Hello folks - happy Monday to you all. First let me show you my card : This was a lovely card to do, a) because it's for  Stamp With Us and I get to show off all my fantastic Stampin' Up stuff, and b) because it is also for a brand new challenge blog Hidden Treasures Challenge . Here is the sketch from SWU that I followed: The challenge on Hidden Treasures was to use the colours Pink and Brown - here are the materials I used: (all Stampin' Up) Card stock: Very Vanilla, Pretty In Pink & Bravo Burgundy. Inks: Pretty In Pink & Bravo Burgundy. Stamp Sets: Greenhouse Garden, Flight Of The Butterfly & Pocket Silhouettes (sentiment). Punches: Butterfly punch & Scallop Edge punch. Hope you like my card - will be back later with another challenge card. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

No, I don't mean unhappy blues - but the colour blue. The theme on Stamp With Us  this fortnight is 'Birthday', so I chose to use Stampin' Up Bordering Blue - hense the 'blues'. It is one of my favourites, (I say that about them all!) and I teamed it up with some white card stock. What do you think? I regret to say that I do not own a decent 'Happy Birthday' stamp - something that will be rectified very soon I hope. This is for my Sister - In - Law, it's her birthday tomorrow - hope she likes it. Materials used: Stampin' Up card stock - Bordering Blue Inks - Bordering Blue stamps - the little flowers from Simply Said and Flight of the Butterfly. Flower punch Other white card stock, Cuttlebug, die, sentiment stamp, 7 Gypsies flowers.

Oooh had lots of fun with this one. Thought "that looks an easy sketch" - took me ages! I decided to use an A6 card for a start (I have loads in my stash and need to use them up) so it was quite difficult to size all the elements on my card. I even cut into some of my new 'Soft Subtles' card stock and used the corresponding inks. I know what you are thinking - it looks very much like Zoe's from the design team. Sorry, but I just got this stamp set and punch and I just had to use them. It is fast becomming one of my favourites. So please click here   to see this challenge and all the other entries. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx. Materials: Stampin' Up Stamps - Flight of the Butterfly Inks - Soft Subtles - Perfect Plum + Pale Plum Card Stock - Perfect Plum + Pale Plum Butterfly Punch Other: Bazzill Cardstock Coloured Brads A6 Card.
