Happy Birthday

Good Morning Peeps, 

I do hope everyone is well and keeping warm.  It has gone really cold here and we had snow on Monday night, most of the roads are clear but there is still snow on all the surrounding hills.

We have a new challenge today over on Fab’n’Funky where our lovely Neva has set the challenge of “Use Dies or Punches”.

I used an Happy Birthday die from Crafters Companion and cut out the HAPPY in pastel colours, the backing paper is by Catherine Pooler and I used a die by Lisa Horton for the flowers.

Hope to see you joining in our challenge and there are some lovely projects by the Design Team for inspiration on the challenge blog.

Have a good warm day!

Two Little Ducks

 Good Morning Peeps,

I do hope you have all had a good Easter break, we had some lovely time with the family over the past week.  On Tuesday we had a BBQ with our eldest son the weather was lovely and warm, Tuesday this week it was snowing also on Monday and it has been bitterly cold.

We have a new challenge for you today on Fab’n’Funky where our lovely Judith has chose EASTER for our theme.

My card is similar to the one I posted on Friday using papers from Digi Doodle Studio with an image from Whimsy Stamps coloured with Copics.

Hope to see you joining in with us this week with your Easter creations.

Thank You

Good Morning Peeps,

I do hope today is going to be a better one than yesterday when it was really foggy and damp all day.  Monday was very wet but we had a day out in York where the sun was shining in the afternoon and we had a lovely time wandering around the Christmas markets.

On now to our challenge at Fab'n'Funky, this week I am hosting and I thought for a change from Christmas we would have a challenge of:

Thank You Cards

Something we all tend to need a few of in the New Year.

I used a floral image coloured with Copics, papers are from my stash and I added some enamel dots, lace and a sentiment.

Would love to see you joining in with our challenge this week.
