Truly Scrumptious Challenge #78!

Good morning lovely people! I hope you all had a nice Easter break! I didn't stop the whole time - eating that is! ;-) And seeing friends and family, it was so busy it flew by! I'm here again with a card for this fortnights Truly Scrumptious challenge, this week there is a sketch for you to use, here it is, feel free to flip, rotate etc...

Whiff of Joy is our lovely sponsor this time around!
And here's my card, I decided to flip the piece with the fancy edge as my image covered it all up and I thought it looked cute with the clouds! I haven't used this image for ages but now I'm not sure why, I love these stamps! I guess we just go with the trends but I'm thinking of making a challenge for myself to use old things up on every card, these papers are all from my stash pile too, lets see how I go. I'm probably just thinking of being virtuous now I've just spent a small fortune on this months Die-Namics releases - oops!
Thanks for looking, I hope you can join in!

Penny Black Saturday #115 & Sweet Stop Sketch #70!

Hiya! I'm sorry this is such a late post but I've been galavanting around celebrating my birthday and was in no fit state to post on here yesterday! Ha ha!! I've been treated to lost of food, crafty goodies, wine and a full body massage - bliss! Thanks to my PB teamies for my gorgeous cards and goodies too - I'll pop up a picture tomorrow or tuesday.
But now for my Double DT post, firstly for this weeks Penny Black Saturday challenge which is this great sketch by Domi. There's 2 prizes again this week, a Penny Black stamp of the winners choice from Butterfly Kisses and some Stampin' Up goodies from Valentines.
I've flipped the sketch to fit this cute stamp in and I've kept it quite simple as I thought it would work for a mens card. I'm also going to enter this into this weeks Create 4 Fun challenge which is Birthdays. I hope you like it!

And onto this weeks Sweet Stop Sketches challenge. This weeks it's a sketch with a spin: Think School! And there's Sweet'n'Sassy stamp sets to be won, 1 stamp set for every 30 entries!
As I don't have any kiddy-winks and therefore no need for school related cards, I thought I would make a Graduation card instead using this sweet Anya stamp and some regal looking Pink petticoat papers. As this is a digi image and the papers are too, I'm going to enter this into Stamp Something's Digi day Challenge.
I have no idea why I've made both of these cards with the same colours and ribbon - I made them on completely seperate days! I hope you like them and you can join in with us! Enjoy whats left of the weekend!
