Very pretty Natty, love the bold prints.

This was an easel card that I designed in Photoshop, printed out on to photo quality card and cut out and made up (sometimes I like to combine digital and 'organic' into my card making) . . . although 'organic' is my favourite method!

oooh Hazel that is lovely. I love the idea of creating a digi card then making it up - postie friendly too! I love your other cards too - esp. the tri-fold one!

Nat, that is gorgeous as always!

HBD(Wendy) - I love your week 8, they can frustrate the life out of you sometimes can't they?

Amo - really pretty cards - the backing paper on week 1 are scrummy!

Virginia - fab frieebies - is the sentiment one too? I have to say how impressed I am that your background elements matched the prompts too

well, it is still Monday, I do believe this could be a record for me! This weeks is done

would like to say I broke sweat on it but alas it was a rush job for a colleague tomorrow. I had the pearly card already embossed and the roses were already rolled, even the stamp was ready and waiting to be used! All I had to do was find them all and put them together. Ubber thrifty card as the paper and sentiment were free too. Really like the idea of having pre-embossed scraps and even if they are not rolled, having roses ready cut.

I'm not very good at commenting on everyone's cards I'm afraid. They all look lovely though.

Here is my take on the week 9 prompt. This months free papers and resin roses from Simply Cards and Papercraft were just right for the job.

Love the 'vintage' look of your card Lilli. very pretty! Yours is pretty too Virginia.

I love the idea of getting a Mothers Day card done in good time Virgina

and those hand rolled roses are so lovely. I can never get mine to stick properly - do you have a trick for it?

I'm a bit behind in posting my cards. here is the one from the sketch a few weeks back and the one with hearts. I did tags with a photo of a heart shaped biscuit from a packet we bought in Ikea

They are lovely seffie. Really like the ink splashes.

I just use collal 3d glue for sticking all my embellies on they seem to stick quickly with it too.

Thanks

I'll have a look for some of that, then

Lovely cards, everyone

Lilli, I love the way you have used that scallop blank as a tent card instead of ..... er, whatever the name is for having the fold down the left side ..... sorry, total blank there

Here's mine - using some old K&Co paper and one of my oldest stamps, bought around 1993

That row on non-stitching is very effective Natty, must try that.
A very feminine card Hazel, I bet she'll be pleased with that.
Lilliboy, envious of your pretty little flowers, I can never make these look pretty, mine look like big blobs of paper!
Another pretty one Virginia, staged nicely as usual.
Liking the stitching seffie, a nice layered style.
HBD liking the choice of green for this one, very nice.

Some gorgeous rose themed cards.
Not had much time this week, and was struggling with what to do for wk 9, so card is very basic - using some rose stickers I have had since I don't know when !
Also managed a quick and simple card for wk 8's colours.
I'll try and be more inspired next week !

Oooh very nice cards and lovely matryoshka in the background there, my mum has some similar ones in her collection.

arghhhhhh, such a stressful techy night tonight! Trying to post this before the battery goes on my laptop.

Week 8 (I have been in a little bit of a muddle on weeks, must make a chart i think)

This was the closest I could get with the colour. Can't decide what to do with this one so I have left it blank so I can choose at a later date.
