In the garden

Hi lovely crafters,

Gosh it's nearly been a month since I last blogged.... I've been crafting but not felt like blogging. 

My hubby has been decorating the spare bedroom and the hallway so everything has been upside down. I've also been rearranging my crafty stash and it's took longer than I expected....grr... Why I started this job is beyond me. 

Anyway onto the card I've made this afternoon. I've used a clarity stamp stencil inks and stamps. Hope it's okay. I enjoyed getting all inky. It's a garden scene.

Challenges:

as you like it challenge - favourite-colour-combo-why. I love red and orange as they are such warm colours. It could be a beautiful sunset or Autumn when the leaves all change colour. Love it.

Thanks for being patient and popping by, I really appreciate your support.

I'll be back tomorrow with a DT card.

Happy Sunday...

Morning,

I'm popping on today to share with you a card I made for the Challenge Reminder post over at Indigo Blu. I was picked for one of their Top 3 with my poppy card. My lovely friend Sheila won which was great.

This month's challenge is:

'All things bright and beautiful'

so why not pop over and join in here.

Here's the card I made using my friend Sheila's Peony stamp and some of her sentiment stamps from Indigo blu.:

I made my first background by spritzing water onto some ink and placing a piece of card on top of it. Very messy but great fun. I heat embossed with silver embossing powder the Peony.

Time for Fairies or angels....

Good Morning,

It's the 1st of the month so

it's time for a new challenge over at Sparkles Forum Christmas.

It's the lovely Brenda's turn to choose the theme this month which is:

'Angels or Fairies'

I chose to do fairies and the stamp set I used was a freebie set from a Cardmaking and Papercrafting magazine. I searched high and low and found it thank goodness. The sentiment is from 'Clearly Besotted.' I used lots of glitter too, well you have to don't you...

Hope you're all well and had a nice bank holiday weekend. We had our first barbecue in 2 years which was lovely. We had my daughter Shannen and her boyfriend round for it and ate it outside which was lovely. The weather was gorgeous on Monday.

This week Shannen took me to Primark and Poundstretcher for a little look around which was nice. We finished off the morning with a McDonalds milkshake....yummy. I was so tired after being out but it was worth it.

Thanks for popping by.
