The same but different...

Hi everyone, and a happy Sunday to you all.

Today I'm sharing a card made using my favourite stamp from the lovely Paper Smooches  set 'Leafy Greens'. I'm more than a little obsessed with this image and haven't inked up any of the other stamps in this set as yet.

The design is pretty much the same as the second card featured in this post a few weeks ago, I've just used different stamps and colours.

I'm linking this card with the lovely ladies over at Seize the Birthday. I was also going to link-up with the Anything Goes Challenge at Paper Smooches Sparks, but I missed the deadline. However there's a very tempting sketch on offer for the new challenge which is calling my name. The inspiration cards are as brilliant as always.

We're enjoying some unseasonably bright, warm weather in the UK today so please excuse me as I slip away to enjoy a little more of it!

Happy crafting everyone!

Here's one I made earlier...

I've been in two minds about whether to share this card. A few weeks ago I discovered a colleague was about to celebrate her Silver Wedding anniversary and had to get super speedy with the crafting as it turned out to be the next day! However 'super speedy' doesn't always make for a good end result.

All that said, this is the perfect Tiddlyinks image for the happy couple as Jayne teaches dance where I work, and wears her hair in a neat little bob. I tried to colour the image in grey tones but it looked rather washed-out, so I decided to 'pep it up' with some turquoise highlights and pretty papers. 

Thankfully Jayne loved the card and even did a beautifully choreographed happy dance to prove it!

Happy crafting everyone!

Very revealing...

Its the August Card Chain Challenge reveal!

Here's the card I sent to Oreet, who was my recipient this month. I decided to go bright and cheery... and totally whimsical with this cute stamp from Tara Wakefield. As always the big reveal over at Deborah's is well worth a visit as there are some very talented crafters who take part each month.

My sender for August was Dawn in NZ. I love her sweet Tiddlyinks card, as does my mom who would have quite happily taken it home with her if I had agreed!

The Card Chain Challenge runs each month under Deborah's watchful eye and if you click here you can go and sign up for her September Challenge. This month she has bagged another fabulous challenge sponsor meaning one lucky participant will be winning some gorgeous Lawn Fawn goodies at the end of September.

Finally, to further enhance my credentials as a crazy cat lady I'll point you in the direction of this fabulous post over at The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee. Scroll through and enjoy all of the sweet kitten photographs but pause at picture #5 to see the world's happiest kitten ever! Guaranteed to brighten your day and melt even the hardest non-kitten-loving heart.

Happy crafting everyone.
