Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 19

This weeks challenge is :

"3-2-1"

a project that uses THREE brads, TWO different pattern papers, and ONE flower!

Well I am fed-up of making cards (never thought I would say that!) this weekend so decided to try something different.!
So here's a bird house

- the papers, the template, the flower and the stampies are all from my new and much cherished Candy Doodles CD - Nikky if you ever read this - it is one of the most wonderful Cd's I have in my collection and def. will be ordering the Christmas one!
The brads are front and back (hearts)


and holding on the cherries at the front, 2DPS - one for the roof, the other for the body of the house and one flower on the side of the roof! Incorporating the brads was a toughie!
The stamps are from U-Mount Cupcakes (cherries) and the wording is from Elusive Images Oliver Twitter available at Graphicus.

What fun - I will be making another - so easy to do!

Polka Doodles Challenge 7 August

This weeks challenge is a sketch!
Very round - am not good at round I have to say but I had a go and this is what I came up with using the Sugar Birdies CD.
I decorated the inside too and left my "mark" at the back!












The flower designs on the CD are great!
I used a circle compass cutter on a square card and on the papers - am not that brill at keeping the "thing" still in the centre - and then you have to cover the hole!
Still - it was a sharp learning curve!

Sleep time!
Night all
