Floral card...

My first card using my new Royal Horticultural Society CD by Joanna Sheen.  I wanted a floral birthday card and somehow ended up with an everyday card for my box.  Ah well the birthday card can be made another day.  I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers for my layout.  Had to tweek it a little as I haven't got an oval die or punch for the sentiment.
My card is also for the challenges at ...

• Cute Card Thursday - Blooming Gorgeous.
• Alphabet Challenge - New - my CD is new
• Dutch Dare - Summer in Winter

Another free day today - bliss - can't decide how to spend the day, but whatever I do I'm sure it will be great.  Hope your day is fantastic too.

More Pink and more of Robin's Digis...

This card was made using another of Robin Willis's amazing digi images.  How cute is this?  I absolutely love the sleep suit image complete with rock motive and sentiment that says 'Eat, Sleep, Rock'. 
I used the amazing sketch from the new challenge at Sketch and Stash.  I love their sketches as they are always so easy to interpret and yet give stunning results (even in my hands).
My digi was printed on to white card and then very bravely (that gingham card is pretty thick) I printed the image again on to the pink gingham card, which enabled me to paper piece the image.  A spare white image provided the skull and the bow was coloured using a pink Promarker.
My card is also for the challenges at...

• Crafty Creations - Celebrate (think the birth of a baby counts!)
• Simon Says - New Baby
• C.R.A.F.T. - paper piecing

Have a fantastic day again everyone.  Mine has got to be better than yesterday.  After travelling nearly 3 hours (3 buses with half hour waits at bus stops inbetween) I arrived at my First Aid course to find I was the only one there and was at the wrong place.  The moral of the story is when your manager tells you where a course is being held ensure she puts it in writing and then double check with the venue to be on the safe side.  On the positive side I did have a brilliant book by Cathie Glass with me so once on the buses I was a happy reading bunny.

Pink Elephant Day...

 

This week at The Pink Elephant our theme is PINK and I've gone for HOT PINK as my card is going to be a Valentine card for Laura and as everyone knows she loves pink.  Infact we have just decorated her bedroom in this very shade.

The fantastic image on my card is by my incredibly talented friend and team mate, Robin Willis.  Robin has designed some amazing circular digis which can be bought at Squigglefly.  I really love each and everyone of them as they are just so easy to use.  Check out the Robin Willis collection at...

I'm 100% sure you will love what you see.  Also as Squigglefly are sponsoring our challenge this week you may want to get out your pink pens and papers and enter our challenge.  There is a great prize on offer.

Have a fantastic first day of February everyone.  I'm doing my First Aid training today so that should be fun.  Shame it wasn't last Monday though before my 91 year old Auntie poured a mug of hot tea over herself right infront of me.  Think I did the right thing though (applied cold water) and she seemed to be okay.
