A quick card I made recntly, using a topper I bought at the craft fair in Belfast. I used kraft card from AnnaMarie craft and paper from Panduro. The ribbon and pearl hearts came from MeiFlower and the sentiment was a LOTV clear stamp, punched out using punches from SU. As this weeks Stampavie challenge is to use kraft, I can enter the card and also enter the Papertake Weekly challenge - 'Anything Goes.'
Lots of cards on my desk this week, as I've been asked to make quite a few recently. Unfortunately I've just the outside of them done - still to stamp a wee verse on the inside and package them up - I find it hard to get round to that bit - the fun is in making the outside bit! 
I've also got a picture of one of our 'new' hen's eggs - they have just started laying and the first couple of eggs were very small and cute. However, as one of the 'old' ones was sick, we had to give them all a treatment which means we can't actually use their eggs now for two weeks :0( It seems such a waste to throw them all in the bin and buy more from the shop.
I have been making up a selection of cards recently for an order and this is one of the Father's Day cards I made, using Bo Bunny papers and a stamp that I don't believed I've used until now! The colouring was done with Promarkers and I followed the layout on this weeks Sketch Saturday.

The wedding invites I've been working on recently have now been sent out in the post, so I think it should be OK to put up a picture. They were made using kraft card, folded up to make a wallet, decorated with ribbon and lace and tied at the top with ribbon in a bow. They were sent through the post like this using large letter stamps and seem to have survived the trip OK. Inside there were four 'labels' with a heart-shaped top and the first one also has a wee brown pearl heart on it.
Another card from my 'to do' list - this time for a baby boy. The Stamp used is a Tilda one from Panduro, the paper comes from a MME pad, called 'Blink of an Eye' and the card and ribbon are Baja Breeze from SU - one of my favourites, though I think its being discontinued. The buttons came from a pack I bought at the Crafty Ribbons stall at the King's Hall last week. For the layout I used this weeks sketch from 'Sketch Saturday' and I can enter the Simon Says challenge as well as its 'Anything Goes' this week.
I haven't had time to make cards for a few weeks now and have been starting to get withdrawal symptoms, so I just decided to take a night off from school work and make a few cards. My sister gave me a list of ones she wanted, so I thought I'd better start there! This one uses a very old Sugar Nellie image and card and paper from SU (Pretty in pink - although it looks peach with my photography). I followed this weeks Friday Sketch Challenge sketch for the layout so I must try to get it linked up before their challenge closes! Colouring was done with Promarkers and the sentiment stamp is by Stampendous inked with a Pretty in pink pen from SU.
Hannah and I had a wee trip to the Craft Show in the Kings Hall, Belfast, yesterday evening. There weren't all that many stalls selling card making stuff or cross stitch, but there seems to have been a big revival of sewing so I bought some nice bits of fabric and some ribbon, buttons, paper and card. I just need to find a few more hours in the day now to get time to make everything I'm planning! Hannah made the wee sugarcraft bear at one of the workshops - I think she was well pleased with it! We called into Dunelm Mill afterwards and bought a few packs of buttons etc - and then stopped off at Friar Tucks on the way home! A good trip all round!
