New babies

Lost my mojo today....has anyone seen it? Only managed to do these two cards and they took ages.... :(

Petal Pizzazz

And here are some cards I've been meaning to do with my retired Petal Pizzazz set for a long while. Well that's all for today, maybe I'll have more for you tomorrow!!

Vintage All a Flutter

Here are some vintage cards that I made using the Stampin' Up Very Vintage wheel, the Vintage Vogue stamp set and the All A Flutter butterfly stamp. Used the lovely new colours Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberyy with some Cameo Coral!

Petal Patch Papers

I normally show my cards that I've made for the week, to my friends at our card class on Wednesday. However, this week I sold lots of them on ebay before I've even a chance to show them. So girls here they are.... These were some retired US Stampin' Up papers - Petal Patch, which use Bashful Blue, Blush Blossom, Certainly Celery and Close to Cocoa, that I managed to acquire from ebay....hope you like them...

Trendy Trees

A few cards I made today using Stampin' Up Trendy Trees stamps and the new Sweet Pea Paper stack!

Butterfly Birthday

I made this easel card for a friend's birthday tomorrow, who likes flamboyant and glitzy. The colours I realise matched the challenge at Just Add Ink (almost)and so I'm entering it for that. I have used Old Olive instead of Kiwi Kiss and Pink Passion instead of Rich Razzleberry and added Pretty in Pink. So I hope it still qualifies!!

Whimsical Wings

I recently got the Whimsical Wings Hostess Set from Stampin' Up for our card group and decided to make some cards with it, particularly with the challenge (which I notice I've missed the deadline for again!!) at Just Scraps in mind which was "Butterflies, Flowers and Birds. I think I have covered all the requirements with this little lot! I came up with various ideas and on this first one I thought "Who says the ribbon has to be horizontal or vertical?" So I stepped out of the box and and laid it diagonally! I think it looks great!




This watering can charm matched this above card 's colour scheme perfectly!


And these butterflies which I got free with a magazine at least a year ago... matched this card beautifully! By the way, I have used a scrap of wallpaper as my grass on this card!!

Clean and Simple

The challenge at Sweet Stampin this week is "Clean and Simple". Now This is really out of the box for me as my cards usually are covered with brads, buttons, ribbon or flowers. So I had to at least add a little ribbon even if it was white!! LOL You can't see it very well but the white card is embossed!!

Scrapmaster's Paradise 52

This was the colour combination at Scrapmaster's Paradise this week and I'm posting my little lot early for a change..well when my husband lets me upload...cos it disrupts his xbox live game!! LOL... been given the all clear about an hour later!!....go...go..go..

Doodling with Sweet Stampin

The challenge at Sweet Stampin last week was "Doodling" which I took to mean writing in your own handwriting on a card. I know I've missed the deadline ..again.. but the linky is still open so I thought I'd post my two cards anyway!!

A Handful of cards for Color Throwdown 97

Loved this colour combo at Color Throwdown and so I made several!! And here they are...

Penny Black Sketch

Penny Black set this rather complicated sketch this week, quite a challenge and I'm really pleased with the result.

Curtain Call 34

These were the gorgeous colours set at Curtain Call this week. I didn't have Dusty Durango, so I used Really Rust instead.

Summer Strawberries

This was the sketch at Just Magnolia this week, which I felt I could really go to town on!!

And this the card I made, I decided to go with strawberries, as I was at my friend Di's yesterday and she offered us some fresh strawberries she had picked from her gorgeous garden!!

Just Primary Rosie Posy

Th challenge at Just Scraps this week was to use the primary colours which I combined with Lili of the Valley's sketch.
