Hugs

Good Afternoon,

I hope everyone as has a good weekend with some of the lovely sunshine we have today.  I haven’t felt like crafting much recently or blogging, but I saw the challenge and design team cards on Sweet Stampin’ Challenge blog and decided to make a simple card and enter the challenge.

The image and sentiment are from an old set of Penny Black stamps,  I coloured the image with Copics, cut the square with my Sue Wilson stitched square dies and backed it onto some pink card.

 

Have a good day!

 Good Morning Peeps,

It’s Wednesday and time for our new challenge at Fab’n’Funky where our lovely teamie  Pat K is hosting with her choice of theme:

DIES OR STENCILS

For my card I used a lovely Whimsy die, the background is Hunkydory card and the sentiment a Sue Wilson die.

Hope to see you joining in with our challenge this week.

Enjoy your day!

Sleigh Bells Ring

 Good Morning Peeps,

I hope you have all had a good weekend, we have had everything weather wise this weekend, Friday the wind, Saturday snow and Sunday torrential rain and wind.  We have had so much wet weather this week I think we all need web feet, let’s hope this week gets better.  Also I think I have hopefully avoided the virus as it’s 11 days since my contact with my DIL and I have no symptoms. 

Talking of snow we have a new challenge starting today on “Christmas With the Cuties”, it’s our first challenge of the year after the Christmas break and our monthly challenges are now “Just for Fun” challenges.  Our theme for this challenge is:

“SLEIGH BELLS RING”

(We want to see a sleigh on your image)

 For my card I used an image by Sunny Studio, coloured with Copics and I paper pieced the sleigh,  paper is by Catherine Pooler and I added a sentiment stamp by Whimsy and some glitter.

Hope to see you joining in with us this month.

Have a good day!

A Wise Owl

 Good Morning Peeps,

Hope you are all well, I’m playing a waiting game at the moment, youngest son and DIL have both tested positive at the weekend and I was with my DIL most of the day on Friday so……….. waiting with fingers crossed.

Anyway we have a new challenge for you today on Fab’n’Funky where our lovely Ginny is hosting with her choice of:

BIRTHDAY 

I made this card for our granddaughter Heidi for her birthday in January.  The image is by Stampart, 

papers are by Artemio and from my stash, flowers are made with dies by Lisa Horton and I added pearls and a sentiment.

Hope to see you joining in with our challenge this week

Enjoy your day!

Pearls and Lace

Good Morning Peeps,

I can’t believe we are into February already, this last month seems to have flown by with not much done to show for it, I was going to do so much when Christmas was over and still haven’t gone round to most of it.  

We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab’n’Funky where for this challenge I am the host with my choice of:

Pearls and Lace

I have made my card for my daughter in law’s grandmother who will be 104 in a couple of weeks.

The image is one of the new LOTV, I coloured with Copics, the bp is by Honey Bee  and I added pearls, lace and a bow.

I do hope you will be able to join in with our challenge for this fortnight.

Enjoy your day!

Fancy Handbags

 Good Morning Peeps,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well and enjoying some sunshine which for a change we have had for the last four days, though not today yet.  It's been very quiet here since Christmas and we haven't been out much except for a bit of shopping.

We have a new challenge starting today over on Fab'n'Funky where our lovely Neva is the host with her challenge of:

Two or More Patterned Papers

For my card I used an image from an old LOTV art pad, the papers were also LOTV and I added a flower cut with a My  Favourite Things die and a sentiment.

Hope to see you joining in with our challenge.

Have a good day!

Thank You

 Good Morning Peeps,

Happy New Year, I do hope you had a good one and a lovely Christmas, we’ve had a mixed bag here having to cancel family meetings as granddaughter Abbie tested Positive for covid on Christmas Day, daughter-in-law Mary got Shingles on Wednesday and son Tim tested positive on 2nd January.   My knee has been so bad I have been on crutches for two weeks roll on Spring……..

Well at least I could still do some crafting for our new challenge over on Fab’n’Funky which our lovely Chris is hosting with her challenge of:

Keep it Simple

(nice easy one to start the year off)

I decided to make a simple Thank You card using a sentiment courtesy of Hannilie (Desert Diva) and a very old flower stamp from a See D set and I added three small gems.

There are some lovely projects from the design team over on the challenge blog to give you inspiration.

Have a good day!
