Challenge Cards!

Both of these cards have images from designers that I really like!  So bearing this in mind, I wanted to make the image the focal point of the cards!

This is my first one with Lily of the Valley image on it.  I followed Dawns fabby sketch (which I found harder than I thought!!!) - hubby came in and found me a nice piece of green card from my stash!

Would also like to enter it into Crafty Sentiments Challenge this week - a birthday theme!!!  Have only just discovered the blog and there is a rather fabby digi freebie on there to check out!
And this is for a challenge over at Karen's Doodles.  I just love this image!  Makes me laugh everytime I see it!  And it colours up a dream!

The challenge was to include a tag!  I really hope I don't have occassion to use this particular card - well, not with that tag anyway!  Wow - just thought - you could make a few different cards, a few different tags and give them to someone as a kind of "pick and mix"!!!  That way they will always have the right sentiment to go with the right image!  OK - you read it here first...its my intellectual property!  LOLX

Well - time to go and do other things! Oooops pick up my child!!!

Mother's Day Card

OK - by my standards, this is not last minute!  A colleague of mine at work would be having kittens by now!  It is just so funny the way we are all so different - I really love it, and giggle about it often.

So, the lovely LOTV stamp, flowers from a candy - there is another one on the other side (you can just see the leaf peeking over the top!)...matching bling on the other side too!  Ok, you get the idea.

My take on a tri-fold, bit of a faff as I wanted the zigzags to meet in the middle perfectly.  And they do!  Really like how the bear came out - showed it to Josh and he couldnt see the shading at all - that made me giggle.

Have prepped his card for me - he left his old school half way through making it and lost the bits on the way home!  He was quite upset and really doesnt DO crafting so I redid the bits he had lost and he will be finishing the card this afternoon.  I will show it tomorrow!  I hope!

We have been told by his new school that they think he is ADD - we have suspected this for years - even asked his old school if we should get him tested...no no they said!  He is just lively and has poor concentration!  He IS a smart kiddie so we have always put it down to this BUT now they think he might be ADD - feel like we have been through the mill a bit this week - first a new school, then gallstones, then ADD - phew!  Onwards and upwards as they say!

OK - now, lets see if the cats have thrown up anywhere after eating the hamster! No, they havent eaten the hamster - but with my week.......I will just pop up and check!......
