CASE-ing Christmas #9 Challenge

Hi There

First an apology for being late posing this entry, we have all had the lergie this week and my youngest has had a high temperature and nights terrors so I have fallen a bit behind with, well everything!!

This week at CASE-ing Christmas we are CASE-ing the talented DarenY's card. I have gone with the layout and rotated it. for the sentiment I used a cut apart sheet from Teresa Collins, as I don't have many Christmas pics to scrapbook I thought I would put this paper to good use on a card. I added some washi tape and a border strip from another piece of Teresa Collins paper and job done!

Thanks for looking, Lorry :o) xx

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #7 + Blog Candy

Hi There

It's time for another challenge over at CASE-ing Christmas, this time the inspiration comes from the talented Donna. Come and join us for a chance to win some fab blog candy.

I went with a landscape version of the layout plus the colour scheme. The sentiment is from the Most Wonderful set by Clearly Besotted and the flowers are from the Everything Eleanor set by Stampin' Up!, I added some pattern paper and ribbon from my stash, a bit of bling and it was done.

Two Card Tuesday #1

Hi There

I have decided to set myself some challenges so I make more cards and blog more. Not sure if it will work, life normally gets in the way of best made plans but, here goes!

To start off I thought I would do a Two Card Tuesday. For this I set myself the challenge to make 2 cards, one for a girlie and one for a blokie, but use the same sketch, just change up the colour combo, pattern papers etc. I should have a stash of 'hard to make for blokie' cards in no time!?!

Thanks for looking

And here is the blokie one, although it could work for a teen?

House of Cards February Challenge – Love

Hi There

I'm back with another challenge over at House of Card. The theme this month is Love .

For this card I used a stamp set I got a few months ago which came free with the magazine Get Stamping. I was drawn to the retro tattoo style of the wings on the heart and thought it would look good as a pic in a frame, the background was clear embossed to make the aqua card stock look like flock wallpaper to keep it retro.
