When Patti met Sally.........

It should actually be Sally-Ann, as in the fabulously talented Mrs Hancock but it didn't fit :) and I shall show you why I came up with this ingenious (not) title :) I needed a card in a hurry this morning but didn't have the time to start looking for matching papers etc and Kirsty's cd, Patti Picklicious was staring at me and so the inevitable happened. Instead of trying to reduce the off cut paper mountain even further, I printed of another half dozen sheets! I also used the Truly Scrumptious challenge from 29th April which also stated that the card had to be good enough to eat.

The papers from the cd are the Filligree Baby Girl split sheet and the Chocolate Fudge Spots. I also used the Happy Birthday 'button' from the Circle Greeting section. The cupcake image is one of Sally-Ann's drawings which have been turned into acrylic stamps by Nikki at DewDrop Craftz I coloured the image with my PMs and added glitter to the icing and Glossy Accents to the cherry on the top :) The card looks wonky in the picture but it isn't IRL.........honest LOL

Papertake Weekly

I took a break from wedding stationery yesterday and just made cards! I shouldn't have really as I have enough work in to last me for months but my card box is looking very bare, my shops need topping up and Father's Day will be upon us before we know it!

After five years in the wedding business I still find it difficult to balance stationery orders, card making and housework...the latter being the least important but still necessary LOL

Anyway, yesterday I made cards, I have a couple more to finish today, then I will put together 72 place cards while I help DH update the web site :) as well as posting all the challenge cards on here......I'm just glad females are made to multi task (heaven knows what would happen if I were a bloke :))

The image is one of Sally-Ann's lovely precoloured digital download images (it's actually a Valentine image LOL) from Grab-a-Doodle-Do All I did with it was add Glossy Accents to his eyes, nose and heart. I spend more time thanking Sally-Ann for making my life easier than anything. She is an absolute star and a lovely online bud :)........Thank you. Look out for some of Sally-Ann's images as stamps now on sale at DewDrop Craftz So back to my card........the paper is Under The Boardwalk by Daisy Bucket and the little silver brads are from my stash.

TFL I will be back soon with loads more cards from yesterday.
