~Some Cards for CPS celebrations!

**LONG POST**

Good afternoon crafty friends! I have been making cards all week for the sketches over at CPS. They are celebrating their 5th Anniversary and there are 15 sketches and lots of sponsored prizes along the way... PLUS you get your name in the draw for the big prize at the end if you complete all the sketches. Thats what I am working towards :)

Ok I will post them in the order they were posted on the CPS challenge blog, and if you have followed me over from CPS this will be the same post for the day 1-7 links :)

Day 1 - CPS #136

and my card :) I think the owl stamps are basic grey, but threw the packaging out along time ago.

Day 2 - CPS #166

and my card for the sketch, flipped on its side. I used some lovely die-cut flowers that were sent to me by my friend Patrice :) she also sent me the Bella pearl in the flower center. Thanks Patrice! x also some liquid pearls (my new favourtie thing!)

Day 3 - CPS #54

I made a sweet little 4x4 card using MFT felt and hearts a plenty die-namics, and some rouge liquid pearls. The sentiment is from Stampin' up.

Day 4 - CPS #220



Amd again my card :) love these green tara paper flowers, the butterflies are Stampin up and another cut for me from my lovely crafty friend Patrice.

Day 5 - CPS #38

 flipped the sketch on its side and made another valentines day card :)

using MFT die-namics by the letters, by the numbers and hearts a plenty, and more rouge liquid pearls.

Day 6 - CPS #37

and my card, this one was quick and easy!

The brad is basic grey I have been hoarding it for along long time :) the scallop boarder is anothe MFT die-namics die.

Day 7 - CPS #242

and my card. I want to say I was happy that it turned out so much like what I had pictured in my head. I've used the rolled rose and the dog tag and the leafy flourish AND the woodgrain fence MFT die-namics.

Ok well thanks for sticking with me, glad to get them posted on my blog. Have already made days 8 and 9, please pop back Thursday when I will have time to add them x

~Pretty Little Baby Card~

Cutting it fine again :)

Entering this card into CPS #252

I've used Some MFT Die-naimcs = by the letters, dainty doily duo and petel trio. The paper is from the PLS Summer Breeze 8x8 paper pack, rhinestones from kaisercraft and ribbon and brad from my stash.

the paper the letters are cut from can be found here at a fabulous price! Already textured and a lovely thickness to work with.

 I'll also share some photos of some of the lovlies growing in our front garden... Jap pumpkins and some Rockmelons!

We also have some watermelons starting, Hoping for lots of rain next week as it has been so hot and dry here we have to water morning and night and the tank is getting low so I am holding off doing washing lol (any excuse right?) and re-cycling as much water as possible. I also re-potted some tomato seedling last weekend, there were 4 seedlings and I bought a cheaper bag and a more expensive bag of potting mix, I potted up two of each and its amazing to see the difference already! Will share some photos during the week :)

ok a sink full of breakfast dishes with my name on it are waiting paitently in the kitchen... must be off.

Thanks for stopping by! take care x
