Pretty In Pink ...

Today I'm sharing a pretty card made for a lady I work with - she wanted pink, sparkly with a number three on it and it fits perfectly with the monochromatic theme for todays Papertake Weekly Challenge. I love that little Ballerina from Lily Of The Valley :)

Oops too late ...

Does anyone else always manage to forget to post their challenge cards until after the challenges have closed?  So, today I am sharing the card I made for this weeks challenge at Lili Of The Vallery but I missed the challenge and now it's closed. Nevermind though as I enjoyed making the card and now I have another Christmas card to add to my growing pile - the cloud does have a silver lining :)

Papers - Mr & Mrs Collection by Nitwit Collections

I've left the sentiment off as I'm not sure who will be recieving this yet and I may want to add their name. The gorgeous papers are the newest release from Nitwit Collections called Mr & Mrs Collection and it features the sweetest Santa Claus and Mrs Claus so I just had to use them both and some more of the papers in another Christmas card

I made this card at the weekend and now I am back at work I'll have to get back into my weekend only crafting routine. I've been off 6 weeks and today was the first day back. I had a lovely day catching up with all my work pals and getting our classroom ready for the children who will fill it tomorrow.

Happy Birthday ...

I have a Happy Birthday card to share today and it is my DT card for Papertake Weekly challenge.  I used a Heather Ellis digital stamp, October Afternoon papers, LOTV sentiment stamp and of course lovely ribbons and a spotty button from Ribbon Girl

The challenge is to use punches and I used my favourite Martha Stewart border punch and Stampin Up star and circle punches

A Happy Birthday Card ...

Today was my brothers birthday. I should have been making his boy themed birthday card this morning but instead I spent the time playing with my new Hanglar stamps and making a girly themed birthday card :)

(Digital papers from this kit at Sweet Shoppe Designs, Hanglar stamp, sentiment stamp from LOTV, Lace, ribbon, twine, charm, button, dewdrops and stickles all from Ribbon Girl)

I am entering my card into the Just Magnolia & Hanglar challenge as well as the LOTV challenge as they both asked for birthday cards

My brother did get a card by the way, I found one in my drawer and his present was easy - he wanted a massive pile of sand and cement so that he can build his new patio so I just put money into his bank account. Copics and ribbons and pretty things I know where to buy, sand and cement I have no idea :lol:

Birthday Wishes ...

The new LOTV challenge is to create a card using the colours of peach and green. This is my entry to the challenge using the sweetest little LOTV stamp

stamp - LOTV, colour medium - Copic, sentiment stamp - Papertrey, papers - Prima, flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts, ribbon, stickles and diamante heart stick pin - Ribbon Girl
