With love...

Hi, I'm back again, once again taking up the challenge over at CAS(E) this sketch! using the sketch for this week CTS#36.  I'm actually enjoying going out of my comfort zone each week...although I am finding it challenging, especially using different shapes to what I normally do....it is a good excuse to go and buy different stamps and cutting templates though!  Although it is quite basic I do like this finished card....I hope you do too...thanks for taking a peek.

Falling Leaves...

Well, talk about a challenge!  My sister-in-law threw out the challenge for me to make a card using the sketch for this week CTS#35 over at CAS(E) this sketch!  I think this is about my sixth attempt and I'm still not quite sure I got it as right as I would have liked...but I am pleased I had a go!...thanks for taking a peek, Vikki
  

Dare to Dream....

Hi, today I did a little blogging and checked out a few blogs I hadn't visited before.  Whilst peeking at Annabelle Stamps I came across Topical Tuesdays - Versamark and Chalk - tt073.  I haven't used my chalks in such a long time and was inspired to chalk the plane which I used on the birthday card for my son who will be turning 19 in September....yes! I am early and prepared for a change!  To make this card I used the sketch from Fab Friday this week FabFri21.  I'm really happy with how this card turned out....thank you everyone for your inspiration.  

Butterflies and Birthday Wishes..

Hi ladies, I have been cramming in as much card making as I can these last couple of days as I return to work next Monday after 2 weeks holiday....all good things definitely do come to end!  I made this card inspired by the  Mojo300 sketch this week over at Mojo Monday.  I am very happy with my effort here as I added a few different aspects to this card which I have not done before...especially the stitching on the card....had to dig out the sewing machine for this one....must hide it before my hubby realizes I still own one...lol!  Thanks for taking a peek....Vikki

May all your Dreams come true....

Hi, back again.  After much procrastinating,I have taken myself slightly out of my comfort zone today and had a go at the Dynamic Duos DD#59:  Basic Gray & YOUR CHOICE challenge and I have also combined it with the sketch for this week at Freshly Made Sketches FMS93.  Considering that these aren't colours I would normally work with I'm quite happy with how this card turned out.  Thanks for taking a look.

 

Wait not for tomorrow.....

Hi ladies, I couldn't resist.... I just had to make another card using the FMS92 from last week at Freshly Made Sketches.  I soooo love this sketch.  My sister happened to call in last Saturday when I was making the card for my nephew and she said how much she liked the style.  Now, she recently had a birthday and I had intended to give her a different card, but I thought what the heck she was getting the card late anyway so why not give her a design she said she liked!  We had afternoon tea after she finished work today..(homemade Lemon Meringue Pie....made by me might I add!)...and I gave her this late birthday card which I am pleased to say she liked very much!  Thanks for taking a peek.

Freshly Made

Hi, I have been having lots of fun this week checking out the different challenges on offer and I have to say this FMS92 sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches really caught my eye.  I love this design and used it to make a card for my nephew Matthew who turned 17 on Saturday.  I knew I was on a winner when I gave him this card last night....yes I know a day late!....when his reaction was 'Nice card Aunty Vik'....he is now my favourite nephew!  I hope you like it too....happy stamping,Vikki.

Birthday Wishes...

Well, I am finally back on my blog!  Having been on school holidays this past week and with my hubby out of town for the day on Saturday.. I have finally got around to doing some stamping.  This week I took a peek over at CAS(E) this sketch!..and I love this CTS#34 sketch!  I have made a birthday card using a new embossing folder that I found at the craft store this week and just had to have!  I hope you like it, and thanks for stopping by....Vikki

Just For You

Hi,
Yeah!...I actually made time to sit and make a card today.  It did take me all afternoon....I struggle with circles and I had decided to play along with Mojo Monday and their MOJO289 sketch.  Anyway...I persisted and here is my effort.  I quite like it, hope you do too....Vikki

Taking the Journey...

Hi Stampers,

After taking a peek at my sister-in-law Vikki's blog today I was inspired to look in on Dynamic Duos and the colour challenge they have going at the moment of Bashful Blue and Pumpkin Pie.  Below is my take on the colours.  I have used the same stamp on both of my cards this weekend....a new one I just had to purchase on Friday whilst posting a parcel to my son....it's such a problem when the stamping shop is next door to the post office!  I actually really like these colours together....I will be sure to peek at Dynamic Duos on a regular basis for colour inspiration!  Thanks for dropping by...enjoy your week everyone....Vikki.
