Second post today!

It's obvious I'm on holiday, when I manage to do two posts in one day! This one is the first of six golf themed birthday cards I have been asked to make.  For the layout I used next weeks Sweetstop Sketch - I really like this one, so might use it for one of the other cards as well.  The paper I've had for years - it is double-sided and has a graduation theme on the other side and is called College 101 & Dot Flourish, by The Paper Company.  I recently got a new storage system for my 12 x 12 sheets, so I can see what I've got much easier, and so I'm much more likely to use it! The golf ball is a die cut circle embossed with the dotty embossing folder and shaped slightly and the golf club is a Quickutz die.  The stamp is by Creative Stamping and the image has been lightly coloured and shaded using Promarkers.

Mojo Monday birthday

I followed the Mojo Monday sketch to make this birthday card.  The image is an LOTV diecut square and the kraft card is from Annamarie designs.  The flower was made using a couple of punches and the small doily was made using a die.  I had the Happy Birthday ribbon in my stash for ages and it just matched the card perfectly.

Wedding card

A wedding card using this weeks Sketch and Stash layout and a LOTV diecut square.  The paper is from a 6 x 6 Dovecraft pack, called 'Cupcake Boutique'.  The pink pearl heart came from MeiFlower and I used a SU border punch to make the scalloped edge on the pink piece of card.  The lace is from my stash - I've had it for years - it's a great big roll and I use it sparingly!  The sentiment is a Craftwork Cards one, cut smaller, by using a circle punch.  I can also enter Papertake Weekly as its 'Anything Goes' with an animal theme.

Lavender and lace birthday card

I finally took a bit of time out from housework etc. and did a little bit of colouring with my Promarkers.  Any cards I've made recently have been done in a rush and so I've been   using various toppers and die-cut squares, but its nice to just make a card for the fun of it every now and then.  I used the Sweet Stop sketch for the layout and the 'Lavender and Lace' theme came from this weeks Allsorts challenge - I'd better get it linked up or it will be too late to enter!  The stamp is from LOTV and the darker lavender coloured card is from SU, but the lighter one is just a piece from my scraps pile I'm trying to use up.  The flower was made using a Doohickey die and the lace is from a big long roll in my stash!

Back to making cards this week - a wedding card, using this weeks Sketch and Stash layout - I keep a note of the challenges I would like to do in the diary/notebook.  The thick felt shapes were cut using a Sizzix Bigz die and I intend to use them to make brooches or bookmarkers.  Visit lots of other workdesks by visiting Julia HERE.

Peppa Pig birthday cards

I made these cards for my twin nieces birthdays yesterday - they love Peppa Pig so I had to find some printable designs on the internet - I then just flipped the design for the second card.  The letters were die cut using some really old Quickutz dies - I've certainly got my moneys worth out of these dies! - there is set of upper and lower case, plus numbers - and so it has come in really useful for all sorts of things.  I will enter them into the Simon Says challenge - Anything Goes.  And by the way, there's really nothing wrong with your eyesight - its just my usual bad photography making it look all blurry!

Owl birthday card

I'm still on an owl theme - but with a birthday card this time.  Winnie owl is a digital image, cut with Nestabilities.  The floral paper is from a retired SU designer pack and the pink card is also retired SU.  The knitting was made using a die (can't remember the manufacturer) and the 'happy birthday' stamp and oval puches are all from SU. The kraft card is from Annamarie designs.  Simon Says challenge is 'Anything goes' this week, so I'll enter it there. The CCT challenge is 'Fly like a bird' and although Winnie isn't actually flying at the moment, she definitely IS a bird, so I think it would be OK to enter it there as well!
