For a friend

who just lost her mother after a long battle with cancer. What a terrible time to lose your mother, just before Mother's Day. I used 7gypsies paper and made the bird myself. Hug your loved ones this weekend.

Mother's Day...

is just around the corner and I've got to get these cards in the mail. I don't think they'll make it on time. I am such a bad daughter!!!

This is for my mother, I took the sketch off a great new sketch site I found, too bad I can't read anything on it, haha!! Here's the sketch I loosely based my card on.

Hope you all have a fantastic Mother's Day and get all the spoiling you deserve!!!

What a glorious Sunday

I can't wait to get out in the sunshine today. I think I might do some window washing today and finish up that dang mountain of laundry.

Here's a card I made from a card kit swap on Lil Scrappers, I sent this same product to Carla, I can't wait to see what she made with it. This was made from Cosmo Cricket papers and their black chipboard (love that stuff)!!

Get out there and enjoy this day, I hope you are all having as fabulous a day as we are!!

WISH card.

Hey all, happy weekend everyone! It is supposed to be a gorgeous weekend here. I need to get caught up on laundry and housework, but I do hope I find some time to spend in the glorious sun.

Here's a card I did for a 'card kit challenge' on Lil Scrappers last month. Carla made up two identical card kits for both her and I and we were to create a card. Here's Carla's version and here's mine

I sent a kit to her but I've not had time to make anything with it yet and not sure if she has either! haha. Oh well, off to get started on that mountain of laundry.

What a beautiful day!

I am playing hookie from school today, only 4 more days left, I can't believe how fast the time has flown. It's seems like my first day of school was just last week. I've got a few loose ends to tie up at school and then I am free....then I need to find a job, haha!! I can't wait to start making my own paycheque again.

Here is a card I did as a sketch challenge on Carla's blog. She's always got some pretty neat challenges going on there. She is super talented, too. I always love seeing her latest work. I think you all have until the 18th to take part in her sketch challenge, go on and check it out.

Now that I look at this card, it seems very flat to me, I usually add more dimension than this to my cards, oh well, c'est la vie!! Thanks for the challenge Carla.

Flight of Fancy

Starting today, Caardvarks is having a Flight of Fancy challenge going on for the next couple of weeks. You have an opportunity to win a butterfly set of stamps from Penguin Pants, too cute. All you have to do is make a card with wings and upload to the Flight of Fancy gallery over there!! Here's mine, not quite what I was planning but the plan in my head was just not coming together so I had to come up with this one quite late!!

April showers...

...well, we've had a wet and yucky Saturday here in the east. Spring has arrived, finally, I guess. Spring has also got me thinking about Mother's Day cards and as I was blog surfing this morning I came across a gorgeous little card at Jen del Muro's blog and knew right away that I had to make one for my mother-in-law, she's an avid gardener. Thanks for the inspiration Jen, I hope you don't mind me copying you, but I just had to make this.
