FANCY A CUPPA

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today, I'm sharing a card I made with this adorable Polkadoodles image, Fancy A Cuppa.   

This is my second card for the month, and I'm using my other sketch.  

Sketch # 309

This isn't a hard card to make.  I feel it makes a change having a triangle as your centre image.

Here's a quick look at the inside of my card.

THANKS YOU SO MUCH

 Today I'm sharing a card with you that I made for a friend.  It's designed with double-sided design paper.  There are a lot of pieces to this card, but it turns out really cute.  I saw it on Pinterest and visited Connie's blog on Simply Simple Stamping.

I made a slight adjustment by adding the white back cardstock.

This was perfect for the occasion I had in mind.  I also made an envelope to match the card.

It was a nice change from my normal cards.

The card opened up.

DAISY DELIGHT

Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  Thanks so much for coming over to see what I've been up to this month.  Not a lot, as it's winter here in New Zealand, and I would rather stay in than adventure out, especially in the evenings.  OMGoodness, I'm sounding old.  

This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, we have another two new sketches and one from the past. We would love to see your cards, especially if you used all three sketches.  

Sketch #308

This is an easy sketch, and you can use up some of those scrap design papers we all have hanging around.

I love my card, it's bright and cheery and makes me smile.

This card is easy and effective.  The bottom layer is the design paper, and on each of the corners, there is one small square.

Don't forget to visit the rest of the design team over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and check out what they have created this month.
