And another one...

I enjoyed the layer challenge the other day and as I had yet more die cuts, I used them to create another simple Thank You card. Hoping to have a pile ready in time for Christmas!

• Paper from Basic Grey


• Brad from Sassafras


• Stamp from Dovecraft


• Flower petals from Craft Robo template

365 Cards - Day 215 - Lovely Layers

• White A5 card base


• Papers from Basci Grey


• Brad from Sassafras


• Papermania stamped greeting


• Yellow flowers cut from CraftRobo file and inked

Why don't my scraps look like this?

Kirsty Wiseman has done it again and made a fab scrap page out of scraps! I can barely manage a card, but she has pulled off a lovely scrapbook page and a card.

365 Cards Challenge - Day 193 - Geography

The challenge on day 193 was to make some cards inspired by a holiday destination. I've chosen the Botanic Gardens in Wales, hence the flower inspiration. Why stop at one card when you can have 3:

• Bazzill Card


• Ribbon from stash


• Die cut flowers from old QVC kit


• Giant brads from Papermania


• Chipboard from Autumn Leaves


• Bling from stash


• Stamped sentiments (Papermania I think)

Here's the link to the challenge:

365 Cards Challenge - Day 187 - Past/Present/Future

When today's challenge was to use the following...

1. Pick an item/technique/tool from the past that you haven't used in a while



2. Use your favorite color at present



3. Use a theme that is relevant in your life in the near future (a holiday or upcoming event)

3. Theme is gardening as I am spending time trying to sort out the garden

Very simple this one:

Love is in the air...

We are going to a wedding of one of my best friends tomorrow and I can't wait to see how the menu's, favours and name cards that I made turned out. The invites went out a while ago and I can't say that I am sad to see the back of these little blighters:

I {heart} retro cars - Freebie image alert

These images from The Hamndmade home are as cute as can be and a real help for man-cards, which I always find hard.

Love the Orange one in the middle. Here's the link if you want to download a copy:
