Butterflies - Living Art

Created With Love - Friday Sketch -CWL have had 3 challenges this week and this is my last entry using the above sketch .

I seem to have brain freeze as this card uses the same colour combo as my previous post -who knew I liked pink -not me.

C-attitude - TV Critic

There is no such thing as cat owner -ain't that the truth but we love them to bits .

I paper pieced the chair and the cat I stuck on some very thick card so he is slightly raised , I tried him on some sticky pads but it was too high and didn't look right.

Created With Love - challenge 05 - Furry Friends - they have 3 challenges running this week ,Monday,Wednesday and Friday . You have to do all 3 challenges to win and entries must be in by Sunday .

Made Especially For You - Week 4 - Paper Piecing -I did the chair.

Deepest Sympathy

I rarely make Sympathy cards but when I do they have to be old school and quite respectful.I like to use black,grey,lilac , pale green and possibly lemon. I would only use bright colours if requested ,say pink for the death of a young girl .
Once the colour has been decided what to put on the front ,if you choose an image like my poppies then a short sentiment is best . For something a bit longer perhaps in a frame Psalm 48 is good as is Matthew 11.28 and whilst it's not pertaining to bereavement Psalm 23 'The lord is my Shepherd ' is very soothing to read.
If in doubt about the religious element then 'Our thoughts are with you at this sad time ' , or possibly 'With Deepest Sympathy ' .

Created With Love - challenge 4 - Sympathy - using text from the Bible.
The Pink Elephant - challenge 163 - Sympathy /Thinking of You

Christmas in August

I'm GD at Made Especially For You this week .The challenge is to use 3 pearls . Red pearls = Red noses - I couldn't resist doing this reindeer Chrissy card. Black and White with a touch of Red is one of my fav combo's.The sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps .

Paper and Such Designs - challenge - Stamp on Designer paper - My paper is ' POSH by Teresa Collins . I certainly made things hard for myself picking this paper to stamp on.

A Gem of A Challenge - challenge 53 - Animals or Teddies -

Crafty Ann's challenge blog - challenge 72 - Christmas in August or Winter Olympics - not a great fan of the Olympics so Christmas it is.

I hope you all had a great weekend ,things were pretty quiet here until late yesterday afternoon. I decided it was time for a change on my blog and things went from bad to worse .I don't think I will have much spare time today so just for the moment the colours are pretty naff, need I say more. Enjoy your Monday.
