Three Cards

Morning everyone.  The weathers a bit grey and dreary looking this morning, hope it brightens up later!  I have been neglecting the various challenges out there at the moment since returning to work and taking on various DT's so I have changed that by making FIVE purely for the fun of doing challenges Whoo Hooo!!!

I have three to show you here and I'm rather pleased with how they turned out!  I had just bought my Big Shot before making the first card and BOY did I have fun playing with my diecuts and combining my new nestie with new Nellie frame and rather neglected Charmed image. How did I manage without a BS lol?   Only thing is my wish list is now MASSIVE as I love virtually every die cut and embossing folder I see rofl.  This card will be entered into the following challenges:

Dotties World - 2 x 3D Butterflies

Sketch and Stash - Sketch

Cupcake Crafts - Make Your Own Flowers

ABC Challenge - Red

Stampin for the Weekend - Ribbons and Bows

Stamptacular Sunday - Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Daring Cardmakers - Diamonds (on the butterflies)

I've used a Charmed Download here, I certainly think she adds the spice part to the SS challenge and with flowers, butterflies, bows and a bit of bling - what more could a gal want hahahaa!

My second card is for

Pollycraft - Anything Goes

Charisma Cardz - Animal Magic

I love this image and he was just crying out for a bit of layering.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My final card is for

Just Cute Bears - Yellow and Green

Everybody Art Challenge - Sketch

Isn't he adorable, I bought him at the recent fair in Harrogate - can't believe its taken me a couple a weeks to getting round to using him lol!  I think he'll be a regular though!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day whatever you're up to.  Happy crafting.

Another Two in One Card

I've been busy, in between work, catching up on some challenges. This card will be entered into two challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - (Wk 74) Song Title/Lyrics

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #32 Sketch

I've quite a few friends with young sons whose birthdays are rapidly approaching! I thought the colours and image would be perfect for a little boy. My biggest problem now is which one to send it to LOL!!! PB Saturday Challenge this week would like to see cards based around a favourite song title or song lyrics. I opted for "Wild Thing", which was a hit for The Troggs in the 60's.
