Hi, guys! Our new Challenge at CRAFT Challenge is Spring or Easter. This fab image is Flower Egg by Eureka Stamps. The background paper is from an old First Edition pad called 'Spring Fling' and I added green mirror peel-offs and also some NuvoJewel Drops both from Love From Lizi. The mat is made with an old Spellbinders Lattice die and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted. Our fab sponsor is Eureka Stamps. Go and see my teamies' gorgeous work and have a go! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x

Hi, guys! There's a new Challenge at Dream Valley and it's Spring Colours. Spring is just around the corner - the clocks go forward in the UK this coming weekend on Palm Sunday! The adorable image is Will Work For Carrots by Paper Nest Dolls. The background paper is from an old First Edition set and is gorgeous - the images are all matt and the background has glitter all over it! The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp, it came in a kit. I added 3 dots of Nuvo Drops under the image, but because of the glitter background the card didn't need anything else. Our sponsor is : Paper Nest Dolls. My teamies have left some gorgeous inspiration for you, so ignore the snow and the bitter wind, get out your Spring Colours and join the fun! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x

Good morning! Whan you read this I will be busy helping out with the annual Church Spring Clean! It's a lot of fun, loads of laughter and also CAKE to keep us going! In the meantime I've scheduled today's post for our new Challenge at My Time to Craft where our theme is Easter or Spring . In keeping with my New Year's Revolution to USE my kits I have found an image printed on TH watercolour cardstock from Simon Says Stamp's March 2016 kit. I used Distress Inks to colour the image, then cut round the top edge and layered it on foam pads on a piece of distressed blue paper from stash. The sentiment is also from an SSS kit, and the speech bubble is from an old Paper Smooches set. I added sparkle to the Easter eggs and Glossy accents to the chick's bill and heart. My watercolouring is slo-o-o-wly improving but still not as good as I'd like. Practice makes perfect!! Go and see my teamis' lovely creations, and join in the Challenge - SPRING IS ...
