The Cupboard Trilogy Challenge #11 - Spring Flowers

And my final blog post for today is the new challenge on The Cupboard Trilogy which is Spring Flowers.  I have used photos taken this year of some of the beautiful flowers in my garden for my LO and had a great time die cutting and punching out flowers and leaves to embellish it!

Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #53 - Furry Friends

My second post today is for the new challenge on Ruby's Rainbow Challenges which is Furry Friends. For my DT work I have made a LO using photos of my guinea pig boys - the photos seemed to print out a little faded so I used a pale background to match.  I had a Sizzix die of flowers that exactly matched the bp (DCWV) so used that for the first time, I've only had it for about 6 years!

Sparkles Christmas Challenge #26 - 3 - 2 - 1

The new theme on Sparkles Christmas Challenges is to use 3 flowers, 2 gems and 1 image.  For my DT work I wanted to make a LO using a photo I took of my granddaughter at Christmas.  I cut 3 flowers on my Cricut and layered them up, then used 2 gems and my 1 image is the photo.

We are sponsored this month by Lili of the Valley, with a fab prize of a £10 voucher so go on over and take part for a chance of winning!

W for Winter White

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog for the next 3 weeks, is W for Winter White.  I chose this theme this time as I thought it would be nice to see some all white work!  I cut the large snowflake on my Cricut.  It's hard to get decent photos these days with the bad light!

MTTC Challenge #171 - Your Favourite Embellishment

The new theme on My Time To Craft for the next fortnight is to use our Favourite Embellishment.  I found this a difficult thing to do for my DT work as I don't just have one favourite!  I used a Penny Black Stickeroo for my card, and decided to punch some flowers which I love to put on but there wasn't room for many!  So then I decided to add some swirls, which I also love - and then decided that they all needed some adhesive gems to finish them off, which again I love!  So for this challenge I am saying the gems are my favourite! 
I am also entering this for 
Charisma Cardz Challenge - Happy Birthday

CYDA Challenge #31 - Halloween Colours

The new theme on Craft Your Days Away for the next 2 weeks is Halloween Colours, and this challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp  - you could win a $10 spend in their store, so pop over and take a look!

For my DT work I made a LO using all the colours.   I used a Sizzix die for the pumpkin which I have had for years and finally got round to using!

Cute Snowman

I made this card for the Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge blog's 2nd challenge, which is to use a Santa or Snowman, something sparkly, ribbon and a Christmas flower (including holly etc). I used my new Lindsay Mason snowman stamp kindly bought for me by She, and I coloured him with Copics. I used DCWV paper and glittery card for the holly cut with a Sizzix die. I sparkled the snowman's hat and scarf and added a little silver ribbon, I think I got it all!

Just Paper

The theme on CSF's monthly ATC challenge is to use Just Paper! I found this very difficult as I wanted to reach for my stamps and inks etc. but I had been meaning to try out this owl Sizzix die I bought a while ago, so it was a good opportunity! I will probably use him as a topper for a card next!
