In The Garden for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times challenge is In The Garden Chosen  by one of our newer DT Zoe.
Unfortunately, Zoe has some family problems  so I am standing in for her n the challenge blog.

I thought this Faye Whittaker decoupage was just perfect for this theme.

I expect we will see lots of flowers for this challenge so right up my street !!!!

Although I haven't added any onto mine!!!!

Fresh Spring Colours for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is hosted by Brenda, our team leader.

She would like to see Fresh Spring colours, yellows, greens, even pinks.

I used this small piece of a Hunkydory set that was in my scrappy box, the flower on it was too pretty to throw out so here it is.

I tried to match the colours with yellow card, which I embossed.

All matted onto spring green card.
The butterflies and tiny flower are cut from ribbon.

I decorated the cover with Decoupage paper.

This is such pretty paper.

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge

this fortnight is hosted by Jan S and she would like to see Purples on your creations.

I decided to make my sisters Birthday card.

I really will have to get some more Sue Wilson Dies!!!!, I always seem to use this 'Hollywood' from the California Collection.

I turned the centre horizontal so that I could stamp the sentiment on it.

All the bits on this are from my stash.

The borders are die cut using Spellbinders Edgeabilities.

Pop over to the challenge blog and take a peek at all the other wonderful DT creations.

Fur or Feathers for Craft Rocket

Good Morning All

Craft Rocket Challenge this time is Fur and / or Feathers.

As I make lots of cards for an Animal charity I decided to go with fur and used this cute picture of a puppy.

I used all shades of blue for mats, the ends off the tag on the S/B Ornate Squares die set and the paper is from a Docrafts set.

I,m sure this will be a busy challenge.
******
Talking of puppies, my friend has got a black labrador pup in January and we were lucky enough to baby sit the other week.
She is so good, doesn,t bark, not boisterous, just sleeps.
