Rainbow Lady's challenge - It's All About Love

Over on Rainbow Lady's challenge blog this week It's 'All About Love' so I have used one of my lovely Penny Black stamps to make this card. The background is Core'dinations and although it doesn't show up in the picture it has been sanded and is a slightly different colour where it is embossed. I'm not normally into cute but these stamps do it for me and I find I use them quite a lot.

Bah! Humbug! - Buttons and Bows

Over on Bah! Humbug! this week our friends have challenged us to use buttons and bows, now for me that combination doesn't conjure up Christmas but not to be beaten I have had a bit of a play and here is the result.

The snowman I bought in January when Sir Stampalot had a sale, as soon as I saw him he was sold! I have use Promarkers and some extra fine glitter which I'm not sure shows very well but it does make a difference. The buttons on his belly are covering four drawn ones but they were too big to use four. The backing paper is pale green but looks white because of the light and finally I have tied a big red bow around the bottom. There isn't a greeting on it at the moment because I can't find the one I want to use so it will stay bare until the stamp shows up again.

CD Sunday -Friendship

Over on CD Sunday we are quite excited because this week we are being sponsored by the wonderful Debbees CD's. The design team were lucky enough to have some designs to play with from Debs and this is what I decided to do. I love the square pages with the design made into a circle so used that inside the card on the out side I have used a set of three images and made half the card from acetate.  These images are so sweet and the backing papers match so well that they were a joy to use.

The heme this week is friendhip and for once I have made my card entirely from a cd, this quite unusual as I normally only use bits and then add stamps and inks etc., these images were perfect and didn't need anything adding.

I hope you'll come over and join us and check out the teams work, we look forward to seeing you.
