With Love....Just for You

 

My card this evening is for the Scrapbook Boutique month challenge - don't you just love these sweet cupcakes as inspiration. Finding this gorgeous background designer paper helped me so much - the soft colours with splash of bright pink helped me layer up a flower and softly colour the little bird.  I used Inspired by Stamping stamps to add the 'with love' sentiment in to top corner and 'just for you' in the bottom. The folded card leaves space for your own words on the inside. I'm entering it in the Inspired by Stamping Blog Hop 'Flowers' challenge and House of Cards - colour inspirational photo as a Classic card, too.

Thinking of You

 I've made this card for my sister-in-law who has just had breast surgery. I'm a breast cancer survivor so I'm there for her as are all her family....please have your checks ladies.
I've taken the colours from the Scrapbook Boutique inspirational photo for the January challenge.....two shades of pink and brown. I created the background by distess ink sponging over the little baking paper die cuts you get when you use it with fine dies. I sponged and different floral die cut and layered the card.

Happy Father's Day

 Well Father's Day just crept up so quickly this year and I was caught on the hop with one for Stephens dad, got that sorted and sent and today I've rustled up with for hubby....using the theme at Scrapbook Boutique August monthly challenge and over at Shopping Our Stash SOS#116 they want a 'Boy Card'.  Thanks for taking a peek



SOS #116 For The Boys

Happy Birthday

  

Oh doesn't that cupcake look too gorgeous to eat...love the folded flower and tiny pearls to finish it - so thank you Scrapbook Boutique for the June inspiration photo. I was definitely inspired to make a card.......I love these lovely fabric flowers you can buy now and so I designed my card around it and now I have my tiny flower punch unpacked I guess I'll be using them again too.

Birthday Greetings

  

This card has just come together for me as I searched through my collection of pre-cut dies and scraps...I wanted to do a card for the Scrapbook Boutique colour challenge for January - gorgeous Lemon and Lime and I've teamed it with the layout at Paper Craft Crew card sketch #26. Layered it all on this super embossed background and topped it with a layered daisy.

Retro Sketches, Scrapbook Boutique

   

On a roll here at Vikki's - here's my second card using colours from Scrapbook Boutique - October challenge and the layout from Retro Sketches #32 - the centre pink panel I made for another card and it looked awful so luckily it peeled off and "wella" it fitted perfectly with the chocolate brown. ... I'm happy.  There's lots of chatter and sharing and a few more friends have called in too.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Scrapbook Boutique, Sketchbook Saturday Challenge

   

A bit of a lazy day here in Perth, I finished reading my novel and thankfully the sun is shining.
I've put together this bright 'friends' card using the layout from Sketchbook Saturday and the colours from an article in Oct Better Homes and Gardens and also a bunch of buttons for the Scrapbook Boutique monthly challenge. Thanks for taking a peek.

Scrapbook Boutique, Mothers' Day

 

I'm so pleased I sat down again at my desk and to make my mum this Mothers' Day card...I'm really pleased with it and the soft pink and greens give it an old world effect. It also falls into the challenge this month for Scrapbook Boutique's theme of Pink and Green.  I live a very long way from my mum - she's a very special mum to us six kids and I truly wish we lived a lot closer at this time especially when she's coping with my dad who is very sick. Hugs for all mum's out there young and old, and like me in between.

Scrapbook Boutique challenge, Less is More, Our Creative Corner

 

Morning everyone, hump day, Wednesday today and I enjoy cruising my favourite challenge blog sites to see how my weekend is going to evolve with the creative challenges and participants out there.
I do like trying to combine a couple at once - so here today I have used the Scrapbook Boutique February challenge (photo above) for inspiration on colour and content and then the Our Creative Corner girls challenge - Over the Edge ; had me simply turning my square into a diamond and so off the card front and finally to play along with the Less is More Week 56 challenge Don't Scrap It - to use your scraps....here I am always playing along - I'm terrible - save every thing, you'd be surprised what stamping mistakes are on the back and even my card base is an abandoned card with a smudge on the wording so here I placed a pearl discretely on to disguise my oops... :)  I created the checked card using the inked edge of a piece of foam and first time use also of my Cuttlebug Take the Cake - die and embossing set.  Thanks for taking a peek..

Scrapbook Boutique challenge, the Sweet Stop

  

Well I'm on a roll this morning - here's my card for the Scrapbook Boutique January challenge using purple, white and green  and also the Sweet Stop sketch challenge SSS143. Purple is one of my favorite colours and I haven't made one for quite awhile so it was nice to see the little purple cakes pop-up at Scrapbook Boutique. I also made my paper flower using the Sizzix Birds and Blooms Flower Press die which I'm mighty impressed with.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Scrapbook Boutique challenge

Morning addicted card makers....This is my card for the Scrapbook boutique monthly challenge for October, just making my post by the skin of my teeth...but I really wanted to have a go as black and white are not my favourite colours to work with...the inspiration are the challenges gorgeous black and white flower cup cakes...and I do like flowers. I couldn't resist adding a smug of dusty pink :)
