We are sailing!

I never get tired of this little set from Clearly Besotted – it is so easy to use and is perfect for little boys birthday cards.  I actually have been meaning to make a little girl pirate ship for a while – must get round to that!!!  I made this for one of my nephews who recently turned 6 (if you couldn’t guess!!).

We are off up to the Lakes this week whilst the kids are off school for half term.  Hope the weather improves though – it’s meant to be summer for goodness’ sake!!!

Hugs,

Wow – I made a purple card!!!

Hey there – popping by to share the card I made for the last Cas(e) this Sketch challenge.  I love a good sketch to the mojo firing!  I have to say though – purple is the colour I use the LEAST but I actually am really loving it right now!  This is my take on the sketch (I flipped it 90 degrees).  As is often the case I didn’t get time to link it up but I enjoyed this design and will use it again!!

And here is the sketch:

This card uses a few different Clearly Besotted sets (thumbnail links below) – the Happy Days set is out of stock but is due back in in a couple of weeks so don’t worry!!

Thanks for stopping by xxx
