Papertake weekly challenge

Whats this another challenge ?? I really must calm down that's two in a week. LOL. I love the challenges on the papertake blog and have been itching to have a go. So here is the card I made for their challenge of 'buttons'. I bought these mini cards a while ago and thought they would be a great size for a note card or Thank you. Being as they are smaller than the normal cards I use I thought a simple layout would work best and must say I'm really pleased with it.

The stamp is from the pink cat studio tweet plate. The sentiment is pinched, or as I prefer recycled, from a card that was sent to me, I only tried it by chance but I think it really works,and I coloured the bags and the flower with glitter gel pens to add a touch of sparkle. Hope you all like it and can I say thank you to all the people who left messages on my previous post you made me feel very welcome in this crafty world!!

Sketch Saturday Challenge

Woo Hoo...... I finally managed to do a challenge and here it is. I chose the challenge on the Sketch Saturday blog. Normally I don't get chance to do them on time, so I waited until Jack was tucked up fast asleep in bed and got started. Once I found a spark of inspiration the sketch was really fun to do.

I used a stamp from pink cat studio and papers from paper mania. the ribbon and flowers were left overs from my stash. Hope you like it

Thank you

Simrans Mum Loved the lily card I made for her so much that she emailed me and asked for some thank you cards in the same design. It was a lot of work as she wanted them quite quickly so I took the things I needed to work and did some stamping in my lunch hour!!

the materials I used are all the same as before

A card for Simran

My friend asked me to make a card for his niece Simran's 1st birthday, so here it is. I had already seen a picture of her so Iknew the dress up lily plate from pink cat studio would be perfect especially as her mum always put her hair into little pigtails!

I have to say I'm really pleased with it and would have loved to receive this when I was a little girl. the papers are all by papermania in the pastels collection (my favourite!) Its shame that you cant tell from the pic but her wings are purple glitter and really sparkle. Oh well I hope she likes it as much as I do

Nans Birthday

Here is the card I made for my lovely Nan. She loves gardening and flowers, and with her name being Kitty I knew this would be perfect, and I was right she just loved it.
The stamp is by pink cat studio from the crafty kitty plate, the papers and the rub on sentiments are from the pastels range by papermania and the flowers I got in a set at hobbycraft

Love you Daddy

Here is the card I made on behalf of my 1 year old Jack. We both hope his Daddy likes it.

I used the billy stamps from Pink Cat studio, and coloured it accordingly to look like Jack, the buttons I had left over from a set I bought in smiths when I was making my mom a scrapbook of Jack.

Happy Fathers Day Daddy

Love Vicky and Jack Xxx

Fathers day

Well with fathers Day just around the corner everyone has been talking about buying cards so I decided to make a few to sell. making cards for all the men in our lives has not been easy, trying to come up with new ideas instead of the usual fishing and golf stuff was quite challenging! Although I did get a lot of inspiration from the "Billy" stamps from Pink Cat Studio. For Dads with young Children these are great. I have also thrown in some origami shirts for the traditionalists amongst us.
Hope you like

Rita's Birthday

This one is just for you Nat... I know you wanted to see it.
Here is a pic of the card I made for Rita's birthday, Hope she liked it.
Happy Birthday Rita XXX

I used lily from Pink cat studio, and the papers were from the paper mania pastels pack. The sketch I used was on the Papertake weekly challenge. I never get to do the challenges straight away but still use them for inspiration. The flowers I recycled from a card that someone sent to me. They were so lovely I couldn't bear to throw them away.

Happy 2nd anniversay

Today is my 2nd wedding anniversary!

Here is the card I made for my wonderful husband. He likes froggies so I knew he would like this. The image is from Pink Petticoat which I coloured with water colour pencils then I coloured the heart with a red glitter gel pen so it really sparkles. The spotty paper was free in papercraft inspirations magazine (they always have such great freebies)

Its simple but it says everything I wanted it too. Xxx

natalies 18th

My friend at work Natalie is 18 today and a while ago she asked me to make her cake for her. So I agreed. she said she didn't care what it was like so long as it was pink. No problem I love Pink. she has a tattoo of some stars on her foot and that was my inspiration. I even made the butter cream inside pink by putting pink colouring in it.

Apparently it went down a storm and there wasn't a scrap left, I didn't even get a piece myself !!

I have to say thank you to the man in the icing shop for all his help and tips he was really good and helped me loads.

I did make her a card too with lily, from Pink Cat Studio, on it, but silly me forgot to take a pic. so you,ll have to use your imagination. needless to say it was pink! Xxx
