Still Catching Up

A lovely friend of mine gave me a LOTV Sketch Pad for my birthday, I have to confess that I didn't realise you could buy this sort of thing, it's something I will definitely look out for in the future as it gives a gorgeous selection of printed images, none of my hit and miss stamping lol!

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

ACB, W for whatever you wish,

MIM171, Anything goes,

Bloggers, Celebration,

C4E156, Something new,(Sketch pad)

One Stamp

What an amazing amount of entries there was last week for the Anything goes challenge at Scrapbook Sisters! I'm sure that this week's theme will be just as popular!

"One Stamp"

So for my DT card I used my lovely LOTV stamp and just to highlight that it was for a Birthday, I added a tiny calendar with my friend's birthday date on it.The colour theme initially was inspired by the tag on one of my new summer T shirts, the twisted threads are just so scrummy, I need to treat myself to something else in the range as there's some different threads on some of them lol! they are scrummy though, thank you M&S! Luckily I found the perfect colour match in my Polka dot papers. Where the threads were tied they ended up with a gorgeous tassel of the mixed colours, I couldn't bring myself to hide them so instead used them in the centre of my bloom with the addition of a button. The seam binding was coloured with Copics to match the papers. 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Cupcake 199, Bright as a button,

Fashionista, Winged things,

MG, Bright colours,

DVC35, Things with wings,
Anything goes, Birthday, polka dots,

The Ribbon Girls, Girlie.

Feeling Sketchy

Evening all,it's nice to see you! I've always got a card on the go but I can't believe that I wasn't prepared for two family birthdays this week.My Sister-in-laws birthday is today and I didn't get round to making her card till this morning,very naughty, I'll show you that one another time as I'd hoped to catch up with her today but didn't manage it,there's a chance she might look on here before I see her.  This card is for Saturday but I think I should be safe to show it here. I wanted to use my LOTV fairy, I haven't used a sketch for a while now but when I saw this  one I thought it would be perfect. 

The papers are from the 12x12 paper pack.First Edition"Spring Feast" I thought the pattern echoed the curls of the hair on the image. The next photo isn't brilliant as it  was taken in the sun light but shows how glittery the papers are. 

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

LOTV's 102,Sketch by Donalda,

Crafty Creations 124,Let it shine,

Belli 120,G-glittery,

EAC147,Anything goes,

MPS, Wings,

Bunny Zoe's 13,Fairies,

TCSP20,Things with wings.

Garden Of Wishes

Well,it's nearly the weekend,normally I'd be doing a little happy dance but this Friday means I've only two full days left before I have to go back to work :( Oh well,I'd best make the most of the weekend! Now,a very lovely scrapbooking friend gave me a little gift,my first "Lili Of The Valley" stamp, isn't she lovely,the friend and the fairy! The stamp is called "Garden Of Wishes". A brilliant reason to enter this weeks challenge at LOTV,I coloured the beautiful image with Copics,added stickles to her wings and as the challenge is Circles I did"out of the circle" wings using Revolution circles through the Cuttlebug.The background was made by stamping pink dotty circles on to white card and rubbing over it with luster rub ons which add a pearly sheen. I then cut some flowers from the pink DP and added roses to their centres. I thought I'd get clever and punch small circles from the paper,emboss them using Swiss Dots folder and glue them to the back of the focal circle,what a waste of time that was, it looks like I've used a scalloped Nestie, I could have saved myself some time.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
LOTV85,Circles,
Fussy And Fancy,Embossing or paper piecing,
Stamp Something,With flowers,
Wags and Whiskers 48,Punches,
Crafts and Me,Spread your wings,
Creative Card Crew,Fantasy.
That's me for this evening,have a lovely weekend,
