Get Funky March Challenge

I've not done any card challenges before, but thought I'd give the "Get Funky" March one a go and here's the result. The theme was girly cards and this one is for my mum:



I've used two Funky Hands papers, spotty brown ribbon, pink Bazzill, two pins I've had in my stash for ages and glitter thickers.

There are three lovely free papers and a page of embellishments from Funky Hands for anyone who wants to have a go and you could win a £20 voucher.

It's been a while...

Due to the arrival of my gorgeous son, I've neglected the blog for a while! Harry's now 3 months old and is such a joy.

I have been making more cards than scrapbooking pages recently, including samples for the lovely Kirsty Wiseman's fab new CD, "Colourful Burst of Fanciful Things" - keep an eye out for them on Create & Craft!:

If you are inspired, Kirsty's new CD is available here: http://www.kirstywiseman.com/cds/cds.html and is full of the most wonderful designs, including everything you might need for a cute tea party.

Kirsty will also be on Create and Craft this Saturday (20 March) demonstrating the CD and showing the wonderful card designs everyone has made.

Busy-ness...

A selection of cards...

One of my team left to have a baby and liked penguins!




A funky card using a Studio Calico stamp, a handmade button, rub ones, and patterned paper.




Love this cute design - I think the monster was a template in a magazine and I added some fab striped paper from my Studio Calico kit.




Sometimes simple says it all - rubber stamp, scalloped punch, inked paper and a few bits of bling...




I love this birdie stamp, coupled with an inked chipboard heart with crackle glossy accents - simplicity.

My favourite maze book - combination of Love, Elsie papers, lots of ribbon, stamps, patterned paper and hand doodling - perfect to lose yourself in when making!
