Sweet and Simple!

I should of blogged this before now but i just haven't had a spare minute..

this is my entry for Cute Card Thursday.. just in time b4 their new challenge tomorrow.. anyways.. the theme was 'A Pinch and a Punch'

... translated meaning 1st's.. like first kiss, first date, first birthday... you get the picture..

I liked the idea of first date so went with that.

I used a dressy miss anya and an SN manga boy both coloured with copics.. i think they make a cute couple, don't you! The birdy stamps are my free CI ones for subbing to Craft Stamper last month.

The Sugar Bowl #18

Yay it's that time again to get all sugary with this weeks Sugar Bowl challenge, this weeks sketch has been provided by the fab Kathy and the promp is to use Buttons

And as always there is an awsome prize up for grabs .. go check it out to see what the prize is!

This is the first chance i have had to use this manga stamp and i just adore it..{and all the others lol} coloured with copics....do i use anything else!!!!

papers are 'Scrumptious' by papermania

I saw my fellow blogger Kim {aka paperbabe} use buttons as part of a cherry and just had to borrow the idea, {although her's look far better!}, but i'm real happy with the card and how it turned out.

The Sugar Bowl #17

Just managing to fit this one in, i tried to post it before i went away but my photo upload was not having any of it but it seems to be ok now so here finally is my entry for The Sugar Bowl, sketch courtesy of Judy with the added promp to use your own homemade flowers.

I thought i'd try the circle flowers i keep seeing on everyones blogs and figured that they went quite well with a boy theme card, i used the fabby manga boy {i adore these stamps} and played some more with my sewing machine stitching practically all the papers i used.

Normal service hasn't quite returned as i still have my best friends upcoming wedding to attend but i should be back blogging regularly after that!!! well thats what i'm hoping anyways lol
