So, does anyone remember THESE cards? Someone should have yelled out that I forgot the wallet I made! So anyway, this is the quick wallet I made, and when I find the link to the template I used, will update the post for you.

I wanted to keep the design similar to the cards, so I just made it the same with a few extras like the glitter and the greeting in a cut out shape.

This is inside. You can’t see it that well but the cards are inside their own little box.

And this is the back, the small flap holds it all closed.

ENJOY

I really love this months challenges from the Elite Challenge Blog. This month the Stamp set challenge is a new set from the Spring Mini Catalogue. It called ‘Great Friend’ and it’s my favourite from the mini catalogue. This is the stamps from the set:
and the colour challenge is this:
Love the spring feel these colours have together

SO……I decided to combine the two challenges and create this card:
I did originally have all 3 butterflies in Regal Rose, but decided while I was taking the photos, that one of them needed to be a different colour. I did try using So Saffron, but it seemed a little washed out. I think the Kiwi Kiss works well. I also had all of the butterflies wings curled up but decided just to keep the focus on the centre butterfly and only curl those ones.

So here’s my question to all you who read my blog:
Would you like to see challenges here on my blog?
If so, what would you be interested in? Colour challenges, sketch challenges, themed challenges? Let me know. You can either leave a comment on this post or EMAIL me with your ideas. I would love to be able to get more people involved, so I’m not talking to myself all the time lol.
ENJOY

Stop Press!

I’m became an Aunty again yesterday morning! My Big Little Sister (big meaning older, and little meaning shorter) gave birth to a beautiful baby BOY at 4:28am and weighing a not so tiny 10 pound 7 ounces! I give it to you Jamie, Well Done!
The new, not so little man, doesn’t have a name yet but I couldn’t resist making a card anyway. I need a card for our next door neighbours anyway whose present has been sitting on the table for quite a while now!

Finally, I have been able to use the new Corduroy Buttons from the Spring Mini Catalogue.

I’ve simply just used a bit of Stampin Up’s hemp Twine, tied a knot and trimmed the edges. I juts love the feel of these buttons. They also come in Basic Gray and Kiwi Kiss. You also get 2 sizes of brads in the same material in the pack. LOVE IT!

Keep you eye out as there will probably be some more baby cards once we have a name so I can make it more personal for them

ENJOY

I do not watercolour…..but let me re-phrase that…….I didn’t watercolour, until I got this stamp set. It’s called Fifth Avenue Floral and it’s officially been added to the ‘Sandy’s Top 5 Stamp Set’ list. I have seen so many different styles from using this set. Versatility is what I like in a stamp set. I don’t know that it has a great watercolour look about it, I might have to practice a little, but I had fun making it!
You can never have too many roses….uuhhmm did you hear that my lovely husband?

Don’t you just love that sentiment!

ENJOY!
