Double Challenge Saturday

Two challenges and one post see how that works.
Here's my Penny Black card the challenge is called In the Garden, I've been a bit cheeky here cos I decided to use this fellow with his froggy pals. If you've a pond in your garden the chance is you'll have some of this chaps eating your slugs.
I used Cosmo Cricket I think I've managed to mix two collections together. The funky flowers had to have button centres to match the paper. I even distress the edges and I was quite proud of myself that I hadn't made a mess of it like I usually do. Do pop over and check out the rest of the DT amazing cards.


Buttons and Blooms is the challenge on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and I was inspired to make this card when I found the dinky blue buttons. They seemed perfect for a new baby card. The papers are DCWV possible Garden Party. A touch of lace and a ribbon and dinky flowers for the dinky buttons and job done. The DT have been working hard with a secret project so look out for it next week.
Just in case you didn't realise, not that I haven't mention it nearly everyday this week, I'm off to The Glitter Pot to see the demos of course it very likely there will be things to buy, I wonder how long I shall manage to resist.
