Heart to Heart card

This card is for the Clean and Simple Sketch challenge this week. I love C&S cards and the sketches at this challenge site really help me get thinking. I have used the Cottage Wall papers and my CM mini heart punch.

Mother's Day Card

This is my very very simple Mother's Day card this year. Mother's Day in NZ is on May 9, so coming up in 2 weeks. Mum has seen all my cards, and I think I will surprise her with a simple one more than an elaborate one! Plus, I know that the clean image will appeal to her more than a fancy one.

This card is my entry for the Clean and Simple sketch challenge this week, and also the Pals Paper Arts challenge, which is to KISS - keep it simple sweetie. The Stamping Sisters in Christ challenge is to create a Mother's Day card, so it's also for that.

Cottage Wall Evening Dress

This is my entry for the Diva Coffee Break Designs sketch this week. I love the very feminine Cottage Wall papers, and they look perfect with the feminine, flowy dress.

I'm also entering it in the Hand Full of Stamps challenge, which is to use two pieces of DSP. In this card there are actually three, but only 2 on the dress!

The papers are Cottage Wall, the ink is Rich Razzleberry, the cardstock is Old Olive and Whisper White. The stamp is a lovely local one from Montarga in Christchurch.

I'm falling apart!

I've been a bit busy recently - headcold, a blood test which hopefully WON'T tell me I have an infection remaing from my ruptured appendix, plus a tooth managed to crumble this afternoon...

With all these things going on, I knew I had to spend an evening crafting. Now I'm posting the photos, and then BED!

You will certainly notice a lot of similarities between tonight's cards. I love my new set of Stampin Up papers... thank you Helen! (My partner in the crafting asylum). So pretty much all the materials for the following cards are Cottage Wall DSP, Rich Razzleberry cardstock and ink, Old Olive cardstock and ink.

Firstly, Our Creative Corner's sketch challenge 11.

Here is my take on Taylored Expressions' sketch this week. (109) This is my favourite of tonight's sketches, and I'm also entering the card into the challenge at Stampin Sisters in Christ. The theme is Flowers. Mine are autumny.

Lastly, here is my card for the Pals Paper Arts sketch 38.
