Morning Everyone,
I hope you've had a good weekend. I've been potting up plants in the greenhouse but when it got too warm for me I had a play in the craft room and this is the card I came up with.

Morning Everyone,
A new challenge starts at Allsorts today and as well as Anything Goes the optional theme, which I have chosen, is paper piecing.
I have used my Woodware sneakers stamp for this and paper pieced the sneakers with the spotty paper from a Maja Design pad called Denim & Friends.
Morning Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying the lovely sunny weather we are having here in the UK at the moment. I think today is going to be the hottest day of the week.
A new challenge starts today over at As You Like It and we are asking whether you prefer to use soft or bold colours on your projects.
I do like using both but when it comes to making children's cards I prefer to use bolder colours. I think they stand out and grab their attention more than soft colours.
For my card I have used a cute monkey image from Last Minute Manda and coloured him with copics. I have used a MFT cloud stencil for the background and the green starry paper is from a LOTV pad. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Morning Everyone,
It's the start of a new challenge over at Allsorts where the theme, as chosen by Sarah, is 'Inspired by a Song' and there's always 'Anything Goes' too.
My song is Flowers by Miley Cyrus. I'm not a fan of hers but I do like the song and I have plenty of flower images to chose from. I decided to use my Concord & 9th set again called Hello Lovely. I've coloured with copics and used a MFT scalloped border and a snippet of lilac paper from a LOTV paper pad. The sentiment which has been heat embossed in white is also from MFT.
There are three prizes of die sets from In2Craft
Mornng Everyone,
A new challenge starts over at As You Like It this morning and we are asking whether you prefer your projects to be clearn or fussy.
Most of my cards nowadays are on the clean side, mainly due to postage, but when I get the chance to make a special card I do love a bit of fussiness.
This card was for an aunt who loves to receive my cards so I went all out with the flowers etc. The papers are from Pion Design and the numbers are from a Stampin Up set with the sentiment from LOTV. I've had the flowers for a very long time and they are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Morning Everyone,
I hope everyone is well. I've been poorly all week with a chest infection and haven't had the enrgy or felt well enough to do anything. Such a shame as it was such beautiful weather too.
We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where, as well as Anything Goes, we have the option of Stencils/masks as chosen by Val.
For my card I have used a Waffle Flower Butterfly which has it's own co-ordinating stencil and I've used this with Altenew inks. I die cut a second layer of the butterfly in green glitter card, but you can't see it in the pitcture. The background stencil is from a company called CrafTreat. The stencil was cut out with a double stitched square and layered onto green card. The sentiment has been heat embossed in gold and is from an old Penny Black set.
