Mother's Day

A quick Mother's Day card, made with one of the LOTV images from the Cute Cottage Garden Art Pad (Set 19).  The brown card is Early Espresso from SU as is the sentiment stamp and the spotty ribbon.  The patterned paper is from a Carta Bella pad called Giddy Up. I will enter it into the Papertake Weekly challenge.

WOYWW 246

As I couldn't get to sleep tonight, I thought I may as well just get up and join in this week's WOYWW! My desk is reasonably tidy except for the large pile of bits of paper and card I am trying to use up.  The cream card in the centre is what's left after I had to chop off the 'flap' part when I stuck the designer paper on upside down - so I will need to rethink that plan!! The paper bows on the right hand side were made on my new envelope punch board and that black thing under the desk is for putting my feet on as my legs are very short! (I think it's really for typists, but I find it useful too). I have been tidying up my craft room this week (not that you could tell from this photo) but now there is a lot of stuff accumulating on the top of the desk, so maybe by the time I get it all sorted I will feel sleepy enough to go back to bed!  I must go now and see if Julia has the linky thing up yet or I may just have to wait until the morning.

Walk the Plank

I've been trying to use up lots of wee bits and pieces recently and this decoupage sticker was the last one on a sheet that's been on my desk for ages, so I decided to make a birthday card with it.  The card was some left over pieces of kraft card and the paper came from  a Nitwits pad from LOTV.  The label shape was made using  a new punch from SU and the bottom corners rounded.  The oval mount is also a punch from SU.  The Simon Says challenge for this week is 'Let's have a laugh,' so I think I could enter it there.

Birthday cat

I used this Whiff of Joy stamp to make some calendar cards for my craft class ladies, but forgot to take a photo before I posted them all!  So when it was still sitting on my desk, I decided to make a birthday card with it, following the Sketch and Stash challenge for this week. 
The stamp is fairly new as is the Baked Brown sugar card from SU, but the paper is fairly old stash - again from SU, but now long retired.  The sentiment stamp and buttons are also from SU.  The 'knitting' was made using a die, but I'm not sure which company it's from. The image was coloured with Promarkers.
 I can enter this weeks Whiff of Joy challenge as it's Pink, brown and cream and also the Allsorts challenge 'Vintage.'

Get Well Soon

This card was made using a LOTV image, coloured with Promarkers and SU card, paper, ribbon (real red, pool party and crumb cake) and punches.  The layout follows this weeks sketch on the Sketch Saturday challenge.  As the PFP challenge this week is to use ribbon, lace or twine, I will enter it there as well.

WOYWW 242

After seeing Princess Judy's lovely tidy desk (twin version to mine) these last couple of weeks  I was shamed into tidying mine up a bit! I really needed to clear another one of the wee sections in the middle to allow extra space for my ever expanding collection of SU punches that I NEED to have close to hand.  So this is the tidy version this week, just a few wee stamped images and the necessary tools and equipment.  Notice you are unable to see what is sitting on the top of the desk ..... or on the table to the right ..... or on the floor ..... or even on the chair.....!! Just as well I now have a photo to look back at, as I have a feeling it won't stay like this for very long!

Birthday mannequin

I made this card following the layout on the Sketch and Stash challenge.  All of the products used (dies, card, paper, stamps, punches and ribbons)are from SU, using crumb cake, whisper white and pool party colour schemes.
