Double Challenge Card .........

Hi everyone I am amazed I had the energy to make a card tonight as I have driven half way round Norfolk today for my job. I used a nice simple sketch from Paper take Weekly Challenge for the first challenge and the second challenge was Just Magnolia who have a theme of using handmade flowers on your card.

I'm off to bed now, thanks for popping by.

Double Challenge Card .........

Hi everyone, I hope your week is going well. This card is for 2 challenges, the first challenge is Papertake Weekly Challenge who have another great sketch this week. I'm not quite sure that I have done this sketch justice as I think that the image is too big but hopefully the end result is not too bad. The second challenge this card is for is Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week their challenge is a receipe 1,2,3, 1 image, 2 papers and 3 embellishments. At least this receipe worked a lot better than the ones I attempt that involve food as I'm an awful cook!

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

Double Challenge Card .........

This card is for two challenges, the first is for Sketch Saturday who have a great sketch this week and the second is for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and their theme this week is 'Cute as a Button' so you have to have a cute image and some buttons. This card is also for my Nan whoose birthday it is next week.

This is my first attempt at paper piecing, I don't think it turned out too bad, I would love to know what you think? I always appreciate your comments.

Thanks for popping in.

Triple Challenge Card........

This is the only card I've had time to make this week so at least I managed to hit 3 challenges in one! The first challenge this card is for is the Imaski sketch challenge. I really enjoyed using this sketch as it made me use a different size card to a square which is what I normally make.

The second challenge this card is for is for this weeks ABC Challenge. Their challenge this week is 'J for Jewels' so I've added plenty of those to my card, I like a bit of bling on my cards!

The third challenge this card is for is Cute Card Thursday as this week's theme is 'Lots of Sparkle'. I think I've managed that with the glitter and snowflakes and jewels.

This is my first attempt at making a card using my new promarkers. I don't think it turned out too bad. I would love to know what you think, so please leave me a comment if you have time.

Tag Your It ........

Well I got mum's birthday card made now this is the tag to go on her present. I'm making her a digital brag book to fit in a 6x4 album so probably won't get anymore cards made for a few days as I haven't started it yet and her birthday is on Saturday! I am going to fill the book with pictures of Grace.

Anyway back to this tag as I was going to make a tag I thought I might as well take part in the challenge at Tag Your It where the challenge this week is 'Needle & Thread' and you have to include either machine or hand stitching on your tag. This is not something I would normally do as I'm not very good at sewing but I quite enjoyed putting the stitching on this tag. That's why I love challenges as they stretch to you to do things you wouldn't normally do!

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

Double Challenge Card ...........

After making two blue and green cards I was in serious need of some pink, hot pink to be precise! So this card fits the bill and is another Christmas one made! I have never been so organised with Christmas cards in my life, its a shame my maternity leave ends in January and I will have to go back to work! Never mind I am making the most of it and spending time with my little girl Grace and a little bit of crafting time in between.

Anyway back to the card, this is for two challenges, the first is for Katharina's Sketch #10 over at Paper Weekly Challenge I absolutely love this sketch and will be using it again. The other challenge that this card is for Tilda & Co as the challenge this week is to have embossing on your card.

The ribbon on this card looks a bit red in the photo but it is bright pink and matches the paper, I don't know why the colours don't always come out right!

Thanks for stopping by, please a leave a comment if you have time, I always appreciate them.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch 13

These two cards were made using this week's sketch over at Sketch Saturday. I had great fun making these 2 cards using this sketch. This sketch was so easy to use and I got to use my new toy my threading water punch!

I have enjoyed the bank holiday weekend so far as Will actually got the day off today as it rained! We had a nice ride out which did include a quick visit to the Paper Mill Shop at Spalding and a pub lunch. So I've stocked up on card and some more patterned paper. I really do have a bad addiction for paper, other things I can resist but paper no! I brought two packs of paper a DCVW pink christmas pack and DCVW Nana's Nursery Baby Girl. The Nana's Nursery paper is so pretty! Some of the paper is glittered and has sheets with cherries and strawberries which I love. I can't wait to use it!

I hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday and having plenty of time to craft!

Sketch Saturday

As my husband Will has been at work all day and is still there, I thought I would make a card using this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday.
I struggled with this card, I kept pulling it apart and adding and taking bits away, I'm still not quite sure about this one! I would welcome any comments please!
I am hoping Will might be home before 9.30pm but its very unlikely unless it rains, I better get doing my rain dance!

Raspberry Ribbons Sketch 2

Raspberry Ribbons added their second sketch so thought I would have ago at making a card using my new Tilda stamp.

Well the sun has come out at last, only downside is that means my husband Will will be late home from work as he works on a farm. I'm probably the only women that loves it when it rains! I only want it to rain on my little corner of Norfolk though not on everyone!
