Hi everyone,
The title of this blog just seems right at the moment just because……. it’s the title of my card…..it just how things are at the moment…..it’s just my excuse and it’s all Just Because.
Last weekend I attended the Stampin’ Up! Regional meeting and it was lovely to catch up with friends, talk, stamp and just tune out of everything else for a while.
There was lots of inspiration and excitement with the launch of the new catalogue this month.
One of the things I have purchased is the Delicate Doilies stamp set and the co-ordinating DSP Flirtatious Specialty.
The colours in this DSP are lovely : Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty In Pink, Daffodil Delight, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White.
There is a also a 2 Doily Laser Cut double sided sheets in the pack.
I had been looking at the challenges this week and I have completed a card for the Just Add Ink Challenge using the Melon Mambo Doily Laser Cut Sheet from the DSP Pack.
The Just Add Ink Challenge is to use White plus ONE other colour!
So I have used Melon Mambo and Whisper White.
Here is my card:
Supplies:
Stamp set: Delicate Doilies, It’s Your Day
Card: Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo
Accessories: Flirtatious Speciality DSP, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive
A simple card and you could put any note on the inside and send to someone Just Because.
Until next time…Meg x

Hi everyone,
Back with a new card to share and I have taken inspiration from two challenges:
A sketch challenge from Just Us Girls
A sentiment challenge from Paper Players
A colour challenge from Meighan (LOL):
Night of Navy, Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.
I used Night of Navy for the base of my card and then I added an embossed piece of Riding Hood Red cardstock. The embossing folder used is the Elegant Lines textured impressions embossing folder.
The butterflies are from the Beautiful Wings and Beautiful Butterflies Dies and I have used the Stampin’ Pastels Night of Navy to create a touch of shading on the two Very Vanilla butterflies.
I have used the Circle Scissor Plus to cut out the large two circles. The large circle is from a sheet of the Botanical Gazette DSP.
Supplies:
Stamp set: Perfect Punches
Card: Night of Navy, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Botanical Gazette DSP, 3/8” (1cm) Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin‘ Pastels, Sticky Strip, Scallop Oval Extra-Large Punch, 1-3/8” x 5/8” (3.5 cm x 1.6 cm) Oval Large Punch, Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Dies, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies, Basic Pearls, Elegant Lines Embossing Folders, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

Hi everyone how was your weekend?
Mine was great! I caught up with a friend of mine I have know since were 5 years old and every time we catch up it is wonderful.
Our children all played together and it was nice to get away for the weekend. I think sometimes we forget to stop and just enjoy times like this.
That was my weekend but now on to the card I have created for two challenges.
The sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary and the current Play Date Cafe Challenge.
From the picture inspiration at the Play Date Cafe I have used Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz and and Very Vanilla.
I have used Riding Hood Red for the base of my card and I have also used some of the Botanical Gazette DSP from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.
Supplies:
Stamp set: Nature Walk, Clearly for You
Card: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive Very Vanilla
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: 3/8” (1cm) Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, SNAIL Adhesive
I used a dauber to add a touch of Cherry Cobbler to the edges of the DSP.
I love the image of the butterfly on the DSP, they just seem to be flying in the background.
Thanks for visiting again, please come back soon.
Until next time keep creating…. Meg x

Hi everyone,
How was your weekend? Hope your week is off to a good start!
I did go to the movies with my Mum and saw “Water for Elephants” – it was a very good movie but I the circus master was a very cruel man!
I know that they say that the book in normally better than the movie but for this movie I do not believe I could read the book. I must say the elephant in the movie was beautiful – as beautiful an elephant can be !
On to crafty things and I have a card to share with you.
The colours have been inspired by the challenge at The Play Date Cafe – It’s Black and White with a touch of Green.
The sketch layout was from Sketch Frenzy Friday – this sketch has closed but I liked the simplicity of it:
I have used Basic Black for the base of the card and I have embossed the Whisper White in the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines embossing folder.
Supplies:
Stamp set: Clearly for You, Pocket Silhouettes
Card: Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: 1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Large Punch, 1-3/4” (4.4 cm) Scallop Circle Extra-Large, 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) Basic Black Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, White Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive
This was a really quick card to do and I just love the large striped grosgrain ribbon.

Hi everyone – how are you going for Thursday? I am well, feeling great and looking forward to the weekend.
We have our fortnightly girly get together this Friday where we probably do more talking then crafting but it is a great way to wind down and catch up.
Also I am going to the movies with Mum this weekend to see ‘Water for Elephants’ – a girly flick and we will catch up with Dad for dinner after the movies.
So speaking of girly things, I have created a card that fits into three current challenges:
The first is the very Girly Challenge from the Friday Mashup Challenge - Ribbons, Pearls and all things Girls – what a beautiful little girl!
The second challenge is from SUO challenges – Flowers for May. You can visit this site to see this challenge if you click here.
The last challenge is from Paper Players and is a Sketch Challenge # 48:
I have used a colour combo of Melon Mambo, Basic Grey and Old Olive with Very Vanilla, as well as the lovely Vintage Vogue stamp set.
I cannot believe a few months ago I was struggling to think of ways to use this set! I have used this lovely set so many times lately.
For that extra touch I used some of the Chantilly 1/2” Crochet Trim.
Supplies:
Stamp set: Vintage Vogue
Card: Melon Mambo, Basic Grey, Very Vanilla
Ink: Melon Mambo, Basic Grey, Old Olive
Accessories: Textured Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folders, 1/2” (1.3 cm) Chantilly Crochet Trim, Circle Scissors Plus, Sticky Strip, Rhinestone Brads, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive
What do you think ? Leave me a comment if you get a chance and let me know.
I think the sketch challenge really suited the girly theme.
All the best…. Meg x
