Pink blossom Birthday card

I went to another lovely craft evening last week and made this card. I finished it off with a big pink button. I'm going to enter it in the Paper Players challenge 59 this week: "get your pink ON". I know there's a bit of green in there but it does also uses 3 pinks, so I hope it counts!

A La Card Monkey 69: guest designer!

I'm one of the guest designers today on A la Card Monkey for this sketch I entered last week. The card above is for the following sketch:

I hope you like it!

Funky box (and cards)

Yet more fun was had at last week's craft evening: we made this v.cute little box (i must use something to show scale-SU stamps and dies have a habit of appearing huge from photos, whereas in reality they are quite dinky!)

Here's a pic of my lovely Top Note box from the side...





And the cards...Rich Razzleberry Birthday Wishes

Pink Ladies Meet Up

Just found my photos from a really great event I went to a few weeks ago: The pink ladies Quarterly meet up, organised by Michelle Last. We made this amazing card box and 4 cards to match (still haven't finished these yet!!) But you can see what they are meant to look like here on the designer Gill's blog (stunning huh?!)
And because i'm feeling lazy, i'll link to Michelle's post about the day (with more piccies)

I'm still loving how professional this box looks! The DSP paper we used was Nature Walk.

Handmade Flower

Check out this labour of love! I found out about this technique at a recent Pink Ladies Quarterly crop/meet up. A lady was showing us how to do it on one of the inspiration tables.
I wanted to try it out and this week's Friday MashUp! has given me the perfect opportunity-"handmade flower or flowers" 


It started out as lots of little petals made from the Owl Punch (with their feet cut off!)

Paper Pals Paper Piercing

I've had quite a productive weekend-so here's another creation: I decided to use up some scraps I had lying about and made this little card topper. I then did a little "poking" round the edge for a bit more interest. I wasn't being too exact (as the corners don't really match up!) but I still like the effect.
PPA #104 gave me the idea as their challenge this week.
