Friday Sketchers

Thought I would pop over and see what their sketch was like today. I don't enter my cards for the challenge though but if you would like to have a go pop over to their blog here
The image was sent to me from my friend Tracy some time ago and although I coloured it in at the time I hadn't got round to making a card with it.



I made another patriotic father's day card last night, this time using an image that was on a set of stamps from Papermania and another random birthday card using up some odd bits of pp I had left over......better than putting them in the bin I say !





Back to some more crafting now. I still need to bag a couple of dozen cards up before tomorrow morning, ready for the school fayre in the afternoon.So it might be a better idea if I did those first I think !


I found these chipboard teachers bits and the tag while I was looking for something entirly different. Can't even remember when or where I got them from to be honest but might as well put them to good use, so another teacher thank you card.

Mickey Birthday Cards

A fellow scrapper on UKS asked me to make her two Mickey birthday cards for her Mickey mad little nephew at the end of last week.
This is what I came up with.I only hope that Royal Mail has been kind enought to deliver them today. I couldn't post them earlier than yesterday as it was bank holiday on Monday, so no collections.

New Digi Stamp

I bought some New Digi Squiggle Stamps last week and this is the first image I've coloured in from one of the three I bought. I think he's so cute and great for a childs card. My friend Tracy is on the design team and it's her turn this week to do the challenge. She has a lovely sketch on her blog and a fabby price for the lucky winner. Do pop over and have a look.




I also made a couple of cards out of Kraft card stock last night too. I've seen so many cards made with Kraft that I thought I'd give it a go. It looks so effective with the right colours I think. The " for you" card is a lift of a card I saw while I was looking through Two Peas Gallery and I'm ashamed to say I can't remember who it was now. It was made from a Hero Arts Stamp on there but I don't have the stamp so I improvised !




I had the nestability mat already cut out from the above card so to use it up I quickly made this wedding card....I really like this, there's something quite quirky about it :)




I made this one last week for my friend Tracy. It was her birthday on Monday but I was late and posted it on Saturday morning completely forgetting that it was a bank holiday week-end. I just hope she got it on Tuesday !

A Card too.

I forgot about this one !! Made this last night when I found a dinosaur on the Paper Dolls cart.I lifted this idea from one of the new carts that are due out soon called Elegant Cakes. There's some lovely images on the cart which is coming out for the new cake cricut but the images ( lots of flourishes amongst a lot of others) will also be ideal for papercraft, be it scrapbooking or card making

Just Cards today

Had bits of paper left over from the last LO to clear away and I also found a rocket on the Indie Art Cricut Cart while was looking for another image. I've had this cart so long and I was quite surprised at what was on it as I think I've only ever used it the once. I get a bit stuck for boys birthday cards and the left over paper suited this so well.
Another couple of female cards to put into stock. I had a delivery of three glimmer mist bottles this morning so I thought I would try them out on one of them. Was quite pleased with the results. I laid a punched butterfly and used it as a mask to get the top butterfly image. You can't see it that well in the photo but the card has a nice glimmer sheen to it.
Third card was from left over pp from one of the retreat classes and just added a few primas to finish it off.

Childrens cards

Still at it, it was childrens cards yesterday !
Here are a few for you to look at :






Think I'll make one or two, maybe a few more, wedding cards today !!
