A sympathy card

Gosh, where does the time go nowadays?!  It seems like it was only Bellarific Friday yesterday and it's come around again!  So this week we had a sketch to follow and here is my take on it...

This is a sympathy card as my husband's cousin died recently so no cuteness from me today.  This beautiful flower is called Rose with a Hearty Centre and I used BasicGrey papers and a sentiment is from the Lili of the Valley Handwritten Phrases set.

Next week's Bellarific Friday is "friends" - I can feel an Uptown Girl stamp coming out for that!  Send your creations to Em by next Thursday.

I gotta go now but I'll be back this weekend with my Lili of the Valley DT post - ttfn!

Sweet girlie girl!

I'm here today to show you my DT card using one of the sweet stamps from the Drozy's Darlings Summer Days set...

Such a sweetie pie!  I matched her up with My Minds Eye papers and doily to add to her girliness!  The sentiment is from the AmyR Sunny sentiments set.

You can check out all of the July release here.  I'll see you later and thanks for visiting!

 

Here comes the bride

I'm sharing with you today my Bellarific Babe wedding card that I made for my mum to give to my cousin who is getting married next month.  She really liked a card I made with another image so I'm afraid I cheated and just copied that one!  Anyway, here it is...

Another Uptown Girl beauty!  This is Brigitte the Beautiful Bride and I matched her up with My Minds Eye papers.  I also used a doily and CC Designs Cutters Heart and Scalloped Heart die.  I stamped the sentiment on a CC Designs Cutter Scrolling Banners die.

Okay, I am off now.  It's my dad's birthday so I have to get some gardening done before we go and celebrate with a family dinner - ttfn!

Everything is more fun with a friend

Hello!  Just very quickly popping in with my Bellarific Babe card using the sweet Annie from the Tiddly Inks Annie and Arthur duo stamp set...

 

She is soooo pretty!  I coloured her on kraft cardstock with my Copies and used the Crate Paper collection kit along with a sweet doily.  I am entering this card into the Simon Says anything goes challenge.

 

Okay, I gotta run - thank you for visiting and I will see you tomorrow on my blog rounds!

Mmmm....strawberries!

I love strawberries, don't you?  My favourite ones are from Kent in England - sweet and juicy!  Shame they aren't at their best for another few months though.  Still, I made my Bellarific Babe card today that reminds me of that sweet, sweet fruit...

Isn't this little girl the sweetest too?  This is Tiddly Inks' Flynn's Berry Happy Day and I matched her up with October Afternoon Fly A Kite papers, used up some more Echo Park alpha stickers and topped it off with some satin ribbon.

I'll be back tomorrow with my There She Goes DT post.  Thank you for visiting, I always love reading your comments!

Think Spring!

It's Bellarific Friday time and this week we had the theme of Spring - easy peasy!  Although the weather in the UK is still very uninspiring!  So here's my Bella Babe card take on it...

This is Uptown Girl Winnie Peeking Out The Window - isn't she pretty?  I matched her up with Karen Funk papers and a sweet doily.  I also dotted Glamour Dust all over the flowers and the curtain trim although you can't see it very well!  I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp challenge for Spring flowers.
