FAVOURITE PET?

Morning All,

We have a new challenge today over at AYLI and we are sking you to shire a project containing your favourite pet. 

Apart from a few fish over the years dogs are the only pet I've had.  We have a little ruby Cavalier at the moment who is nearly 14 and the house would seem really empty without him.

I have made a tag for my DT project with a little pup from the MFT Happy Pawlidays stamp set.  I have coloured him with copics.  The sentiment is from the same set and the tag die, together with the topper which has been cut from a snippet of paper, is from Marianne Design.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

CAS WITH DIES

 Morning All,

I hope you are managing to keep cool in the heat we are having at the moment.

I won a previous CAS on Friday challenge with my Christmas Birds card and am pleased to have been invited to be a Guest DT for their new challenge which is 'CAS with Dies'.

I don't normally make CAS type cards as I struggle a bit with all the white space.  For this one I used Cute Open Rose from Altenew in a peachy colour card and darkened them in the centre with some ink.  The leaves were cut in white cardstock and inked with two shades of green from Altenew.  A Tessatina die from Memory Box has been added to a stitched rectangle of linen card amd the two flowers added.  The sentiment is heat embossed onto gold card and is from LOTV.

Thank you for visiting and have a lovely weekend.

USE STENCILS

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the optional theme to go with Anything Goes is Use Stencils.

I have used a Gina K stencil called Modern Hyrdrangeas and coloured them with Oxides, Saltwater Taffy and Worn Lipstick.  The leaves are two shades of green from Gina K mini ink cubes.  I have added a Creative Expressions sentiment in gold mirri card and a few gold and pink sequins for a bit of sparkle.

Two winners will each receive three random stencils/sets from those below.

Have a good weekend.  A quiet day for me today. I might watch a bit of tennis and then out for a Sunday lunch tomorrow.

See you soon,

NON CARD PROJECT AT AYLI

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all well.  I had a dental appointment yesterday for root canal treatment.  I can honestly say I was dreading it, but thankfully it was a lot better than I thought.  One more appointment in a fortnight, but at least I know what to expect now.

Anyway, enough of that.  It's time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share your favourite non-card projects.  It can be anything from tags and boxes to knitting etc.

Over the last few months, when the mood takes me and in between cards,  I have been decorating this little house shaped shelving unit.  I used to belong to a monthly subscribed club called Crafteezee and this little unit came with that along with lots of embellishments that I wouldn't use on a card so I decided to get on with it and use some up.  I painted it in white emulsion and decorated the rooms with snippets of paper.  I rummaged through my stash for anything suitable and arranged them into their little rooms. 

The sponsor for the challenge is:

with a prize for the lucky winner.

I hope you can join us and you  can see more inspiration from the DT here.

Have a good day and I will be back soon.

CHRISTMAS BIRDS

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you are managing to stay fairly cool in the heat we are having at the moment here in the UK.  I stayed in most of yesterday and think I will be doing today as well.

I was pleased when I saw the CAS Christmas card challenge had started again as it gives me that incentive to start on said cards.  They used to be my favourite type of card to make, but seem to be lacking in my makes at the moment.

I decided to ink up these unused cuties from Gerda Steiner.  I stamped the branch and birds onto the stitched rectangle and, because I had already inked the card with blue sky, I stamped the birds again onto some snippets of copic friendly card, coloured them and then fussy cut.  I managed to colour the branch over the blue without it showing through.  Glitter was added to their hats and the star and the sentiment, which comes with the set, stamped in black.

I would like to enter:

Thank you for your visit and have a good day.

BLOOMS,BIRDS, BEES

 Good Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts and the theme which runs alongside Anything Goes is Blooms, Birds and/or Bees.

For my card I have used two Pretty Pink Posh sets, Spring Birdhouse and Spring Foliage dies.  The bird is an unbranded one and I have coloured him with copics and shaded the flowers with various inks.  Memory box clouds and a sentiment from Penny Black finish it off.

The prize for the lucky winner is a Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Glorious Bouquet stamp set from Buddly Crafts.

I hope you can join us. Have a good weekend and I will see you soon.

FAVOURITE COLOUR COMBO?

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It where we would like to see projects using your favourite colour combo.

I do love yellow and green on white.  I think it's so fresh looking and for my card I have used a neglected set from The Greetery called Birthday Blooms.  I have stamped various pieces  then die cut and arranged around the large sentiment which is also part of the set.  A die from CraftAddiction was used for the main white square.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the rest of the inspiration from the team.

Thank you for visiting and have a good day.  It looks as though it's going to be a warm one here.
