Donkey Smiles for Michelle

Here is my creation for the card drive for Michelle Oatman who recently had a bad accident which you can read about here.  You can take part here.

I used the colours from this weeks challenge at the colour throwdown, which incidently, have a fabulous array of prizes on offer this week!

Have a great day! Got a second card still drying, it'll be up later!

Clean & Simple Butterflies

Today's card uses the sketch at Clean & Simple and the colours are from the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World.

To start with I really wasn't keen on this card.  Then I added the little scalloped strip of pink and it completely changed the card! Now I love it, still a bit too clean and simple for me [no layers or stitching - I can see myself almost hyperventilating - LOL!!!].  I used my new embossing folder which I just love!


Here is a side view:

And here is the picture that inspired the colours, I think my colour print cartridge must have been going when I printed this as my printed one the blue vase was more of a pale blue, the cup was peach and the background was grey! Ooops!!  Oh well......
Have a lovely day!

TuTu Fun

Morning all.  Today's card is for a sweet little girl!  I've used the sketch challenge from Cas-tastic.  I just rotated it 90 degrees.  The ballerina image is from StampingBella - I think it is one of Lori Boyd's images.  I have paper pieced the dress, shoes and bow.


Here is a close up of the paper piecing.

I'll be submitting this for the Etsy Inspired Challenge, taking inspiration from these two photos at kimmieprout's etsy shop.  I'll also be submitting it for the PollyCraft challenge which was pinkalicious.

Well have a fab day.

Some New Designs....

I have been busy finishing up a card this evening but alas now the light has gone so the pictures will have to wait until tomorrow! 

So instead I thought I'd share with you a couple of t-shirt designs I put together a couple of weeks ago for my friend Amna's little girl, Noor.  I just LOVED the way the crown turned out!




Such pretty little girls stuff!!  I'll be back tomorrow with the card.  Have a good day!

Owl Stack

Just a quick post today to share a card made using this cute free image from LilyBoo.  I thought it was supercute so had to make a card with it!  The colours I picked were actually based on some patterned paper I was going to use as background but then decided it was too busy!  That gorgeous ribbon is from Practicing Creativity.  I used the sketch from CPS.

Here is the card:
And a slightly closer up version:
That's it for now - see ya!
