Have a good time card

I've had such a busy week with my in-laws plus SIL visiting us that I forgot to post the card I made for this week's sketch at Let's Scrap. Debby's creating fantastic card sketches, which makes it easy to put a lovely card together in a short time. Here's my take on this week's sketch:

Love this design from Cosmo Cricket's Social Club line, it can make any project look great!

You still have plenty of time to post your take on Debby's card sketch and win a fabulous pack of trims and handmade vintage flowers from this week's sponsor, Frogfeathers. 

Rain, rain, rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week's LO feature at Practical Scrappers is Rain, Umbrellas and Puddles. I don't have too many pics of the kind, having spent the past 6 years by the Sahara desert, and the few I have are already scrapped. I started looking at my picture gallery, home pics, holiday pics, school pics, to see if I could find one for this theme, and finally found it! You won't probably notice it, but this was a sunny day! DD had new umbrella and raincoat, and decided she couldn't wait any longer, so she went out fully equipped for the imaginary rain!

I loved this rain technique I saw in this month's CK, so I decided to lift it, but giving it a girly touch. The flower brads were just perfect for this!

Fabric and stitching

Fabric and stitching were the two elements that had to be included for this week's DT challenge at Let's Scrap. Great chance to use up some cute fabric scraps I've had for some time:

The fence, the strip and the banner are fabric, as well as the pieces behind the torn patterned paper. I hand stitched on the green strip as well as two of the buttons. There are 18 pieces of chipboard!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to miss this chipboard set when it's finished, it's just too cute. My Stockholm a,lbum is definitely getting thicker and I love just looking at how big it's getting!!! Far from finished, though. 

Notas

I created another notebook for this week's reveal at Let's Scrap. I can't help it, they look so cute that I think of them every time I see a sketch! I also used glitter+embossing powders on this one, love that combination!

Come and have a look at this week's sketch at Let's Scrap!

Handmade Flowers at Practical Scrappers

The feature today at Practical Scrappers is handmade flowers. We've already had medallion flowers and rolled flowers so I needed to try sth else. I wanted to give a try to some vintage dressmaker patterns I got with my JBS kit, so that's what I used for the flower, topped with a BoBunny Olivia Chipboard element and accompanied by leaves from the same set.

I used the flower in a card.

I don't like fact that the stamp is too high, but could do nothing about it once it was stamped, just colour the letters darker!
