It is Friday again. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a challenge for you which is to choose your favourite AnnaBelle Stamps sketch. To view all of the AnnaBelle sketches you need to head here.

I loved the AnnaBelle sketch AC155 the first time around and I really loved the card I made…it is my favourite card to date. So I decided to choose the same sketch, but this time I flipped it. I wanted to case my first card – so used the same stamp set. I just went with another colour palette which is a bit different for me and changed up some of the elements.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Belles’ projects – their links are on my side bar.

The lovely Darnell has organised a surprise birthday extravaganza for Ardyth, who is celebrating her birthday today!

I have the pleasure of working with Ardyth on the Muse Card Club blog. I love Ardyth’s CAS cardmaking style and she always amazes me with her wonderful, and often clever, creations.

Happy birthday Ardyth. You do so much for the on-line card world – so now it our turn to do something special for you.

May your day be filled with fun, happiness and a little cake 🙂

Please head on over to Darnell’s blog and check out all the wonderful cards that have been made for Ardyth.

Until next time,

I am excited to be back with another card for the Muse Card Club.

I have made a very cheerful and colourful card this week. I had fun colouring in a great stamp set from Jane’s Doodles called Doodle Flowers.

I can’t wait to see how my card inspires you this week.

Here are some of the guidelines if you are unfamiliar with how Muse works.

• Use the Muse card as inspiration, explain your interpretation and link back to Muse.
• Provide supportive comments to at least 3 of your fellow member’s submissions.
• Vote for 3 of your fellow member’s submissions that you find inspiring, once voting opens.

For the full challenge guidelines go here.

I am so glad that you stopped by today,

Hello. It is Friday again. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a fun sketch challenge for you.

As you can see, I am still in Copic colouring mode – but this time I added in some gel pen to add more interest to the flowers. For the circle element I have embossed a circle using a circle nestie and an embossing mat. The flower centres are blobs of white enamel accents – love this stuff!

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamps ‘Flower Power’ Challenge and also into the CASology challenge where the cue card is Bloom.

If you know me, you know I love making tags. Why? I think it is because they can be quick projects – quicker than cards. When I saw that Moxie Fab World had a Gift Tag Challenge, I HAD to play along.

Hello and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Sue’s lovely blog.

Today, the Belles are showcasing the Lil Belles set. There are quite a few Lil Belles sets, so check them all out below. Today I have decided to use A Beautiful Day stamp set.

For those of you who know me, patterned paper and I are not the best of friends. Well… I am pleased to say that several pieces of patterned paper were harmed in the making of this card 🙂

Now for a GIVEAWAY. If you would like to win a Lil Belle’s set (winner’s choice), comment on all of the DT’s blog and then head back to the ABS blog and add your name to the inlinkz. You have until Sunday 8pm (Australian EST) to enter.

Also ALL the Lil’ Belles sets are discounted by 20% for this weekend only.

Your next stop on the hop is the one and only, and very talented Therese.
