Boys Only

I have used a Kenny K image that is actually a Hobby House Topper from the Kool Kids collection for my plaque.

The papers are from the Bearly Mine Designs Krafty Wishes collection, the letters are Clarity stamps and the stars are a selection of Die-namics and X-cut dies.  I heat embossed the outside of the plaque with black embossing powder - I think this makes a really nice edge and plaited some string to hang it up with.

Spring Bicycle Ride

When I saw the latest challenge over at Moving Along With The Times I decided to join in with the fun - the challenge is to follow the sketch and if you want, to share one of your first cards.

This is my card following the sketch, I have used papers and a topper from the Spring Bringer card kit from The Hobby House.

I have layered my topper onto a die cut scalloped circle and used a sentiment from Craftwork Cards. The flower is a Marianne Creatables die, the button and twine are from my stash.

This is the first ever card that I posted on my blog back in April 2011
