Broken Box Stock

 Everyday Toodle Digi Set

Now I know its my age, but I love pink and purple and of course I just had to do some fussy cutting !!

 This fab Broken Box Stock image is called "Toodle-Poodle", which I coloured in using promarkers and fussy cut out to decoupage.  The papers are by Wild Rose Studio and have also cut out some of the flowers from the backing paper to decoupage as well !!  I've added some paper lace and then some ribbon to finish off. The sentiment is from a set by Woodware.

SPARKLE/SHINE

The fab prize up for grabs is:

Pity I'm not allowed to enter myself !!

For my bit of sparkle and shine I just had to used " Flora " (digi stamp)

She is so cute with her big manga style eyes !! 

For my easel card I have used paper from Craftwork Cards and fussy cut a lot of the flowers out. The shiny leaves were cut using a spellbinders die. Flora was coloured using promarkers and stickles was used to add sparkle to her wings and background. Popped one of the new Crafty Sentiments in the middle of the big flower stopper to finish off.

I had fun this week playing with " Friends For Ever "

I decided to make a paw print easel card by cutting out the paw shapes on my cricut and then making a hinge at the back to join them together, not an easy shape to do this with, but hay ho I do love a challenge  !!

Printed my image several times so I could cut the dog, cat and duck's head out to then colour and raise up at on the bottom paw .  From The Heart, Happy Birthday was also cut on my cricut. This happy bunch were all coloured in using promarkers.

Just one fun, happy and very differnt card which I must admit,  I just love it !!

My mission !!

We are all very bad at this.........sending thank you cards !!

So my mission this year is to get more peeps sending a thank you for whatever !!

I had a crafty play day with a friend over the christmas hols and made these four cute 4" cards just using scraps and a couple of new sizzix dies. Most of you know I LOVE playing with little bits of paper and this is why......

 

A little box of these type of cards would make a smashing gift for a friend or family member

Check it out !!

New

I wish one and all a very

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

It's a strange thing, but our challenge at 

 

is

 

" NEW "

New year, new stash, new home...

I decided to make a New Home card using " Bird House "

I really love doing lots of mat and layering of cordinating papers and I have used four papers from a paper pack by Basic Grey called " Konnichiwa ".

The lovely Bird House digi image has been printed several times so I could decoupage the roof , roses, bird, worm and cute little bee.  All coloured in with promarkers and a bit of stickles added to the roses.  Used a spellbinders die to cut banner and a Marianne die to cut swirls.  Made a few rolled roses,  seeing I haven't made them for a while !!

What a bright and cheerful way to welcome someone to their new home !!

The team have many more inspiring " New "projects to show you, so pop over to the
