I'm entering it into the following challenges: Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Hot Metal (the dragon flies), Wild Orchid Challenge - Puches or dies (the heart) and The Pretty Little Ribbon - Layers.

Fluffy on the Lily

A very clean and simple card today I don't think I've ever made a card with no embellishments on before! This lovely image is 'Fluffy on the Lily' by Wee Stamps/Whimsy Stamps, how cute is he!
Im entering it into the following challenges: Stampin for the weekend - Show us your style (CAS), Charisma Cardz - Anything Goes, Whimsy Stamps Challenge - Anything but square and My Mum's Craft Shop - Your Favourite Stamp.

I'm having real trouble photographing my cards at the moment, I think my new house is a bit darker inside than my old one which had lots of spot lights in the ceiling. I will keep persevering though!

My Sister in Law has just moved into a new home, so when I saw this card from Kittie I knew it would be perfect for her!
So I shamelessly CASE'd Kittie's card (with her permission!) and this is my version:

Thnk you so much Kittie for letting me steal your design!

I'm amazed at how many punches I have that had never been used, the bird, square and butterfly were all years old and never used! And after seeing Kitties cards with all those flowers and leaves I went a bit mad over at the craft barn and bought lots of lovely Memory Box and Poppy Stamps dies!


Punches: Bird, Butterfly and heart (all manufacturer unknown), square - Dovecraft, Grass - Woodware, Ash Branch - Leone EM Pty Ltd.
Dies: Leafy Branch and Flower Mound - Memory Box, Grassland Border - Poppy Stamps, fleur de lis rectangles - Spellbinders
Papers: Desert Blooms - First Edition

On a Roll!

This card is available in my Etsy shop

Managed to get another card made this evening, I'm on a roll at the moment!

I found this image part coloured in my paper scrap box from when I moved so I dusted it off, finished her and made her into a card for the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog 'at the park' and for Cute Card Thursday 'Punch Drunk'

Digi Stamp: Mo's Digital Pencil 'Penelope's Wagon'
Papers: K&Co 'Berry Swwet'

Hopefully I'll be able to keep this rate of crafting up, I love my new craft room and can't keep out at the moment!
