Three little piggies

Hi folks,

Just popping in to share a card I made for the 3rd birthday celebration of one of our nieces. Her birthday party theme was all about Peppa Pig (she's a fan) so I thought this card would fit the bill.

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, white card stock base
• patterned paper: CTMH Beautiful Friendship and Gimme Some Sugar
• sentiment: CTMH (a birthday mini)
• The piggy is from a very old stamp set from The Greeting Farm, among some of the first I bought probably.
• layout is inspired by card sketch 707 on Splitcoaststampers

As always, thanks for stopping by!

May Cross Canada Blog Hop

Hi Folks!

Welcome to our May Cross Canada "Celebrating Relationships" Blog Hop.

If you've just hopped onto my blog, then you CAN start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada, then please start at the beginning at Michelle's blog. If you came from Colleen's blog then you are in the right place!

This month we're all about celebrating the relationships in our lives - friends, family, loved ones - those who make an impact in our every day!

Today I'm sharing some cards that celebrate one of the first relationships we all have - the one with our Mom's. Mother's day was just a week ago so I thought I would share the cards I made for some of the special Moms in my life - there are quite a few.

Five cards in total - all using the following products from the new Seasonal Expressions Idea Book:

• the "Beautiful Friendship" paper collection
• a stamp and the layout from one of the cards in the "In My Heart" Cardmaking workshop
• a stamp from the "Mother's Garden Stamps and Thin Cuts" Bundle

That's it for me! Up next is I'm sending you back to Michelle (we're a small crew this month).

Remember - if you get lost you can always head back to Michelle's blog as she has the full list of participants.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we are able to inspire you in some way. If so, please leave us a comment as we love to hear back from the hoppers! We hope you are able to join us again next month. So be sure to mark June 15th on your calendar as we create with the "Colours of the Rainbow" in mind. And don't forget, you can reach out to your local consultant to purchase any of the items you see on the hop today!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Friendship - Bad Influence

Hi folks

Just popping in today to share another card using the "Beautiful Friendship" collection from CTMH.

Since this card was for one of my dearest friends for her birthday, I just had to use this sentiment from the Documented cardmaking stamps and Thin Cuts set.

I hope it made her chuckle.

The layout for this card was inspired by this month's Viva La Verve sketch.

CTMH Beautiful Friendship - Most of My Heart

Hi folks,

This month at CTMH we're showcasing the "Beautiful Friendship" collection. As it happens, I used those gorgeous papers (my favourite from the new idea book) for this card to celebrate 18 years with my dearly beloved.

I quite like how this one turned out.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

CTMH Beautiful Friendship Reasons to be Happy

Hi folks,

Today I'm sharing my favourite of the make and takes from the consultant launch party for the new CTMH Seasonal Expressions Idea Book.

This card features the "Beautiful Friendship" paper collection - quite possibly my favourite from this idea book. I liked it so much that I used it on all the Mother's day cards I made this year.  I'll share those sometime soon.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
