Two posts in ....

.... two days - must be a record!!

The challenge on PaperPlay Challenges this week was set by Dei and it's called "Ooh la la - fashion":

This week I want you to design a project with the theme of fashion!

I had to think outside the box on this one, as I don't have any stamps with dresses or shopping or shopping bellas or anything.

So this is what I made.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you get a chance to enter the challenge!

Give it a ....

.... Twist. This week's challenge on PaperPlay Challenges is set by Elisa:

Use your supplies in an unexpected way: For example, pink card for men, title in Braille, clock faces instead of the letter "O", anything with a twist!

I took inspiration from the "pink card for men" and twisted it - I made a card for a baby girl using NO pink!! It's for a friend who has just had a baby girl after 2 boys, I figure her house will be full of pink stuff except for this!!!!

The prize on this week's PaperPlay is sponsored by Annamarie at The Scrapbook Store - it's a gorgeous kit from Pink Paislee. So have a go at the challenge and you could win!!

I've been so busy I haven't had time for much crafting other than PaperPlay over the past few weeks. The end of the school year is coming up fast and I have to make something for DS's teacher, few other bits and bobs to get working on too. I'm sure it'll all come together in the end (gulp!!!)

DS has been sick over the past week. He started off with an ear infection, progressed to a high temperature and then a bizarre rash. He asked me yesterday: "How do you get an ear infection - is it from hearing too much?"!!!!

Baby Card and Big Sister ....

.... Sweetener!!

This started as an entry for the Daring Cardmakers Challenge the week before last, but I didn't finish it in time. The brief was to use lots of green, and I like the combination of soft green and soft peachy-pink.

It's for my cousin, who had a baby girl recently. She has called her Evie and I just love the name.

Evie has a big sister, Georgie, and I thought I'd better make something for her, too (to help stave off potential jealousy!). I was at my friend, Liz's, house for a crop on Saturday (thanks, Liz). I had a super-productive day for me - made 1 card, 1 box for putting cupcakes in, and this notebook for Georgie:


It is actually made with identical papers to Evie's card, but the light was obviously not as good when I took the pic!!
