Papertake

Heres my entry for this weeks Papertake challenge. I cant believe that yet another of my friends are getting married, its so grown up! (sorry for the rubbish picture, I couldnt seem to get a good one)

The stamp came free with a magazine and all the papers were from a set that I got at a craft fair, unfortunatly I dont have the label so I dont know who made it! Anyway I hope you like it.

My Graffico and Papertake

I feel like I have been making nothing but Birthday cards recently, they are always needed after all. But now my mojo has returned and I had a bit of variety.

First up is my entry for this weeks Papertake challenge I made a simple, but I think beautiful note card to send to my friend's maid of honour to thank her for my invite to the Hen do along with the cheque for my theatre ticket.

All the delicate flowers were free with a crafty magazine. BONUS.

Next up is my entry for the colour challenge on My Grafico

Brown, Olive Green and Pink. Im not sure who its for, it will join the stash in the draw for now. I used papers from K&Co and Buttons from Basic Grey.

Hope you like.

3 in 1

Remember I said I was asked to make 6 birthday cards for my aunt, well I sent them off last week and 2 days later I had a check in the post along with a letter asking for 12 more by the end of March!!!!!! Im in demand!

To meet this request Ive been busy completing 3 challenges with 1 card. I took my inspiration from My Time to Craft for the theme of cats; Allsorts with the colour combination Pink and Brown, and Papertake for the sketch.

Im not too sure if I actually like this card much, my Mum thinks its great but she has to say that! Im going to work on it for a bit and hopefully post a version I am happier with later, this post will have a kind of before and after section. I do like the cat though :)

Part 2

This is the new and improved version. Ive stuk to just pink and brown added some boarders and dropped the you are. I think for this card simple is better. I finished it this afternoon when I got back from work.

O and I flipped the background, but that was from a happy accident (I got the measurements wrong!!) I still like the cat.

Papertake 31

My Aunt was so impressed with her Christmas card that she has asked me to make her 6 Birthday cards, shes going to pay me for them too! Thats a little bit more to add to the holiday fund.

I used the sketch from this weeks Papertake challenge for one of the cards

I got to use up lots of bits and pieces from stash to make this card which is good. I think the pattern was from a magazine Ive had it so long I cant remember which one. Its not the best picture though so I do apologise for that

Papertake

A quick Birthday card made to order (for my Mummy) and to enter this weeks fab Papertake challenge. Not only was it a change from making a Christmas card, but I got to use many pieces from my stash, infact it was all made from my papaer, card and letter stash.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like it.

Papertake 24

This is my last minute entry into this weeks Papertake Challenge, its slightly different from the sketch, but only slightly.

The plain paper is from Dovecraft Designer Pack.

Its not clear in the picture, but the bottom half of the card is covered by a sheet of Anita's Christmas Silver Vellums, this one has a snowflake pattern.

The star paper is part of my stash, I think it must have been another bargin buy there was no label on the back.

The letters are Anita's Silver outline stickers.

The photo was taken buy me back in Feburary when we had the snow. I had a snow day from work so I went for a walk. I thought everything looked so much more beautiful covered in snow, so I took so many photos. I love that I can send christmas cards across the world with pictures of my little town.

I have completed a few more challenges this week so I will be making a few regular posts.

Promised pictures of the Papertake Challenge

Okie first things first here is my entry for this weeks Papertake challenge. Its such a dodgy picture and to be honest Im not that keen on the card anymore, but I said Id post it. Ive not made a card using these colours before I usually use blues, pink and pastel colours so I thought I would challenge myself with something brighter. Most of the paper is from a stash I have collected and never quite known what to do with, I looked for the name on the back of the green leafy paper and realised Id cut it out and stuck on the card, oops! The rest of the green paper is from Kit 'N Kraft summer collection, the same as I used on my brother's birthday card. The lettering is the same too. I made the pink and yello butterlfies.

I also mentioned a get well card I made (to order), here it is. This one I am soooooo pleased with.

Once again it features the gorgeous Alfie, this picture was taken just after hed had a holiday at the vets, so it was perfect for a get well card. This was for my Mum's cousin who lives in South Africa, she has five cats!!! I love the fact that one of my cards is now making its way to the other side of the world. I used the K & Company roam papers like I used for Big Bro's other card.
