Born to .........

......Ride or rather Craft in my case. Of course crafting covers everything from cards to baking, sewing, and even knitting.

But first let's look at my card.

For my Hubby's birthday I made this card and as he's a biker, One Wild Ride was perfect. Have you seen it in the Annual Catalogue? It's super cool.

To create the little scene I teamed up the motorbike with Sheltering Tree. I chose some autumnal colours for my tree using So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie. A few sponged clouds help finish it off.

Speaking of Autumn...... Can you believe we are now in September?

The bad news may be the end of Summer but the good news is our Autumn/Winter mini catalogue is here. Check it out on my side bar. Loads of scummy goodies in there to keep you busy during the dark evenings.

We've also got some cracking sales to have a look at. 25% off certain items until 21st September but keep checking back because it changes each week.

So back to other hobbies.

Check out the little cardie I made for our gorgeous little granddaughter. It only took me 14 years! Yep you heard right! I started it for my daughter (who is now 14), but never got it finished before she grew too big so it was put away. With the news of our new addition I got the pins out and finished it in time for Niamh.

I'll leave you with a picture of Niamh in the cardie.

Isn't she just the cutest?

Take care xx

Thinking of You Sheltering Tree

Mothering Sunday is just around the corner. I got my card posted off today but of course can't show you that one at the moment. A certain someone may have a sneaky peak at my blog and that would spoil the surprise.

This card works easily as a Mothering Sunday, birthday or indeed a sympathy card.

It shows off the absolutely beautiful Sheltering Tree and the sentiment simply reads as thinking of you from the same set.

I've used a card base of Perfect Plum with a mat of Wisteria Wonder and the gorgeous patterned paper from Something Borrowed. Not just for weddings huh?

The featured square has a mat of Blackberry Bliss and panel of Whisper White. The tree is stamped in Perfect Plum for the foliage and Basic Grey for the trunk. Sahara Sand grounds the tree.

Pear Pizzaz ribbon and bow finishes off the card with a flag tag sentiment stamped in Soft Sky, popped up on Dimensionals.

Hope all you Mum's, Granny's, Mum's to be, have a lovely weekend!

Stampin' Up!'s Sheltering Tree

Good Morning.

Whilst it's snowing outside, I had a quick side trip into the crafty space and made this card for Less is More. It's the dreaded one layer week and the theme is New Beginnings.

I've used another newbie from the spring/summer catalogue - Sheltering Tree. This set has loads of options. There's the bike, a rake, a swing, blossom, leaves and four sentiments to go with them. You could do a seasonal set of cards or just mix and match the elements.

I've stamped the tree off the edge in Soft Suede. The tree looks fantastic all bare but for the theme of new beginnings I added some Pistachio Pudding leaves on the ends. They're my new buds. And like a lot of people at this time of year the bike is for the start of new beginnings and a new exercise regime. The bike is stamped in Basic Black and Real Red. The ground is stamped in Crumb Cake. I added the sentiment in Real Red. I used a Crumb Cake base for my card and I'm really pleased how the little scene has come together.

I felt I should be adding touches of white to the tree in view of the scene outside!

Hope it's warmer with you. x
