Penny Black Challenge Week 171

 

This weeks Penny Black challenge is called 'Down on the Farm so I have used this stamp called  'To you'.  Coloured with copic pens and I have 'spot lighted' the cows head. Backing papers are from Basic Grey 'Lauderale' pad.  Corner are punched from a Corner Adorner punch.

Sorry for not blogging much last week but it was a bit hectic doing samples for a workshop on Saturday and then at the end of the week my eldest daughter broke a bone in her foot  so I've been helping out as she has a 13month old who's not walking yet and a 3 year old so its impossible to lift a baby while on crutches! Dont think I will get much time this week to blog but will do my best. Also sorry if I missed leaving a comment on your blog.

Less is More - Week 34

 

LIM challenge  is a card plan this week with the image on the top left hand side and sentiment on the right hand corner.

I needed to make a 'thank you' card so thought card would be fit this weeks challenge.

Image stamped from S.U. 'Just Believe' set and rather than put a sentiment across the stamped image I've placed some tiny punched out flowers with pearl centres.  Sentiment is computer generated.

My craft room is in great need of a tidy up so thats my job for this morning....where's that 'tidy up' fairy when you need her??

Promise not to laugh - My efforts....

 

 We have a really fun morning yesterday in our FIMO workshop the lovely Sarah from Character Creations came and tried to teach 10 of us how to make these little characters and also a loaf of bread, I managed also to make a cottage loaf with left over clay.

Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera so all I have to show you is mine.  Well they aren't exactly wonderful but at least I have had a go and we all had a lots of laughs along the way.  My Christmas fell apart as it was going in the oven but I thought I would still show you.  My cat looks as thought he has an absess as his whiskers are too big and his head lobsided, my bears head and paws are also  too big but the gingerbread man and snowman I am quite happy with.... We shall be doing another workshop next year and next time will take my camera...

Sarah's work is amazing please pop to her website and have a look, she has made a wedding cake topper for one of my daughters and also two Christening cake toppers, on the wedding topper she copied my daughters wedding dress and her husbands waistcoat they even looked like them and the same with the christening toppers....Sarah is such a clever lady...

Thanks for looking....

A Rose is a Rose

 

So late in posting today and no post yesterday.....Well I do have an excuse for yesterday as I went to the craft show at Westpoint, Exeter with friends, we had a brilliant day but we all spend too much money but we all came home happy 'bunnies'

This card has been sat on my desk for almost a week so thought I had better post it, the rose is from S.U. A Rose is a Rose stamp set, backing papers, embossing folders and ribbon are also S.U.  Mounted the rose onto a Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder then onto a Marianne die.

I wont be posting tomorrow as I am going to a FIMO workshop with some of the girls from our craft club...
