Spotty Birthday

Good morning all!

I'm just here to blog a card I have very quickly made for a birthday today.

I have simply used up a little piece of spotty Back to Basics paper I had on my desk, and added a ribbon, a Pink Petticoat sentiment (freebie from a mag) and a Martha Stewart butterfly. I have made it to follow the sletch at Less Is More this week.

I have just dropped Keiran off for his first day at pre-school, and surprisingly, no tears! Well, not from him anyway! ;)

Doesn't he look smart in his first ever uniform?! 

Ok, time for me to go to work...see you all later!

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Good Morning!

I have been sat here making a card with dye on my hair this morning lol! I really wanted to enter the sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge this week, and so I decided to do it this morning. Unfortunately, the collection is closed! :( I thought it would close tomorrow or later today but no, it already is! Oh well...here is the card anyway....

I have used another gorgeous Pollycraft image from the Swings 'n Slides collection, and coloured with Promarkers. the papers are Back to Basics, and the ribbon is from my stash. The sentiment is from Personal Impressions. The flowers are Prima.

So here are the challenges I am entering it into.....

Pollycraft - Warm It Up
Stamptacular Sunday - Seeing Spots

Thanks for popping by today!

EDIT - Well I got it into Sweet Sketch Wednesday after all! :) And guess what? I GOT TOP 3!! :)

Pollycraft Birthday

Here is another one for today......it is 'recycle week' at Pollycraft, so here are the bits I've recycled for this card......

The card was one I was printing out for a friend's invites but the printer ran out of ink but didn't stop to tell me, lol, so I ended up with about 10 that didn't print right, so I'm using the back of them for any white bits I need for cards......waste not, want not! The ribbon is from the shoulder of a t-shirt and the buttons are collected/donated since I started cardmaking! Here is the card......

The image is Pollycraft and The Papers are Back To Basics, mounted on the re-used card.. I have coloured my digi with Promarkers and used the largest Scalloped Circle Nestie on which to mount her (using the recycled card!). I then finished with my button and ribbon, and a Papermania sentiment. I went for Birthday rather than good luck (4 leafed clover) as I don't seem to have a good luck stamp!

Hope you like it! I am entering it into the following challenges......

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Recycle

I Love Promarkers - Sketch

A Spoonfull Of Sugar - Happy Birthday

Divas By Design - Birthdays

TTFN! :)
