Summer time cards

With the lovely weather over the last few days its nice to make some summer time bright and cheerful cards. The picture doesn't do it justice, it is bright in 'real life'.

I used a Sugarnellie image with doodlebug papers and ribbon trim, prima flowers. The image is coloured with Copics.

I have some cards in issue 15 of the latest Creativity magazine, one even made the front cover!!! Although it does look like some of my cards are made by someone else as they are on the page under the lady from Hallmark's name, which I was sort of told about before I did them but didn't expect it to look like she made them. Unfortunately this will be the last of my work in Creativity for a while due to work commitments.

Sugar Nellie CAS Card

Over on the sugarnellie blog Karen set a challenge to make a CAS (clean and simple) card with a sugar nellie stamp, so here is my try at it, its not my usual multi layered patterned papers over embellished type of card but I like it all the same!

I used Carefree stamp coloured with whispers pens mounted it on foam pads to a white card that I embossed at the bottom with a cuttlebug border embossing folder and cut round, added some purple papermania card underneath it and Anita's ribbon across it.

I have been tagged by Becky Lee, Pauline C, Helen and Vicky.

The rules are: go to "Pictures" on your PC, select the 6th album and the 6th picture, upload it to your blog and explain what its about, then select 6 people to do the same!

So here is my 6th picture, its my brothers dog Tilly, she is my most favorite thing in the world, I love her to bits and would love to steal her from him! Isn't she so cute!!!!

I am going to pass it on to Elaine, Amanda, Gina G, Michele, Kelly and Jan

I have also received this award from Gina G, Lyndsey Marie...

...and this award from Aardvark pest

Thanks so much girls its really appreciated. I am going to pass it on to the same people as I tagged so Elaine, Amanda, Gina G, Michele, Kelly and Jan

Sugar, Sugar, Sugar

Here is my card for this weeks Sugarbowl Challenge, this weeks challenge is 3 and you can only use 3 different patterned papers and 3 different types of embellishments. If you use 3 different Sugar Nellie stamps you get 2 entries.

The embellishments I chose to use are flowers, buttons and ribbon. The stamps I used are Cheddar, Braveheart and Pringle from the soft centres range.

This is the front:

And the back:

The papers are by k&co. I cut the swirls on my slice and with a sizzix die, I didn't count them as embellishments as you are allowed to use coloured card and I cut them from coloured card. The sentiments I did in MS Picture It! Publishing.

And some close ups:

Sugar Bowl Challenge

Great News!

Wow I cant quite believe I've been chosen as a future guest member of the Sugar Nellie Design Team! I'm so excited and had to read and re-read the post several times to check it was me! Well done to all the other ladies who were chosen.

No card to upload again today as I no longer have a camera to use :(

Thanks for stopping by!

Second post of the day.

I just wanted to upload this card I made with my new stamp from Funky Kits designed by Elisabeth Bell called Pen Pal, water coloured with whispers. The paper is Homespun by A Tanabe and was downloaded a while ago, unfortunately i cannot find a link for it now. Flowers are Primas, the charm is from an old bracelet.

I think it needs a sentiment on the bottom left corner but cant decide what to put so will wait until I have a use for it and then decide what to put there.
