Kitten in Roses

Hi Everyone!

Where do these days go to? I think I'm too busy buying crafty stuff and need to spend more time using it ha! ha!

Anyway, I thought you'd like to see one of my Joanna Sheen Design Team samples using the Furry Friends CD. This image of the kitten amongst the roses is lovely so I decided to mimic that by matting it onto Papermania's Henbury Lane papers which has lovely sparkly pink roses on. I added Pearl Pen 'pearls' before finishing it off with butterflies cut from the background paper. Hope you like it. I'd like to enter it into the Allsorts Challenge which this week is 'Free and Easy' and Papertake Weekly's 'Anything Goes' challenge.

Springtime Gift card Holder

Evening Everyone!

Tonight I'd like to share a little project with you that I hope to enter in the 'By the Cute and Girly' Springtime Challenge for March. I made a gift card holder and envelope using Papermania's lovely Henbury Lane papers as I thought the flowers, colours and birds looked quite springlike. The little card opens up to reveal a place to pop your gift card and write your sentiment and the envelope is held together with a belly band decorated with flower stickers from the range.

Once I'd sussed out the dimensions it was pretty simple to make and makes a simple gift card look a bit more 'fancy'! Hope you like it!

Thanks for looking and enjoy the rest of your evening!

Bye for now

Christmas Mice 3

As a change from the red and green colour scheme I went all frosty on my next card with a blue and silver theme using plenty of embossed mirri card accented with punched snowflakes and gems. I love these House Mouse christmas cards and its been really hard to part with them ha! ha! - I even made two of this design but there are only so many Christmas cards you can send to yourself! (only kidding.)

I would like to enter this this card in the Papertake Weekly sketch challenge and the ABC Challenge which this week is Ice and Snow and Cute Card Thursday's Blue theme.

More later.
