A Spoon Full of Sugar - Anything Goes - Challenge 122

I have managed to combine 3 challenges with this card. At A Spoon Full of Sugar this week the theme is "anything goes" so we are looking forward to lots of variety in the entries this week. I have chosen to use an old Whiff of Joy stamp this week - I had forgotten how much I loved this one when it came out. I am entering it at Whiff of Joy challenge this week where they are looking for lots of layers on your cards and the sketch that I have followed is the current one at Friday Sketchers. This was a great sketch which I really enjoyed and I will certainly be using this one again.


The papers are all from Imaginsce Cottage Christmas pad and I have only added a small bit of ribbon and a papermania sentiment, and 3 little gems as I thought that the card was busy enough with all the layers of paper and felt that anymore embelishments would just clutter it completely.

Please do pop on over to the A Spoon Full of Sugar blog Here to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and also to read all about the sponor and prize on offer this week.

Christmas Charlotte - Whiff of Joy Challenge

This weeks challenge was to use red and green which screams out Christmas Card. I have used this cute Charlotte with her cat and I think she is just beautiful in her winter coat. I have used Basic Grey papers again as I am so in love with these at the moment. I am still struggling to get some nice Christmas flowers and have been to the local garden centre where I have managed to find a few of these Christmas Picks that I have now completely taken to pieces and at least I now have some nice poinsettas to use - the only problem is that they are rather big and will not fit all my cards - the search goes on... I have used 2 of the rectangle nestabilities to cut the frame for the image and the ribbon and brads are from my stash. Sentiment is Sugar Nellie.



I only have one more day left before I return to work. I am now fully recovered after my operation, but must admit that I have really enjoyed having this time at home and being able to craft in the afternoons rather that trying to fit it all in in the evenings. Never mind, I suppose I need to get the money from somewhere to feed this craft addiction.

Thanks for looking

Whiff of Joy Challenge #5

This weeks challenge is a fabulous sketch by Heather. I have used Melinda blowing kisses and the sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy. I hve loved using this sketch so much that I decided to make a second card this time using Melinda holding heart. DPs are Basic Grey Euphoria and this is the first time I have used this pad and I am so impressed by these. The scalloped bit was done with one of the new cuttlebug embossing edges and I have cut the excess bits away. Flowers by Prima as usual.




Thanks for looking.

Cute Card Thursday & Whiff of Joy Challenges

The challenge on Cute Card Thursday this week is to use buttons and bows on your creation and I have used this beautiful new Willow with umbrella stamp to make this birthday card, the sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy. I also would like to enter this card on my first Whiff of Joy challenge which was this wonderful layout created by Heather.
