The Papers Just Don't Work....

... with the sentiment or the image but I was desperate to use them so I chucked them together anyway! You know how much I love my Zoe Pearn goodies right? Well these babies have been burning a hole on my hard drive for way too long!

I followed the sketch from Dare You to Digi Stamp and I really enjoyed playing with it. I struggled a bit to find the right shaped sentiment and after I had settled for and attached this one, it was only then that I realised I could have done one on the PC which would have been slightly more appropriate...! Oh well, it's done now. I guess I'll give it to someone who is celebrating a new job or something and hope that they don't look too closely at all of the individual elements!

Personally, I think the colours I've used and the flower that Darby is holding make this a pretty summery card. So, I'm going to enter this in to this weeks One Stop Crafts challenge where the theme is 'Summer Fun'. 

I'm off out in to the {recently more rare} sunshine today with my friend, Claire. Bit of a first for me as we are going to support her husband in a local reinactment thing. Doubt we'll see much of it though, probably too busy chin-wagging! Whatever you're up to today, I hope you have a great time ~♥~

Love Bunnies

Whilst I made this card yonks ago, it should still be new to you lovely people as I've never posted it on my blog! I made it for one of my best friends who was getting married a couple of months ago.

Cute Little Makes

Everybody needs a quick little make sometimes, right? Well, I knocked this little pair up super quick with a couple of mega cute little CC Designs stamps from Dies to Die For.

My colouring is a bit iffy unfortunately but I think the papers make up for it. I could literally eat these babies. On. Toast. Mmmmm. Anyway, I'm going to enter this little duo in to the challenges at Cute Card Thursday (Whateva) and Creative Card Crew (Cute and Girly).

Some Multi-Challenging

Hello everyone, hope you aren't getting washed away with all the downpours and thunderstorms we've been having lately! I've just got back from a few days on the Isle of Wight where I've been visiting my parents. Had a great time but desperately need to go on a diet and get back in that gym!!! 

Anyway, I've managed to make another little card which I'd like to share with you today. I'm way behind the times and have only just ordered my first set of Lili of the Valley stamps! So cute, I think these little ones are going to see a lot of action in the run up to Christmas!

So True....!

I stopped drooling from afar and finally treated myself to some fabulous October Afternoon papers. I just love these papers but they are a little hard to get hold of as everyone seems to love them as much as me! I have a few more 8x8 pads on my wishlist, but I guess I'll just have to wait until they come back in to stock :o(

I really enjoyed playing with this fun stamp as it tied in to my papers perfectly. Isn't that sentiment SO true?! I have to admit though, it took me a blinkin' age to colour in that dress. I'm quite heavy handed with my colouring and so I do not know how I managed to avoid all of those polka dots on her dress!

Goodie List........ 
Stamps: 'Housework Diva' by the Diva Collection from DTDF.
Paper: 'Report Card' by October Afternoon. 

Copic Markers: E00, E11, E50, R02, R35, R37, R59, YR23, Y15, Y17, B32, B39, B45, W1, W3, W5, W7 - available HERE from DTDF.

Due to the abundance of spots on this cards, I'm going to enter it in to this weeks Simon Says Stamp challenge. I also nearly forgot, but I followed the sketch over at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge blog.

I'm off to visit the 'rentals on the Isle of Wight for a few days so I might not be able to visit you for a short while. I look forward to catching up when I get back :o)

Happy Birthday........

Now, when you see today's card, don't panic. I haven't had a baby and not told you about it! This is Ali's birthday card from our fish babies!

Yep, bit of a different style for me. Not an image in sight but I was quite pleased with how it turned out. As it is purely text, I think it more than qualifies for this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge where the girls want you to use lots of text. And, as it isn't too fussy and fancy, I am also able to enter it in to the CAS challenge at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays.

Goodie List........

Papertake Sketch Time

Happy Sunday everyone! I've just had my lunch and am now sat in front of the grand prix tapping away on the laptop, looking forward to my week off. Ahh.... it's such a hard life! Thought I'd share a little card I made using yet another Kenny K image.

The eagle-eyed among you will notice that I followed the sketch this week at Papertake. It was a Dawny P spesh and I flipped it over so that it tied in with my image a bit better. I also squeezed in the challenge from One Stop Crafts as they wanted to see patterns. As you can hopefully tell, I went for dots and checks.

Goodie List........
Stamps: Troublemaker by Kenny K.
Paper: Just Chillin' by Making Memories.
