An old PTI favourite.

There’s a feeling of nostalgia going on over at Nichole Heady’s blog today.  All of the DT are sharing their favourite creations from the past year and so to join in the fun here is mine.

You can see the original post HERE – I made this card after being inspired by a tag from some clothes I bought for my daughter from John Lewis!!!

Right, I have a productive afternoon lined up today – my sister, brother and his fiance are all over to celebrate my brother turning 30  – god I feel old – so the house needs a blitz!  Have a good weekend where ever you are.

Hugs,

Passion for Papertrey – Inspiration.

A new challenge has been set at A Passion for Papertrey today and Kate has given us a scrummy photo to take our inspiration from.

How much do you want to eat those cookies??  Well anyway, as soon as I saw the picture I thought of my Heart Prints stamp set and the Simple Valentine paper collection.  And here’s what I came up with:

Card Details
I {heart} U
Stamps: Heart Prints, Banner Builder
Ink: Pure Poppy, Hibiscus Burst
Cardstock: True Black
Patterned Paper: Simple Valentine
Ribbon: Hibiscus Burst
Accesories: 1 3/4 ” circle punch, 

I hope you can pop by the blog and see what Kate and Aimes have created and join in the challenge too.

Passion for Promarkers – All You Need is Love.

Aw, just what we all need to pick us up after the depressing come down that is post-christmas.  A little bit of love and romance to brighten our day!

Our new challenge at Passion For ProMarkers this week is LURVE!  I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to make a Valentines card for hubby – if I don’t I will NEVER get round to it.  After me struggling to use the large rose stamp from my Papertrey Ink YOF:Roses setamp set, here I am with my second card in as many days!  This time I took the plunge and coloured it (rather than bottling out and paper piecing it as in the last post – see below!!).  I used all the reds in my arsenal and actually love how it turned out.

Our sponsor this week is Digi Stamp Boutique

Hope you can pop by the blog and have a go!
