Creeper Thursday


Give Some Attitude

My new Creeper Crew Thursday arrived in the mail last week from TGF so I just had to use her.  I came up with this birthday card with attitude.  I am looking forward to using Thursday on so many projects in the future she is such a cool chick!

Materials Used; TGF's CC Thursday and sentiment stamps, Copic Caio, SU Kraft, Pink Passion and Melon Moss card stocks, Diamond Glaze (Thursdays eyes, shoes & buttons), ribbon and stickers from my stash pile.

Challenges entered;

The Crazy Challenge; All About Birthdays

Ribbons and Flowers


Ribbon Challenge

Better late than never, this is my entry for Maire's Ribbons and Bows Monday Mania challenge at Club Anya.  I used my new Fleur Anya who arrived in a timely manner in my letterbox this week along with CC Thursday who's is on a card that I will post soon.

I wanted to make a simple card with Fleur so that she really popped on the card.  I used some strands of satin ribbon behind her to match the colours in the DP.  I quite like how this card has turned out considering how simple the layout is.

Material Used; Fleur Anya from TGF, sentiment stamp from SU, Copic Caio, SU Kraft and Melon Mambo card stock, My Memories DP, satin ribbons, Kindy Glitz, Kiaser rhinestones.

A Note of Thanks


Patience is a Virtue

For the last two weeks at work I have been in a training group getting some much needed upskilling for our new position.  The lovely lady who has been taking us through our new skills has the patience of a saint, so I have made this card for her from all of us.

Inspiration has come from the latest challenge at Meljens Designs, make an easel card,  and I have used one of her new releases; Penpal Mouse, which is just perfect for a thank you card, isn't he the cutest!  The sentiment is one I made up on the spot to go with him.

Material Used; Digi from Meljens Designs, Copic Caio markers, SU cardstock Basic Gray, Pixie Pink, Pretty in Pink, DP from Kaiser Craft Christmas Carnival Collection, plain notepad paper, binder punch, SU Fire Square rhinestone brads, Kaiser ribbon and flower from my stash pile.

Flash your FREEBIES! Part Two

think GREEN!
Part two of Pollycraft's Flash your Freebies challenge was to use the free digi we received by email and to think GREEN!  Awww! This pair of turtles are just adorable...

I am so excited, because now that I have made this card all I need to do is add the link and I will get a choice of any digi FREE from Pollycraft's shop, thanks to the wonderful generosity of Paula, how sweet a deal is that?

I am not to sure of my choice of colour, now that I look at the photo, for the little blue bird sitting on the fence (another free digi from Pollycraft) but overall I am happy with the way the rest of the card turned out.

Materials Used: digis from Pollycraft Designs, Copic Ciao, SU Old Olive card stock, DP from Kaiser Hey Birdie collection, Kaiser paper flowers, SU Certainly Celery ribbon, green brads from my stash pile.
