Another challenges card

Hello again,
Yes I was a busy little bee yestarday and have a triple challenge card to share, the challenges are:


For the Less is More - 3 past challenges I chose:
Week 9 - touch of red,
Week 12 - Off centre 
Week 25 - buttons or ribbon

I'm very happy with how this turned out, but then I do like simplicity (from time to time)


I adore this stamp, anyone who knows my youngest will probably understand why.








Stamp - Whiff of Joy, Willow writing recipes (symbol of the challenge) and some old sentiment I dug out.
Cream A5 card blank
Papermania - Kraft paper
Red ribbon from stash
Martha Stewart - Doily broader punch
Spellbinders - Deckled rectangles
ProMarkers - Crimson, Red, Tan, Cinnamon, Cool grey 2, Buttercup, Ivory, Blush and Putty
Wooden Cherries embellishment (coloured with promarkers)

Hope you all enjoy my creation

New Quad Challenge Card

Hello Peeps
New card for 4 challenges:
these were all very interesting challenges and combining them was quite easy, so without further ado:-


































Stamps - Lilli of the Valley (Destiny Moon and Dreamy Days Circular sentiments)
Ribbon - Create n Craft, Harlequin Ribbons set
Promarkers - Lime green, Yellow, Sunflower, Honeycomb, Gold plus skin tones.
Paper - Yellow swirl from stash (possibly lemon sorbet from papermania)
Glitter - Chameleon

I am very pleased with how warm and cheery this card turned out.

Back soon

Cards and Chemistry

Hello
Another day at the chemical plant. I have to say I felt slightly lost today?! The chap who was "training" me, succeeded in confusing me. I would prep my samples and when I turned around, they had vanished. This meant I got in a bit of a muddle over whether I had made up the samples or not.
It may seem crazy, but I get a little bit OCD when it comes to my work. Partly because of a terrible incident at uni that resulted in two days worth of experiment being ruined because someone interfered with my glass wear and my experiment got contaminated. Two days of hard graft and great patience, ruined!!!!
Oh well, live and learn as they say, I'm sure tomorrow will be better

Anyway, what we need here is a nice card, so here you go and I hope you like it:


The sentiment is adorable:

"Best friends are like old quilts,
warm & valuable"

On this card I used;-

Paper - Nitwits paper (free from a mag)
Gold mirror card
Lace- just a tiny piece
White gel pen (for faux stitching)

Although the Nitwits paper had faux stitching, it was quite difficult to see, so just a little enhancement to make it pop.

Night night

New Job

Good evening all

I have a new job.......it's only a temp contract for a few weeks (5-10wks) but I'm back in the lab.
Better still it is only 10 mins from my house. A huge difference from the 60mile round trip I used to do.
So far everyone has been really friendly and I have been told that I'm catching on quite quick
(so not bad considering there are several analysis tests I haven't done since uni).

I shall be back tomorrow with a few cards


Night night for now

Buffy xx
