sent with love

This is a wallet with some stamped images for a swap with a lovely friend.
I need to get them in the post to someone on Monday.

It is also the only thing I have finished today!


It dose however fill requirements for a few challenges....
hopefully 6 of them!!!!



One stop Craft Challenge
are looking for buttons & bows.
Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge
are looking for an animal element.
My Time to Craft
are looking for A little bit of sunshine.
it is a lovely sunny yellow with some summery orange.
A spoonful of sugar is looking for
Love is in the air,
well as you can see this wee mouse is playing
he loves me, he loves me not with his flower.
Am I pushing my luck with that one?
It is made using the fab sketch on
Sketch & Stash.
The new stash on my card is the swirl stamps, the leaf stamps,
the beautiful yellow ribbon I layered
over pearl card so it showed up more against the yellow card.
The two different yellow brads are also new.
And lastly.....ABC Challenge are looking for
Y is for Yesteryear.
they wanted you to look out one of the first stamps you ever bought.
This Hobby Arts stamps were among the first.

I must admit, until I started using stamps at Sally's card class class.
I didn't like stamping at all, I was so bad at it.
And now I have used this stamp, I remember who fiddly it is to colour!
Probably one of the reasons it dosen't come out much!


This is the layering on the back.
It's my handmade stamp
that my lovely talented friend Sammi made me!!!

stuff

Am getting in to the swing of Andrew being on night shifts.
Not Poppy though, she can't understand
how she is not allowed in the bedroom while he is sleeping,
let alone chew and chomp on her nylon bone beside him!

She may have been my idea but she is his girl!
I am more strict with her.


She is watching a cat in the garden in this photo.....
cats are scary and not to go near!

Right....what did I get done today.

Well over at The Sugar Bowl #2 challenge they want things in three's.

"use three different design papers
and three different types of embellishments on your cards!
No more, no less.

(by types of embellishments we mean, buttons, brads, flowers, ribbons, beads, bling etc)

Also if you can use three suagr nellie stamps you get entrered in the prize draw twice!

So here we have Hamish, Maggie and Angus the dog with his bone.
So that's three stamps.

I used the blue spotty paper, and blue paper that looks like water
and then tartan backing paper on it.
My three types of embellishments are the ribbon, the flowers
and the brads in the flower centres.

The inside.

I enjoyed making this, am not sure who to send it to as I am up to date with my image swaps.
Including extra ones I promised folk.
So ....was thinking I might offer it and some ribbons as a wee blog candy.
One each of 20 different images including the new Leanne Ellis set of six,
and the trio on the front of the wallet.
Also my fave one just now, Daisy.

What I will do is offer it and some other stuff next month
when it will be one year since I started this blog.
My hits counter has gone belly up twice now,
so has been removed.

It also covers the ABC Challenge which is W for wallet!
I love their challenges, and love looking to see what
they are coming up with for this weeks letter!
Be interesting to see what they do next week for X.....


Next is my ATC covers a couple of challeges too...
This Thursday are looking for something with whiskers!
It is of course a house mouse. Thanks to Chrissy for this cute guy.


Over at House Mouse Monday Challenge they are looking for an ATC.
I am trying out mixed media.
The wee thingy on the end of the green cord is a leaf stamped onto shirnk plastic.
I embossed the green white core card using my birdie cuttle bug folder.
Then sanded it a wee bit and used gold ink and walnet distressing ink on it.

I have had skeleton leaves for a while but never knew what to do with them!

Is it too much for an ATC?


you all doing ok?
