Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello.

It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'.

Today's challenge is Let it Snow.  I tried something a little different and while I like the top part of the card, I'm not sure about the sentiment.  I think swirly would have been better - if I made this again, I'd change it!

Snowflakes - Stampin' Up

Not sure where sentiment came from!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Father's Day

I struggled as I didn't want to show a card that I might make for Andy from the boys and I had another card I've made for someone else, but also couldn't show that so wasn't sure what to do then found a card on Pinterest that I used as my inspiration.  This is for my Dad which is why it doesn't say Happy Father's Day as there didn't seem any point in wishing him that.

Sentiment - Avery Elle (I think)

Last Minute Christmas

I've done two cards, but only because I made one last week before realising that the week before was actually a two week challenge so I made another one on Thursday night - just so I'd get the real last minute card feeling!!

#Awkward

Hello.

A wee quick card with a stamp set I bought recently. I didn't make the card until too late, just so I could use this. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

This week our theme is

Mellow Yellow

So lots of yellow on your cards this week please!

This is a card I made for a friend to give her step mum. She asked for yellow roses so I think I fullfilled the brief. Another friend really likes yellow on cards as it's a nice happy colour - I'm not so sure about using it tbh!

It's A Sign

Morning! 

The start of another week - and a short week for me this week as I'm off for a girly crafty weekend on Friday and the boys stop for half term on Friday too so it's quite a nice week really.

Anyway, this card is a sign that my unshared cards are coming to an end! Woohoo. I can't believe how many there were.  Still a few more of last year's to go but not that many.

This is an anniversary card that I did for one of the girls at work to send to her husband. Just a simple card using Stamping Bella's Serena and Her Sign.

How Flexible Are You?

Morning!

Yeah, I can't do Tuesdays.....

This is a card I made for a friend's daughter who's birthday it was at the end of last month. She's recently got in to the Glasgow gymnastic team so Gymnast Molly seemed like a good image to use! I was originally going to give her a purple leotard and had all the paper picked and everything. And then... for some reason I coloured it blue and couldn't find the right papers so she sat for a while till I found something I liked - had to look through every single bit of blue paper I had. It took a while ;)

Rainbows and Unicorns

Hello.

Just a quick post this evening (that has taken me hours to write)

This wee rainbow unicorn has been sitting in my sharing folder for ages as it's a card I made for my friend to give her daughter in July.

I kept the card quite simple as I wanted the unicorn to stand out so just an embossed panel behind the image and some card candy. I think I coloured the mane and tail with Wink of Stella pens and those that I didn't have the colours for were coloured with Copics and clear WoS.

Up!

Morning!

Gosh, it's August! Already. How did that happen?!

So, that's the first week back at work done. Survived, relatively unscathed ;)

This card is a new home card I sent to friends recently, and if you can have a belated new home card, this would be it. They moved ages ago!! 

Cased this from a card I saw on Pinterest, which I stupidly didn't pin but it's based on the film Up with the balloons carrying the house. I've embellished it using a cloud embossing folder and some cloud dies!

Soaking Sunday

Evening.

It's been a bit wet here today - and most of yesterday too. Scott's rugby was cancelled today as the pitch resembled a swimming pool!

It's the wee girl next door's birthday today and this was a perfect opportunity to break out my new LotV stamp - Annabel Texting. I had an idea in my head of what I was going to do with the card, but actually this doesn't look a bit like it - the only thing that was in the plan is the image!!

Moving Along With The Times Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With the Times.

This week our theme, set by Hazel L, is

In The Wild

It's up to you how you interpret it - outside, wild animals, wild flowers.... the possibilities are endless.

I've gone for a wild animal. Well, he doesn't look particularly wild. Or even in the least bit angry. He looks quite happy really.

Ready, Teddy, Bake.

Hello.

If you've been celebrating then I hope you've had a lovely Mother's Day. It's always a tinged with a bit of sadness for me, I hate that I don't have a Mum to celebrate with but I love that I have the boys around to be able to celebrate with me. Even if they insist on watching Spongebob Squarepants.  However, one of my gifts was Postman Pat The Movie DVD so I'm looking forward to watching it after dinner (would have watched this afternoon but Scott is at rugby!) And yes, I really do like Postman Pat!

I have to share this with you, Craig baked a cake to sell at church for Comic Relief. He made £60.92! Isn't that incredible? So proud of him.

So, to today's card. Which, to be honest, is a bit of a disaster. I really loved it until I took it to work to deliver it to the girl who had ordered it. Then I noticed the mistake. Honestly, I could have wept. She (and nobody else at work) noticed, but I did and had I had enough time I would have taken it home and done it again.
