Messy Rabbit saves the day

I was asked to make a couple of cards for work colleagues. One was for an engagement and another was a thank you card that had a tortoise on it. I had very short notice for both cards so with limited time my Messy Rabbit CD came up trumps for both. I have used Bazzill cardstock to mat the images and some little sparkly circles on the engagement card, which you might make out in the close up. The letters were done using the Moxi alphabet and my Quickutz Squeeze. Hopefully I will get the chance to do some stamping and colouring soon- I am having withdrawal symptoms!
thanks for looking

Sketch Saturday

Another superb sketch from Sketch Saturday, I will use this again I'm sure. The papers are Basic Grey Boxer and the image is a Sugar Nellie. I think he is called Porridge. I have watercoloured him and inked around the image with chalk ink before matting on some darker paper. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash.
I have popped a card on here as well that I made for my neighbour who had a baby boy yesterday. Made using the Messy Rabbits CD by Joanna Sheen.

Friday Sketchers and a special baby card

This week's sketch on Friday Sketchers was a challenge for me but I am really pleased with the way the card turned out. I used Urban Prairie papers by Basic Grey, some co-ordinating strips of Bazzill CS and the image is by Paperbag Studios which I have coloured using Distress Inks. The stamped swirls are by HOTP and I added a Prima flower with a small flower punch from the DP on top, secured with a black brad.I have a few friends with birthdays in March so this card is the first of many needing made this week.



My lovely little nephew is now home and I am desperate to get to see him and have a cuddle. I have used both Messy Rabbits stamps and the Messy Rabbits CD to make this card. The name has been cut using the Quickutz Squeeze and Moxie alphabet.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave

Been a busy week.

I haven't managed any challenges at all this week as time seemed to run away from me. Here are the three things I did manage to get done. The first is a card using my Messy Rabbit stamps from Joanna Sheen. These are so cute. I wateroloured the images using my Derwent pencils and the paper was a scrap from my stash so I have no idea who it is by I'm afraid.

I bought a bingo board from Poundland for altering. I covered the front with the gorgeous Rustic Gems papers and edged it with Adirondack Dabbers in Gold. On the reverse I used various dabbers blended together. I then coloured a couple of Grungeboard pieces with the gold dabber and attached them to the front of the board using Glossy Accents.It is now winging it's way to a friend and I hope she likes it.

I did find time to use the latest Handbagz board from the Glitter Girls to make a card for my neighbour. The papers used are Stampin' Up! Certainly Celery collection and I used my new Quickutz alphabet for the name and age.
Thanks for dropping by, here's hoping this coming week has more time to craft.
