2 Cards from me today

Hello,
I know I have been a bad blogger again and I am sorry, but I have been really busy, I promise! Hubby has spent a couple of days in hospital with kidney stones again (stressful to say the least, for all concerned) and I have also been Very Busy getting ready for Saturdays Craft show.

So anyway to make up for it I have 2 cards to share with you today!

First up is a very simple card, this is another one for my mum, she gave it to my elderly Aunt. It uses the lovely DSP from the sweet pea paper stack, It is so pretty it really needed very little added to make a lovely card,

sentiment from oval all,

I added lashings of crystal effects to the butterfly to highlight it,

and another blurry inside picture, not sure why the inside ones are like this lately?!

anyway, you get the idea ;-)

Now, the second card for you today is a bit different from what I usually make... but I do like it,

It uses Bella Toile with the scallop edge punch, some yummy Red Satin ribbon (great for nice big, lush bows)

and finally an arty angle showing the layers. Buttons along the bottom and sentiment again from Oval All.

Well, that's all from me today, I hope you like what I have shared with you today and thanks for bearing with me this week, please do leave a comment of you have time :-)

Bye for now, Hugs Sarah-Jane xxx

Happy Fathers Day !!!

Morning all,

Hope all is well with you, We did breakfast in bed for Neil this morning, I knocked up some scotch pancakes for him and we all sat on the bed and shared them! This has become a bit of a tradition in our house. What did you guys do?

Anyway onto today's card...I have got the Fathers Day card I made for FIL to share with you . I have used the papers which Siobhan sent us for our challenge for this one, loving these papers! I used a Penny Black image tho as he isn't into Golf or Fishing and those were the images which were included in the kit originally. I will use these another day :0) Forgot to say I used this weeks mojo sketch for this card.

Isn't this dog sweet? I coloured him using pro markers and inked all the edges with distress ink to give a vintage feel to the card. Ribbon was also from Siobhan.
I also used the oval all stamps and matching punches (love these in case you hadn't noticed!!) The Happy Fathers Day inside is from the very handy Occasional Greetings set.

Last of all I thought I would share with you the card my kids made for their dad! L-R Josh, Zack and Zoe. All made on their own helped only by each other (Zoe is a dab hand with the cuttlebug!! )

Well that's all folks! Hope you have a nice rest of the day, we are off out to Paultons as Peppa Pig is there this weekend and she is Zack's absolute favourite! Will share some photos with you soon,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xx

Saturdays class sneek peek!

Hello folks!

Hope you are all doing well today, it's just started to rain here :0( but we have been out in Hythe this morning, Zack was charming the ladies in the cafe! lol!

Anyway here I have the first one of the cards we will make on Saturday at my "Lads and Dads" class, I am really looking forward to this class as I have so many ideas for men's cards with just one or two stamp sets!

For today's card I have used a card blank from CWC and the rest is SU! choc chip dsp {included in the paper share}, matching choc chip card, ribbon and ink, very vanilla ribbon, bashful blue ink used on the shrink plastic (loving shrink!) and Oval all and Schoolbook Serif Alphabet. Punches used are oval and scalloped oval and not forgetting the scallop edge.

Here is a fancy shot to show the layers. Well I still have a couple of places left for Saturday so if you are near please, don't be shy and drop me a line, all contact details in the side bar.

Edit to say: I'm entering this card into Crystals Fathers day contest which has a blue and brown theme, Hope you don't mind I cheated a little by using this one :0)

Happy Tuesday (only 4 days 'till the l-o-n-g weekend ;0) yay!)

Come back tomorrow for another sneak peak,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xx

Best Wishes

Morning,

First of all I must apologise for being such a bad blogger this last few days, unfortunately I just haven't got any mojo and I just sit and look at it all!!!! Anyway I am going to look up a couple of sketches today and see if I can find my missing mojo.

I did make one card last week which I haven't posted yet. I used my lovely Miss Anya stamps and matched it to some lovely DCWV papers called Nana's Kitchen, mmmm yummmy! I also used Real red ribbon, oval all stamps and punches and Linen thread to tie it to the ribbon.

Well, I'm off to do a bit of mojo hunting !!

Have a good day,

Hugs Sarah-Jane xx
