Here are some of the cards I did with the latest Raspberry Ribbons
kits, lime and turquoise - what beautiful colours. You can check out the other fabulous DT cards
HERE. The first one is using a stamp
which I got a while back from Mich at Poppicrafts. The stamp is only £2.99 - what value!!!!! And it is lovely and stamps up so nicely. This is Daisy with a cake but there are others there so it is worth checking them out.
The papers are all PP, naturally!!!

This next
one is very similar to one I did a few posts
back and uses the most
gorgeous stamp from Sally Anns
Stamp Boutique. I think the
lemon ribbon in the
kits is fab for when you dont
know what the baby is.
The next one is using a
PP download, Home Sweet Home.
I always seem to struggle with
new home cards so this was a
godsend for me. I love the pink and turquoise
combination as well - quite pretty.

And finally,
I saw this
doodle bird on Jo Kill's
fabulous blog and I just HAD to have it.
You can check these Tigerfrog downloads out HERE

We are off to Wimbledon tomorrow - Pimms and strawberries and cream, what bliss xxx We have tickets for Monday (No 1 Court) and Richard said that according to the the forecast, we should hopefully be in for some nice weather!! Well that is the kiss of death isn't it, but we'll see lol xxx So just the one card tonight. I have based this on one of Katharinas fantastic sketches, which are just a joy to work with. The image is from Sally's new and completely fab download - pop over to her blog and check it out. I will be doing more from this download when I am back next week. She has added a section for customer cards so don't be shy, let her know if you use her stuff and she will put it in her gallery so we can all share in everyones wonderful work. And last but by no means least, I have used one of the beautiful pins that the awesomely talented Penny has made. She is selling these on her blog so pop over and check them out. My photo does not do them justice because they are absolutely stunning. The ribbon is from my stash and the blooms and buttons are from the lovely Mich at Poppicrafts. The sharp eyed amongst you will notice that there is something different about the colouring in, and that is because I have used my new set of Prisma pencils and I haven't quite got the hang of them yet, so I think that it has let this card down somewhat. I have to be honest and say that I prefer my watercolours and when I am back from SW19 I am going to re-do this card with them and compare the 2. Have a great weekend, and fingers crossed that the sun shines on Monday xxx

Hi Peeps. Hope you are all having a great weekend and that the weather isn't too awful for you. Here in Chester it is cold, grey and verrrry windy today - grrrr, miserable. So what better way to spend the day than staying inside in the warm and doing a spot of crafting lol xxx. This first card is for the Paper Take Weekly challenge which this week is hot hot hot (I wish!!). I did a 2 in 1 and used the sketch from Friday Sketchers. Papers are PP and the ribbons are Raspberry Ribbons and one from my stash. The little flowers were from Costco and the brads are from the fabulous Poppicrafts. Check out the website cos there is a 15% off sale this weekend - you'll need to hurry though cos it ends at midnight tonight.

This next one is a 3 in 1 and this time it is for
the very wonderful 2 Sketches for You based on
one of Laura's fab sketches,
the Spoonful of Sugar challenge which is to create
a card for a celebration, and also Cute Card Thursday which was to create a card for a birthday - simple as that. The papers are from Tinker & Co (Sweet Dreams)

The last one I did is
for 2 challenges -
TGI Friday, which is to
create a card for a baby and Daring Card Makers
which is to create a quick card
which took no more than 30 minutes to make. The stamp I used is from Sally's e-bay shop, The Stamp Boutique. Her stamps are just gorgeous and very reasonable too. Check out her blog here. The ribbons are Raspberry Ribbons and the buttons are from God knows where cos I certainly don't but hey how cute!!
