Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge # 21

The Challenge this week at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges Blog is "3 pattern papers". I love patterned papers - and I have plenty of them (lol). Today I have used one of my new favourites, it is the Sweet Stitches DSP from Stampin' Up! Isn't it so bright and fun!! I havent used bright colours on cards for a while because I love the vintage look -  but am really happy with how this turned out. These bright colours go so well with the adorable Lil Pinkettes Pippa. I've also used some coloured twine (everyone seems to be using it lately) and just love the effect. The felt flower is made using the beautiful blooms II dies from PTI - I have had my eye on these for the last 12 months and have just bought them!
This is the last of my contributions as May Guest Designer for the challenge blog. Thanks so much for having me, I have appreciated the opportunity and really enjoyed challenging myself.

Tickled Pink Stamps Christmas Challenge # 3!

Wowee, This month I'm a guest designer for the Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges Blog!
For the month of May the Christmas Challenge is "Christmas Tags".

This Mollie Mittens image is just gorgeous isn't she. I've always been a "Rubbah" gal, but for a tag I probably would have rather resized the image a bit smaller (one of the benefits of digi!) as this is quite a large tag (approx 8cm x 16cm), I'm going to have to buy a very big present aren't I (lol). I'm also still enjoying colouring in black and white only.
I love the traditional colour scheme and look at Christmas time and these Graphic 45 papers are just perfect.
