It Clearly Says Birthday!

 I can't say that I was over the moon with this card,

I didn't think it looked so bad but then it's like the camera really doesn't lie, it looks a bit off balance now that I can see it here.

Well maybe not off balance but a little bit.... well, hanging there. It's too late to worry about it now as my son gave it to the recipient last week but if I ever decide to make another, I will sit the flower slightly lower.

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

OSAAT219, Anything goes with a die,

CC19, Use acetate.

Hooked

A quick post sharing a card made last weekend.

Another bit of practice with the Polychromos, some washi tape and my trademark tiny tag (lol), this one is rather smaller than I'd meant it to be but as I was crafting away from home at the time I had to go with what I'd got and that was the one from the sheet that I'd printed out in the wrong size, oops!

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

FAF109, Birthday,

Graph it 10, Male colours,

KIS35, stripes,

SSC110, Young man,

PCJ, Boyish,

MIM181, Anything goes.

Today's The Day!

So exited, from the moment I sneaked a peek at this image I knew it was going to be a firm favourite of mine, in fact  I've already used it on three cards!

"Floral delight 3"

and they are on

 sale as from today at only £1.75 each.

The challenge theme for this fortnight is:-

"Flowers Galore!"

like the best and leave a comment on the challenge blog to

your four favourite from the new release!

Isn't it gorgeous! I just love the way the baskets hang there from the line! I added a little hand doodled line down the left hand side,a few dots of liquid pearls and a sprinkle of glamour dust, as simple as it gets! 

I felt brave enough to break out the Polychromos for this one too! The birthday die cut by PTI, double cut to give an interesting shadow and a tiny computer generated sentiment, hand cut and doodled on to make it look like it hangs from the Y. some paper piercing and layering and voila, card complete!

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

OSAAT 200, Use a digi,

TCCB193, Stitches,

Well, I did tell you there was another one, and this is it!

 hanging the numbers from it!

2TC68, T,A,P,E. (Eighteen)

Simply Last Minute

No surprise really, my son always leaves it till the last minute to request a card, in fact, this one was requested and made yesterday and yet another last minute request was made today for another party tonight but I'll share that one with you another time.

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

CFC125, In a word,

CCC1, Birthdays,

STB1, Numbers,

CBD, Birthdays,

PWC292, Buttons,
