LOTV - CHALLENGE 123 - ANYTHING BUT A CHRISTMAS CARD!

Good evening!I hope you've all had a lovely weekend?We have,we went ice-skating on sunday and thankfully I did'nt fall over lol,the boys loved it and did'nt want to leave when it was time to come off bless them.
Well you can imagine my reaction when I saw this week's LOTV challenge lol, was so glad it was to make anything but a christmas card, don't get me wrong I love making christmas card's but I've been making them since august and I need a change lol.
I've used Cute Square topper for my card,with some Coredinations cardstock,ribbon from stash,Papermania adhesive stones,craftwork cards sentiment and Handstitching.

Also thought I'd share a couple of other card's I made over the weekend using the Gorgeous new Daisy and Dandelion Lovingly Yours collection...

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment :) xx

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS FINISHED...

Making christmas cards, my sis asks me to make some for her lol... so I have'nt had time to join in with any challenges. So I thought I'd share another christmas card I made a couple of weeks ago to send to one of my other half's nephew's. I was in a Kraft phase when making some of my christmas card's and I really liked how well it went with the Papermania 'At Christmas Time' collection which is what I used for this card along with some ribbon from my stash, a Papermania sentiment,Anita's peel-offs and Handstitching.
Well I hope you all have a fab weekend whatever you have planned, we're taking the boy's ice-skating which will be fun ( I just hope I don't fall flat on my bum like the last time lol) :)

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Good afternoon! Today's card is for two challenges the first is PAPERTAKE WEEKLY and their challenge this week is Fancy A Punch?. I've used my fave x-cut flower punch and a fiskars border punch, I love layering these border punches. I think it looks really pretty and its a really good way for me to use up the scraps of paper I have when I cut my 6x6 pieces down as it grieves me to throw paper away :).

The second challenge i'm entering this card into is EVERYBODY-ART-CHALLENGE who have a Flowers theme this week. I have used one of the gorgeous LOTV die cut images and the paper's are an old Making Memories 6x6 pad, the sentiment is craftwork cards, the adhesive stones are papermania, ribbon is from poppicrafts and ofcourse Handstitching. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment :) xx
