Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches and it’s a wonderful design this week friends! Seriously I had so many ideas for it!
In the end, I chose the beautiful Ginkgo Leaves die set from Simply Graphic which I colured with distress inks. I added a Hero Arts sentiment and a few baby sequins to complete by very quick CAS card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. When I saw this week’s sketch, I started thinking of a couple of oval dies that I thought would work perfectly! In the end, I chose the Memory Box Fairhaven Oval die which I coloured with my beloved Twinkling H2Os.
I added a few die cut butterflies from the Poppystamps Fern and Daisy Pop up Easel die set – I love how that set has so many different dies! The sentiment is a combination of two companies – Hero Arts and Whimsey Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 20 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the Christmas Card Throwdown challenge which has a theme of ‘pinecones’ and the Double Trouble Papercrafting challenge where the theme is Christmas in July with an optional Twist to add a bow.
I don’t have many pinecones, and certainly nothing big enough to act as a focal point on its own but I saw that a lot of the Christmas Card Throwdown challenge team paired pinecones with foliage so I inked up my very old Hero Arts Pinecone Wreath stamp! I added a sentiment (also by Hero Arts) and a bow cut using a Simon Says Stamp die. To complete my take, I added a few Nuvo drops.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday everyone!
Welcome to Day 17 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.
I was so pleased when I saw this sketch as I immediately thought of the Poppystamps Dancing Snowflake Tile die that was a total impulse buy when I got carried away with the online Christmas sale at one of my favourite UK online stores last December. I certainly didn’t need it but I have so many snowflake dies…..but it’s just so pretty!
Anyway, I adhered it to a very old background remnant which I have held onto for YEARS! I’m glad I finally used it!
To complete my card, I added a sentiment by Hero Arts.

Hello everyone!
Welcome to Day 16 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at The Paper Players .
First I created a hill at the bottom of my card using a Simon Says Stamp die. Next, I inked up the beautiful Enchanted Forest stamps by Papertrey in distress oxide inks and arranged them on my card base. I added a sentiment by Hero Arts to complete my take.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Father’s Day to my dear Dad!
My dad prefers very CAS cards but I couldn’t resist just adding a little bit of interest to the background on this card!
I die cut the Simply Graphic irregular circle frames from white card and adhered them to my card base. Next, I coloured the Scrapping Cottage Vintage Car die with distress inks. Jalopies are a special shared memory for my dad and I and so I HAD to buy this die when I spotted it in a sale years ago!
I used a Simon Says Stamp Star die and then snipped the die cut in a few places so that I could arrange the stars to reflect the sketch. I also die cut a few smaller stars.
To finish off the card, I added a sentiment from an old Hero Arts wood-mounted stamp. They’ve released this in a clear stamp set now and although I’m quite tempted to buy it, my old wood-mounted stamps still give a great impression.
I’m entering this into the Male Room Challenge where the theme is Dads or Grandads.
Thanks for stopping by!
