Simply Stampin Challenge

Just a quickie today......thought I would try my hand at the simply stampin challenge this week. 

 The photos aren't great as I took them this evening and not in day light.

It was a sketch this week and I normally struggle with them but thought I would have a go...nothing to lose and all that!!!!


We're going out for the day tomorrow for Elliots birthday but I'll reveal all next time.

Thanks for stopping by,
Take care

Supplies used: All SU unless stated; Pool party ink, card and bakers twine, Lucky Limeade card and ink, Everything Eleanor stamp set, happiest birthday wishes stap set, Beautiful wings die, First edition DSP, Lace ribbon border punch.

Anniversary Wishes

Rain, rain and more rain........it won't stop!!!!  and I am fed up with it now!!

Anyway, it was my wedding anniversary last week and for some reason it seemed to creep up on me and I found myself making this card this night before....a bit unlike me and it was a bit rushed but when needs must and all that....(that doesn't sound very romantic at all!)

I borrowed my friends heart shaped nestabilities and came up with this.....

I have used the real red DSP from the paper stack and the swirl from Everything Eleanor.  The letters are stamped with the broadsheet alphabet set.

I have been practising with baking scones tonight.  We have special garden party at school at the weekend and have been asked to supply scones.  I normally always buy my cakes for school as I am too embarrassed to admit they are mine but I thought with a little practice I might be able to give home baked scones this time (it has been ages since I made them) and do you know what.....they weren't too bad at all.
I have to make a card for the person who they are hosting the party for so I will be back in the week with that.

I have started on my Fathers Day cards but I seem to have lost my creative mojo so things are happening VERY slowly.

A Variation on a Theme...

Wow.... what a hectic weekend we had...we were out all weekend on various sporting events with the boys and I now have a nice tan to prove it.  Although I was very good at applying protection regularly I got very burnt - no shade and a windy day make for a dodgy combination.... Anyway, the boys had a great time and both did really well.

This weekend won't be much quieter either, do you have any plans for the jubilee celebrations?

So, my variation on a theme.  I was asked to make a card for a friends 60th birthday (I can show you now as her birthday has been and gone!) and with the bits left over, I made an anniversary card for my friends celebrating 10 happy years together.

The Birthday card....

Have used my favourite Twitterpated DSP again and check out the ribbon....fabulous pleated ribbon - it's beautiful!  Notice the rosettes again, sorry, but I am loving rosettes!!

The Anniversary card now then...

I did make too many rosettes for the 60th card so I couldn't let it go to waster now could I????
I have used the Everything Eleanor stamp set on both cards, another beautiful set.

I have card club tomorrow night and I am working so I'm off to check I am organised.
