Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Post




I have just joined the Design Team at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges and this is my first card for them. Our theme this week is Winter/Christmas.

I have used Christmas Decor from one of our sponsors A Random Fan, a new company to me but I do like this sweet penguin image which I had to play with and had great fun with flock glitter and flower soft which just about shows up on the photo.
I used a scallop circle from Whichcraft to make my card, dies are Spellbinders and Britannia and an X-cut snowflake punch came out of the box too.
Papers are Nitwits Snow Princess.
Coloured with Copic and Sakura pens.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

Freshly Brewed at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Would you believe it we are at sketch 99 at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this week and here it is


and here is the card I made 



I think that I am in a bit of a bug and flower mode at the moment as I chose Lazy Day Bug from our sponsor Fresh Brewed Designs as the image to use, I've paired it with some Echo Park Summer Days papers, I am obviously not ready to let those summer days go yet.

We do hope that you can play along with us this fortnight and Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 .
Please hop over to the blog nd see what the rest of the Design team came up with.

Anniversaries at Allsorts



Here is a silver wedding card that I made earlier this year but have never blogged.


Allsorts have an anniversary theme this week so I thought that I would enter it over there.

Letters, frame, sentiment and base card are Craftwork Cards
Papers are Lili of the Valley
Ribbon is from the Cake shop
Sparklies are from my stash.

Thank you for visiting

Daisies and A Day for Daisies


I'm a little late with my card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday this week.
 Shhh don't tell the boss but I ended up printing my image off at work because my laptop was mis-behaving, touch wood it's behaving just now. Anyway here I am.

This week we are sponsored by A Day for Daisies and I have used the image Potted Gerbera Daisies, I do like gerberas but have to admit to a little artistic licence as I don't think that I have ever seen a purple one.

Here is Sallys lovely sketch


I have to admit that I'm not usually keen on a diamond shape focal point but having used my Labels dies on this one I think I might be converted and may have to revisit some older sketches soon.

Why not give it a try at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2
