Here is This week's Papertake Challenge




and here is the card I have made. The only thing is I missed off the two embellishments at either side. I forgot about them until I had put the card together and didn't want to add them afterwards.




I asked my husband if he liked it because I wasn't too sure about it, and he said it was good but not the sort that he would buy. What do you think?
I would appreciate your comments if only to let me know that someone is actually looking at my blog!

Hi everyone,
It seems to have been a really busy week this week - I dont know why because I dont seem to have accomplished much.
I have had a go at a couple of cards that my friend Jenny has on her blog and they have turned out really good. They are the ones using the sage card stock.

It is my husband's birthday next Tuesday and I have made a card for him - I hope he likes it but his taste in cards is different from mine so I am not so sure.
I will post it on my blog after his birthday.

Below is this weeks Papertake Challenge Sketch



and this is my card - I know it is not quite as it should be but I thought it was near enough. I just love this Forever Friends Stamp.



Thank you to everyone who has posted comments and please keep looking.
thank you

First of all I would like to thank everyone who has left such lovely comments on my blog - I really appreciate it.

Today was the start of our rugby season - it was not a good start we lost at home to Hoyland Vikings.

I have spent the evening updating our website - Hipperholme Warriors - there is a link on the right of my blog but I did nip out for an hour or so to a neighbour's house - she was having a party for her daughter who is going to University in London in about a weeks time.

I made this little gift card for her. It is the same idea as the one I made for Katie (incidentally the girl going to University is called Katie as well) but just a different design on the front. The red strip of card is a belly band.

Before I started making cards I nearly always bought Andrew Brownsword cards so when I went to The Range and saw that they had some rubber stamps with the Forever Friends bear on them I just had to buy a Christmas set of them.

I had seen a lovely little card on Andrea Brownjohn's website under the heading "Cute Card Thursday 'Things That Grow' Challenge" and I thought my new stamp set would be ideal for trying out this card.

Here is my version.

and when you pull the tab at the top it looks like this

It's a really good idea, isn't it?

luv,

Eileen
