Simply Betty November

Just about getting my card in on time for the challenge over at Simply Betty's Facebook page. You got a choice of two images and I chose Little Indian Betty, You also had to use feathers somewhere on your project - I hope diecut feathers are OK. I do have feathers, somewhere. But I really don't use them and had recently bought this die from Cheery Lyn. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Thankful by Jean Barrett. The diecut flowers are MFT with wee rhinestones added to the centre and a bit of ribbon to finish.

Tiddly Inks sweet stampin

For today's card I have followed the sketch over at Sweet Stampin. I have used this sweet Mermaid image from Tiddly Inks, so thought as the theme over at the Tiddly Inks challenge was Summertime, this would be perfect. I also want to enter it into the first challenge over at A Creative Romance, which is a nice easy one of anything goes. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Here without you by Krystal Hartley. The doily behind the image is a die from Cheery Lynn Designs. The shells are dies from Marianne D and the clouds are a Memory Box die. I printed the sentiment out and cut it out with a Spellbinders die.

Simply Betty Stamps - April Facebook Challenge

My entry to the Simply Betty Facebook Challenge. Got this image free as long as I made something for the challenge. Well here it is. They wanted to see ribbon and swirls too. Well I have used both, just. Don't know why I used gold, but I'm liking it anyway. The papers are a download from Sweet Shoppe Designs - Here without you by Krystal Hartley. These seem to be my new favourites. A couple of MFT die flowers and a Cheery Lyn die mini flourish and a few wee pearls in the centre of the flowers.

The Sugar Bowl 100 again

My second entry into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where they have an anything goes theme. I am also entering it into their Facebook Challenge where they have a colour challenge going on. The papers are First Edition - New Leaf, and the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley. The flower die is Marianne Design and the flourish is Cheery Lynn. And of course the image is from Sugar Nellie -Lei La.

The Sugar Bowl #85 2nd entry

My second entry into The Sugar Bowl, this time using the optional extra - shades of violet. This is a colour I really don't use much, don't know why cos I'm kinda likin it. The papers are from Pink Petticoat and the sentiment is from Whimsy stamps. The flourish thingy is a Cheery Lyn die - well part of it anyway, it kinda fell apart when pulling it out - oops. I punched the wee Butterflies and added a wee crochet flower that I had forgotten about. The doodling around is something I started and now images seem bare without it. But I do try hard not to do it sometimes. I'm also entering it into Sugar Nellie's Facebook challenge which is Die cuts and/or Doodling.

The Sugar Bowl #64

Thought I had better get a move on with my card for the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. They give you longer - well it just takes me longer to make it. It isn't really how it started out to be. I coloured my Sugar Nellie Pip image and started cutting the paper for a 5" card. Oops - image is a bit too big for that. So I was gonna print more out, but lay ed it onto the 6" card and thought I would give it a go using that bit. It's not how I usually end up, but think I might just have to try it again. The papers are Sweet shoppe Designs by Zoe Pearn. I added a bit of lace and a doily cut from a cheery Lyn design die. I couldn't find the sentiment stamp I wanted, so left it for now. I don't know if I will add one later - probably not. I chose the bright colours for the Sugar Nellie Facebook challenge, which is summery yellows and oranges.
