Love

 Hi all,

I just wanted to pop on and share the card I made for my hubby for Valentines day. I'd seen an idea on pinterest and thought I'd have a go. Hubby doesn't like fussy cards, mind you what man does?

I used some of my cardio stamps once I'd embossed my stencil and inked it with my distress inks. The sentiment stamps were in my stash and the Love die.

Challenges:

cutie pie challenge-179-theme-hearts-flowers

crafters cafe blog challenge 294-cute

as you like it challenge-favourite-stencil-or-freestyle(this is 1 of my favourite stencils as the hearts are so effective and by embossing the stencil it makes them pop even more. Stencils are so adaptive and you can just use a part of them or the whole thing.)

we love stamping-february-challenge- anything stamped and add a stencil(optional)

sir stampalot challenge february-challenge-anything stamped (option of sketch)

Hope you're all well. It's been a mix of sunshine and showers here, glad I had my raincoat on for walkies today. It's lovely seeing all the spring flowers popping up too.

Take care

Thanks for popping to see me.

Hugs Debs xx

Non traditional colour Christmas

 Hello,

Well that's January over and it's 1st February now..... so the theme this month is: Non-traditional Colour chosen by the lovely Helen. 

So why not get prepared and join in with us over at Sparkles Christmas . 

For my card I used a 'Sheena' ivy stencil, distress inks, a word die and a freebie ivy stamp. Nice to make a different card shape for a change. Really enjoyed playing.

January has been a productive month here. I've made a few cards, 1 was a commission, have gone to see friends and a few friends have been to visit me and a lovely Sunday lunch at the local pub - very nice. Hope you've all had a good January.

Thanks for popping by.
