6 of 7

Hello happy Thursday to you all, firstly for those of you who read my blog yesterday and was probably a little confused that I had used a flower stamp from the proud peacock set, that was just a random mistake I popped in. The flower was actually from Flowering Flourishes and I have no idea why I thought it resembled a peacock! Anyway today I am sticking with the Flowering Flourishes set for my next card.

This is by far my favorite design of the week, but to make 8 of these did take some time as the colouring of the stamps with the markers is quite time consuming. I absolutley love this set and this card is actually insprired by a scrapbook layout in the Stampin up Catalogue on page 121. To make this card you need Old Olive and Very Vanilla cardstock, the inks are Island Indigo, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Raspberry Ripple. I have also used the Lables Dies and the Elegant Butterfly Punch finished off with my favorite sentiment set Curly Cute.
Thank you for stopping by tomorrow will be 7 of 7, however I am in the crafting zone, so there will be more projects to follow (dare I say I was making a Christmas wreath last night) You can never be too prepared!

Card 3 of 7

Welcome back again, so here is design number 3:

Ok so I am sticking to the "simple" theme with this one, but it is much more colourful and girlie then the previous. On to a simple white card I have added a red banner made of SU Polka Dot DSP, I have run it through the cuttlebug and die cut the hearts out, I have then stuck it to the card and with some different coloured hearts I have filled the gaps. I have embellished with some simple buttons and added the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Curly Cute stamp set. If you want to make up some simple girlie cards for your stash, than these are perfect.

Thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave me a comment and I hope you come back again tomorrow to see my next card.

Thank You Pillow Boxes

It's only a week until school breaks up and not wanting to do the usual last minute dash to the shops for a thank you gift for the teachers I have made some thank you pillow boxes to fill with sweeties. It's the first year Sam has been at pre school, and he has a lot of teachers, so I thought these would be a perfect little gesture for them all.

Hope you like them! They were quite straight forward to make, but drop me a line if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for stopping by.

2 Challenges!

Today I have used a couple of the online challenge sites for inspiration. I loved this colour challenge

from The Play Date Cafe, unfortunately it's last weeks one, so I have missed the deadline to enter, but here is what I came up with:

Stamps used: Triple Treat Flower, Posy Punch (hostess set)
Colours Used: Rich Razleberry, Island Indigo, Perfect Plum.
I really enjoyed this colour combo as you can see! I thought I would then move onto the ColourQ challenge this week and I wish I could say I was as enthusiastic about this combination of colours.

It certainly took me out of my comfort zone, which I guess is the whole point. This is what I came up with:

Stamps used: Everything Eleanor, Curly Cute, Springtime Stems.
Not loving it, but I will enter it anyway!
Thanks for stopping by
