Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 DT #330

 Hello and welcome to / back to my blog. Today I am  sharing a DT card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. This one is using sketch 330


Here is the sketch designed by Kathie
It was so hot in the craft room last week that quick cards were called for so I had a look in the Hobby House box for a set with a circular topper and the Spring Days kit caught my eye which also had the matching cardstock in the pouch. The pearls are also from the Hobby House. 

Thank you for visiting

Critter Crazy Challenge 112 - Butterflies

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. 

The latest challenge over at Critter Crazy Challenge where anything with a Critter can be used began yesterday and here is my card.


To make my card I used dies from Butterfly Flourish and Butterflies and Dragonfly from Joanna Sheen, Hazels sentiment dies from Julie Hickey Designs and Connecting the Dots nesting dies from Honey Doo Crafts.
The papers are from a First Edition pad Paper Flowers and the butterflies embossing folder came from Embossalicious. Pearls probably came from the Hobby House.
So using lots of vintage stash again.




Do-All Kreatives challenge 115

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am here to share my DT card for the June challenge over at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is Purple/Green or Purple/Blue.

Here is my card


To make my card I used some lilac card which was in my stash whihc came from Craftwork cards I think in 2018 when the pantone colour was ultra-violet, the white card is Stampin' Up.

The papers are from Stampin Up and are leftover from a Paper Haven online Bingo night during Covid. The flowers are also SU Framed Florets which have been coloured with alcohol makers. Lots of Stampin Up on this card. I also decorated the envelope whihc you can probably just see on the photo.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 cards for June

I am here at the end of the month with my cards for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 for June. It has been very hot in the UK since we got back from a trip to Ireland and I have struggled with the heat. 

So here are my cards for sketches 328 and 329

This card for sketch 328 uses an image from Lili of the Valley along with some long neglected papers from Junkitz, paint splodges are Honeydoo Crafts and the black dots are Julie Hickeys glossies.

This card for sketch 329 uses some papers and an image from The Hobby House - Needles and Pins which I think may have been designed by Clare Rowlands of Daisy Mae designs. The sentiment is from the Lazy Daisy stamp set from Which Craft, pearls and ribbon are from stash.

Thank you for your patience with my inability to blog and comment, I must do better lol!
