52 cards challenge - week 6

Week 6 of the 52 card challenge  was to use a collection pack.  I rarely buy collection packs but I did have a 6x6 paper pad of Webster's Pages 'Best Friends' which was a magazine freebie that came with a co-ordinating chipboard pack.

I just added some doilies, punched butterflies and bling.

See it, Pin it, Do it - March

Time to take part in Fiona's monthly challenge See it, Pin it, Do it or SIPIDI

Another bracelet from me this month, I needed something new to match a top that I will be wearing to a wedding later this month.  I had some lovely red, black, grey and crystal beads in my extensive bead stash and took my inspiration from this pin

 Instead of just putting the beads on randomly like I usually do, I decided to have a set order like the bracelet above.

 I then decided it would be nice to have some matching earrings

If you take part this month, don't forget to link your SIPIDI on Fiona's blog

Birthday Princess

Here is another layout that I made for dear niece's album at the end of last year.

She went to Disneyland, Florida in 2012 and celebrated her 22nd birthday out there. 

I think the paper is by 3 bugs in a rug, I know I bought it at a Sarah's Cards retreat several years ago.  The title uses foam Thickers and the flowers are by Prima.  The die cut butterfly is Cheery Lynn.

Happy Mother's Day xxx

This is the card that I have made for Mum

I used Penny Black stamp 'Love and Roses', Joanna Sheen ivy flourish die and matted the image using a nestability die and some doilies.  The flowers and butterflies are EK Success punches and the sentiment is by Stampin' Up.

I will be spoiling Mum later by cooking her a nice roast dinner xx

Going Dotty

The theme for this month's Scrapology card challenge is Going Dotty -
"to use polka dots and or circles on any type of card. So look at one or both elements and maybe introduce shaped cards, its over to you".

I've made this card for my Aunt's birthday - she loves cats and this is one of my all time favourite Penny Black stamps.   

The paper comes from a very old Papermania stack, one of my very first scrapbooking purchases over 10 years ago.  It isn't very nice for scrapbooking with so I have been trying to use it on other projects - I swear this paper breeds as I have tried using it on cards, covering post it note pads, even wrapping presents with it but everytime I go to the paper holder I seem to have just as much paper in there as what I started with!!

I coloured the image with Promarkers and glittered the wings with Stardust stickles and the centre of the daily with yellow stickles for a bit of sparkle.  The sentiment is by Lilli of the Valley.

Whilst I had the yellow spotty paper out, I made a couple more cards using it -

This is one of my newest Penny Black purchases 'Playtime' - aren't those bears just so cute xxxx

There is still plenty of time to join in with the Scrapology card challenge as it doesn't close until 15th April.

Bah Humbug

The lovely Anita always teaches a Christmas layout in January and our layout was a variation of this page.

This is my take on it using three photographs -

The papers are by American Craft but I am not sure what range.  The title is cut using an X cut alphabet die - does anyone have any experience of using these in a Bigshot?  It took the addition of a lot of shims to get it to cut properly.

The photographs are from Christmas 2011, I bought Mr P a bah humbug santa hat as a joke as he always pretends that he hates Christmas.

Thank you Anita for another lovely class xx
