Papertake Weekly Challenge ...

Better late than never I say - so here is my Papertake Weekly challenge card. This week the challenge is 'Here Comes The Sun' basically a card that reminds you of the sunny summer or has a summery feel to it.

I made my card using papers and images from Crafters Companion  and the ribbons and starfish charm came from Ribbon Girl who just happen to be sponsoring the PTW challenge this week with a choice of a ribbon kit

The challenge runs until Tuesday

Glug Glug Glug ...

I love this little submarine. It's an element from Traci Reed's Rub A Dub digital kit and the paper is fab too! I think I will be using this kit a lot for boy cards

(Papers and submarine from this digital kit, ribbon, crystals and dewdrops from Ribbon Girl)

(Submarine from this digital kit, crystals, dewdrops, twine ande button from Ribbon Girl)

Happy Birthday Hannah ...

It was my friend and fellow pink lover Hannah's birthday last week. I couldn't go to her party so sent her present and card through the post.  I decorated a square gift box to house her birthday gift as well as the coordinating birthday card so that it didn't get squashed whilst in the post. As well as the overload of pinkness the card even had a flamingo on it because Hannah loves flamingo's, it took me a while to track down the perfect pink flamingo but I eventually found it :)

I used papers from this digital kit and the flamingo from this digital kit and of course all the ribbons and lace were from the Ribbon Girl
