X Box Fan!

Both my grandsons are big X Box fans! So what better than to make an appropriate card for the eldest.  I used an image from Mo's Digital Pencil which I had printed out some time ago, which was fortunate as my computer now says it can't read the image!

 Happy Little Stampers Birthday

Happy Easter!

Hello, today I have two Easter cards to show you - the same but different (or at least the background paper is!) I decided it was high time to get out of the rut of making all my cards with either a side fold or top fold, and cut these ones out on my Silhouette.

The papers are from the Simon Says Stamp March kit and the stams are from SU. The tulip one is retred and I masked of the sentiment that came with it and used one from another set, but can't remember which one! I am entering this into the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More - Holiday Challenge
Make My Monday - Flowers
Crafters Cafe - Easter ( this is a new to me challenge site)
Pixies Playground - where the challenge is always to use snippets - mine are the green mats and the gingham ribbon.
 

Will you be my Valentine?

I only ever send one Valentine card each year so I hadn't intended making one this year as I still had one left over fom a challemge last year! But I was inspired to make one when I received this month's Simon Says kit.  It's also quite unusual for me to make something as soon as get the kit, in fact the January one still hasn't been touched!

I am entering this into Simon Says Wednesday challenge which is Anything Goes, Addicted to Stamps & More is Clean and Simple - not sure whether this fits the criteria so feel free to delete it if it doesn't!
Just us Girls has Use sentiment as a focal point

 

New Home and a NBUS card!

The lovely Darnell is hosting her third NBUS challenge.

 For those of you who don't know this term it means " Never Before Used Schtuff"! 

 

Just before Christmas - exactly a week before- my son and family moved into their new house. Up till now they have lived in military accommodation, but as he has just taken up his last posting before leaving the RAF they decided to buy. Of course this meant a new home card had to be made and I had the perfect stamp set for it - the SU Holiday Home set, which is now retired. I will be keeping it though as I love the different houses and is useful for so many occasions.  So here is the card I made them.

The sentiment is raised up as I smudged it when I stamped directly on the card! I'm also entering this into Addicted to Stamps and More where the challenge is to "Make your Mark". The background was sponged and the house coloured with Promarkers, and to Pixies Playground as the house and sentiment label and hearts used some small snippets. It's a long time since I've been over there - hope they haven't forgotten me!
