Friday Sketchers #26 & Arty Girlz Recycle challenge

Although not a card maker, my daughter now understands the need to save bits and pieces for me. The pink mesh on this card was from a fabulous bouquet of flowers that she received from her husband on their anniversary! She knows I like to recycle things!

The sketch is from Friday sketchers.. I think the whole thing is missing something, I think I'll probably add a sentiment somewhere or other!

What do you think?

PS The postman just knocked on my door and my Martha Stewart punches have arrived....Yippeeee!!!!!

Sketch Saturday Challenge & Stamp Something - Something for the birds

Why is it that when one is retired, there's never time for anything! I've just realised that I haven't posted anything for a week!

Last weekend was the baptism of our granddaughter Daisy. She was so well behaved it was magic. Admired by all and passed around amongst family and friends, she put on a real show... however I think that she was a little cranky with her mummy in the evening when we'd all gone home!

This is a double challenge card, the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the theme from the Stamp Something challenge.

I used my new Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder for the first time and a Fiskars border punch on this one, but can't wait for my Martha Stewart punches to arrive.

SBS22 Secret Sister goodies!

Look what the postman brought from my secret sister in SBS22!

Thank you SO much sister!

ABC Challenge M - Men ~ Papertake Weekly Challenge #13

A card for a chap!

My contribution for the ABC Challenge.

I used this Papernation stamp for a card for an ex-rugby playing friend not long ago and he was thrilled with it. So out it has come again!

My interpretation of the Papertake sketch has (I've just noticed) got an element missing, however I don't expect that the recipient of the card will send it back to complain!

Thanks for looking!
