Forever Friends

I haven't entered many cards into challenge blogs for a while - until this last week and now I've gone a bit challenge crazy!! This card is for the Forever Friends challenge blog and the challenge was to follow a sketch.

I hadn't coloured a FF bear for a long time and I couldn't remember which colours I used in the past! I went with Oatmeal, caramel, peach and vanilla. I think he looks quite good! I used some dotty papers I've had forever! and some kraft CS from SU. I punched some co-ordinating flowers and stuck some teeny gems in the centres and stamped a sentiment to finish.

Thanks for looking.

Baby Boy

Hello all. Sorry I've not been around for a while! I'm off work for the summer hols but I only get 4 weeks this year and I've been making the most of them!

I've completely gone from one extreme to the other though and I've made 11 ... yes 11!! cards today. This is the baby boy card for one of my bestest friends ever who gave birth last week to her first baby. Seems wierd to think of her having her first and my youngest being 12!! And she's only 6 months younger than me! We all do it our own way though eh??!

I've used my FF baby stamp which I love and some cute paper from my local craft shop. A few teeny gems in the corners and the sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs.

The other 10 cards I've made today, I will post during the week.

P.S. I changed my profile pic too cos I got my hair cut!!

Baby Boy

I've done a few baby cards recently! Must be something in the air lol. So without further ado here is a baby boy card for Angela to give to one of her many pregnant friends.

I used my cute FF bear stamp coloured with Promarkers (what else?!!) and some papers from my local craft shop and a few blue gems to finish. I really like this simple design.

Entered into Sunday Sketch and Stamp #32.

Baby Girl

I didn't get chance to post my cards yesterday as I had a busy busy day! Wasn't it a lovely day again? Where's the sun gone today I ask? It's rainy here in Nottingham today and it's gone quite cold too :((

Anyway, on to the cards. This first one is made using a gorgeous FF bear coloured with Promarkers. I used a MS punch and some gorgeous paper with babygros and bibs on that I bought just a single sheet of from my local craft shop. I might have to get some more!

Some gorgeous teeny gems to finish off.

Forever Friends Birthday Card

Post 2  for today.

This card is for my BIL whose birthday is next weekend. Entered into Card Patterns sketch #71. I was going to enter into FF too but forgot to put the faux stitching on doh!! I went to Manchester yesterday with my husband to fetch his company car for his new job and we also visited the Trafford Centre and then an Arts & Crafts shop which took ages to find! I bought a little easel to stand my cards on to photograph which you can just see the bottom of in this pic.

I use Promarkers in Cinnamon, Tan & Putty for FF bears and blush for the nose bit and a teeny dot of Cerise on the cheeks and ears. It's really hard to photograph cards with mirri card because I can always see a bit of myself in the picture!

A couple of buttons with some silver twine to finish.

Thanks for lookin, Donna x

Congratulations!

My 2nd post of the day!

I don't usually post during the week and I'm posting twice in one day!

We have a temporary receptionist at work and she was interviewed today for a permanent post within our Academy and was offered the job! I have made this card (which is A5 size) so that us girlies in the office can all sign it and give it to her tomorrow to say well done!

I think my colouring is getting a bit better - what do you think?

I used some pretty pink papers from the Rose Coloured Glasses collection pack which is another pack from g.c.d. studios. I just love their papers - gorgeous! The gold foil paper is Anita's and the ribbon, gems and flower are all from my stash.
