Hi Everyone
Well can you believe it?
After a grotty few days we have glorious sunshine today . .. . so what do I do?
I shut myself away in my craft pod with a huge "do list" and pull the blinds down to stop the glaring sunshine!!
Let's face it .. .. I don't deserve sunshine do I!! LOL!!!
Part of my "do list" called for a quick card .. .. so I decided to cut the thinking time down and use the sketch over at Sketch Saturday.
Next I delved into the drawer that is home to my Penny Black stamps because there is "always" something in there I will love using. At this point I remembered the Penny Black Saturday challenge for September. Because this is now a monthly challenge my normal Saturday morning ritual of checking the challenge has gone a bit awry .. .. but this week I remembered to check and all I needed to do was "add ribbons and buttons" to my creation. Hopefully "a" ribbon and "a" button in the singular will suffice LOL!!!
So this is my share:
This used:
Image: Penny Black "2078H" Birthday Dog
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat "Happy Birthday Sentiments"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat (part of the new colour collection download. These were on offer recently with 5 different patterned papers in all the collection colours for £5 . .. but I am not sure if you can get them now or not as the special offer may have ended. Here is the link if you want to check but I used three of the five here.)
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
ProMarkers, Chalk and Glitter
Ribbon and Button from the Stash Box
Sorry .. .. have just come back to add the sketch. I love it and will definitely be using it again.
We are out for a meal in a little while as my lovely Sis will be having a HUGE birthday tomorrow and we are celebrating!!!

We are out for a meal in a little while as my lovely Sis will be having a HUGE birthday tomorrow and we are celebrating!!!
I have been busy making cards for people to give to her .. .. very difficult making lots of cards for the same person and trying to come up with something different when she sees just about everything I ever make LOL!!
I will share my make for her on Monday when her birthday has come and gone as tomorrow will be snippet day.
Catch you then.
Have a great evening.
Love
I love this card! Such a great image and those papers are fabulous! Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Tracey x

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about having to shut out the sun. It does play havoc with crafting. Your card and the papers are gorgeous and love the image. Enjoy your evening out Jules.

Adorable card, such a sweet image.
ReplyDeleteEven with the sun shining, it's been cold brrr!! Super card, I like the look of that sketch too, wonder if I'll get time to play with it...
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean about making multiple cards for the same person, I've had to do that a few times. Most recently 2 wedding cards for the same people, not so bad you'd think.....they both had to have meerkats on them.. yes, I did say meerkats!
Have a lovely time tonight xx
This is so cute. Gorgeous. A very Happy Birthday to your sister for tom orrow.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a cute image! Love the paper colors--and the little pops of color too. Have a lovely celebration!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous Jules.....and loving the colours & layout too hun...:o)

What a sweet card. My dtr would just love it (she's a dog nut!) as I do. You did a fantastic job & I found the heart. I have learned to search for it before I admire the card. (sigh!). This was a great layout for this particular stamp. All in all, a wun-da-ful card. The recipient will love it. TFS
ReplyDeleteLove your paper choice. Perfect ribbon and button treatment and this doggy is sooo cute! Thank you for coming to play with us at Sketch Saturday, Jules! Hugs, Lesley

So Cute...
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how difficult it is to come up with different designs for the same person... its hard enough making one for the grandparents or aunties/uncles when I've already made one to send from me... it has to be done though... well done for getting through it!
