Top Banana!

So...  my dad has now retired, its great.. he wasn't happy in his job and he can now focus on what he truly loves... He is training to become a counsellor.

Obviously I needed to make him a card to mark this huge step in my dad's life!
I saw this amazing card by Arielle and used it as my inspiration.

I used a great digikit from Hero Arts to create this card.

The paper is from Pink Petticoat from this collection.
I don't particularly like how this one turned out... Not sure why! It doesn't look so playful as Arielles!
Ho hum!

I used another one of the images in the digikit for the inside:

Looking back now, maybe I should have reversed it, put the monkey on the front and the banana inside! 

The main thing is that he liked it! Phew! 

Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Lots of Love

Hello everyone!

I've been meaning to post for a couple of weeks, in fact I created this card for a couple of challenges which have now passed! Drat!

So I will just get on with it and then drag myself to bed! 5 weeks to go now and I am MEGA exhausted! Not sleeping at all! Argh!

This pretty little card is for two of our friends who have just got engaged! N'awwww!
It used the beautiful Double scoop ice cream from MelJens designs. I love this stamp soooo much! It is so versatile!

Its teamed with a sentiment from Doodle Pantry (Can't remember the set it is from) and the background paper is from a new Hero Arts digi kit called Day at the Circus
Its finished off with some gems and some glamour dust! Voila!

This card is hopefully not too late to be entered in to the Meljens Anything goes challenge!

Speak to you soon!
Love

Jennie

Another Week gone!

Gosh! Another week gone by already!
Honestly... where is time going!
Hope everyone is keeping well?

This card is another Christmassy one! I got all excited by the Hero Arts Digital collections and the amazing inspiration by Lucy Abrams that I made most of my cards using their digi collections!

I love these cute little snowmen! They are printed from the HA Christmas Cookies set

I printed 3 of them coloured their noses and scarves, added some glamour dust to the scarves and then attached them to the sentiment which is from Pink Petticoat. The paper is also a Pink Petticoat one too! 

Again, another CAS card, I do like it though, this was one of my favourites :)

Have a great weekend everyone

Sweets for My Sweets

So I am sure you are probably completely fed up of looking at lots of christmas cards.... but here is another one :)

This card is based on one of the Sketches on the Hero Arts blog for their December Challenge
I've actually created a card for all three of the sketches as I admired them that much! But the other two will come later ;)

The card was created using the Hero Arts Holiday Jumble digikit
It has so many fun elements, it's been my go to set to use this Christmas... especially the yummy background!!

The sentiment was generated in word using Scrapgirls font!

Nice and simple, but that's just how I like it :)

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Paper Pretties : Red, White and one other colour ... (Black)
The Crazy Challenge: Christmas!
Dream Valley: Christmas (Hello lovely Dream Valley ladies)
Crafty Cardmakers: Use It 3 times. 

Merry Christmas to everyone! Have a Happy and Healthy time

Lots of Love

My Goodness... It's a Card

Hello Hello Hello!

I have a card! I know! Shock Horror!
Someone from work asked me to make a couple of birthday cards (They will be showcased later) but whilst doing those cards I got a bit of inspiration and made a couple of Christmas Cards!!

This is one of them :)

I was blog hopping looking for inspiration and then started looking at some of my favourite stores and came accross some digital goodies from Hero Arts!

This card has bits and pieces from lots of different places!
I started by using this kit from 2Peas and took the background, which you can't see in the picture above... maybe this one will help!

It's quite a subtle colour, I changed the red and the transparency so it didn't come through too strong!

I then found these cute Gingerbread men as part of another Hero Arts digital set!

I printed 4 and then varnished them! I have some glossy accents on order too mwahahahha!



Once the ginger's had dried I then Used some bakers twine hanging randomly across the card and then stuck the little ginger's down with glue dots!

I tied some red ribbon from my stash around the top!
The lovely sentiment is taken from a fantastic set from Pink Petticoat which comes free when you purchase the beautiful papers!

I also did a little inside print too!

The Santa Claus is from the earlier set I posted and the Fa La La La La is from PinkPetticoat :)

I hope you enjoy!
It's nice to be back....
