Wee Daphne

Hi,

I enjoyed the warm sun this week but it has turned rather chilly again this weekend so I retreated indoors and did some colouring. I used a Wee design called Daphne as she is so spring like with the daffodil in her hand. This is my DT card over at the Scribble and Scrap Challenge #42 which starts today. Lexie is offering some great prizes for the winners so please join in.

I will be entering the card in the following challenge

Happy Easter Sunday

Hi
I hope the Easter Bunny has been kind to you all, and that if you celebrate Easter I hope you had joyous uplifting services.

I'm blogging another Easter card, but promise it is the last for 12 months. I used a stamp for the chick and egg but decoupaged it from the reverse so the stamped lines don't show. I coloured the chick using pro-makers and trimmed the kraft card with some fancy edge scissors I've not used for a long time. The background card is embossed using an X cut embossing folder - I think, as it's not labelled.

Don't forget there is still time to enter the Scribble and Scrap challenge which closes next Saturday. The theme is anything goes so come along and join in.

A little bit of Easter

Hi
I've been raiding my magazine freebies again and found these beautiful Nitwit papers and a stamp that seemed appropriate for an Easter greeting. I'm not sure whose design the stamp is though. I coloured it with promarkers and used one of my Spellbinder dies to cut it out. I edged the flower panel with a peel-off which have become less popular of late but I think they still have their place in my crafty stash.

I hope the Easter Bunny comes to visit you, and that you have a lovely Easter.

I mustn't forget to remind you that a new challenge is starting over at Scribble and Scrap. It's number 41!! Can you believe it? Only seems a short time since Lexie started running it. As always the theme is anything goes so please come along and join in.

Funky Fox

What a beautiful day here today. Bright sunshine and a feeling of spring at last! Hope it is similar with you. After walking the dog and doing a bit of gardening I managed to fit a bit of crafting in. This card was inspired by the Funky Fox free papers that came with Making Cards Magazine in January. I spotted the stamp, that seems to match rather, well in The Range and at £1 I couldn't resist picking it up. I coloured the image and the greeting with pro markers, and mounted it on black card and used a kraft card as a base for the full layout.

There is also still time to enter the Scribble and Scrap challenge which closes next weekend. Please come and join in. It's anything goes!!

Happy Mothers Day

Hi
I hope all the mums are enjoying their day and being spoilt rotten. Sadly I have no children or mum so the day rather passes me by, and I have no-one to give that special card to. So instead I've made one for a friend.
As you know I'm on the design team for Scribble and Scrap Blog Challenge and now that Lexie doesn't have a shop I have free rein on which products to use just like you as the challenge is anything goes!! Please join in.

This silhouette stamped image is embellished with gilding flakes although they don't show up to well on the picture. I also edged the sentiment with flakes.

Experimenting

Hi,
Hope you have seen some sunshine over the last couple of days, and that bitter wind has quietened down. Surely spring is nearly here!

This week I decided to get out a pack of Ali Reeve's patchwork stencils and see what I could produce with them. I popped the stencil onto a 6x6 card and ran it through my Happycut embossing machine. Then leaving the stencil in place I coloured the background with pigment inks, and then over stamped using silhouette stamps. I think the result is quite effective. I'm now thinking about taking it further and perhaps over stamping with silver embossing powder. Will think on that for now, LOL

Challenge #39 at Scribble and Scrap

 

 Hi, It's a lovely sunny day but very windy. Blew the cobwebs away dog walking this morning and now back to craft.

You may have heard that Lexie is closing the  Scribble and Scrap Shop  as she is now just too busy with a new job and also home educating her son to keep it going.This means that they have a sale running until Tuesday when the shop will close.

If you would like to grab a bargain, head to the shop before they run out (stocks are seriously limited now) and enter the code BigSale33 at checkout.  Don't forget to do that, as the discount can not be added once the sale is complete.

But panic ye not!  The Scribble and Scrap Challenge will be carrying on!  Nothing at all is going to change on that front, so carry on crafting! Challenge #39  Anything Goes is just starting so come and join the fun and there will still be two winners, each receiving the following fabulous  prize. A Joanna Sheen Cardmaking Pad

They are also doing a DT Call so don't miss out! The information is on the challenge blog.

 

My DT card this week is made using Craftwork Cards foiled papers and toppers. The Craftwork products really do the hard work for you!:-
