bits & pices

I have had a busy few days.
Got a few cards done, hope you don't
mind me posting them all at once.
I am entering several challenges with them too.

First one is a house mouse sketch card.
The papers are beautiful.
It was hard to cut the one with the text on it !
I used a glue pen to add some glamour dust
to the word love, it is going in the post
to some one special soon. x

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My pal Mairi has sadly lost her fantastic wee dog Ben
he was an important wee man to both Mairi
and her mum, so I made them matching cards.

I kept them simple and non fussy.
The black card has the same paw print stamped
on with versa mark.
I used silver embossing on one paw print only.

Inside I printed my message
which included this text.

It's hard when you loose a much loved
furry family member.

This card is made using Sammi's dove image
that she designed just for me for my Birthday!
How cool is that!!!

I am entering it in ABC challenge
who want it to be orderly.
So that means if you have one bit of ribbon
you must balance it with another one.
I am also entering it on A spoonful of sugar
who want a celebration card.
what better celebration than a marriage.

I love these pair of love birds!
I have layered them on black card
and put that on red paper I embossed.

My time to craft are looking for love & marriage
so thats just perfect for this card !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As you know I am loving this flower stamp
very much just now, I am trying to make my
sister several cards with her fave Love is passage.

So I came up with this......
I stamped the flower using brown stazon,
coloured with distressing inks.
Used the same stayzon to stamp
the love is onto acetate.
Held it in place with brads.

The flowers are green vellum
with wee pearls in the centre.

I am entering it in Once stop challenge as effort
of a vintage card. Vintage is not my normal
at all, I am not sure it is vintage enough.

so that's me, a mixture of friendship, love,
sadness, and birthday wishes....

hope you are well.
much love teen xxx

sent with love

This is a wallet with some stamped images for a swap with a lovely friend.
I need to get them in the post to someone on Monday.

It is also the only thing I have finished today!


It dose however fill requirements for a few challenges....
hopefully 6 of them!!!!



One stop Craft Challenge
are looking for buttons & bows.
Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge
are looking for an animal element.
My Time to Craft
are looking for A little bit of sunshine.
it is a lovely sunny yellow with some summery orange.
A spoonful of sugar is looking for
Love is in the air,
well as you can see this wee mouse is playing
he loves me, he loves me not with his flower.
Am I pushing my luck with that one?
It is made using the fab sketch on
Sketch & Stash.
The new stash on my card is the swirl stamps, the leaf stamps,
the beautiful yellow ribbon I layered
over pearl card so it showed up more against the yellow card.
The two different yellow brads are also new.
And lastly.....ABC Challenge are looking for
Y is for Yesteryear.
they wanted you to look out one of the first stamps you ever bought.
This Hobby Arts stamps were among the first.

I must admit, until I started using stamps at Sally's card class class.
I didn't like stamping at all, I was so bad at it.
And now I have used this stamp, I remember who fiddly it is to colour!
Probably one of the reasons it dosen't come out much!


This is the layering on the back.
It's my handmade stamp
that my lovely talented friend Sammi made me!!!
