Penny Black & Sketch Saturday Challenges

It's been so long since I entered a challenge, but I've got (I think), my mojo back, well it's on its way!! So I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the challenge from Penny Black Saturday Challenge to come up with this card. It's been so long that I can only just remember how to link it all in this post, too!!

Ruby Wedding Anniversary Card

3 challenges, 4 cards!

I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly to make this card,

and the sketch from Sketch Saturday and the challenge from Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge which is Embossing.

I also made this card in an attempt to make a 40th card (in fact all of these started life as a 40th card, but I just couldn't get them right...)

but this is the one I ended up turning into a 40th using the Just Beachy stamps from SU!

Papertake Weekly & Secret Crafter

I've made a card for my little boy who's 6 today (yes, I've only just made his card - bad mummy!!), and I used the inspiration from this weeks blog challenge over on - Papertake Weekly which is "to Die for"


and here's a pic of him first thing this morning...

and this is another card, made for his friend who had his birthday last week and I used the blog challenge over on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge which this week is dust off your stash. I rummaged around through some old magazine freebies and found this fab star background paper!

new stamps!

A card made using some new stamps, coloured in by me and my 8 yr old!

3 cards for men, 3 challenges!

I've had a run on cards for men this week - 3 in one week (shouldn't be allowed!), so I used the sketch challenges from:Cute Card Thursday, Sketch Saturday and Papertake Weekly to inspire me to use my new stamp sets for these cards...
