Firstly I'd like to share a couple of cards I've made for challenges. First up was one for Caardvarks, but I didn't get it finished in time as I only came across it last minute. This month you had to use one of the DT cards as inspiration, so I picked one of my favourite designers, Heidi Van Laar, I love her sunny, happy cards so thought I would use bright colours for this one.
For this I used Cosmo Cricket DeLovely papers, my new doiley nesties, and some ribbon from Ribbon Girl.
This is Heidi's card...
Next up is one I made for Waltzingmouse's Sketch Challenge #19. I'm not sure about this one. I like the papers etc, but I don't think I like the way I've done the stamp, but I am doing as I'm told by Ian and Tinks and posting it! Talk about nag! They get an idea in their mind and then gang up on me!!
This card is a bit of Basic Grey and a bit of SU!! The papers and stamp are BG, the mini sentiment, bow and tab punch are all SU!
I finally had time to load my overdue blog awards. I really do apologise to you Janet and Sue for me not having posted them sooner. Life has been very full on. I really appreciate you thinking of me, I REALLY do, it makes me feel it's worthwhile blogging!
My first award is from Janet over at her blog, Sonnet Designs.
I have to pass the award on to 10 other people and say why I started my blog. I started my blog at the beginning of last year, to try and kick start my motivation to keep making cards. I had no idea I would learn so much when I started, and how much I would enjoy it. It's so much fun! I've met lots of really interesting people, and made some good friends along the way too.
I would struggle at 10 people as I follow a few too many blogs, but to be honest the people I would like to pass my award to are those followers that always leave me a comment, without fail, when at times I'm sure they probably shouldn't ;o) You know who you are! Without your comments I'd probably give up so thank you SO SO much!
Thanks Janet, I really appreciate you nominating me! Pop over and see some of Janet's work. I especially love her Santa here.
My second award is from the lovely Sue Lelli. I love her work and regularly look at her blog for inspiration.
So apparently I'm supposed to tell you something about myself. Hmmm, what can I share... I love everything French, I have tried many times to learn it, got to an ok level and then something has come up that has stopped me, or is it me that stops me?! I am a perfectionist and everyone would say I'm too hard on myself. I don't need anyone else to criticise me, I can do a much better job of it myself!!
I would like to pass this award onto the following people...
Now pop over to Sue's blog and check out these to die for flowers. Aren't they FABULOUS! I 'need' that flower die cutter!!!
Keep up the great work girls, you inspire me on a daily basis!
They're so cute...I just love them all :)
