Greeting Card Valentine

This week's challenge at colourQ has very pretty colours:

Just Add Ink have challenged us to Just Add Love.

So I took both these challenges and here's the result.

It was fun make the Top Note Quilt - my poor neglected sewing machine was dragged out to do the stitching.

Thanks for visiting,

Colour RoundUP Color Challenge #21

I saw this challenge this morning and immediately knew exactly which stamps I was going to use - in fact it only took about 15mins from start to finish & I used all the scraps lying around. Finally made a masculine card!

Here's a closer look:

Finally taken the plunge & moved....

It wasn't as hard as I thought to change from Typepad to Blogger. I've been envious of all the customisation that can be done on Blogger, and it's free - so whilst I didn't hate Typepad it became time to move.

I found moving all my posts across surprisingly easy. I've yet to do all the Customisation - headers, backgrounds etc, so it's pretty simple for now.

It has taken away from my play time today though.

Maybe tonite after all the chores are done.

Hope you are having a fabulous day.

colourQ challenge #70

I was realy hesitant when I saw the colours this week:

 

but as I began to play I realise that I LOVE them!  That's the best part about these challenges they make you step out of your comfort zone & you find yourself discovering fab new combos etc.

I really wanted to make a card with Ice-Creams or Chocolate - mmm Strawberry Cream Chocies.  Didn't have anything remotely like it so here's my card for this challenge. 

I'm a sucker for PINK and Birdies so I course I love this card. LOL 

 

Thanks for visiting - have a great day!

Color Throwdown # 127

This weeks challenge at color throwdown is:

Here's my card:

 

 

I really struggled - this card has had so many metamorphasis 's LOL.  So many stamp sets were used in it's creation to finally only showcase a sentiment from flight of the Butterfly.  Still it's a sweet card & was able to use a scrap of crumb cake that I'd previously run through a friends Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.  Gotta love using those scraps in the basket. 

Happy Stamping!
