Good Evening,

I must confess I am late posting this, the reason being, I worked my first full week this week after returning to work. I came home this evening, laid on the bed and fell asleep.

Now I'm awake I would like to share my DT card for the new challenge starting over at

Friday Sketch Challenge

This weeks sketch is mine, I hope you like!

and here's my card

I have used a fabby image called shabby-chic-birdhouse from this week's sponsor


more images can be found here
Hop on over to the main challenge blog to see what prize is on offer.

I printed off some papers from Raspberry Road which I distressed (must say I'm loving my new tool) and inked then added a little frantage.

Hope you will join in the challenge, want to see what you do with my sketch.

Have a great evening and lovely weekend.

Let's Celebrate Kindness

Good Morning everyone,

This week Hazel the Boss over at Moving Along With The Times would like you to Celebrate Kindness, as today is World Kindness Day.

So we would like to see your cards Celebrating Kindness in whatever way you want.
I thought I would make a card to send hugs to someone who needs them.

MAWTT has gone Vintage

Good Morning everyone,

I'm here with something a little different today.

The theme this fortnight over at Moving Along With The Times is:

"Vintage"

Not my usual style, but hey it's a challenge!

I decided to make a wall hanging, something I've wanted to do for a while but never got round to.

The papers are from Raspberry Road called Timeless Victorian. I printed the sentiment onto the teal paper  and cut the 'Laugh' out on the silhouette in the same font. All layers have had distress ink applied and torn in places to give them an aged look. I then used some homemade texture paste through a stencil for a bit of interest. The flower was made using a scalloped circle die which I inked, wet and layered up with a brad to hold them together. Each layer was them scrunched up till I got the look I wanted. When dry the paper stiffens to give a nice firm finished piece.. Pleated vintage ribbon was also added between the layers for a bit of extra texture.

Why not go see what my teamies have created here

Have a great day!

Friday Sketch Challenge #73

Good Morning,

I am here today to tell you there is a new challenge starting over at Friday Sketch Challenge.
This is the sketch for us to play with this fortnight

Sponsoring the challenge is FaeryInk who gave the DT some images to work with.

I have used Bee-YOU-tiful Pixie Fae Big Eyed Honeybee Girl  to make my card. 

Isn't she adorable.

I have teamed her up with Honey Bee papers from Raspberry Road, I thought they were just right for the image. The image was coloured with markers, chalks & glamour dust after being printed & cut using the silhouette. All mats, layers and the butterflies were cut on the silhouette. The butterflies were coloured with markers, glittered and viva pearls were added to the body.

Have a great weekend everyone.
