Happy Mother's Day

Hi Crafters,

Just a quick post from me this morning to share a Mother's Day card and to wish all the mothers, grandmothers, mother-in-laws and fabulous ladies a lovely day.

Passion For Promarkers Challenge # 386 - Add lace, Ribbon, Twine

Hi Crafters,

Thank you for visiting today, my blog has been rather neglected and posts have been sparse of late but today I am here to share my DT card for Passion For Promarkers.

This week our challenge is to...

ADD LACE, RIBBON, TWINE.

I've managed to use lace and ribbon in my design but you can use just one if you like.

Please remember to use your Winsor Newton (Letraset) Markers to qualify for the prize and tell us where you have used them in your project.

I've coloured an image that I had in my collection from our sponsor, Di's Digi Stamps, with my markers and added a little glitter to the icing on the cake - this is pink in real life but the light from the camera is turning it lilac.

Butterfly

Hi Crafters,

I recently won a blog candy from Pauline, check out her blog, she makes some fabulous projects. It was a magazine with dies and stamps attached and I couldn't wait to get started.

Here are the post-it note holders that I made and a card.

The die cuts the outline and a filigree centre, it's very pretty and versatile. Then there's the matching stamp too and some useful sentiments.

I love this wavy sentiment stamp, I can see me using this one a lot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well this post is rather late in the day, I've been busy getting some orders finished, poor hubby hasn't seen me all evening :o/ Now I'm done in and ready for bed so I'll toddle off now and see you soon.

Christmas Card Club Challenge #5 - Off The Wall/Non Traditional

Hi Crafters,

It's a bright, Sunny morning here in Norfolk, a promise of what's to come.
An hour later
(well that was short lived....the promise of what was to come was...RAIN!)

Our Zoe has chosen a theme of 

OFF THE WALL/NON TRADITIONAL

This made me scratch my head a little but eventually I came up with a card that was somewhat quirky for Christmas.

Although it still has a Christmas tree the colours are not usual for Christmas. I bought this Britannia Christmas Tree die a long time ago with great expectations from it but each time I use it I find I don't like the result, but maybe that's just me.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Crafty Creations - #336 ATG

Brown Sugar - #240 ATG

Crafty Friends - #52 All That Glitters

CHNC Every Saturday - #323 ATG Christmas

CHNC Extra for March - ATG Christmas

Well I hope you enjoy your Sunday and that the weather is kind where you are.
