Congratulations card with Pixie Cottage sketch

I have made this card with what I thought was the current sketch at Pixie Cottage Challenge but I am not sure what I was doing but the one that I was looking at is the one from June 2nd. Never mind, it is a great sketch, just not one that I can enter this week.


The papers that I have used are from a papermania pad and tghe image is from Pink Cat Studio and I have cut the swirls with a quickutz die.

I have had all 3 grandchildren to stay this weekend and we have had a great time - just got back from swimming and they are due to home around 3pm this afternoon, so I think it may be a really early night for me tonight.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 56 - Sketch by Michelle O

For our challenge this week at A Spoon Full of Sugar we have a fabulous sketch by our very own Michelle O for you to follow, check it out Here where you can also see what the rest of the DT created this week with this great sketch - thanks Michelle.
I have used one of my favourite stamps this week, from the cats collection at Pink Cat Studio. DP is from K&Co sparkly sweet and flowers are by prima.

I have carried the same papers through to the inside and used another of these great images. Sentiments are by Pink Cat Studios and Stampin Up.

Summer appears to have returned to Inverness today and it is a beautiful day. I have just had a window box of beautiful flowers delivered to outside the window where I sit at work and hey are just beautiful. My office overlooks the Castle at Inverness and the view from here is just lovely - almost makes it a pleasure to be here at work. I really must bring the camera in and take a picture of the view from where I sit.
Have a great week

Basic Grey Challenge #20 and Kimmie's Birthday Challenge

Here is my take on the sketch over at Basic Grey this week.
I have used BG Euphoria for this card. These are not the colours that I would usually pick to work with - hence the reason these were the pages that were left in the pad, but I really like these now that I have finished the card. The stamp is one of my favourites and is from Pink Cat Studios as is the sentiment. Coloured with promarkers, flowers are prima and all embelishments from my stash.

Back of Card

Kimmie is having a birthday celebration week and will have all sorts of challenges and candy throughout the week. Today's challenge is to make a card with purple on it, so I think this card will fit the bill. Pop over to Kimmie's blog to see some really inspirational work and check out her Birthday celebration.

We have no snow here as yet - think we must be about the only part of the country that has none, but we do have some forcast for tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Friday Sketchers Week #5

I needed to make a card for a colleague who is leaving work this week. I have used Kim's sketch which was just perfect.

First Wallet Card

Front of Card

Inside of Card

This is my first attempt at a wallet card. I really enjoyed this one and will certainly be making more of these. Used Pink Cat Studio stamps for main image and also for the sentiments, K&Co. Sparkly Sweet papers and the cat on the inside is one of a pack of 6 that I bought in the US about 2 years ago and never thought that I would use.

One Card - 2 Challenges - Papertake Weekly Challenge and also Daring Cardmakers Challenge

I made this card using a Pink Cat Studio stamp for Papertake Weekly Challenge and then noticed that the challenge for this week on Daring Cardmakers was to make a card with any animal on it.

I used a PinkCat studio stamp for the cat and also the sentiment, papers were Hint of Pink from Dovecraft and prima flowers from Cuddly Buddly.

Hope you like it as much as I do - I will certainly be making more cards with these stamps.
