Hi everyone,

I hope you're enjoying the weekend and have something fun planned.

Hubby and I are off to visit friends in the country this afternoon

 and it's turning out to be a great day for a drive.

There is no colouring on today's card...just lots and lots of die cuts 

using a favourite colour combo of mine...peach & cream.

I had a play with my new Tattered Lace Flourish Corner die...cutting one for each corner.

The bottom die is Double Delights which was free with The Tattered Lace Issue 02 magazine.

The insert on the top was cut using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty Four

Sentiment created in Word and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Leaves were cut using a StampinUp die.

Ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store

Shape cut using Martha Stewart Cherish Punch-Around-The-Page

Pink Birthday

Hi everyone,

I do hope you had a good weekend.  

Can't believe the spare time I have now that the Olympics are over. 

What fun it's been cheering on our athletes. Almost lost my voice during the hockey games.

Today I'd like to show you the card I made for my daughters birthday.

The shape is a Spellbinder Grand Scallop Square.  The pink layer was added using 3D dots. I then cut and embossed two SB Gold Elements One dies and joined them together before adding to the pink layer.   Recollections string pearls are self adhesive so they are great to work with.  The medallion from SB Gold Elements One was cut, embossed and added with 3D dots as well. All the paper is from Papertrey Ink as well as the matching ribbon for the bow.   I added pearls and a silver heart to the stick pin.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

In the Pink Challenge #38 - Pink Plus One

MIM #180

Quirky Crafts Challenge  Pile it High

Scribble and Scrap Challenge #12 - Anything Goes

Colour Inspiration at Love to Create Challenge - GDT

Hi everyone,

It's a very exciting day for me here.....awhile back I was asked to GD for the fabulous
 Love to Create Challenge and of course said yes :)  Today's the day I get to show you what I've made.   

Thank you so much for having me...it's an honour.

The awesome A Day for Daisies (ADFD) are the sponsor for this Challenge #71 and supplied us with our digi's.  I've used "Blessing the Spring Fairy" and she can be found here.  The theme is a colour inspiration.

This beauty was coloured with Copics. DP is Graphic 45 and the feather is from Bella Blvd. Spellbinders Grand Circles and Grand Decorative Circles One dies used.

The seam binding was dyed using SU Certainly Celery ink, misted with water.   Lace ribbon and flower are from WOC but the flower ribbon is a Tim Holtz.    DecoArt Glamour Dust used on her wings.

   Here is the box I made to hold the card.
   It measures 7x7 and is 1/2 inch deep.
   The doily square was cut using MS Punch-        Around-The-Page. I cut 2 MB Bella Bouquet dies, added a large white feather and rhinestone swirls to the top.  Another bow made from seambinding and WOC flowers as well as one from the $ Store.   I put ribbon from Michaels around the edge of the box.

Here are the challenges I  would like to enter:

Catered Crop - Dies & Punches

Challenges 4 Everybody #23 - Anything Goes

Sentimental Sundays Challenge #160 - For the Girls

Red Carpet Studio #42 - Going Digital

Bugaboo at Fab'n'Funky

Good morning all.  I hope your week is going well!

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to my new followers. I'm honoured that you've chosen to join me and I hope you find something that perhaps will inspire you in some small way.

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky

and we are sponsored by the wonderful

Bugaboo

and

StampArt by Kathryne

It's our fabulous, multi talented, super busy owner, Judith's turn to host this week and she has chosen

Cute and Cuddly as the theme.

We were fortunate enough to select a stamp of our choice from Bugaboo and I chose Ava Mermaid.  Two of our granddaughters are off to Florida this week for March Break and one will be celebrating her 10th birthday there so I thought she might like this card.  This is not the shape I had originally planned but I went back to my favourite 6x6 square card.   I used Alyce's tutorial that can be found here to help when it came to colouring Ava's tail!    Spellbinder ovals and Back to Basics Tags, MB Big Splash Border, along with CB Divine Swirl embossing folder were all used on this card.  The rosettes are from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  To colour the cheesecloth, I stamped TH Evergreen Bough Distressed Ink on my TH craft sheet, spritzed it with water to dilute and then added the cheesecloth....let dry and there you have it...perfectly coloured to match my SU Bermuda Bay cardstock.

I hope you have a chance to check out the challenge, see the wonderful creations my team mates have made and play along with us if you can.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
 Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
