Snowy Pink

I adore making Christmas cards and have been working my way through my stamps and stash as well as buying some new products. This card was made using a Lili of the Valley stamp and some paper from my stash. The snowflake die is a new purchase and the first time I have used it. I really like it. I am entering this card in the Crafty Cardmarkers #99 Snow and Ice challenge http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/99-christmas-snow-and-ice.html

Boys only

I generally find boys and men's cards much more challenging to make and even though I have lots of boy themed stamps and papers I still find them more difficult as I cannot add all the sparkles and glitter and flowers that I am so accustomed to! I did however make this skateboarding card and I am entering it into the My Mum's craft shop challenge - Boys only. Coincidently I bought the stamp from their shop. The papers came from the USA and the ticket stamp came from Lili of the Valley. I am also entering the Papertake weekly challenge - Child's Play http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.co.uk/ http://mymumscraftshop.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/challenge-9-boys-only.html

A new baby

So many of my colleagues are having babies at the moment. I am suspicious that this is a way to get them out of night duty and being on call! This is one of the cards I have just made using one of my favourite Lili of the Valley stamps. I got the backing paper when I was in America and the brads too. The sentiment tags also come from Lili of the Valley. I am entering this card in the Ribbons or Lace! competition http://ideastoinspire.blogspot.co.uk/p/challenge.html
