Relax! It's your birthday!

Having made the previous two cards with some of the remains of the Kanban everyday essentials kit, I just had to make this one - mainly because I accidentally put adhesive on the back of the shaped piece that I've used for the middle when I was making the previous card - so I couldn't put it away. The only trouble was that I have very little of the kit left, so I've used bits and pieces of it to create this card - a true concoction made with snippets! (actually I still have one or two odd bits left, so I'll have to find other stuff to go with those to use them up - don't like to throw anything away!).


This is for:

Pixie's crafty snippets 31
Squiggle stamps: stash attack
Crafty sentiments: clean and simple
Cute card Thursday 228: clean & simple
Fashionista 5: baby or birthday
Papertake: anything goes
2 sisters 103: anything goes
Challenge up your life 75: everything goes
Make it Monday 101

To mew from meow

This is another card using some of the remains of the Kanban everyday essentials kit from the 'pet' section.

The three ovals held in place by brads aren't glued down so they can move and swing. I was fortunate enough to be asked to be a Guest Designer on Tuesday Throwdown for the month of August,  so I've already shown a card for challenge 110: on the move (you can see it here), but I'm also submitting this card for the challenge.

Green with envy

Before I show my latest card I just want to thank those who visit my blog and leave comments - they are all very much appreciated. And thank you to all my followers - when I started this post I had reached 400 followers (how on earth did that happen?) and now I notice that there are 401 - thank you, everyone, for your interest in my little crafting corner of the internet.

This is for sketch for All kinds of cards 59:


I've chosen shades of green for Crafts and me 95: green with envy, also for Lollipop crafts: monochromatic and Totally papercrafts 128: monochrome.

I used all offcuts, so this is another for Pixie's crafty snippets 31 and Squiggle stamps: stash attack.

The stamp is from a Kanban set, ribbon, gems, flowers etc from stash.
