A bit manic this week

I'm a bit behind in my blogging this week as I've had a crazy week. Not really sure why but it is always a rush to get last minute things done before the summer holidays are over and I have to go back to work.

Anyway here's just a few bits I've done this week. This first project is for 3 Papertrey challenges, with the main one being A Passion for Papertrey's Polka Dots challenge. I also used Papertrey Peeps #4 to CASE one of Nichole Heady's cards from the February/March releases and I CASED this card of Nichole's. I also made a little matching picnic basket to hold a gift for Papertrey Peeps #5 template challenge. I completely missed my friend birthday from the other week and will see her back at work on Wednesday so I made this matching set for her belated birthday pressie. I just need to go and get some pretty purple jewellery to go in the box as well now.

Recipe:

Stamps: Everyday Button Bits, Polka Dot Basics II

Papers: Plum Pudding, Lavender Moon, Stampers Select White

Inks: Plum Pudding, Lavender Moon, Whisper White (SU)

Accessories: Beautiful Blooms Dies #3, Vintage Cream felt, Lavender Moon Buttons, Picnic Basket template, Plum Pudding Swiss Dots ribbon, Bookmark Die

My next one is another PTI card with a bit of SU added. This one is for the Sketch challenge on SCS #295 and the colour challenge #285 to use Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive, with a dessert option of using a doily. I loved the doilies that Betsy Veldman made on her blog here so thought I would have a good at doing one myself. I don't quite have the same stamps as Betsy but I think it still looks kinda doily like.

My next card is late for the challenge but hey ho, that's nothing new for me really! This one is for Just Magnolia's #69 Let's Get Sentimental challenge, Just Us Girls #47 to use Lime, Hot Pink and Teal and for Mojo #55.

And my final is a lovely bright colour combo from Stacey for her Curtain Call #44 to use Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Whisper White. As I haven't got the inks in the new colours I had to improvise and embossed in white on the cardstock instead and loved how the flowers came out! This one is also for Sweet Stampin's #40 for the sketch.
