Fab'n'Funky Challenge #236

Hi everyone,

I hope your week is going well.

We had a few snow flurries on the weekend... way too early for that white stuff but temps have warmed up a bit so we are back to fall.  It's taken me a while to get back in the swing of things after the wedding.  We had our granddaughter stay with us for a week, along with 2 dogs and a bird so our house was full of life and is now so quiet.  

   Today starts a new challenge at 

Fab'n'Funky 

where the theme is "3 Embellishments"

I've used a cute image generously supplied to us by our lovely sponsor this week  

Little Miss Muffet Stamps. 

 She is called Claudia Loves Christmas  and can be found here. 

My 3 embellishments are Ribbon, Rhinestones and Die Cuts.

I'm lovin the new MB Christmas dies, especially the Pine Needle used on the top, cut in red & cream. I also layered the new Plush Poinsettia Corner die on top. The Pine Branch is a Marianne die #LR0181.    Ribbon is Offray from Michaels

Another favourite is the Recollections Rhinestone Sheet, also from Michaels.

Image coloured with Copics.

DP and tag are Simple Stories Cozy Christmas

Inside decorated with tag from Simple Stories as well.

I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.  

There is a great prize from our wonderful sponsor for the winner.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Creative Card Crew #74 - Christmas Joy

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Bingo (ribbon, rhinestones, die cuts)

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Sentimental Sundays #231 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of the week.

Belli Challenge #166 - Easter

Good morning all and welcome to my blog.

It's Wednesday and that means another challenge at the

Belli Challenge

This week the theme is Easter....great time to enter those last-minute Easter cards.

I've used a cute image by the very talented Krista Smith of Saturated Canary called

 Lily, Bo and Peep 

 All the papers for this easel card are from my stash and most of the dies only come out at Easter.

This is my first attempt at creating a cloud sky using my Copics.  I was inspired by watching Alyce's fabulous video that you can find here.   I still have a long way to go but enjoyed giving it a try. I punched the bunnies, ran them thru my Xyron and then added glitter for a little bling.

Easter presents

Good day and welcome to another blog post.

I hope you all had a good weekend. It was very cold here but with the bright sunshine the snow has almost disappeared. I even saw a pair of robins this morning, a sure sign of spring.

Today I have an Easter card using the very cute Suzi from Wee Stamps.  She was a treat to colour and I just love that adorable face!  I would like to think she has a very large box of Easter chocolates in her hand :)
