Thank you to everyone who has dropped in and left a comment recently, much appreciated!

This is the first of two cards I’ve created using the lovely sketch created by Tiets for the first Sugar Bowl Challenge. The challenge is open until Midnight GMT on Wednesday 14th January, and there is a very generous prize up for grabs, so if you haven’t entered yet, get going!


Stamps: “Cheddar” from the Sugar Nellie Homegrown range, available at Funky Kits. “Just for You” sentiment – an old wood mounted Elzybells stamp.
CS/DP: Basic Grey “Cupcake” and Crate Paper for the envelope.
Ink/Colouring: Stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Coloured using Copic Markers. Edges of CS distressed using Distress Inks.
Embellishments: Metal frame, photo corners and brads from Hodge Podge Hardware set by Stampin Up, through my Demo – Stampin Caz
Misc: Janome Sew Mini for stitching. Spellbinders Nestabilities – Labels Two.

Apologies for the quality of the photos, the light here has been awful.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed here that my replacement Cuttlebug turns up soon, I am truly lost without it, especially since the Nestabilities Labels One set I’ve been waiting for arrived today.

EDIT: I forgot to say, that this is also the card I have chosen to send to Tina’s (of High Hopes Stamps) Grandfather. If you haven’t already seen the request for cards, please go and take a look at Ila’s post.

Candy Alert: Bev has some gorgeous candy on offer to celebrate passing 100,000 hits on her blog. Congrats Bev!
