New Challenge at Create and Inspire

Today another challenge starts at Create and Inspire

Our challenge is always "anything goes"

This fortnight's fabulous sponsor is

A Day For Daisies

I have used Stick Horse Ride coloured with blendable pencil crayons.
I have fussy cut this and placed it on a white card base matted
 with a paper from LC Designs.

I added a strip of  yellow spotty ribbon down the apper before adding the image.
I then added butterfly stickers from my stash...

Do go over to Create and Inspire 

and see the winners from last time and the other fabulous DT makes.
I look forward to seeing your creations in the Challenge!

Happy Crafting!

April Head to Head in the Dragons Lair

In the Dragons Lair Facebook Group 

the April Head to Head Challenge is to use the Zoodles Doodles Mini Kit

So sweet!!

I decided to use elements from this on a twisted easel card.
Both easel and base were matted and layered with brown card then papers from the mini kit.

I fussy cut the puppy dog to go on top and added a stand on dimensionals - just an oval of brown card with a sentiment from my stash.
An excellent male or female Birthday card!

Do go over to the Dragons Lair facebook page to see what's going on...
and check out the designs in the Dragons lair store...

I will link this to the Sunday Showcase

Happy Crafting!

April 4th - Happy Birthday to me...

I didn't craft on my Birthday -

 I was having too much of a good time with my family in Australia!

I was delighted when I got home though to find a lovely lot of Birthday cards...

 ...especially all these hand-made ones!!

And then my Mum made me another Birthday cake - orange - just like my Grandma used to make for me!

Happy Birthday!

First of all I looked in my stash for suitable papers - and I came across all these...

I decided to make a collage type three-layered stepper card,
 by layering these various papers:

Here are more pictures showing the various layers:
This is the back row - it features a green negative of a floral die cut:

Next one side then the other...I added some flowers from my stash.
