Two cards - one challenge!

Over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge there's a lovely sketch, with a 'Chocolate orange' colour theme.
I've made these two cards, mainly using papers from PM Inspirations Earth Tones stack, and bits & pieces from my stash.
Unfortunately, my camera seems to have made them turn a bit purple, instead of brown! Not sure how that happened..

And the heavens darkened...

Went away last weekend to Lincolnshire, visiting old churches and archives, you know, doing lovely things! Below is a picture of Whaplode Church, which was the scariest church ever! There was no-one else around, and all your could hear were crows calling. Every time I took a picture of the church my camera added face recognition to it! I tried the church door three times, but it wouldn't open, so we walked around to the other side of the church. All of a sudden the wind picked up, and there was an almighty howling/moaning noise (obviously the wind in the trees, but still scary!) We went back round heading to the car, and as we passed the door my friend tried it and it opened immediately! Then inside the church there was a strange knocking noise, and I couldn't get the door open to leave! I won't be going back there again!

Cheapo Embellishments

I bought some 'scrapbook kits' in Poundland yesterday which had some pretty cute chipboard embellishments and dome stickers in. Here are a couple of cards with the bits on - think you'll agree they're worth the money! I've still got loads of bits left, too.

One card - two challenges

Decided to do one card for 2 challenges. First is the great sketch at Sketch and Stash .

Second is the 'Favourite Colour' theme at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge .


I used my much neglected PM Inspirations Cool Tones paper for most of it, with a dash of PM Venetian Skies. Not sure where the 'wishes' sentiment came from - found it languishing at the bottom of a drawer. All I know is, it was a pig to work with - it's metal & very bendy!

Pretty Hippo Girly Cards

These are very simple, but I really like them!

New Baby Boy!

My cousin's wife gave birth to a boy early this morning. Welcome to the world, little Joe!
