Creative Card Crew challenge

Hi, hope everyone is having a good Sunday. This is my entry for week 3 of the Creative card crew challenge, this week the challenge was to use 'warm colours'. I chose to use Kay Miller 'Its a spring thing' papers, there are some gorgeous designs in this set. The embossed card is coredinations and is embossed on my cuttlebug, with a Fiskars embossing template 'whimsy'. The main image and the sentiment were a freebie on the Do crafts creativity magazine. The flowers are stamped from Clare Curds signature range 'Doodles'. The ribbon was from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by.
Love Wendy x x x

pink elephant challenge


This is my entry into this weeks Pink elephant challenge No 7, this week its a sketch challenge by Robin. I'm not all that thrilled with my card b to be honest, you know how some days things just don't seem to fall into place, well yesterday was one of them. Anyway I'll submit it any how.




I received a new cuttlebug back from the site I bought it from today, so this was an ideal sketch to play with, I embossed the pink Corediantions card with my cuttlebug and a fiskars embossing folder 'whimsy', the scalloped card is papermania, and the paisley stamp is Claire Curds signature range, ribon from stash and pink pearly doodles.




Thats it from me for today. Have a good Wednesday. Hopefully see you again with another challenge tomorrow.


Bye for now Wendy

Just wanted to share my new toy with everyone, my lovely hubbie treated me last week to a Cricut create machine, it is lovely and so much fun. I am just working it all out at the moment and cutting everything in sight.....lol....the card I have added is not for any particular challenge, it was just one I did after playing with my Cricut and cut the purple mats, I think they are great. I think you will be seeing a lot more Cricutty things on this blog!!!..

Stampin' Chic challenge blog



Hi this is my first entry for the Stampin' chic challenge blog and I really enjoyed making this card, wasn't to sure for a bit and then it just came together. The challenge this week is limited supplies, only allowed to use one piece of paper. Quite hard actually with so many to choose from!!! (Don't let my husband hear me say that!)..;-)..the paper is a gorgeous digital design from Kay Millar, the paper pack is called Midnight in the garden, they are simply gorgeous, you should go take a look for yourselves. The card stock is papermania scalloped card. The stamp is form the Clare curd signature range and is the stampin' chic party set. These stamps are so funky and modern. Stamp is paper pieced and coloured with prismas and sansador. Ribbon from local haberdashery and brads from stash. Dots on scallops lilac pearly doodles.
Well thats enough of my rabbling, have a wicked Tuesday and see you soon.
Hugs Wendy xx

First sketch challenge!!


Well here is my first attempt at a sketch challenge for the 'pink elephant' challenge. Sorry about the poor picture quality, I was excited about getting it on here tonight and I'm unfortunately not David Bailey (as you may already have gathered).....the challenge is pink, green and brown, I have used all of these even thought the pink is hard to see.
I used Basic grey papers 'eva' and 'sultry', the image is from the new 'daisy and dandelion' range. This particular one is from the 'bubbles' and 'squeak' set as is the border. I think they are just gorgeous and tremendous value for money.
The ribbon was from my stash.
Well I hope my first attempt is ok and I look forward to some feedback.
See you soon Wendy x
This is only my second post and not sure I am doing it right....my main reason for creating this blog was to join in with the sketch challenges so I am going to have a go at one tonight. Hopefully will put the picture up tonight or maybe tomorrow.
