2 cards for 4 challenges!!!!


Good morning everyone, what a glorious day it is. The sun is shining and I am in a good mood. Have managed to get most programmes back on my laptop and things seem to be working fine. I am so thankful that I had an external hard drive.
So, onto a couple of cards to show you. These are for the lady at work I was telling you about earlier in the week - all 3 girls have now got a card made :o)


Seeing as I was a little naughty yesterday and used my DT card for a couple of challenges I have decided to try and redeem myself and use these cards for some challenges. I am entering this card for Basic Grey whose theme is 'mix it up' . I have used papers from 'Bittersweet' and 'Sugared' paper packs so hopefully this counts.



Here is a closer look at the pretty Melinda blowing Kisses (Whiff of Joy) that I coloured with my prismas.Lots and lots of glamour dust for that bit of sparkle that I do love. The yummy flowers, spacers and brads are from Poppicrafts (link on sidebar) and my big gem brad is one from the new multipacks by Trimcrafts .... all of them are lush (and sparkly!!). Name tag made on computer and the ribbon and heart gems were from my stash.




Onto my second card for today (yes ..... I did say second!!) and one of my favourite colour combos at the moment. Circles are the theme for this weeks One stop craft challenge so just had to include this cutie!


I love these papers from Papermania's 'Scrumptious' pack so much, they are just so pretty. Yet more glamour dust (my whole house now sparkles!!) and another computer generated tag. Flowers, brads and spacers from Poppicrafts, primas and Dovecraft. Coloured as always with my prisma pencils.



There are another 2 challenges that this card fit so entering it into the following ....
PTW ... Hearts and Flowers
CCT ... Metallica
There, hopefully I have redeemed myself again, lol, and am forgiven for being cheeky yesterday - hey, you gotta try!!!
Enjoy what is left of the weekend .... going to try and get another card done!
