Pink & Green...

...should never be seen - I think they go really well together!!
Bex challenged us to use pink & green as the main colour base

A Template

Sue on the JB forum gave us a sketch to play with - here's my take on it














It looks a bit wonky as I tucked the lace behind the paper - it looked better when it was upright, honest!!

Crafty Ribbons

I was lucky enough to receive some free gorgeous ribbons from Crafty Ribbons & the catch - to make some sample cards with a chocolate theme for them!!

Here's my first - I used Bex's sketch template for this one

Sassy Crafts Project Lift Competition

Emma's set a competition on Just Bex

Project lift (yes another ) but you get to choose which project you would like to lift from the Sassy Crafts Blog.

Here's my entry:

I've used the card template from Sian's gorgeous Magnolia card.

Stamping Bella image and the papers are from a kit from Sarah's Cards

Page Plans Sketches #12 / JB Flower Power

I made this card using Lesli's sketch from Page Plans

It also qualifies for Sue's challenge on the Just Bex Forum ;-)

OK ladies a REALLY easy challenge for this wet Wednesday I need a card with FLOWERS couldn't be easier here you go

PPs are Basic Grey's Infuse, stamp from Stamps Away

Off for a riverside walk & pub lunch with hubby in a mo - hopefully the rain will hold off!!

Sassy Crafts Dovecraft Competition

Sassy Crafts Competition

Your challenge is to make a craft project (it can be a card, LO or anything else you fancy) using at least 3 Dovecraft products. Now this will be real easy as they make papers, brads, eyelets, stamps and many many more.

Here's my entry, it's a really c**p scan, the pp that I've used for the squares is a much richer colour but where the snowflakes are raised they look washed out.

I used 3 different papers from Dovecrafts Christmas Blues pack, Neon alphabet and Cuttlebug snowflakes.

It's also a cardlift from http://justbex.co.uk/

Please don't think I'm really organised as it's a Christmas card, I'll probably make the rest on Xmas eve!!

Get Stuck in

On the Just Bex forum http://justbex.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php we were challenged to use some of our new stash!!

Now there's no excuses for most of you for this challenge Lots of you have been mentioning having this weekend off and soooooo many of you have been boasting on here about all the new stash you've been buying lately So this challenge should be quite simple really, although maybe not for some of you paper strokers.........you know who you are !!!! Simply make anything, but it has to be using your most recent stash.....that means cutting into those new papers girlsNow there's no excuses for most of you for this challenge

Here's what I came up with, the stamp is a Crafty Individuals which came from http://www.creativetreasures.co.uk/ and the paper is Basic Grey's Infuse that I bought from a craft shop on Saturday

Had a lovely weekend, met up with a friend and her son & we were all blown along the seafront at Millford which gave us a good excuse for hot chocolate and chips afterwards!!

Charlotte was invited to a friends party on Sunday at a playcentre so we bought Jamie a ticket & he played too - the only downside was that it started at 10am and was half an hours drive away, not good for the morning that the clocks go forward!!

Shape Shifters

My 1st card challenge of the year was from the Just Bex forum http://justbex.co.uk/

Shape Shifters

This is all about using the shapes you are given somewhere on your card. They can be any size but you MUST use all the shapes somewhere. You can add additional embellishments etc as much as you like x So the shapes you have to incorporate into your card are:

Here's my card:

Stamped image is Imeldabella from http://www.stampingbella.com/ the papers came in a swap, the flowers are primas and the brads from http://www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk/eshop/

This is my 1st challenge of many!!
