Fussy & Fancy Guest Designer

Hi Crafters,

I was recently offered a Guest Designer spot at Fussy & Fancy Friday Challenge which I was delighted to accept.

Their theme for this fortnight is ....ANYTHING GOES

Happy May Day!

Hi Crafters,

I hope you are enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend if you live in the UK, the weather has been a mixed bunch but that's normal for Bank Holidays you just have to make the best of it. I've been out and about and now I'm busy creating in my craft room.

With all the gorgeous flowers and blossoms now showing their pretty faces I thought I'd share a fussy and fancy floral card with you today, - well two in fact.

These are both using a vintage image from the internet.

As You Like It Challenge #76 Favourite Line on a Bingo Board and WHY

Hi Crafters,

I'm gradually getting back to feeling normal although I get tired very quickly so I apologise if I haven't visited you yet, I'm having to limit my computer time.

I'm here today for the new challenge at As You Like It which is a fun Bingo Board this time.

We'd like to see your creations using your favourite line on the board and WHY you have chosen it.

I loved all the board but finally settled for the top, horizontal line
FUSSY & FANCY - GEMS - RIBBON
I like lots of layers and details on my cards and thought this one fit the bill perfectly.
