Friday Sketchers .............

I was asked to make an anniversary card for an order but I was seriously lacking my mojo for this card! I could not decide on what papers to use even though I have enough to most probably cover the whole village where I live! Maybe thats the problem, I just have too many to choose from! In the end I choose these papers that I got free with a magazine ages ago and I was really pleased with how this card turned out.

I used a sketch from Friday Sketchers which I love! I really like the flowers being round the bottom of the card and I use this sketch again.

I hope you all have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge *8*- Love

Hi everyone, I hope you are well. We've had lots of snow in Norfolk today so I decided to take some leave and finish at lunch time so I could get home before it gets any worse! I hate driving in the snow especially with my little girl Grace in the car.

Anyway onto my DT card for the Pollycraft Challenge, this week we have a great theme of 'Love' set by Emma W, this was a great challenge for me as it is my second wedding anniversary tomorrow so this is the card that I have made for my husband Will using the new 'Promise' download from Pollycraft Designs. I love these new downloads they are such great value as for £1.99 you five fantastic images! I am hoping that Will doesn't mind the flowers I added, I just had to add them as they were just the perfect colour match lol!

There is a great prize up for grabs for the winner of this challenge and the rest of DT have put together some fantastic inspiration for you which you can see over at Pollycraft.

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment if you have time.

Penny Black & Cute Card Thursday Double Challenge Card

This card is for the Penny Black Challenge Sketch 2 which I loved! I will definitively be using this sketch again! It is also for this weeks challenge at Cute Card Thursday which is 'The two of us'. As I needed to make a card for my husband's sister and her husband for their anniversay next week this was a great theme!

Me and my sister took my little girl Grace swimming for the first time today, I had a little float for her to sit in which was really good. It was so funny to see her little face but she seemed to really like it! My sister took a picture of Grace in her swimming suit so I hope that I will be able to use that for a scrapbook page.
