My Paper World Sketch #7 - Another One!

Thought I'd do another card for this Sketch. The card is Pearlescent so doesn't photograph too well.

The papers are from Christine Beasley's Classic Moments Kit available from Digital Scrapbook Pages. The stamp is from Woodware's Baby Zone Clear stamps which I coloured using Pastel Crystal Laquers.

My Paper World Sketch #7

Here's my take on this week's sketch. I think I may just attempt another one as I'm not 100% happy with this one.

The papers that I used come from Amanda Thorderson's Head Over Heels Kit available from Digital Scrapbook Pages. The Flower Image was actually cut out of one of the Backing Papers in the kit, I then drew in a stem with my Hunters Green Sakura gel pen. The Butterfly is a wooden button which I painted with Twinkling H2O's to match the Card Stock that I used for the Matting of the image.

Neice's Birthday Card

I went surfing the other day looking for inspiration for a Niece's card that I had to make. I found this tutorial on making a Carousel Notes Purse Book and just knew straight away that was the one! Click here to see the Tutorial, obviously mines not as good as Jan's but there you are. I must say I really enjoyed doing this project and will definitely be doing more.


Here is the Front of the Book and the Matching Box that I made, the Ribbon has a Velcro clasp so it doesn't need to be untied.




I used Eugenia Bacon's Floral Fling Kit for the Backing Papers and a Frame from her Ecstatic Sunshine Add-on Designer Sampler from Digital Scrapbook Pages. The Dragonfly is a stamp from Elusive Images Damask Squares Themeplate. The Doodle Frame is from Kirsten's Birthday Doodles kit available from Daisie Company.

Wendy`s Sketch Challenge 1

I've been really busy this week, done quite a few cards but it's finding the time to the take photo's, crop and save them, and then post.

Here's my First catchup, Wendy invited me to try her 1st Sketch, I made the card almost immediately. Here's my take and looking forward to the next one.

I used two papers from Kathryn Estry's Bodacious Borders and Bears Kit available from Digital Scrapbook pages. I also used some Ribbon, Crystal stickers, a flower and button, the Stamp is one of my new Stamps Away Individual stamps.

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Blue and Green Should Never Be Seen!

Hi Everyone, I'm back! I've been really busy with Work for the last couple of Months and will still be busy till the End of April. I'll be posting and taking part in challenges again but not as often as I was.
What a great Challenge to kick off with. I love this colour combination, it's really super and I think that originally the rule applied to Darker shades of Blue and Green.

I used these really fab papers from Eugenia Bacon's "Spring Song" collection available from Digital Scrapbook Pages, added some Rik-Rak Ribbon and Buttons along with a Rub-on Sentiment. I also made a matching insert using the same font as the Rub-on.
