girly bling








After the last two weeks crafting again is so theraputic , as a " I want to make you feel better and show you I love you" my lovely hubby paid for the full set of Simply Sassy stamps I had on order and they are such lovely stamps I just had to smile. I have used Hippy Chick on this card which is destined for CT 1972 as the Oct card swap theme "Girly" I think she definately fulfills that brief. Gemma on MSE set the challenge " bling" for this fortnight and as I have had limited time I hope that the gems in the flowers and hippy chick's hair will work for that too ( please Gemma xxxx)

MSE/Flying Fresian challenge



The current challenge is Festive Fun and I think these House Mouse stamps fit the bill, I have coloured with promarkers and used diamond glitter on the hats. The backing papers are from last years Daisy and Dandelion " Christmas Collection" which I am trying to use before another year goes flying past and my lovely ribbon is from my stash box I love tartan ribbons and find them so hard to resist so have quite a "few"
I should like to enter this card to the Anything goes challenge " Ribbons" see challenge sidebar
Thanks for looking

Autumn Card






This card was made using Tiets Sketch challenge 45 for the Sugar Bowl with the additional theme Autumn.

All the papers are from my stash box, the edges punched with M S punch and a nestie for the sentiment and the image shape. The image is from Sugar Nellie's Autumn plate and I have used promarkers to colour, and "Thats all I have to say about that" as Forrest Gump would say.


I would like to enter the card in Sugar Bowl Challenge 45 ( see my challenge side bar)
