Fancy Folds

As well as trying to keep ahead of Christmas production this year, I'm making quite a few Birthday cards, my nieces birthdays are in Mar/Apr and I make cards for them from quite a few family members!

I think this card will be from me though - it's kinda expected now that my cards to them have cats on them, and this is one such cutie that I think they will love!

My card uses a lovely Gorjuss Girl image, coloured with Promarkers, Basic Grey paper, an LOTV sentiment tag and die cut flowers.

Femo must have known it was a cat card!

WoW Gorjuss Girl

Another white on white (WoW) card here, this time using my Gorjuss Girl & following the Sugar Bowl sketch.

Cuttlebug folders were once again out in force along with my Promarkers & a paper doily.

Challenges;

Sugar Bowl - Their sketch + buttons
MAWTT - Anything Goes
I Love Promarkers - No design papers
Crafty Creations - White space
For Fun Challenges - Earth Friends - Recycled ribbon from sheets purchased.
Party Time Tuesday - Anything Goes.

PS Why is it that as soon as you upload a card, you think, ooh something's not quite right? This time, I felt the top right was a bit empty hence the late addition flower!

Gorjuss Sitting

This is my niece Eilidh's favourite stamp - it was on last year's birthday card in yellow & it HAD to be on this years too, but in pink!

Hope she likes it. I've coloured ir with Promarkers then added punched flowers, lace & a sentiment and everything is backed onto Bearly Mine Designs digi paper which I printed at the beginning of the week.

This card is for the Sugar Bowl Challenge which was to use their sketch along with pink. Jx

PS The charm was a late addition which I thought about this afternoon - fills a gap nicely!

Cat's Card

This card is for Catriona - although she doesn't know it yet! It's made using that Gorjuss Girl stamp again along with some Doodlebug paper & a recycled CD off the front of a computer mag - hope nobody wanted it!!!

Anyway this card is for 3 challenges, it follows the sketch in Friday Sketchers and it also reuses the CD, & recycling was the challenge this week at Allsorts & finally it's certainly girlie which is the challenge over on Top Tip Tuesday. Jx

Gorgeous Girl

Sorry if this pic is a bit dark, but you loose all my embossing detail with the flash on. This card was made using the layout for this weeks Sugar Bowl Challenge.
It's also Red, which is the colour of choice in the Moving Along With The Times challenge. It also takes inspiration from the Simply Create board which amongst other things also featured, love & red.

& Finally the red & rose connection ties in nicely with the inspirational challenge over on Crafty Creations set on the Burns poem, My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose. Jx

Gorgeous Girl

I had to buy this stamp, as it's my niece Eilidh's absolute favourite. Normally I do her with blonde hair just like Eilidh, but this time I've gone for black, in keeping with the black/white + 1 other colour theme for the Sugarbowl Challenge. As always, we have a great layout to follow with this challenge too.

I'm also entering this one into the I Love Promarkers Challenge which this week is anything goes.

Finally this card can also go into the My Partner in Crafting Crime challenge, where their challenge too is black/white + one other.
