More Shabby Chic and Butterflies

Only me... AGAIN! I did say that I had been busy.... 

So one more to still make today and then we will be finished for the day... the rest will be done on Monday/Tuesday for delivery on Wednesday! Ok so I do have a few other small bits to do... but they will take me an hour or so... 

So I'm here to share the card i have made for my Mother In Law from hubby and I... I have to say I become completely stumped with making cards for the family, al least if someone else says that want a card with xx on it, you can do it, just never know what to make!!! 

Yes... I went back to the old faithful Stitch Bear Shabby Chic paper! I love it, I can't get enough of it!!! and YES the trademark butterflies with rhinestones. But sometimes staying in the comfort zone is whats best... well for me! LOL!

Im not going to rant on about how much I LOVE this punch again! 

I may try to find a new style one... If you have any suggestions please let me know! 

I used the paper on the inside of the card too, once again changed the opacity of it, and then added another lovely verse from a website! 

Well I still need to do dinner, get kids to bed, make some more cards and I may be trying something new tonight... If I have time and it works pop back... Im quite excited about what I'm going to do... Im picturing it in my head already!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

My Mums Craft Shop - Spring Colours

Simon Says Stamp - Special Girl

Shabby Chic - Sorry Your leaving

Morning all! Whooo I have finally found five minuets to sit down and blog... Need to get on with DT stuff today, will be so happy once i catch up with what needs to be done! I hate being so far behind!! 

Had a call from a  friend mid weeks, she always comes to me for her cards, It was so nice to chat to her as I haven't seen her since christmas! She asked me to make a 'Sorry You're Leaving' card, but she wanted it A4 and not too over the top! I accepted the challenge... 

Yes there is the Sitichy Bear paper again.. I love it! It has so many uses and needs so little doing to it! 

 As you can see I decorated the from with loads of butterflies again, and the rhinestones... It just makes such a lovely card!  i think my mum is going to try and buy it, I know I have looked back there and can't se it at all! 

OK so there was one final twist... She wanted extra sheets on the inside for people to sign... I racked my brain, I could see it but I couldn't work out how I was going to do it! Looking back now i feel so silly not knowing with how simple it was! I just scored the front of the card with a 3mm gap from the spine of the card inwards and then used double sided tape to add the extra sheet and stick it all together! 

Well I hope you like it, I will make another A4 card after that as it was quite a bit of fun!!!

Tip Top Tuesday Challenge #38 - Tipper Week - Open Challenge

Well I don't know what happened... i'm sure i scheduled this post.... cant find it anywhere!!! 

Welcome Everyone to my 1st Week on the design team for Tip Top Tuesday! I have been stewing on my project for a whole week and have been so excited for today to come!

This week we have an Open Challenge, and both teams over at TTT have joined together as one and the team have come up with some BEAUTIFUL creations and some wonderful tips!!

We even had some digis to play with this week, I used the wonderful Rub-A-Dub and one of the papers available from here at Stitch Bear Stamps

We are sponsered by Robyns Fetish and Stitchy Bear Stamps, The prize for this weeks lucky winner is four stamps of their choice from Robyns Fetish!!! and Stitchy Bear are offering a 1st prize of a $10 voucher!

I coloured this little one with my faithful pro-markers, unfortunately where I was in a rush I didn't manage to note down the colours I used, I used a make up sponge to put the ink of the back for the blue, the lace is from my stash and i used ink around the side of the paper too!

Well I hope you like what I have created, as its an open challenge I hope that many of you will pop along and join in this week, I can wait to see what you all create!
