Twin door hangers

My twins have just turned nine. I made these personalised door hangers using the 'Santa stop here' stamp of James bear from the Lili of the Valley collection. The stamp was so cute and just perfect for this job. I am entering this in the Lili of the Valley Monthly Challenge - anything but a card. They must have worked as he brought lots of great presents! http://ideastoinspire.blogspot.co.uk/p/challenge.html

Fore You!

This is one of my favourite Lili of the Valley stamps. I have used it for some of the men in my life. I wouldn't usually pick pink for a men's card but I think you can be a bit creative with golfers for their love of pattern! I am entering this for the Lili of the Valley Monthly Challenge - Pink and White I hope to be the first entry of a male themed card!

Summer fun

Beth lives in Tampa, Florida (lucky girl) and turned 15 this summer. This image and these papers felt perfect for a Summer birthday and a teenager and I just added some Summer-themed brads that I bought in America when I went to visit. Perfect.

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

A first birthday card

I was asked to make a first birthday card for a friend's granddaughter as she couldn't find anything that was right in the shops for this special little girl. She requested lilac and these papers from my stash fitted the bill. The stamp is a Lili of the Valley one and just perfect for a first birthday. Happy birthday little Ashley.

I decided to enter this card into the Ribbon girl September card challenge (include numbers) http://www.ribbongirls.blogspot.co.uk/. This is the first time I have entered a Ribbon girl challenge.
