Pixie's Snippets Playground challenge week 121....

A couple of weeks ago Diane from Pixie's Crafty workshop asked me if I would like to join in the Snippets Playground challenge after reading that I have a box full of snippets...this week I've actually managed to make a card for the challenge...

The 'Thank you' was a die cut that came with a craft  order some time ago, the corners are made from the centre square from the Mexican die which I cut into quarters, backing paper an odd bit in my scrap box and the flowers were felt over from a SU project what I did..I know my card isn't quite straight but not sure I like the slanted look of the die either...anyway at least I've made a card...

Hope you all enjoyed the Easter weekend, a mixture of weather down here in deepest Somerset, but today the sun is out but its chilly...

Happy Easter....

No card today as we still have the grandchildren staying but I've posted a picture of some delicious cupcakes that my daughter has made for Easter, just love the little rabbit going down into his rabbit hole....Sally has her own little cake business which she only  started in November but it's really taken off...everything you see is edible as it's all sugar paste the trouble is you just want to look at them they look too good to eat.

Hope you all have a lovely Easter...

Male card....

I have scheduled this post as we are changing our inter provider tomorrow and not sure whether we will have the internet as we have been away for a few days .....so fingers crossed everything will go smoothly...

Just love these images from the LOTV art pads...just added a little more colour to the image, hinge die is and old one from Quickutz....backing paper from Stampin Up....

Happy Birthday Rubie....

Today is our eldest granddaughters birthday she is 8 years old.
Rubie loves pink so naturally her card had to be pink..

The image is a pre-coloured Elizabeth Bell one from a sheet called  'Summer time'...   and I've just added some Crystal lacquer on her headband, flowers  and bow...

I was lucky enough to pick up the Cheery Lynne 'Dutch Doily Frame' half price at the last craft show I was at, backing papers are from Craft Creations..

Little bit of recycling.....

Just had to re-cycle this gorgeous vintage image...I used Spellbinders dies to cut it out and mounted it onto some patterned black and white backing paper which I've had in my stash for a long time....the corner dies are from Cuttlebug...

Have a great weekend whatever you are doing...

Simple Spring card....

A quick Spring card using one of the LOTV Art Pad flower images thought it would make a lovely get well card as well, kept it really simple just added a little butterfly and  some ribbon and mounted it onto Spellbinders Grand Labels 23 die....

It  has been quite a warm day here in Somerset despite the odd little shower but its so nice to see all the Spring flowers in the garden....

Woodlands scene....

I've been playing around with dies again and time with the Taylored Expressions Silver Birch tree dies. 
 After trying  different backgrounds I decided to keep it black so made a moon to make it look like night... The deer dies are from Impression Obsession, other dies used Martha Stewart grass and the leaves are from part of a Memory Box die. small bird also Memory Box

Its Brian's birthday today so Happy Birthday Brian and have a lovely day...

Tomorrow I'm off to Westpoint to the Cake show with my daughter so looking forward to that...
