HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where we are having 17th birthday celebrations so the theme is an easy Anything Goes.

For my card I have used the cute Penny Black mice. I think it's called A Stitch in Time and I  have coloured them with copics amd used old LOTV backing papers, together with a gingham ribbon and pearls.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.

There are numerous prizes on offer from Buddly Crafts, Lavinia, Highlight Crafts and Art Impressions as well as some surprise goody bags so I do hope you can join us for this special challenge.

I would like to enter:

See you soon,

FAVOURITE SEASON AT AYLI

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and would like to know what your favouirte Season is and why please.

Mine is definitely Spring.  I love it when the weather starts to get a bit warmer, the gardens start to come to life again and I can get out there and do some tidying.

For my card I have used my Spring Boots again from Dreamees, this time in green and I have pulled out a square doily from my stash and used tags from CraftAddiction UK.  The papers come with the images and I have used a mini scalloped border die from MFT under the striped paper.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you will be able to join us and I will see you again soon.

MONOCHROMATIC

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where the theme to go alongside Anything Goes is 'Monochromatic'.

I have chosen to use a Stampin Up die set, Blossoms in Bloom, with the top layer cut out in white and the bottom in lilac. I have placed them onto white card and then die cut a mat with a double stitched square.

The sentiment has been heat embossed in silver and a final touch of a few sequins have been added.

There are 2 prizes, A5 stamp set and A6 stamp and stencil 

I hope you can join us and our next challenge will be a special Birthday celebration with numerous prizes on offer.

Have a lovely weekend.

FAVOURITE SKETCH/LAYOUT?

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It where we are asking to see your favourite sketch or layout.

This is the layout I usually go to when I'm stuck for an idea.  I find it's well balanced and I'm always pleased with the end result.

I have used a Penny Black image called 'You're the Bestest'  coloured with copics and used kraft card for the mats and papers from a First Edition pad.

The sponsor for this challenge is:

I would like to enter:

SUPER DOG!

 Morning Everyone,

I hope you've had a good weekend.  I've not ot been well this last week with a chesty cough and cold, but am just about over it now thank goodness.

When I saw the challenge over at Passion for Markers it gave me a reason to get out an unused stamp set which I bought in the sale at Dies to Die For and this is what I made with it.

 It's a MFT stamp set called Superdog and I have tried to colour each one in dfferent shades of copics onto a postage stamp die from CraftAddiction UK.  They were quite fun to colour and I can see me having another play with them now they're out of my NBUS basket.  The sentiment and little words come with the set too.  It's such a shame that a company as big as MFT has gone out of business.

I would like to enter:

Have a good week and I will be back soon.
