...ok, I'm exaggerating but I made 4 cards! This week has been a lovely week in that I've had no rushing around so have had a couple of days to myself to craft away to my heart's content! I've been wondering whether to do a post when I've made a card rather than saving up all my cards from the week and doing one marathon post...mmmm.... what do you think? Most people seem to do a post per card.....Anyway, whilst I'm thinking, here are some cards!...
First up is You're My Number 1-abella: a birthday card for a friend. I've been a bit naughty and ordered a stash more of Stamping Bellas so I hope you're not bored with them!!! I paper pieced just about everything on her using these gorgeous MME papers. I added glitter to her hair band and Liquid Pearls to her necklace.
I'd like to enter this into:
Bellarific Friday- freestyle!
Anything goes- pearls
Allsorts Challenge- sketch
Secret Crafter- stitching
Crafty Creations- paper piecing
Papertake Weekly- dimensional
A close up!
Crafty stash used: Stamps (Stamping Bella); Watercolour pencils; Copics; Papers (MME); Assorted cardstock; Flowers (Prima); Buttons; Sewing machine; Pearls (Prima)
Next up is an Easter card for my Dad's pen friend. I suppose he's my pen friend now but I still see him as my Dad's. Anyhow he's in the US so I tend to do something fairly simple and flat! This is a gorgeous PSX stamp I coloured with copics.
I'd like to enter this into:
DieCut Dreams- Easter
Pink Elephant- Easter
Creative Card Crew- Spring
My time to craft- on the spot

Crafty stash used: Stamp (PSX); Paper (MME); Assorted cardstock; Copics; Ribbon; Button
Next up is a card for a friend's little boy. I chose Hanging Around as he loves to climb things! Stamp is coloured with copics. Paper is Making Memories.
I'd like to enter this into:
Simon Says Challenge- card for a child
Stamp with Fun- sketch
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Penny Black); Papers (Making Memories); Assorted cardstock; Copics; Sentiment (Pink Petticoat); Punch (Stampin Up); Nesties; Buttons
My last card is a bit of change of stylee- what do you think?! I used my new papers (see below) from Fancy Pants. The stamp was free in a stamping mag and I did some major paper piecing! Sentiment is Waltzing Mouse. I used my distressing tool to add to the vintagey look.
I'd like to enter this into:
Truly Scrumptious- vintage
Crafty stash used: Stamps (freebie; Waltzing Mouse); Papers (Fancy Pants); Assorted cardstock; Nesties; Scalloped border & rolled flower (Die-namics); Distresser; Pearls
And last up is some new crafty stash I treated myself to! I am SO loving these paper pads, they are GORGEOUS!!
Thanks for stopping by today, hope you liked what you saw!!! Happy crafting! xxxxx

Hello Steph!
I know Id rather you posted more than once a week as if I miss that then its a whole week gone by then a mega catch up!
You need to do what suits you but often I schedule mine for in the week as I find thats the best of both worlds for me!
4 beautiful cards, its lovely to see the narcissus one and that you have continued to keep up the friendship that your Dad started, how lovely!
I have to say that the 4 year olds birthday card is my favourite this week as I love the funky image and colours and can imagine his face when he sees it!
In answer to your question, the Easter cross comes from
Delicious Doodles and hopefully this link will work!
Enjoy your sunday!
