Love Birds

Another Valentine made using the Pink Petticoat, Old Fashioned Girl papers, I really love the colours and design of this paper. Teamed it up with some gingham ribbon from Papermania and a few buttons and flowers from my stash. I really like this one, so girlie!

Sweet Valentine.

Just been creating some little Valentines and this is my first. I downloaded the "Old Fashioned Girl" pack from Pink Petticoat and I just adore. It is so simple yet extremely effective. The contrast of the red, white and black is so eye catching I think. The ribbon is fro Papermania and the little gems are from Doodlebug Designs. The flowers are from Papermania and Got flowers Deux. I just love the scripted writing showing through the polka dots and of course the little stamp, love birds, adorable!

Double Anniversary

Two anniversary cards this weekend for my mother and father in law who are 40 years married, and my sister in law who is 5 years married, both on the same day! First image is card for my parents in law, this was made using Laura Ashley papers and flower, the stamp is from See-Dee's. The second is very plain little black handmade paper with a little paper rose attached with a bow, three little green pearls and finished with the same stamp, a little wobbly I'm afraid, though I love it!! Busy busy!

Pink Petticoat Birthday

This little image I just adore! I love Pink Petticoat's Lola Rose prints. This one I coloured using Faber Castell watercolour pencils which I received from my husband as part of my birthday present. I mounted it up on some light green patterned paper, I'm not sure what the brand is, it is part of a mixed pack which I picked up in my local craft supply shop. I used a scrap of pink card and run this through the Cuttlebug using the "swiss dots" embossing folder. The bubble flower stickers came free with my regular papercraft mag "Papercraft Inspirations". I really love the colours in this card it reminds me of early summer, a time of the year that I am longing for at the moment!

lilybean'spaperie challenge

This is my entry in Melissa's challenge, at lilybean's paperie my first ever entry to any challenge, so here goes!! Didn't want to go for the overwhelming effect of polka dots so i thought I would be a bit more subtle and adding them as an accent instead, I like its simplicity and it was all made from leftovers, backing paper came free with a magazine as did the dots, scrap of grey card for the flower, run through the cuttlebug a little fabric flower and a contrasting brad, a little silver handmade with love heart, as I do like to craft with love!!! Finished off with a stamp. Nice.

Distressed!

Just a wee tag, first attempt at distressing, I see this technique on so many blogs, I need lots of practice I think, I would love to create some of the beautiful pieces I've seen lately, just keep trying eh? :)

Maggie with Flowers.

This paper has been in my stash for ages, I love the colours but was`nt sure what to do with it. I have been lacking inspiration a little of late, so I was determind that I would create at least one card today! The paper is by "Crate Paper", not sure of the pattern, sorry! It was the same sheet, with plain and pattern on the opposite sides. I then mounted a Maggie stamp onto white card and then again onto the same pink. Had the pink ribbon in my stash, it was a bargain picked up on the net quite a while ago, by Basic grey. Die cut a few flowers using my cuttlebug and added some clear gems for a little sparkle. Quite nice I think, would you be happy if you received it?!!! :)

anne :D
