UPCYCLED OR RECYCLED?

Hi there,

Which one is it, upcycled or recycled? Whichever it is that is what I have done with this card, made from one received last Christmas.


A quick one to enter into the April Rudolph Days challenge.  I cut the image out with a stitched die and layered it onto gold mirri card and two strips of paper from my Christmas snippets box.  The background of the card is embossed and so are the reindeer and I thought it was a good one to keep for such an occasion.

I would like to enter this into these challenges:

Rudolph Days April Challenge - Anything Christmas
Simon Says Stamp Weds - Anything Goes
Crafting by Designs - April Get Ready for Christmas

A quick post today.  Thank you for visiting and hope you have a good week.

We are sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy who have kindly provided images for the DT and I have used Summer Kitten.  I have coloured with copics and die cut a blue frame around it.  The papers are from an old LOTV pad and the sentiment is computer generated.  Two little butterflies and pearls have been added as embellishments.

FLOWERS OR RIBBON AT AYLI

Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge over at As You Like It and for this fortnight we would like you to show us a project using your favourite of either ribbons or flowers (and don't forget to tell us why they are your fave please).



I do use both, but for special occasions or family/friends I love to add flowers. I think they make a card look extra special.  For this card I used a LDRS Creative All Dressed Up rubber stamp, coloured her with copics and fussy cut her out.  She has been stuck onto two layers of a Go Kreate Die and all the embellishments, doily and lace added.  The sentiment stamps are from LOTV.

The sponsor for this challenge is

We hope you can join in this fortnight and to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT you can pop over here.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

I hope you all have a lovely day and thank you for visiting.  I'll be gardening today, if the rain stays away and also playing tennis (indoors). Back tomorrow.

FAVOURITE ANIMAL

Hello All,

I'm back with my 2nd card today and it's time for a new challenge over at As You Like It.  For this fortnight we would like you to showcase a project showing your favourite animal.



I have to say my favourites are dogs.  We have two of them and they are so loving and loyal, but I must say they sometimes drive my hubby mad because they follow him everywhere!

I have used the cute MFT Happy Pawlidays stamp set.  I've had the set for ages, but it's the first time it's been used.  I've coloured with copics, made an attempt at masking and used a Joanna Sheen holly edger die.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you will be able to join in and you can see the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the DT if you pop over here.
