Card for Lollipop Ladies challenge

This is the card I have just made for the Lollipop Ladies challenge "Freckles and spots"
http://thelollipopladies.blogspot.com.au/

I used the cuttlebug spots and dots embossing folder, Stampin Up papers, spotted ribbon and Penny Black "Sweet Things" stamp.  I don't know whether you can see the freckles I put on the girl's face.

card made to go with ATCs

As my partner has been very ill I also made a card to go with the ATCs.   I used one of my new whimsy stamps I bought recently from Lime Tart.  "Apple Blossom" by Elisabeth Bell.

The scan is not very good.  It doesn't show the blue and green chalk background on the card.

Have a good weekend.   I have a cold so am not going anywhere this weekend.

ATCs made today

I finally made my ATCs for the April swap for ATCs USA International.    I am not usually this far behind.  I will make for the May swap tomorrow.

April we had to make one out of recycled products and one for the letter A to send to our partner.  With everything that has been happening I couldn't think for a while what to do for the recycled one.  I found some lovely lace material and put it aside but then when I went to make the ATC couldn't find it, so I searched through some other stuff and found some offcuts of material that I used to make a dress for myself 41 years ago.  I haven't made another dress for myself since as I am terrible at sewing.   I also had some old lace ribbon that I brought home when I packed up my mother's house.  I think it may have belonged to my grandmother.  I then added a used postage stamp.  Here is the recycle ATC I made

Here are the "A" ATCs I made

thank you those who are following my blog

I have just noticed I have five followers to my blog.  Thank you.  I hope you enjoy the cards I post.  I am very new at this and haven't yet worked out how to do much on my blog.   Had help from my friend Libby who sent me the instructions on how to put my cards onto the Sunny Challenges blog.
Have a good weekend everyone.

My card for Sunny Challenges this week

It took me ages this afternoon after a busy morning at work to make 2 cards in between washing and reading my emails.
Here is my card for this weeks sketch on Sunny Challenges.  Just realised I made the pattern paper a bit too wide.  Paper is from Stampin Up Patter Pack II, stamps from Stampin Up set "A Kind Word".  Used Elegant Bouquet embossing folder from Stampin Up and Cuttlebug daisies embossing folder.  Hope you like it.
