A Bicycle Made for Two

Me and hubby are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary soon.  How come its always that little bit harder to make male cards, is it because you can't really add many embellishments, flowers etc.  Love the sketch at Papertake Weekly (Sketch #88), perfect for the card I wanted to make.  As soon as I saw this Memory Box die Bicycle Made for Two, I just had to have it.  Its so appropriate, as we've invested in a tandem and I am really enjoying going out together and hopefully getting fit as well.  I think hubby will love his card.

Sketch Saturday #302

Can't believe that I've made 2 cards this weekend. That is really good going for me. Don't know what I would do without these brilliant sketches. The image is LOTV from their Sketch Pad Vintage Boys. The papers are also LOTV and aptly named Country Gent. I only just bought the Marianne Die lamp post and I was itching to try it out. The senitment is Stampin Up.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

Love the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. I've used Mo Mannings Baby Fairy Bee. She is so cute and so easy to colour.  The background paper is a Pink Petticoat download and so appropriate for her.  The flower is a Spellbinders Bloom 3. I'm really pleased how that has come out, and the leaves are a Memory Box die, and the border is a MFT crochet border. The sentiment is Stampin Up and so are the 2 little bees on each corner. Not too sure about them tho'.

Sketch Saturday #297

Really liked this weeks Sketch on Sketch Saturday.  I really love the LOTV paper pads, they seem to be my first choice for most of my cards recently.  The patterned papers are LOTV Bonnets & Bowties. The image is also LOTV Woof You. I've used a Die-namics Faux Crochet Border for the centre piece. The sentiment is also LOTV.  The background plain paper on the card is from a paper pad I bought from LIDL.  I'm really surprised how good the paper is. The choice of colours are varied and the quality of the paper is excellent.

Sentimental Sundays - Challenge #193

The challenge at Sentimental Sundays is add sparkles, blings and buttons.  I've used Mo Manning digi image Birthday Fairy Lee. The papers are First Edition Sweet Owl. I've added glamour dust to her wings, the buttons are from my stash, and the sentiment is a Lili of the Valley.

A Valentine Wish

I didn't have a clue what image to use this year for hubbies valentine card.  I was just looking through folders on my laptop, and one folder is called Digi Images, and I spotted this little fella called Puppy Love. Perfect.  I haven't a clue where I got it from.  I've gone for a blue theme which is not a traditional valentine colour but I thought I'd be different.  The papers I've used are LOTV NitWit Collection Bear Necessities. I wrote the sentiment on the tag, and the heart button is from my stash. I've used the sketch from Seize the Sketch #13, and Cute Card Thursday is Lots of Love.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

I was gutted when I read that Arlana was unable to carry on with the challenge blog Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  A big cheer though, as Sally Dube has taken over the reins, hence the name Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  I've used Fairy Dust Tilda.  The papers are Forever Friends Kraft Notes.  I've paper pieced her onesie with matching papers, and added Glamour Dust to the wishes.  The sentiment is computer generated.
