CPS Favourite Sketch and Cute Card Thursday #44

This week CPS let us decide on our favourite sketch from 1-99 and that's a lot of sketches to choose from! I decided to use sketch #54, and here's what I came up with - a very simple card using Magnolia stamps, cardstock and a craftwork cards sentiment - no patterned paper in sight!

Here is my original take on sketch 54, which is really different - and that's why I love sketches so much!

I also incorporated this week's Cute Card Thursday theme of "creating a scene".

Thanks for looking

Tilda & Co #31

This week's challenge was to make a Christmas card - quite appropriate considering how freezing cold it is at the moment - feels more like December than August!!

Here's my card, using Fancy Pants Holly Jolly papers.

Tilda & Co #29

This week's Tilda & Co theme was "A bug's life!" so I dug out my Magnolia bees and teamed them up with Edwin sitting on a wall. Everything else on the card is from a HOTP Personal Shopper kit.

Tilda & Co #28 ~ CPS #73

This week's Tilda and Co theme was distressing - and I've used MAMBI papers and stickers and some Rusty Pickle alpha stamps along with plenty of tearing and inking for this card.

The layout of the card is based on this week's fabby CPS sketch.
