Challenge #10 over at Pear Tree Designs!

Hi everyone,

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend!  I have been busy preparing for my grandmother to come stay with me for the week!  I'm one of these people that likes the house to be as neat as a pin when anyone comes over, and with a messy fiance, these things are never easy!!

This week over at Pear Tree Designs Challenge Blog, challenge # 10 is up and running and this week's theme is Birthday.

Here is my challenge card:

I was browsing through one of my latest craft magazines, and really liked the idea of using scrap bits of ribbon to decorate a 'button stamp', which is what I did...sort of!  Well I cut a circle out and used my hot foil wizzard actually!  I also invested in a new flower punch and embosser to make these flowers; a cheaper alternative to buying flowers!

We are sponsored this week by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps, and they wanted the DT to use one of their digital stamps.  I chose the 'A Little Birdie Told Me' digi stamp.  Isn't she cute!?  They are offering the challenge winner a choice of 3 x Robyn's Fetish digital stamps.

Sadly Karen from the DT is giving up her position, so if anyone wants a chance to be on the DT, head over to Pear Tree Designs Challenge Blog and see details on how to apply.

Hope you all have a great week, and as always, can't wait to see what you come up with!

Pear Tree Designs Challenge #9 - A Sketch with a twist!

Happy Monday everyone!

Is it just me, or are the weeks flying by this year??  Before we know it, it's going to be Christmas!! Ahhh!

So, as always, Pear Tree Designs Challenge Blog has a new challenge for you this week - A Sketch with a Twist!  The twist is that you need to include ribbon somewhere on your project.

Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is Lilac Lemon Designs and they are offering the winner 2 stamps from their store (except A5 sheets).  Why not head over and take a look.

Today is my Mother In Law (to be) Birthday, so I decided I would make this card for her!  Here is my DT card for this weeks challenge:

Doesn't the cupcake look good enough to eat?  I bought the die-cut in a pack from Die Cut Dreams and Susie has lots of other fab die-cuts featured in her online store!

Have a good week all, and I look forward to seeing all your challenge cards.
