Aunty Jean's Birthday Card

ETA: This card was spotlighted over at SCACD Friends

I got a wee bit of money for my birthday ... used to be I'd put it towards new clothes or shoes.  Not now .... this time I blew the lot on some lovely new papers!  Hee hee!  This gorgeous summery DP is from Echo Park, and luckily enough I had a perfect match in plain pink!  And just in case this wasnn't summery enough, I punched out some mini flowers and added loads of bling!  Coloured my little SCACD girl with a mixture of copics and promarkers.

• Paper Sundaes #73 - girly girl

Deirdre's Birthday card

It's not very often that I make a card that I love .... but this is one of them!  I found this DP which has been knocking round my stash for a couple of years, and for some reason it just inspired me this time!  This is for a friend who is never off the phone so the little SCACD image is just perfect for her!  Coloured with promarkers and popped up on dimensionals.  I added loads of pink stickles for some sparkle and glossed the telephone and her ruby lips.

• I flipped the sketch from Papertake Weekly #56
• Cute Card Thursday #167 - embellish your main image (I used stickles and clear gloss)
• Paper Sundaes #72 - add a sentiment (I'm hoping that 'Happy Birthday' counts as a sentiment?)
• Wee Memories #59 - anything goes

On the phone... version 2

I had another go at using my Whimsy ticket die on this second card, and also the Whimsy Wish List stamp.  The rose ribbon is oldie stuff from my stash and my DP (Papermania) has been knocking round my box for a couple of years now!  Coloured with mixture of copics and promarkers, and bling coloured to match.

• Sketch from Sketch Saturday #147
• Simon Says Stamp ... Birthday
• Paper cutz #83 - anything goes
• CES #28 - inspired by a song ... what about 'Hanging on the Telephone' by Blondie for this one!
• Let's Ink It Up #11 - dies / punches

On the phone .... Version 1

Its been a bit of a damp overcast day, so no fence painting today ... hooray (don't think my wee hands would have stuck another day of it without needing a serious manicure!!)

So instead I had a bit of a play with this lovely stamp from Victoria Case for SCACD .... stay tuned for another version!!   Coloured with Promarkers and I doodled my curly border to match the telephone wire.  And I used my little Whimsy tickets/dies (that I just 'had to have', but for some reason I find very difficult to use!!!)

• Sketch from Sketch'n Stash #57
• Colour combo from The Play Date Cafe #73
• Charisma Cardz #11 - use die cuts
• Papertake Weekly - Trio Tastic (I used 3 x flowers)

Hanging on the Telephone!

Yippee for Friday evening ... definately has to be one of the best times of the week!  (....apart from Sunday lunch at Mum's! hee hee!)  We've no plans for the weekend .... if it's a decent day tomorrow I'll get the paving out in the back garden power hosed, but it's looking like rain so I might just have a nice wee crafty day instead!

There's loads of 'green' challenges out there this week for St Paddy's Day so I had a wee play with my new SCACD stamp (I loitered too long at Crystal's blog admiring this gorgeous card, and before I knew it I'd been shopping!  oops!)  I also used some of these pretty flowers that Jo kindly sent me .. thanks Jo!
ETA: coloured my image with promarkers and added some white dots to match the flowers
