Take note

Hello lovely people,

I am so excited that I can finally announce that I am now part of the Top Tip Tuesday DT; check out my gorgeous badge...

So, today is my first challenge with the team and our theme is...

HERE COMES SUMMER

We are very kindly sponsored by Bugaboo so I used one of their cute images to make a little post-it note holder.

 It's a really simple design using nice thick Kraft card for the cover and I popped a square of the spotty card inside to make it look nice inside and out!

Card recipe;
Image: Ladybug hello - Bugaboo
DP: Dottie card set 1 - Anna Marie Designs
Twine: Ivory button twine - The Ribbon Girl

Copic colours;
Ladybird: R27/29/46 & N8/9/10
Butterfly: Y15/17/19 & YR16

I hope you will pop over to Top Tip Tuesday and check out the fabulous creations and of course, the top tips from the rest of the team.  I hope you can join in for a chance to win 7 free digi stamps of your choice from Bugaboo :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Hugs,

A little note

Hello lovely people,

I have slightly lost track of what day it is as I have had a couple of days off work and been with Dr Hubby to visit his aunt in Essex.  We were able to visit RHS Hyde Hall AND Beth Chatto's garden while we were there so I took away much inspiration and a few plants ;-)

Back at home I have been catching up visiting my friends in blogland and I would like to say hello to my new followers - I am so honoured that you chose to follow me and hope you enjoy my creations :-)

So, now I have got my head round the fact that it is Saturday, it must be time for a new challenge at Totally Gorjuss and this week our theme is...

Die Cuts and/or Punches

We are sponsored this week by Heather's Hobbie Haven and it is just that, a haven for all crafters and especially for the lucky winner of our challenge!

I have made really simple post-it note holder and covered all the bases with both die cuts (manual and electronic) and punches!

Apart from the pearls I tried to keep this fairly flat so it would actually be practical to use.

Here is a little shot of the inside, which, as you can see, I kept really simple as it isn't going to be particularly visible and of course, it has to be able to close properly!

Card recipe;

DP: Kaisercraft - Tigerlilly

Scalloped edge: Magnilia DooHickey Die (Tilda lace)

Flowers: cut with Cricut

Swirl: Marianne Designs Die (Anja's Vintage Swirls)

Butterflies: a very old nameless punch!

Seam binding / pearls: from Wild Orchid Crafts

I would like to enter this card in the As You Like It Challenge where they want to see your fave ribbon/twine - mine is seam binding because it is so pretty and comes in so many lovely colours.

I hope you have time to pop over to Totally Gorjuss and see the lovely creations from my teamies;  there is quite a bit of pink this week... totally unplanned but who doesn't love a bit of pink?!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a lovely weekend; I will be dividing my time between my craft room and the garden :-)

Hugs,
Kat xx
