Sunday Challenges….

Morning….and yaaay we have a sunny spring like day up here, it’s wonderful to see some sun after all that snow..

Well I’ve been browsing the Sunday Challenges and have made a card for Winter Wonderland whose theme is Monochromatic so another white card, can’t seem to step away from white at the moment.

I stamped this gorgeous Serendipity Stamp and divided it into circles using my Nesties, Used the cuttlebug for the bottom of the card, added some glitter, ribbon, pearls and pins.

Penny Black Saturday

Afternoon folks, had to do a double take there still thought it was Morning!! Wow where does the time go, feels like I have just got up!!

Now I haven’t done a Penny Black Challenge for such a long time, so I dug out my Penny Black “CityScape” stamp and made a new home card using the fabby sketch they have this week.

Did some embossing and layering, added a border using Making Memories stamp and finally small pearls.. et Voila!!! LOL

Friday Sketchers

Back again with a Mothers Day Card using the great sketch over at Friday Sketchers.

 

These yummy papers are from Prima and I lurve them!!

PATTI FROM ALTERED ATTIC

Well Done Patti, will get everything in the post as soon as I hear back from you!

Papertake Weekly - Sketch 34

Another great sketch over at Papertake Weekly Challenge. 

This little image is from Stamping Bella called Ivy Ketto, available at The Craft Barn HERE coloured with Pro Markers. I am really loving these little stamps. The papers are Basic Grey Marrakech and I used my trusty Martha Stewart border punch.

The sentiment I found in my stash drawer..

Well has the weather turned a corner, feeling a bit spring like here today and the nights are certainly getting a bit lighter. Wow and the sun has just come out too!

Peaches spotted another cat in the garden today, the first "other" cat she has seen. Well the tail went out like a bush and she was transfixed. There was a stare off and of course Peaches is an indoor cat so couldn't actually do anything but her eyes were as wide as saucers. Bless!!

Have a great Saturday!

Something Completely Different

Flowers and the beautiful brown and pearl centre are from Prima also from The Craft Barn. Lace is from my local craft shop and the leaves are Leone Em Punches.

Have had a lovely relaxing "quiet" weekend but the parents are due back soon so my peace will be shattered!!! LOL!!

It's been a while since I did a layout so I thought it's be great to do one, bit rusty mind you but here are the Furries sharing a cuddly moment!!! It is actually 12 x 12 but looks smaller in the photo!!
