A card for mum

This is the birthday card I have made for Simon's mum (the mark down the length of the ribbon is where the glue hasn't dired - I was too eager to blog it!!)
The stamp is by Penny Black and is called Garden Gossip. I've coloured it with promarkers and cut it out with a nestie (I so love my nesties!)

I'm going to enter this card into 2 challenges. They are:

A gem of a challenge - sketch

Craft your passion - Button up (use buttons)

Hope you like it

Twit twoo

I just love this stamp. This owl is just so cute. It's by Penny Black and is called Nocturne. He is coloured with promarkers.
I'm going to enter this card into the Cute card Thursday challenge where the theme is Tweet and a flutter.

I can't help it, he just makes me smile every time I look at him.

Hope you like it too.

I'd just like to say a big thank you for all your lovely comments. I read them all and I'm so glad you take the time to write to me.

Just a quickie

As the post title says, this is just a quickie from me today. What with work, being ill and one thing and another, I haven't been up to much crafting, so this is a card I made in the summer hols but haven't yet blogged.

I'm going to enter this into Gingersnap creations challenge which is red and black. This is a very simple card and I've used a PEnny Black stamp called fantasy which I embossed in solver.

Hope you like it

Making the most of the weekend

So it's the weekend - hooray!
This card I've made is going to be entered for 3 challenges. They are:
Passion for promarkers - sweet treats
Papertake weekly - sketch
Totally papercrafts challenge - dots

I've used a Penny Black stamp called Sweet Thing which I've coloured with promarkers.

I couldn't get a decent close up of the image for some reason today - not too sure what's happened there. Promise to do better next time!

I really do appreciate all the comments that are made. Some of you have mentioned that I've done a couple of Christmas cards already. I've only done 2. I really can't get in that mode yet although I did buy some Christmas papers today.

Hope you like the card

Under the weather

Oh dear. I'm full of cold and feel awful. I was meant to go and see my friend Alana yesterday, but had to let her down. How bad do I feel. I was in bed by 9.30 last night and feel just as rough today.
Whilst feeling sorry for myself, I did make one card (even tho it took me hours and hours to do through lack of energy). I'm entering this for 2 challenges this week.
A Spoon full of sugar - 3 flowers, 2 buttons, 1 ribbon
Papertake Weekly - 3, 2, 1
The image is from Penny Black and is called Sweet Thing. She has been coloured with promarkers.

Hope you like it,

Ally
