Baby look at you now!

Many thanks to everyone who left kind comments for me about the loss of my cat, Jenny. They are really appreciated.

It's Daring Card Making time again and this week the dare is:

Say it in "Sepia"

This was perfect timing for the card I needed to make for my Great Aunt whose birthday is next week, she is one of those relatives who really appreciates my home made cards and I had this cute scan of a photograph of her as a small child on the beach. Now as she will be 89 on her birthday, you can imagine how rare a photo like this would be! Inside the card is an insert with a photo of her as she is now.

Background: download from Stampington
Text paper: K&Co Verbena
Watch image: Last Door Down the Hall
Vintage Lace/flowers/brads etc : from my stash

Oops forgot to say that I used Kathy Black's latest sketch (#17 ) for this card.

Bubbly Scrumptious Weekly Challenge - Vehicles

I was just soooo pleased when I checked out this week's Bubbly Scrumptious challenge because I made this card last week for another challenge but when I read it again, I realised it wasn't going to fit the criteria after all! I knew that something would come up soon that was just right for this card but I didn't expect it to be so soon :D

The background has been distress inked over some Tim Holtz stencilly things, printed papers are digital downloads from Funky Hand, vintage accounts paper is from Stampington and the vintage image is from Art Freebies. The 'One Way' stamp is from Paper Artsy and the key came from a freebie stamp on Craft Stamper. The wooden car was a present from one of my boys, don't remember which, to his dad.

DCM Shaped Card

The Daring Cardmakers have thrown out a challenge to make a shaped card, so here is mine.


It's my MIL's birthday tomorrow and we are getting her a new chair as she is having some difficulty getting out of the one she has at the moment. When I saw this template at Stampington, I knew it was ideal. I printed the template, cut it out and copied it onto the lilac card, because my printer wont take card, after I had cut it out of the card, I stamped all over it with the Inkadinkadoo stamp I have with all the herbs on it. I made the 'cushions' from the 'Simply Fabulous' Making Memories paper pad cut with decorative scissors.
