Beautiful blooms

My card making is a bit of a dream this week,it's Thursday already and I have only posted once.I spent most of Monday doing boring housework.Tuesday I went to the dentist with a broken tooth and did a grocery shop.Wednesday I went to my local craft shop to see a demo on the Prov Cricut,when I found out how much they cost I didn't hang around ,too expensive for my budget.So to Thursday, I spent this morning seeing a vein specialist as I have a nasty varicose vein.This evening I am going to a quiz night,give the grey cells a workout.

I did make this little offering which covers 3 challenges.

I've used the cute image from Delightful Inspirations which is free when you play along.

Sophisticat challenge 22 - stitching

Bee Crafty challenge 24 - sew cute

Sketch N Stash challenge 29 -Layout used

Birds of a feather

I've just come across Delightful Inspiration who have a freebie on offer. If you join in and use the freebie you will get another one as a reward and so it goes. It's very tempting to use a bit of artistic licence and colour the owls pink or purple but I've tried to keep it natural .This is my offering.

I have also used the layout from Sketch and Stash challenge 28. All the paper is from my stash ,the flowery background I stamped myself with a new flower stamp. The paper lace across the middle is also new.

Christmas Girl

So much for packing up my stash,I just couldn't resist making one more card. This was a labour of love making up the wreath from several bits and then cutting away the paper from the outside edges.The pack I used to make up the wreath simply says decorative sticker and nothing else,no country of manufacture or address.The image and button print are from Pollycraft.

Secret Crafter challenge 52 have a theme of 'Celebration' and what better than Christmas.

Sketch and Stash challenge 20 is the layout I have used.All the elements on this card are new except for the green ribbon and bit of lace which came from my stash.
