Special celebrations!

Good Morning

I had such a lovely time with my French friends in the bush, that it took me a day or two to recover. But in my head I played with some ideas on a special birthday card. With a few help from some challenges this project came up. I've used a taupe cardstock with a golden undertone as base. The peach is from my stash. The images is from Penny Black's Hugs clear stamp. The taupe with flower glitter effect is from New Leaf by Mindy Terasawa, the scraplabel is from Marianne's design and embroid with silver thread, butterfly diecut from Spellbinder and corner diecut from cuttlebug. The lace, pearls and butterfly brad, coted with perfect pearl powder, are from the stash. The Outlawz colour challenge has a twist with something crochetted.....one technique I could not mastered, so I supported the local ladies club and bought this flower and some others.

Today's challenges I'm joining:

Guylou's Inimitability Challenge Blog 4/5/12 - Sketch

Thank you

My favourite.....

Hallo Everyone

From a very cold and unusual wet SA. Somehow, I had to brighten up the day so I played with some paper and came up with this card which I wanted to share with the following people:
- Penny Black at Allsorts's monthly challenge: Your my favourite
- 365 Cards day 99 It's my party: design a birthday card for yourself.
- Cupcake Craft Challenge Things with tails
- Mojo Monday 194 Sketch......my first time I join them.

I love red, white and green and the strawberries reminded me of summer in Europe with tennis at Wimbledon. The mice gives me a romantic feeling of which I am a sucker for.

Hope wherever you are....you have a splendid day full of love.

Thoughtful Froggie

A quick hallo on this Saturday morning

I've made a card for a friend far away who celebrates her birthday soon. I've joined the girls at Penny Black at Allsorts monthly challenge, who have the challenge of black & white + one. This froggie, from the toadily happy series seems as if he is day dreaming of greener pastures. To emphasise the sentiment I used Fiskars heart punch and finished it of with some ribbon and stones.

Have a warm Easter Saturday!
