365 Cards Day 107, Papertake Weekly, Sketches by Tamara, Paper Blooms & Paperplay

This card has been made primarily for the 365 girly challenge for today but I have also incorporated 4 other challenges into it. They are as follows:-

• 365 Cards Day 107 - Make a girly card and include the word 'girl' on it
• Papertake Weekly - Shoe Time
• Sketches by Tamara - SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT sketch #100
• Paperplay #21 - Use your materials in an unexpected way
• Paperblooms #11 - Use at least 3 blooms

I received a feedblitz email this morning with the scrapbook layout sketch from Tamara and thought it would be great as a card and then I had another email from Elegant Word Art and Bethany had produced 2 girlfriend themed files to fit in with a freebie Blog Hop that Scrap Orchard have where there is a full kit to collect from various members blogs. I thought it was perfect for the 365 card and it all spawned from there.

The majority of the materials are from a Paper Cellar 8 x 8" scrapbook kit which is pinks, purples handbags and shoes..... the use of a scrapbook kit and the scrapbook layout I thought would fit in with the Paperplay challenge (at a pinch!)

I have added some extra bling courtesy of Paperchase and some paper flowers which were a freebie from a magazine. The sqaure on the background are tile shapes from a Papermania caddy.

Mother in Law's Double Challenge Card

It's my MIL's birthday on Friday 13th (argggh) and totally unlike me I haven't left it till the last minute to make her card.

The forum challenge this week is to make a card using a Penny Black animal. I have used a Stickeroo and picked the colour from the daisies for the papers and embellishments.

This card was also made using Sketch # 21 from Just Christmas & Birthday Cards. I have been lurking there for a while but this is the first card I have made for it.

The paper is DCWV, the flowers are Prima, Papermania brad, gorgeous bobbly trim, chipboard circles Paper Cellar with DCWV cardstock sticker letters. The sentiment is a seal I made using the seal generator site. 

Well that's the card done, just need to sort a pressie out for her now!

CPS 100 - Pick Your own

Wow, its 100 weeks of CPS sketches and this week we are to pick our favourite from the last 99 so plenty to choose from there!

This card is made using sketch 95 which I was originally going to do for a Christmas card, but this one has worked out really well.

I absolutely love butterflies, I even have one tattooed on my shoulder. This 3d element was a freebie from the latest Docrafts Creativity magazine. How lush are they?

The patterned paper'a are from the new Scrumptious range from Papermania and I have accented the hearts with a clear Sakura glitter pen. The glitter circle and flowers are from Papercellar
