Christmas Hat

 Good Afternoon Peeps,

I have just been sat outside reading and thought I would take a break to enter the new Christmas Bingo Challenge, I made the card last weekend but haven't posted it yet, been too busy enjoying the sun this week.

For my card I used Column N on the bingo board (hand coloured image, die cuts and sequins).

 

My image is from Whimsy, I coloured with Copics, bp is by Spellbinders, circular die by Sue Wilson and snowflakes die by MFT.  I added some red sequins to the snowflakes and finished with  a stamped sentiment.

 

Challenges Entered:

 

Christmas Bingo Challenge - Bingo board (15-06)

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #679 - Christmas (08-06)

The Holly and the Ivy #140 - Anything Christmas (30-05)

 

Something Simple

 Good Morning Peeps,

What a lovely weekend it has been, lots of sunshine and warm days, looks like summer has arrived!

Now is the time to forget about summer and concentrate on Christmas as today is the start of a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties where for the next month our challenge is:

Anything Cute and Christmassy with the option of:

"Something Simple"

For my card I chose an MFT elf stamp and sentiment, I coloured with Copics added some glitter and a pen doodle around the edge.

We would love you to join in this month and look forward to seeing your creations.

Enjoy your day!

Special Birthday

Good Morning Peeps

Hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying some sunshine.  I seem to have had a busy couple of weeks, not had much time for crafting or blogging, but today I am the host of our new challenge at Fab'n'Funky and for the next two weeks I have chosen the challenge of:

Special Birthdays

I made my card for my daughter Lorna's 50th birthday last week.  We had a family party with 17 of us at our village Italian Restaurant and everyone had a good time especially the birthday girl.

My stamp is from AALL & Create, and I coloured with Copics.  The backing paper is by My Favourite Things, I cut the image out with a Sue Wilson die and put a die around it by Tonic.  The flowers are cut with a Lisa Horton die with Nuvo Drops in the centre and I added some small hearts.  The sentiment is computer generated cut with an MFT die and I added a small 50.

There are some beautiful cards to inspire you on the challenge blog and we would love to see you joining in with us.

Enjoy your day!

Dragonflies

 Good Morning Peeps,

It's time for another challenge at Fab'n'Funky where for the next two weeks our host is our lovely leader Chris with her choice of:

Things with Wings

 

 

I made two ATC's using one of the stamps from a set called Sweet Sunflowers by Creative expressions, I made the background using a stencil by Lavinia and Distress Oxides, coloured the Dragonflies with Copics and a glitter Spica pen (which doesn't show up very well on the photo) and the sentiment spring from a Jofy stamp set.

Please take a look at the lovely creations from the Design Team on the challenge blog.

Have a good day!

Happy Easter

 Good Morning Peeps,

 

Hope everyone is well and has had some of the lovely sunshine we have had over the past few days, really makes me feel like summer is at last on the way.  I may not be around for a while after the Easter weekend as I am having another eye operation for my glaucoma on Tuesday so won’t be able to use my computer, but hopefully won’t be away too long.

 

Well the Fab'n'Funky Challenge is on it's way today and being hosted by our lovely Sue who has challenged us to:

Use Die Cuts

I decided to make an Easter card using a Whimsy stamp, coloured with Copics, I used an old Marianne die for stem and leaves and a tiny flower die by Sue Wilson and added a centre in Nuvo drops.  The papers are by Whimsy and finished with a stamped sentiment.

Enjoy your day!
