Here they are:

A card for my mum and a challenge...

Well i am being quite organised here, but i just loved this Greetings Farm image so much and i thought it was perfect for my mum! I also really love these paper roses from wild orchid crafts - so pretty. I made a plain box for the card to go in (following instructions in Magnolia Ink magazine issue 2) as the flowers are so big! This card is for entry in the Anyone for Anya - flower power challenge:



Also i have my very first follower!! Couldnt believe it! And may I say what a beautiful name you have :)

Something a little different.

This card is something I would never have thought to do and that is why I love doing blog challenges. This card is entering 2 challenges, firstly Anyone for Anya Challenge Good Enough to Eat - my colours are based on my favourite snack Blueberry Muffins so I used different blues and brown. The second challenge is following a sketch from Friday sketchers which can be found here

So here is my card:
