356 Cards: 308 - Pretty Pairs
Three posts in a day, take note this will never happen again, lol.
It is Pretty Pairs Week over on 356 Cards and all week they will be combining a different color with a different patterns.
Todays pairing was - Blue and Polka Dots and here is my card:
Very very quickly put together using domestic goddess paper and toppers printed from the papercraft inspirations website and some ribbon from my stash.
Now I'm really done for the day! Honest!

Mojo Monday - 222
Two cards in one day - I will never keep up this level of posting, but I was on Mojo Monday - I love their sketches, I have a saved folder full of them for when I need some inspiration! - but I've never participated before.
This is the sketch:
This is my card:
For some reason my camera refuses to take decent pictures today *sigh* so the colours don't show as brightly as they actually are...
The papers are Papermania Birdsong, the sentiment comes from a free stamp set I got in a magazine, as does the butterfly... (different magazines), the flowers are Petaloo Color Me Crazy, coloured with promarkers and the ribbon and gems came from my stash.

356 Cards: Day 307 Super Sketch Sunday
Happy New Year everyone!
I'm determined to take part in more card challenges this year - and use this blog more! So in that spirit, the challenge yesterday on 356 Cards was a sketch - I got some new crafty supplies for Yule and immediately knew I wanted to put some of my new Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers to use!
This is the sketch:
This is my card:
I used a pre-scored card base, some green cardstock from my scrap box, the paper is from the Papermania Birdsong pack, the flowers are Petaloo coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment is from a sticker sheet I've had in my stash for *ages*
Unfortunately no matter how many times I took the picture it just didn't take well, but this is certainly the best of the bunch!

Less is More - Just One Word
I have only a few presents left to wrap after the house goes dark tonight, so I procrastinate by making cards *g*
I visit "Less is More" fairly often but I've never participated, however this week it has a challenge for cards with 'Just One Word' and immediately I knew I wanted to do one that says 'Thanks' to send out after the holidays.
I got some new stamps this week from Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine. The Floral Collection designed by Jenny Ellory. This gave me the excuse to immediately jump on the big flower stamp using it, so the flowery corner stamp and the butterfly both came from that set and 'thanks' is a stampin' up stamp, both stamped with a black papermania ink pad.
(and I congratulate myself on for once knowing where everything on my card came from!)
I did try it with a bit of colour on the butterflies wings but think it works better without really... and I being so easy it's the perfect card to be reproduced as many times as I need it!

You're a Classic
So one of my very best friends husbands is 40 next week... he and I have a relationship where by we snark at each other until one of us gets speechless... this has been known to take hours... we then change the subject and snark some more. So in honour of his birthday - and off our usual snark fest, I made this card for him.
I don't often make cards for men, because there are really only a few men I know well enough to give cards too, but I found this image online at the papercraft inspirations site and coloured it with promarkers. The papers were also printed, but I have entirely forgotten where they came from! (I really need to learn to label things better when I save them!)
