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!

 Good Morning Peeps,

A Tulip for You

 Good Morning Peeps,

Hope you are all having a good week and looking forward to the Easter break.  We have a new challenge starting today on Fab’n’Funky where our lovely Chris has chosen the theme of:

Feature a Creature

(Must be the main focal point)

I have made this card for my granddaughter Emma for her birthday next month when she will be seventeen, she loves all things mice (pictures, trinkets, cuddly toys, everything apart from the real thing then it would be screams and running away) but I think she will like this card.

The stamp and sentiment are by Trudie Howard from Sentimentally Yours, the grid die is also from Sentimentally Yours.  I coloured the image with Copics, flowers are My Favourite Things dies and the paper is from an old Lili of the Valley pad and I distressed the edges.

Our challenge runs for the next two weeks and we would love to see you joining in with us.

Enjoy your day and have a good Easter.

Have a good day.
