Purple weekend!!!

I visited a local craft shop and bought some new fabby papers and ribbons. As with all new stash I wanted to use it right away, so the following cards have all been done using the same supplies. Papers are by 'The Paper Company Studio' and the 3 that tempted me were, 'Aubergine Lattice, Rose Impression and Chateau Stripe'.

This card is for the challenge over on Mojo Monday. Image is from Pink Petticoat, Jewels are from Kaiser.


The 2nd card another sketch challenge over on Papertake. This image was very kindly sent to me by a friend.. it's a Hanglar & Stanglar, just gorgeous.

This next card is another sketch, this time on Ismaki. Image is another of my gift Hanglar & Stanglar. I just love the idea of a bright pink dinosaur!!

UK Scrappers cybercrop

There has been a cybercrop over on UKScrappers this weekend. I'm not one for layouts at the moment so I've only completed 1 class. This was designed by Marlene and was entitled 'The devil wears Prada'. I've used some of my new Pink Petticoat images. I've coloured the background paper to make it fit with the red and black theme. The ribbon, flower and buckle are far too old for me to remember where or when I got them.

Girly... but blue

The challenge over on Tilda & Co this week is to create something with a feminine theme... but using the colour blue. So after a lot of creative mess... I came up with this card. In the process of wondering what to do I discovered a corner punch I bought back in November and had never used! (I have too much stuff)! The girl and the tulip background are both Magnolia, flowers are from a punch.

Caardvarks - black and white + 1

What a great challenge this week from the team at Caardvarks - black and white plus one other colour.



I chose bright, girly pink as my other colour. The image and background paper are from Pink Petticoat I just love the glamourous undies in the 'Cheekies' set! The undies are coated with pale pink glitter glue so they really sparkle! Diamantes by Kaiser Craft, huge flower from my stash and the happy birthday greeting is a rubon by Pebbles Inc.

The theme of this weeks challenge on the Cute Card Thursday blog is 'It's a man's world' - we would like to see your cards made for the men/boys in your life''.


The cute dinosaur is from a set by Woodware called 'Dino Friends'. The background paper is by K&Co from the Small Wonders Boy range. I stamped some extra balloons which are mounted on foam pads. The strings are doodled lines and I have used rubons for the Happy Birthday greeting. The green ribbon brads are from Poppicrafts.

Things with wings...

'Things with wings' is this weeks challenge on the Cute Card Thursday blog.


I used a cute little bird stamp by Imaginisce, coloured with watercolour pencils then added a doodle border with a black pen. The patterned paper mat is also by Imaginisce, I used a wavy blade on my paper trimmer to edge the plain pink cardstock.
