More Bears....

Morning.

Remember the other day I shared the PB bears and said they'd come to my rescue again... this is the card I had planned to be making when I remembered about the CASS DT card!

This is a card I made for my friend's daughter and it's the one we gave her. I've even given one of the bears a JoJo Bow. Have you seen these things? They're the size of small planets!! So glad I have boys!!!

Fore!

Morning! 

Hope you had a lovely weekend. Ours was quite busy but quite productive for all that.

And here goes another week of clearing out - this is a card I made for my friend as one of her Father's Day card orders.... I've used a PB Hedgie and tried to make the card look vaguely like a golf ball.

Flowers

A nice wee simple card today. It's one I made for my sister in law's birthday, which I forgot!!.  

I've used a Penny Black stamp and die cut some flowers - I coloured the flowers to make them look the same as the die cut ones. Or did I die cut the flowers to look the same as the coloured ones.....

Hello

Hope all is well with you. 

Tonight I'm sharing a card I made for my friend's 40th a couple of weeks ago. I thought this Stamping Bella image was appropriate as we had a wee night out to celebrate and ended up in a champagne bar!

This week our theme is

Let's Get Musical

This card was actually a bit of an accident. When LotV had a sale recently I bought this wee image and wanted to try it out at the Crafty Cabin and a few bits and pieces later and lo and behold I had met the challenge brief without actually meaning to!

A Sloth of Bears

Morning!

Yeah, I didn't know that either. The collective noun for a group of bears is a sleuth or a sloth... so a sleuth of bears a whole group of wee detective bears wearing deerstalkers and smoking pipes..... Sorry, I took that too far.

So that leads me neatly on to today's card (well, some months ago's card). A friend asked me to make a card for her Dad's 60th. I think I've already shared the one from the kids but this is the one from her.

I broke out the Penny Black bears again cos they're just great for putting messages on cards and not having to faff about matching papers and stuff.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

This week our theme is

Add A Heart

Our sponsor this week are Quixotic Paperie.

This is another one of those stamps I got for not very many pennies in my local craft shop, isn't he a cutie? I was trying to make him last week and wasn't terribly inspired after I had coloured him in. Then last weekend I went to a friends for the weekend and 5 of us had a fab crafty weekend. Not laughed so much in ages! One of the girls had this fab heart confetti border punch and so the card took shape.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

Yes, I know it's a Team Abi week but I couldn't resist as this week our theme is
Just For Men

Our sponsor this week are Yours and Mine Papercraft.

I love these Penny Black bears and I was delighted at an excuse to get them inked up again. This is a card for my friend's daughter to give her son and I usually always have a rugby theme running through the card but I decided this year not to use a rugby player - although I bought one earlier in the year with this card in mind but the wee bears are actually holding the letters edged with the Cartha colours! And look, doodling too.
