Less is more challenge....week 68



The challenge this week from Less is More is a theme and the theme being a baby or child card.
As I haven't been in my craft room at all this week as I have been busy sewing and of course the weather has been too nice to stay in.
I've used one of the 'For Ever Friends' stamp which doesn't appear to have a name on it...used my new embossing folder from Craft Too called Dotty Frame and all I've done is to emboss the centre of the folder twice more once  in pink and again in white then cut these two out and stamped my image on the white then popped a couple of pads under the other two layers... ribbon is from stash.


Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather...

Penny Black Challenge....week 202

Another great challenge from Penny Black Saturday challenge and this weeks challenge is RECYCLE....
I wasn't quick off the mark this morning I actually made this card the other week but as I had used recycled letters from a baby card my daughter had received a couple of years ago it was ideal for todays challenge.
The stamp is Cat on the Moon, coloured with copics and added a little bit of glitter on the moon then mounted it onto a Nestie die, the  Embossed square is from Craftwork Cards, Backing paper is from Stampin Up.
Have a great weekend whatever you do.

Less is More...week 67

One layer use 3 stamps is the challenge over at Less is more this week.
I have struggled to make this card as I have an eye infection and have a constant weepy and blurred eye but at least I've done the challenge!
My 3 stamps I have used are, the postage frame and the image are from Judikins the sentiment is from Stampendous.  Stamped the frame then sponged colour using fluid chalks before stamping the Zebra's from the African cube stamp.
Our Careers day went really well but there were certainly a lot more young careers there this year than last year. But the ladies and gentlemen who joined our crafting class all went home with a completed card and a box to keep a packet of tissues in.

Lazy Days is the name of this stamp which has been coloured with Copic pens.
Backing papers and card is all from Stampin Up.. Sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly. Whimsey Corner die and Memory Box branch also used, just added a couple of faux brads.
Today I am going to do some more sewing on my granddaughter quilt and tomorrow I will be at Dillington House, Somerset with my friend Janet doing a craft day for Careers, we have been invited to do this now for the last 3 years, its a lovely day and also gives careers a day to spend doing an activity of their choice the craft workshop is always a very popular one...
