Sally Bee's Cards and Chat: October 2016

Wednesday, 5 October 2016

Hey all...

Dropping in mid week to show you a recent special order for a friend at work.

Her little boy George was celebrating his 1st Birthday and she wanted a card to show his love of Ducks with a Blue and Yellow theme...

This stamp was just perfect!

Stamped with extra ducks and coloured with Promarkers,

I cut it out and mounted onto a scallop and circle base.

I'm a huge fan of Gingham paper for babies cards so had to include this.

The big number 1 was hand cut and was great for the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment.

GEORGE was created out of glittery foam letters which came from The Works.

Check out that very cute Duck ribbon which was already in my stash

and I have to say is a few years old.

Some challenges;

Aud Sentiments...Anything Goes + sentiment

Crafty Friends...Special Occasions

Pile it On...Sparkle

I used Glitter Foam Letters.

Crafty Catz...Birds of a feather

Thanks for popping in to see my card.

I'll be back later!

Please leave me a comment as I love reading them!

Love from Sally-ann

Happy weekend all...

and we're into October already!

It's certainly getting darker and a bit cooler in the UK.

I've notched up a few weeks of Christmas card making now.

My latest card is made with

stamps and papers.

This is a lovely stamp to colour in...I used my Promarkers to match it to the paper pack.

I love the sentiment too, which will be so useful on lots of my cards!

I made the Poinsettias white this time with silver leaves to keep with the icy feel.

Challenges...

ABC Christmas...T is for Two

(Two Poinsettias, Two Doillies, Two kids)
Fab and Funky...Christmas

Hoping to get back into the craft room tomorrow for some special orders!

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Love from Sally-ann
