Thank You Shabby Tea Room

I have received a Honorable Mention Cup of Tea at The Shabby Team Room  challenge (As Pretty as a Pitcher) for my tea pot card.  I really pleased so thank you very much.

They have a new challenge every week with some very inspiring projects from the Shabby Girls so hop over and take a look.

Lots of sun not enough ice cream

The weekend here in France has been lovely, very sunny with bright blue skies.  Fantastic weather for ice cream.

So here is a card to go with the weather:



I have used papers, digi stamp and sentiment from Pink Petticoat.  The papers can be found HERE but the Sweet Sundae set is no longer available.

I have coloured the ice cream with pro markers to look like mint choc chip.

I have also used an old cardboard box for the centre circle and put it through my Bigshot.

This card is for the CR84FN54 Color Challenge and A Gem of a Challenge week 46

Big Blue Congratulations

Here is a sweet card that my friend asked me to make for a new baby boy.  All the papers and digi stamps can be found HERE and HERE at Pink Petticoat.  I have used this layout before on a previous card but loved it so thought I would make another.


TSTR Week#113 - 'As pretty as a {Pitcher}

Its another fun and fabulous week over at The Shabby Tea Room. This weeks theme is Pretty as a {pitcher} and to include a rose and be inspired by colours in the photo below.

Here is my entry.


The Shabby Girls featured teapots in their cards so I thought why not make my card a teapot.  The backing papers are from Prima Natures Garden and I have cut the little butterfly from one of the papers and added some crackle accents to its markings.

The little cream roses I bought this week and were only 2€ and you got loads of little bouquets, so I pulled them apart to use.  I have then used Spellbinders rose creation die, added a organza flower and I have added some of the backing papers to it, to make the flower look fuller and a bit darker.

Something with a British theme?

Here is a little card I have put together and tried to give it a bit of British theme.  I just hope Jam roly poly is a British pudding.



The papers and recipe topper are all from Printable Heaven.  I just love the little jam pot.  I have used stamps from Prima Printery collection and the sweet wishes flag is from Pink Petticoat.



I am entering this card into the Cupcake Craft Challenge. and CR84FN colour challenge.

Challenge #27 Muted Pastels

Its another fun fortnightly challenge over at The Ribbon Reel and this weeks challenge is to create a card or project using the colour blue and the colours in the gorgeous inspiration photo below plus ribbon and a button.


Here is my entry:


I have used papers and digi stamp from Pink Petticoat which can be found HERE and HERE.
I have made a little flower using some of the papers along with some tissue paper and just scrunched it up and added a pink bow.  I have also added some buttons in colours to match the inspiration photo.


TSTR week #112 'Spring is Love'

I have been so busy that I didn't get to post much last week and I missed entering The Shabby Tea Room's weekly challenge but I have made sure I have entered this weeks.

This weeks theme is Spring is Love and Debbie is our wonderful host who has chosen the picture at the bottom for inspiration to create a card or project using polka dots,  flowers and a heart.

Here is my entry:



The digi stamp is from Pink Petticoat and so is the little sentiment flag. 
The green polka dot paper is from a free download from Do Crafts which can be found HERE and its called retail therapy.  The pink paper is also from Pink petticoat and I used a heart cookie cutter as a template.  I then added some lace and half a doily.
