...to Someone Special

Hi and happy Friday crafting friends.

I'm really liking the simplicity of this card, can't believe I've used torn cardboard box on it either. 

Well late yesterday I finally seemed to want to make a card and found the sketch challenge #235 at Just Us Girls and then the theme at the Paper Players PP190 - three of anything, so after deciding on the corrugated pieces I pick a metallic plain background and found this gorgeous medallion stamp (a freebie from a magazine) that I just finished off with a small gem. 

Thanks for taking a peek Robyn

 

Happy Birthday

A quick bright birthday card from me this afternoon using the themes from the Paper Player PP#83 - Stars, and Just Add Ink #202 - Stripes and the colours from Just Us Girls JUGS#228.

Thanks for taking a peek Robyn   

JAI # 202 Just Add Stripes

Best Wishes on your Birthday

  

Wow this card came together for me so quickly after I found the roses designer paper which worked for me with the Curtain Call January 1 challenge - Smitten. This is a new blog challenge for me and I  love the colours, mine are a bit subtler but I like them and I've with this with the layout at Just Us Girls #222. Thanks for taking a peek

Happy Birthday Mermaid

Crazy 4 Challenges C4C194- Marine Life

Old, New Borrowed or Blue

JAI 173 - Just Add....Water

 

A fun card today for a number of blog challenges....Water, Marine seem to be a theme this week so I've combined a few. 

At Papertake Weekly they're asking for a card using one of the theme - Old, New, Borrowed or Blue; so I've chosen Old being the stamped mermaid and the sentiment from my pre-stamped drawer (both years old) and they were both created from Borrowed stamps (hence in the stash drawer). New would be the white card stock for the card base and Blue for the marine/water theme which also falls into the catagory for Addicted to CAS - Water - the waves I created with the die cut border and chalks and the mermaid is painted with my Twinkling H2Os so can also be for the Mixed Media technique challenge at Just Us Girls JUGS197.  My card also fits with the Marine theme at Crazy4Challenges C4C194 and Just Add Water over at Just Add Ink JAI173.  Thanks for taking a peek

JAI 170 - Just Add Leaves Theme Challenge

Yesterday my friend Vikki found us a new technique to try - Delft Tile technique check it out here. It's really cool and easy enough to do and another great use for our Scorepal.
I stamped up the tile panel and then used it in my layout for the Cardabilities sketch #77, added some die cut leaves for Just Add Ink challenge JAI 170 and positioned my floral medallion just over the edge for CAS-ual Fridays CFC106.  I'm really liking my soft blue card and had fun creating some rolled flowers and buds.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Happy Birthday

  

Oh boy my mojo's been asleep for a few days, isn't that what happens when you really have to make a card - I need two by this weekend as I will have little time to create over the next few weeks with my mum visiting and I just want to spend special time with her.

So from somewhere this card has appeared and I'm quite pleased with the effect of embossed vellum.

I've used the layout for CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#28 and the colours for Just Us Girls JUGS#189.  I've swiped Coral chalk over the raised vellum but it doesn't show too well in the photo.

Thanks for taking a peek

Special day Wishes

   
My card this afternoon started with me make a long card for the CAS-ual Friday CFC86 challenge, then I combined it with the colours at JUGS172 - gorgeous Lime Green, Grey and White and the Chuppa's lovely layout at Sketchbook Saturday #88.
We four had a super weekend creating at Vikki's and I just want to thank her for sharing her space with us - it's a cheery room where we were able to spread out and feel at home, bounce our ideas of each other and share our stuff, looking forward to our next stamp weekend.

JUGS #96

Hello fellow JUGsters- (pinch that one from the JUGS blog) - I've managed to make two cards this week for the challenge and add another card to my Christmas stash....so I'm happy to go off now and do the ironing (oh dear what am I saying, but it's got to be done). Cheers and have a great week....

RobVik #5 and JUGS70 and Mojo 191

Afternoon friends.....I've had a busy week, with stock-take at work so it was wonderful to just spend the afternoon making cards. Thanks again to Vikki for her company and encouragement. Here are my three cards I made today. Our RobVik challenge was to use colours - navy, olive, yellow, craft and white. And I thought the Mojo this week definitely called for a Christmas card - so I've made two. Thanks for visiting.....

RobVik #3 and Mojo 73 and JUGS83

For this RobVik challenge I mailed Vikki these papers and card, we both loved the colours but still found it interesting to put together as we didn't want to cover up the patterned paper. Vikki has a lovely card on Mojo 189, thumbnail 182 and I scanned through the archived Mojo sketches to help me...the true colours are not as dark as the photo. Thanks for having a look :-)

JUGS83

I like these colours a lot so decided to use my leftover papers to make another card using the JUGS recipe.
