A New Challenge Blog

A really quick post today as I am dashing about getting ready to go to my son's at Newark.

My husband, two sons and my son-in-law will then be going to Newark Beer Festival!

So I will get down to the main subject, which is the card I have made for a new challenge - Hidden Treasures, the theme for which was Pink & Brown. I have used the sketch from the Sketch and Stash Challenge so again it is two challenges and one card.

It is the first time I have used the tiny rosebuds so haven't managed to get them just right - as usual I was in a rush.

The stamp is Lili of the Valley and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The papers are from Pink Petticoat.

thank you for looking - back again after the weekend.

Hope you all have a lovely bank holiday - although it is raining at the moment here.

Just Cute Bears Challenge

Just another quickie post - I am having a quick break from making Wedding Invitations.
Here is my card for the Just Cute Bears Challenge.
I love this little teddy bear - and the colour combo.
Teddy, of course, is from Lili of the Valley (I have used him before) who have such cute stamps - I think I must have most of them.

Speaking of Teddies - I bought myself a little Irish Teddy whilst we were over there on holiday, he is cute as well. Well I suppose I had better get back to the invites. Thank you for looking

What is Happening!!!

I don't know what has happened to my computer but when I go into a new tab on the internet something has changed. It used to show pictures of various websites I had visited and I would just click on one of them to go to that website but now it just comes up with Google things.

Then Blogger came up different - not with the usual page and I couldn't find the settings or anything so I messed about and now my Norton seems to have disappeared.
It could be a long night!!

Well back to cards and here is one for Friday Sketchers - I have used their sketch - but I also used some dotty paper so I thought I would use a Penny Black Stamp and then it would do for Saturday's Penny Black Challenge as well.

The little mouse looks rather full doesn't he? Cutie.
Talking of cute - my grand-daughter came up yesterday with my daughter and my niece brought her two children as well. They are all so cute.
That's all for now, I will have to do a bit more messing about.
thank you for looking.

Lili of the Valley Challenge

Good Afternoon everyone.

Hasn't it been a fantastic weekend?? According to the weathergirl last night the weather is supposed to break tomorrow so we will wait and see.

I got my hanging baskets done yesterday so I can't wait to get them out because my greenhouse is rather crammed.

We had a barbecue both Saturday and Sunday, which was nice because my husband insists that it is a man's job to cook on the barbecue so that gave me a bit of a break. (I have just broken off from this post to go and check the pork chops I am grilling and I have burnt my finger!!!)

Anyway here is my card for the Lili of the Valley Challenge and I have to say that my husband actually liked it - which is quite unusual.

hope you like it too.

Two More Challenges

Just a very quick post to show you the card below which I started to make for the
Stamp with Fun Challenge - which was stripes - so I have used a bit of stripey paper.

I then thought I would combine it with Saturday's Penny Black Challenge which was flowers.
The DP has flowers on it and the image has a flower and I have put some roses on - so it has plenty of flowers.

The Papers are from Stampin Up and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
The image is, of course, Penny Black. Penny Black were my very first favourite stamps - they are so cute, and I love cute!!
have to dash.
thank you for looking
