Sugar Bowl #2 - Three!

Here is my card for Challenge #2 over at the SugarBowl. The challenge this time is 'Three', three different papers and 3 embellishments :0)

I have been having a major sort-out in my craft space, still ongoing!! and found lots of papers I've had for years and these particular ones (the blue & yellow ones) reminded me of a ribbed jumper so I decided to use the cute Sugar Nellie monkey from the Little Cotton Rabbit range.

The fabric corners I've used are sooo old too, a freebie from a mag a long time ago!!!!

The topic up for discussion on the Sugar Nellie blog is CAS, clean and simple cards, and I must say I love this style of card too. As much as I love following layered sketches and adding lots of embellies I think the CAS style is just as effective and it lets your stamped image shine through :) With this in mind I kept to a simple layout for this card and because it is a boyish card it is suited to it I think!

3 in 1 baby card!!

Bit tight for time this week! so I have managed to combine 3 of my favourite challenges into the 1 card today! and I must say I like the result :0)

The layout is this weeks sketch from Sketch Saturday, the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday is 'dotty' and at A Spoonfull Of Sugar to make a card for a baby, mum-to-be or toddler. So I had to use one of my favourite PB stamps 'Baby hedgie in a Hammock'.

Image coloured using my prisma's and the flowers, butterfly and teddy are 3-d. Not sure who the 'dotty' paper is by as I was given this as a RAK as well as the cute little buttons and brads from Eva, thanks again Eva ;0)

Hope you like my 3 in 1 card!!

Edited to add - Forgot to say I have been given a 'Your blog is Fabulous' award from fellow Docrafter Dei, thanks Dei!
I have added it to my sidebar :0)
I will pass this award onto Tammi, Eva and Monica :0) All blogs I visit often and love!!

Hello Spring! - Friday Sketchers..

Here is my card using this week's fabulous Friday Sketchers sketch from Mumur of France, I love this sketch :0)

I have used a Sarah Kay image I was very kindly sent in a swap along with the new Papermania Spring Burst papers, loving these too!!

Image coloured with prisma's, greeting is a rub-on and pretty flowers to finish with button centres.

I am also entering this as a 'spring' themed card on the Docrafts forum.

PBS - Pink and Brown!

This week's challenge over at Penny Black Saturday is to use pink and brown in your design :0) Not a problem for me as I love this colour combo!

I have made a card folder instead of a card, and I intend to make some little Penny Black notelets to go inside when I get the chance :)

Papers from a Costco pack, SU cardstock, flowers cut with my x-cut retro punch and little gems added.

I was kindly sent the instructions to make this folder from Monica, a SU demonstrator. Thanks Monica x

Apologies for the photos, the colours are richer IRL, the light I used seems to have washed them out a bit! it's really quite dark here today!

Spoonfull of Sugar - Paper Piecing

Here is my card for challenge #34 from A Spoonfull of Sugar. This week's theme is 'paper piecing'.

I was inspired by Trina's card in the DT gallery using this same stamp set :) I have had this Hanna stamp set for ages now and only used it a few times!! So out it came :0)

The paper is from a DCWV paper stack and the plain cardstock is embossed with the cuttlebug swiss dots folder.

I have made a tall card for a change, I like this layout and have used it quite a lot for this style of card!

Hope you like it, thanks for looking x

The image is called Lily the Fairy and she is a free digital download from PCS to be used for this contest.

Everything on the card (except for the image and gems) is from a past Scrapagogo kit - Jan.2008 actually! There is a challenge over at the Clubhouse to use up all your scraps from your past kits so I shall use this card for the challenge :)

The Sugar Bowl - Challenge #1

I think a lot of you know already!!! but if you have'nt heard! there is now a fantastic challenge blog for lovers of the Sugar Nellie stamp range :0)

Aptly named The Sugar Bowl, there will be challenges and projects to take part in every 2 weeks.

The 1st challenge is a wonderful sketch by Tiets and here is my take on it :)

I have used one of the new Leanne Ellis range, I love this stamp! I was inspired by some artwork I saw on Leanne's blog, so I stamped the image in brown ink on Kraft card and coloured using my prisma's just in brown and pink! I wanted to go for a vintage aged look. To finish I added some little gems and a felt and paper flower embellishment.

All the papers are from a Costco pack and the friendship sentiment is from a Cosmo Cricket kit.

Thanks for looking x
