Die Cut Dreams Challenge Card

Good morning all and hope your keeping warm on this chilly morning. Today I want to show you the card i`m putting forward for the die cut dreams challenge, which is #37 Karens sketch. I used my sugar nellie stamp `April Showers` and coloured her in with my promarkers. Then used different paper scraps and used paper flowers, gems and sentiment `your special day` from my stash. A bit of stitching and punched boarder going down the left, to finish off.

Have a great day, hugs Val xxx

sketch and stash challenge

Well sorry for yet another post today, but thought i`d show you the card i`ve done for the sketch and stash challenge.
and another birthday card I received just this morning. The top card is the sketch and stash card i`m putting forward, using their sketch and using some of the stash papers from daisy bucket, I had left over from the last scrapbook page I posted. The butterflies are peel-offs layed ontop of coloured paper and cut out and I made a mistake with toooo much inking around the blue layered paper, so I added another paper flower using the same daisy bucket papers, a bit of faux stitching to finish off. This card will go into my card box for the cubs, that i`m gradually filling up for them.

My second card is from Jane (bunbun 2) that arrived this morning, what a beautiful card to go with the others.

Birthday cards and scrapbookpage

Good morning everyone and hope you are keeping warm on this cold morning.

Just wanted to show the beautiful cards I received from two of the ladies over at the M.S.E and craftyplace site. The first is a beautifully sewn flower card from Karen (a.k.a Flourgirl ) with a RAK pack of beautiful red paper flowers. The second card was made by Marg, I was so thrilled with these lovely keepsakes and will be going onto my wall of handmade cards that other people have sent me, when they come off the mantelpiece next week.

The Scrapbook page is for my 2008 album, that I have also started. The layout was made using the great layout set up by creative scrappers this week. The papers used were by daisy bucket and the letter and wording `ve had for ages, so i`m not sure where these are from.

Catch you later, hugs Val xxx

Mother`s Day Card

Good Morning everyone and what a bright one this morning. Still a little chilly, but the sun has made an apperance.

Today is my second Mother`s Day card for one of the other mums, but haven`t put this through any challenges yet, as I haven`t got around to sorting which one yet. The papers are from my slowly decreasing pile of big off-cuts, so not quite sure where these are from.

Tomorrow is my birthday, yeah!, so I am planning on having a very relaxing day, while the kids are at school. Mr Postie has already delivered some cards for me from some of my crafting buddies over at the M.S.E site and crafty place.

So I will post these here on wednesday.

Have a great day, catch you all later, hugs Val xxx
