Sarah Kay sketch challenge

This week's challenge over at Sarah Kay (the german one) is a fab sketch, which is so simple to use and makes such lovely cards!
I've used:

• Kaboodle Doodle's upcoming kit 'Berry Bright' for the sentiment, stripey and flowery papers.


• Lime green and bright orange cardstock


• Dotty ribbon to tie on the buttons


• A flower button, 2 orange buttons and 2 candy pink buttons


• A hot pink felt flower


• Sarah Kay image coloured in with marvy pens


• Foam pads to make the sentiment and image 3d

Buttons!

Yay I've managed to combine this weeks SBS Challenge design team piece, Papertake Weekly challenge with something that I've been needing to make for a while... i've made a button storage box as my piddly tray they were in was starting to overflow so it wouldn't close... This started out life as a tub of jelly beans.. I then covered it with white tissue paper and PVA glue... then i stamped another sheet of tissue with a red ink pad and then covered that with PVA onto the pot as well... after many hours drying I could add the dotty ribbon, then the red felt flowers and finally some dome letter stickers to spell out the word 'buttons'... so there we are practical, useful and fun to make... oh and very messy lol!

So come join in this week's SBS challenge 'something useful'!

Magnet clipboard

Ok so here's an idea that I found on Deena's blog a little while ago... I didn't use the chunky coasters like she did, I had beermats so I used the last one to make this...

I've used:

• Dotty paper from kaboodle doodle download kit 'Grey'
• One lime green brad
• Chunky dotty black and white brad
• Lime butterfly ribbon
• Lime green bulldog clip
• Lime green paper and flower template

Puppy Love ATC

Just a quick piece this time.. it's my entry for 2 of this weeks challenges... Arty Girlz theme is 'no shop bought pattern papers' and Scrummy Stash Cafe 'all that glistens is not necessarily golden'.... so I've made an ATC with a stamped background using the dovecraft puppy love set and the swirls set, then i stamped my gold inkpad all over it to add sparkle... i used my new PB stamp 'Just next to you!' which i coloured in with marvys and added gem hearts to replace the stamped hearts.. and finally i added some of the gold hearts rescued from my mum's wedding presents lol... so in this case gold is glistening mainly.. but the red hearts sparkle too :)
