PBSC - Stitch It Up!

Good Morning!

I am so glad to be back again this Saturday after missing my past 2 cards for PBSC. So without further ado here is what I have for you today! This week's Challenge at PBSC is Stitch It Up! I haven't got around to buying myself a sewing machine yet so I had to do a little bit of faux around the edges of my backing paper.

I didn't think this card needed any flower embellishments so just added a few extra Dew Drops, i think it worked :)

PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - HERE COMES THE SUN

CUPCAKE CRAFT - SKETCH

RECIPE:

PB Stamp

Sentiment by Cat's Life Press

Basic Grey Paper

Crafty Ribbons DT Project!

Good Morning!

Some of you may remember that I usually get sent a package of ribbons from the company CRAFTY RIBBONS to design something for them with. Well my latest package arrived yesterday and there was even some buttons in with them ....

They are gorgeous don't you think?

Well I have managed to get my 1st card done for them and I thought I would share it all with you. I have used one of my oldest magnolia stamps which has unfortunately been neglected recently. I have decorated one acetate snowflake with twinklets and the 2 from cardstock with glimmer mist. I have also added some polar white flowersoft beneath the snowman.

Just A Heads Up!

Good Morning!

Apologies for being missing AGAIN last weekend, I honestly don't know where all the time has gone and I just simply didn't have the time to make any cards.

However, I just thought I'd let you know that this week over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE are celebrating their 3rd Birthday!!!

Like I mentioned before I didn't manage to get a card done this week for the Challenge but I do hope you will still pop by over there as there are some lovely creations from the rest of my teamie's and even some prizes up for grabs!

Hope you have a good day and I will definitely be back tomorrow with 2 cards to share with you all. Happy Crafting!
