Stamping Bella 'Opal the Optimist'

I am back with my card for the Papertake Weekly Challenge

HAPPY - - - - - - -

I was intending to make a Happy St Patricks Day card and then went completely off on a tangent. If you would like to see that card too just scroll down a bit :-)

A friend asked me to make a 21st birthday card for her niece and this is the 2nd of what I made, I made 2 so that she could choose. THIS CARD is the other choice :-) She is an animal lover so I popped a little kitty on here.

I was inspired by this card by the lovely Tracy Valur, Designer for Stamping Bella

and I finished the inside.

thanks for looking !!

We are sponsored by the lovely Mary and Andrea aka The Ribbon Girl, so a fabulous prize on offer this week :-)

Happy St Patricks Day !! :-)

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY !!

The best day of the year to go to a pub all day and drink Guinness ;-)

I made this card for Papertake Weekly Challenge starting later today but had a senior moment and got the theme all wrong :-/ So I will be back later with a different card for that :-)

I recently bought these fab Spring Wise Dies, love this Shamrock, it comes in a set of 3 with an egg shape and a jelly bean, I am sure I will be using those a lot too.

I smooched some watercolour onto some paper and die cut a tag and used that for the inside of the tag, love the soft watercolour effect.

I added gold accents, thinking Leprechauns, Rainbows and Pots of Gold. As you can see I went completely off on a tangent :-)

Thank you everyone for my Birthday wishes yesterday. I had a lovely day, a little bit of shopping, bought a lovely top in NEXT, and then a lunch with me BFF's :-)

House Mouse 'Birthday Cone'

Hi all :-) It is time for a new theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge and this time America has an absolutely gorgeous card for us to CASE, or you can choose the Anything Goes option. The choice is yours !

I needed to make a card for a 21st Birthday and I made 2 for my friend to choose from ( you will see the other choice tomorrow ;-)) I used the Anything Goes option, but I promise to CASE America's card for the mid week reminder.

I love this Birthday Cone image co CUTE !! I added a few chocolate sprinkles using a Viva Pearl Pen and paper pieced the little party hats. Although I didn't CASE America's card, I did stencil lots of big circles in keeping with the card a little bit ;-)

I decorated the inside and made this little mouse a party hat too

and this is America's gorgeous card for you to CASE. Our lovely GD's and the DT have made some gorgeous creations please hop on over to the HM&F Challenge blog to see them.
