Truly Scrumptious and Stamp Something!!

19.03.2009 by 20 Comments

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

17.03.2009 by 14 Comments

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.
