Truly Scrumptious and Stamp Something!!

Gosh, it seems like AGES since I blogged but it’s only been two days!!! I had a really good hippity hop around blogland today and managed to catch up with most of me faves! We have had the most glorious weather the past few days here on the Wirral so the kids have barely been in the house. As we come in the back door from school they’re straight out through the front and on their bikees and scooters!! It’s lovley to see after what seems like months of grey skies and bitterly cold winds.
For the card I have made tonight I have followed the sketch over at Truly Scrumptious. It’s a great sketch this one, I enjoyed it, lots of scope! As the main colour is green, I am also submitting it over at Stamp Something whose challenge is erm, something GREEN!
Right, I’m off to lie down. My head seems to have gone all wibbly wobbly as if I’m drunk (which I can assure you I’m not!). I think I’ve been too long round the silicone glue!!

A Spoonful of Sugar – # 43 A Little Gem

This weeks challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar is to use gems on your card!! Well, this was not a difficult challenge for me as they appear on the vast majority of my creations anyway!!! On my card I have used black Paper Mania adhesive stones on the punched edge (with my Martha punch of course). I have used one of the new Leanne Ellis stamps from Funky Kits and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. The papers are Pink Petticoat.

We have a lovely Edwin stamp on offer this week from Nutcrafters so have a go at the challenge. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

2 more cards, 2 more challenges!!

Hi everyone. Haven’t had a chance to get on and blog for a couple days and have not had my blopping fix either. We were away up to The Lakes at the weekend and had a fantastic couple of days. The weather was lovely for a change!! I am dying to get round everyones blogs but have only really had time to look at the little thumbnails of everyones work on my blogroll. Will try and get round for a proper visit tomorrow!

This evening I have been playing with Steph’s Papertrey Ink stuff again. The challenge for this fortnight over at A Passion for Papertrey is to make a single layer card but you can add ribbons and embellishments etc. My entry is the square card in the photo made with strips of ribbon (mostly from my Raspberry Ribbons kit) and one of the butterfly stamps. The stamps, card and the brown satin ribbon are all PTI. I’m not 100% sure if this qualifies as a single layer card since I put my image over the top of the ribbon but I’ll enter it anyway, I had fun making it which is what counts (!!). The other card is taken from the sketch at the Raspberry Ribbons Sketch challenge. Again it is using PTI papers and butterfly stamp. On both cards I have stickled the butterflies in orange.

Right, I guess I should get to bed seeing as my eyes are now falling out from tiredness!!!
