It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls

 Carol Mc is Hosting this weeks challenge at

Just Us Girls

and chose such a cute and sweet photo

with so many ideas to run with.

I know there will be amazingly cute cards with bunnies abounding

so I went a different direction picking up on the pretty flowers.

Maybe I am the only one without that cute Bunny/Puppy!

I saw a card I liked on Pinterest that appealed to me

as I had stamps similar from SU.

Background stamp is Dark Room Door

and others - SU Because I Care and Nature's Walk.

Sponged the edges and coloured images

with Lindy's Magicals.

Sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers.

Added some cord and adhered to coloured card base.

Head over to see what the Team chose to showcase.

There's lots of lovelies there.

Now it's your turn to share yours in our Gallery.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for visiting.

What's YOUR Favourite Pet?

 Sistah Debbie has chosen the Theme for our Challenge at

The Sisterhood of Crafters and wants to see

Our Favourite Pet.

My favourite would have to be a Blue Heeler

as we have always had them on the farm

but I went with my Favourite Dog instead.

You Guessed it! A Scottie Dog in all it's traditional glory.

I decided to go with a not too fancy fun fold card.

I used Designer Papers from Boofle,

a friend brought back from London many years ago

(and I use it sparingly)

My Scottie Dog is die cut from Marianne Designs

 adding black gesso for his hair.

I embossed the inside and have left it vacant

so I can add a sentiment at a later time.

There's some cute dog cards from the Sistah's over on Our Blog.

Pop over and check them out.

We'd love to see yours there.

Thanks for taking a peek at mine.

In the Pink!

 Just a really quick post today as I am trying to

 beat the clock and get my card in the Gallery

 for the New Kids on the Blog - 

Can You Handle The Pressure?

Their first Challenge is

AG Embossing with a Twist of Pink

I have gone with the Retired Manhatten Flower 

Embossing Folder from SU

I added Lindy's Alpine Ice Rose and Oom Pah Pah Pink

and a hint of Nuvo Golden Sparkle

to the inside and sprayed with water

then layed my w/c paper down and

ran it through my machine.

I have already done this technique recently

and will see it in a few weeks.

I then fussy cut and attached in front of

two other folders from

Darice and again from SU.

Popped my Manhatten Flower

Added a sentiment  from STAMPlorations

and Petal Pink Liquid Pearls to complete.

Thanks for visiting

See you again real soon.

Another MerryChristmas Card

 It's time again for our New Challenge over at

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge

and again I have gone CAS and ideal for posting purposes.

Unfortunately the background stamping 

didn't come through enough on the photo.

(and that often happens)

I stamped numerous snowflakes

on red card stock with VersaMark Ink

then die cut my Spellbinder snowflakes

and sentiment with Metallic Galaxy Glitter paper

which doesn't show up here

adding Cool Diamonds around the sentiment

for a bit of sparkle and pearls on the snowflakes.

Attached to white card base.

Head over and see what the Team created

and join in by adding yours to our Gallery.
