Crafty Templates 2 + Think Pink Challenge

The second of the cards I've made for the new Crafty Templates set is this one:Have I mentioned how much I love this set of templates? hehehe
I've used paper from the add-on Goodies Kit again here - I liked the idea of putting the music paper inside the card so that it shows through the cut-out frame, I thought it worked well with the little singing birdie. I made his tail by curling some narrow strips of blue Bazzill.
I couldn't decide what sort of greeting to add to this card so I've left it blank - I can add something before I send it, or just leave it this way.

These frame cards are such fun to make, and of course the detail bits, like the little birdie on this one also make fab toppers for cards and other projects too. Once you've subscribed and received your set of templates you can print them off as many times as you like, so you're building up a fantastic library of ideas to use again and again. If you've not been tempted to subscribe to Crafty Templates yet maybe this is the set you've been waiting for!

Next time I'll show the rest of this card:



I've fallen way behind on the challenges for the Think Pink Campaign, but as it's my turn to set the challenge for this week I had to pull my finger out and make something (I think it's Di's way of making sure I do actually make stuff)

My challenge is called "Tartology" and goes like this:
When my mum made cakes etc she'd often say "Kathy, can you just tart this cake up a bit please?" - by which she meant "Could you put some icing on this cake and make it look nicer?"
So "tarting" something up has come to mean prettify, decorate, make something a bit plain look much more enticing.
So this week's challenge is to do some tarting of your own. I'd like you to get hold of a boring, plain, cheap notebook into and make it look fabulous and desirable.
If you've got a Bind-it-all you could also start from scratch and make the notebook too - I use scraps of paper which are offcuts from when I make the inserts for my cards for the pages of BIA books.
The pink one is a teeny weeny BIA notebook, the other one is an A5 hardback bought 2 for £1 at Poundland
Have fun
