Cute Card Thursday # 24 Bright Colours

The challenge on Cute Card Thursday this week was to use bright colours.

I have left it a bit last minute but have managed to rustle this one up quite quickly using a sticker and my nesties. It does not show up very well in the picture but the black frame has been raised with foam pads and is quite effective.

Goodies I used - bug stickers by SEI, chunky alphabet by making memories, swiss dots CB folder, circle nesties, flower, ribbon and a button.

A Spoon Full of Sugar #13

This is the card for this weeks challenge on A Spoon Full of Sugar. The sketch was fun to do and I will certainly use it again.

Goodies I Used - Penny Black stamp 'neighbours', paper from K&Co pad 'small wonders boy', rectangle nesties, card and ribbon.

Another Secret Message

This is the happy mistake that I told you about below.

Goodies I used - Sweet Flower Girl stamp from the Stamp Boutique, paper by K&Co (used the bit with the name on), my new rectangle nesties, card and ribbon.

Nicky is Sixty

Here is the card I made for my brother-in-law. I find cards for men quite tricky to do and I almost ran out to the nearest Birthdays as I couldn't find anything suitable in my stash. Anyway this comical cave man came to my rescue and I hope Nicky sees the funny side.

Goodies I used - Little Adventurers 'no scissors required decoupage' (comes with 3 different ones on the sheet) and card.

'It's my turn (Becky) to host this week's challenge, so I issue a colour challenge. The challenge is to use pink, green, and blue. You may use any shades of those colours or multiple shades of those colours.'

That is this weeks challenge over on Stamp Something. It was the perfect excuse (as if we need an excuse) to use my new stamp 'Scarie' which I recently bought mail order from Stamposaurus. Check out their fab shop the link is over there. They have some very cute stamps and I may be tempted to buy more from their range.
