Thank You Card

A thank you card, that I am not 100% happy with... again lol

Even though I am not happy with it, or the photograph it's self {I am still playing with my camera settings}, I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

• Cowgirl Up: Sketch
• Paper Sundaes: Use Metal {Small Metal Brad in Flower, and used Silver Mirror Board which gives off a metal effect}
• Wild Orchid: One for the Girls {Umm, it's pink and have used lovely Wild Orchid Flowers on it!}
• Ooh-La-La Creations: Spots & Dots {Spotty paper on one of the panels}
  

Two Cards

I've been a busy bee again.
Two new cards :)

Here is the first one, Tilda, and as you can see, I am really loving my new Nellie Snellen dies :D
Though I really need to see if I can do anything with my camera settings to make the pictures not so blurry.

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

• I Love ProMarkers: Follow the sketch and no more than 3 colours {My three colours were Rose Pink, Cinnamon and Cool Grey 1, and of course I followed the sketch}
• Cupcake Craft Challenges: Distressing {I distressed the edges of the rectangular panel going down the centre}
• Delightful Challenges: Distressing {see above}
• Alota Rubber Stamps: Distressing {see above}
• Alphabet Challenge: Ovals {I used my Oval Nellie Snellen Frame Dies}
• Creative Inspiration: Anything Goes
• Sweet Stampin: Pretty In Pink
  

And finally, an Edwin card, though I am not 100% sure about this one, it feels like something is missing from it?
Ah well, can't get 'em all to be how we wanted them to be I suppose lol

I would like to enter this card in to the following challenges:

• Cards for Men: Go on an Adventure {Edwin has his cases packed and is off on a little adventure!}
• Magnolia Stamp Lovers: Use Edwin
• Craft Your Days Away: Favourites {I used my new favourite Nellie Snellen Frame Die, along with my favourite mulberry paper flowers, and of course Edwin was coloured in using my favourite medium; ProMarkers!}
• The Secret Crafter: It's A Man's World
• Cute Card Thursday - Whateva

Thank You Card made by my Son :)

I thought I would share this card that I helped my 10 year old son to make for his Great-Auntie Sandra, to say 'Thank You' for the watch she gave him, which belonged to my Uncle Steve before he died last month.

As always click on the images to enlarge :)

The card along with the matching envelope that I made.
