Merry & Bright

Another Christmas card to share. This one had mailing in mind so I kept it pretty flat. Just a few layers :) I used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #138. I'm also entering this in Paper Sundaes Challenge #99 - Anything Christmas and Paper Variety's Challenge - Anything Goes.

A Cute Christmas

Hi - I've been wanting to use this Candy Cane paper from Stampin Up since last Christmas and I finally got around to making a quick card. I recently picked up these rub-ons from the same line and decided to use them instead of stamping. The challenge over at Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenge was a recipe: 2 designer papers, ribbon and a bird. Now you see why I used the rub-on!! I also used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #131. And because this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we were asked to use PINK as well.

Happy Halloween

I never ever thought I'd do a Halloween card, but yes, I got caught up in the idea and now I love it!! I picked up a couple new Halloween stamps the other day from Dat's, like this little Kraftin Kimmie Pumpkin Miles stamp and couldn't wait to ink him up!! I love the Stickles on his hat and the charcoal coloured twine :) - actually I love the whole card!!

I used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch #124.


I also entered this week's Catch the Bug Challenge - September Anything Goes.

Okay - here we go! This is the third birthday card for this month, which I forgot about, so I still have two more to do

This is for a friend's little boy who is turning two. I'm so glad to finally use this stamp. I used it once at a card class and had to have it!! I'm loving these bright colours and cordoroy brads!

I used this weeks Sweet Stop Sketch #120. I'm also entering this card in Crafty Calendar's August Challenge - Hot Colours and Catch the Bug's August Anything Goes Challenge.

You're Fin-Tabulous!

Hello - well before I'm off to enjoy this beautiful long weekend I wanted to share a birthday card I made for a friend last night. I used last week's Sweet Stop Sketch but unfortunately I was too late to enter :(

No worries though, it was the perfect sketch for this card. I am entering this into Paper Sundaes Challenge #79 - Beachy or Summer and the Crafty Calendar Challenge for July - Under the Sea or Water.

This is my first time inking up Arianna from Kraftin Kimmie and using Amy R's Summer Sentiments. I used my new paper pack from Bo Bunny - Barefoot and Bliss. The sparkly starfish is from their matching button collection as well.
