I spotted this lovely stamp set in a little craft shop in Taunton and thought what a lovely stamp for a guy.
The stamp set is one from Sheena Douglass called 'A Little Bit Sketchy' and this particular stamp set is called 'Peaceful Lake'...stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with SU marker pens...backing paper is from my stash and so is the card....a very quick and easy card to make.
Thanks for looking

Penny Blacks challenge this week is CRAFTY BARGAINS . My first bargain was the backing paper it was cheap because it was 'dog eared' and also the ribbon which was in a cheap bin and I suppose you could also say the sentiment was as it came F.O.C. with an order from a lovely lady called Alison....
I cant tell you who's backing papers they are, the image is coloured using pencils. Crafts Too embossing folder used across the centre, the little flower my friend Jan made for me so I just added some punched leaves.

This is a new Challenge for me its called 'Simply Stampin' and this week its a Sketch.
Stamping the En Francais background onto squares then took stamps from the Pocket Silhouettes set and stamped onto 4 of the square, the small butterfly from Flight of the Butterfly and the sentiment came from Whimsical Words set. Punched out a couple of flowes and added pearls before popping them onto the card. Across the bottom I used the Eyelet Border punch. I shall enjoy doing this challenge as it will mean my S.U. stamps will get used more!
Strictly was fabulous last night, it was at the NIA and not the NEC as I though the only complaint I have is that the seats so were hard! Next time I will take a cushion to sit on..lOl..lOl.

Another great challenge this week from Chrissie and Mandi over at LIM
and this week its 'Cut it Out'.
I cut a square in the centre of my card with a Nestie then added on the top an embossed aperture frame, I then got a piece of pink card and 'framed' the aperture... added a few white daisy flowers and also punched out some white leaves. The sentiment is from the SU set Punch Bunch...It wasn't easy to photograph as the light isn't good today...
.We are off to see Strictly Come Dancing in Birmingham tomorrow night so really looking forward to that.
You will also see from my side bar that we have another 2 Stampin Up Extravaganza Days booked, one in June and one in November if anyone is interested and would like to join us for a great crafting day please email me to book your place...

Having making several cards this week I had lots 'bits' and scraps of paper left so I decided not to waste them but to try and make a card and this is the result!
Two pieces of embossed card using SU embossing folders... remains of a scallop edge using EK Success border punch, a butterfly I had spare, the little gems were a 'freebie' with a crafting order I received, a little scrap of SU Designer paper which I have used behind the butterfly and an odd rose which was spare after making a birthday card...
Stamps used are all from the Elements of Style stamp set.

This is my mid month post for the St Lukes Charity card challenge which is all about recyling things you would normally throw away.
For my Birthday one of my daughters came me a M & S Gift voucher which came in a beautiful card which I kept as it was too pretty to throw away so I decided to use the front of it on my card. Its quite big so didn't need to add much else. The ribbon is also recyled as hidden behind the image is a black ink stain as I left open my ink pad a dropped the ribbon on top! I added the bow and of course the flower, leaves and pearls.....
You still have time to make a card for this challenge and you could be this months winner so come on crafters get your thinking caps on...
