A little bit crafty clean and simple challenge? Oh go on then.......

The challenge at A Little Bit Crafty this month is to show us something CAS- Clean and Simple.


I love clean and simple cards, not that I make them that often, but I do like the uncluttered look now and then, although looking at the state of my house since we got back off our holidays, cluttered is very much the word at the moment.......  

This made me laugh far too much. There's another in the series of "cake" cards..... I'll show you that another day.

Coloured using my ubiquitous watercolour pencils. The cake is from a Kanban set, and the cups are Stampotique. Can you spot the gloss on some of the circles?

Hope you like it, and hope you can join us at ALBC. There are some smashing prizes up for grabs, as ever.

I think I may be onto something here.

Unfortunately for you, that means more notepads!!!  Aaaaaaaagggggges ago I made a gorgeous background. So gorgeous I couldn't bring myself to use it as a background and cover it up, so it has been hanging around waiting for me to find some inspiration for weeks. Here it is.....

Pretty eh? It's made using a set of Stampin' Up flower stamps of Michelle's- I don't own them yet, and they're not current, but I live in hope of coming across them some day! It's sort of inspired by a Craft Stamper article earlier this year.

Right, so..... I came across some very reasonably priced little notepads in the supermarket, just the right size to pop into your handbag, and blow me down, if inspiration didn't strike!

They just needed cupcakes and ribbon!! The cupcakes are coloured with Promarkers to match and glittered with Stickles. I have plans to make lots more for teachers and friends for Christmas.

I'm entering these into the I Love Promarkers blog challenge- Cupcakes and Craftalicious challenge- Anything goes.
