Clean and Simple Cards

I had a great day yesterday.  I made 4 new cards for orders and added some lettering to another and sold a pair of earrings and a necklace - hurray!!

But now I need to post as I CAN'T let some of these challenges go by without entering!

So this first card uses those cute Forever Friends bears, coloured with tan, blush and ivory promarkers.  I've used a mix of beautiful Papermania Henbury and Heather Capsule Collection papers, with some silver mirri card.  As is usual for me, now that I've accepted that I'm a clean and simple girl, the layout is clean and simple!  I love the challenge of planning the layers carefully so that the adding of flowers or brads is still a tidy finish.  And those labels 12 nesties strike again!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

My Time to Craft - Jewelled

Crafty Cardmakers - Clean and Simple

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Animal Crackers

Our Creative Corner - Abcs and 123s

Secret Crafter - Clean and Simple

Another clean and simple card - maybe TOO clean and simple?  What do you think?  Anyway, it was for an order to say thanks for wedding preparations so thought it kind of suited.

And I'd like to enter the Crafty Calendar Challenge of Blue and Flowers.

And finally, my butterfly card.  The butterfly has been recycled from my birthday pressie from Melly and the simple layout shows it off.  

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

One Stop Craft - Photo inspiration

Sew Many Challenge - Happy Grandparents Day

Ok, that's all the cards, but I'd love to get your help for my best friend, Susan.  She has set up her blog and would love some feedback, please.  If you have a little time, here's her blog, or you can click on the button on my sidebar.  THANK YOU, buddies.  Have a lovely (wet and windy) day!
