Fur &/or Feathers at Allsorts - Challenge #772

 Hi Crafters,

We have a new challenge starting at Allsorts today and the theme is...

FUR & OR FEATHERS


I've used this cute little bunny die cut from Tattered Lace called...you'll never guess...Bunny in a Mug!
It's been in my stash a while and this is only it's second outing. I added an embossed background using a Crafters Companion EF and then a Spellbinders Label die for the sentiment.

We have prizes from Craftstash and AALL and Create


So to be in with a chance of winning one of these wonderful prizes just create a new project, link your blog post to our challenge, follow the theme or you can opt for the Anything Goes option too. Have fun and I look forward to visiting your blogs to see what you have created.

Use Yellow at Allsorts - Challenge #771

 Hi Crafters,

This bright and sunny card was made for my Design Team inspiration for this weeks challenge at Allsorts. Lynn is our hostess and she would like to see your creations using YELLOW. 

These papers were a magazine freebie from a long time ago (we Crafters tend to hoard, I mean cherish ALL our papers) As you can see I did a little bit of fussy cutting around the pretty florals on the smaller patterned paper and layered my design around the sentiment.



Prizes from Craftstash and AALL and Create

If yellow is not your colour we also have the Anything Goes option so that you can still enter with a new project and please remember to link your post to our challenge blog to be eligible to win the prize.

Have fun, you have until 12pm next Friday to enter.

Colours of Spring at Passion For Markers Challenge #729

 Hi Crafters,

It is lovely to see the signs of Spring in the garden so this week at Passion For Markers we would love to see your creations with the theme of....

COLOURS OF SPRING


I have used this lovely image from our sponsor Polkadoodles this week, called 'Butterfly Flowerpot'. Coloured with Copics and mounted on to a scrap of Craft Creations Butterfly & Bluebells Paper using a stitched square die and frame. The stamped sentiment is from Sentimentally Yours. A simple and flat design perfect for posting nowadays. With the postage prices set to increase yet again, I will be making more and more cards in this flat format to keep the costs down I think.

Our sponsor this week is Polkadoodles who are offering 3 digital Images to the lucky winner.

For a chance to win this fabulous prize please create a new project using your Markers, following the theme and link your post to our challenge blog. If you need some inspiration to get started just check out the rest of the Design Team's creations HERE. 

Have a fab week!
