Cute Card Thursday "New Beginnings!"

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday challenge blog our theme is "New Beginnings!". We want to see your new baby, new home, new job, new car....as long as it celebrates something new.

We are sponsored this week by Merrigan of Bee-Crafty Digital Downloads, we also have a member of her DT Dei joining us this week, and also Amy our Guest DT for the next couple of week....so it is all going on over on the CCT blog....be sure to come over and join us.

For my card I have used one of my Pink Gem Designs stamps and coloured it with Copics using the following colours....

Skin - E000/E00/R20
Hair - YR31
Blanket - BG000/BG10/BG11/BG13
Ducks - YR31

The papers are all Dream Street "Forget me Not" and I have layered them with DCWV cardstock. I have kept the card pretty simple and just used my Nestabilities on the DCWV cardstock to create the frame around the image, and my "Swiss Dot" embossing folder to create texture. I have also used some Fancy Pants ribbon and finally a Craftwork Cards "Congratulations!" sentiment.

Come over and join in the fun with us again this week.

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge "Recipe 1,2,3!"

A super quick post from me this morning as this week is slammin', and I have to "To Do!" List that could be a novel....

This week on the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge Blog we have a recipe theme for you. We want you to use 1 Character, 2 Patterned Papers & 3 Embellishments.

So here is my ATC, I have used one of my new Pink Gem Designs stamps coloured with Copics. The papers are all SassafrasLass "DayDream" and I added 3 pearl gems to the corner.

Tonight is Georgia's Year 2 Leavers Prom at school and I am taking photos to sell the following day. So the Prom finishes at 7.30pm and I have to have over 100 photos printed and back at the school be 9am on Thursday in time for the Leavers Assemby so that the parents can buy copies.....I am so looking forward to Friday afternoon....yay just a couple more days, and on Monday I am having a LIE IN, and a DAY OFF...to craft.

I am almost finished with the Teachers Gifts, which is just as well as time is running out. All I have to do is print a few pics and also add names to some of the photos...so fingers crossed I can get it finished by Friday morning......Plus I need to finish the inside of the cards and also go and buy some wine....

Friday Sketchers - Sketch #59

This week on Friday Sketchers there is a lovely sketch provided by Claudia. I have turned the sketch through 90 desgrees so that it worked better with my main image. The main image is "Thoughtful Sprinkles" from www.pinkgemdesigns.com and I have coloured her with my Copics. The papers are all by PaperTrunk "JellyBean". I have kept it very simple by just adding a sentiment by Craftwork Cards and some Bazzill "Opaline" gems.

Thanks Claudia for a lovely sketch and as always to the DT for their wonderful inspiration.

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Dawny's Sketch

Here is a card I made with last weeks sketch over on Papertake Weekly. For my card I have used one of my new Pink Gem Stamps coloured with Copics. The papers are all by Heidi Grace, and they are gorgeous...a mixtire of flocked, shimmer and regular papers and they are all layered using Core-Dinations cardstock that I have sanded the edges of. I also added a sentiment from http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/ and buttons by Doodlebug & Fancy Pants.

The card is for my hairdresser (she buys some cards from me) to give to her friend who's having a baby girl this month.

Thanks to Dawny for the sketch and the rest of the DT for their inspiration.

I will be back later with another card I made using my new Pink Gem Stamps.
