Sporting Cuties with the Cutie Pies

Good morning,

A 'real time' post from me as I'm on annual leave.  We aren't going away anywhere at the moment so I'm looking forward to spending some time with our daughter before she goes back to school next week as well as catching up with housework (meh) and doing some much needed de-cluttering.  Not sure if I'll get as far as doing any craft supplies de-cluttering but we'll see how it goes.  The weather doesn't appear to be the best this week so I will make the most of doing indoor chores.

Anyhoo, today I'm sharing my DT card for the new Cutie Pie Challenge - our theme this month is Sporting Cuties 🏀🏁🏃🏄🏈🎾🎯 and we'd love you to come and share your projects with us!

For this challenge we are sponsored by Bugaboo

I have used one of their fab images for my card called Sunbonnet Fish 2 and a very old but very nice paper pack from We Are Memory Keepers with some faux stitching added.  As you can see I took a bit of a liberty with the sentiment stamp!

Materials used:

Bugaboo Digital Stamp - Sunbonnet Fish 2

Promarkers

Papers - We Are Memory Keepers Travel Light

Sentiment Stamp - Personal Impressions (tweaked by me)

Cardstock, buttons & twine from stash

That's all from me, I'd better get on with the chores!  

Hugs,

Quick card for my Sister in Law

Hello,

I've just popped on to share a quick card I made recently for my sister-in-law's birthday.  I didn't really have anything suitable in my stash of 'made' cards and needed something quick so I used one of the freebie paper kits from Making Cards Magazine.  I more or less followed one of the worked examples, adding my own twist with some faux stitching around the cat image. 

Since I can't really say this design is my own I'm not entering it into any challenges.  But thank you to Making Cards for the inspiration and fantastic gifts as well as a fantastic magazine!

Hugs,
Shona x
