Story Sentiment - Aud Sentiments

Hi everyone, there's a new challenge at Aud Sentiments. 

 This time our theme is 'Story Book' and we'd like to see a sentiment which ties in with a story. Here is our fab sponsor for this challenge...

I've used one of their gorgeous images, called Dorothy Honey, to make my card...

I coloured using copics and paper pieced the scenery. The cloud is die cut. 

I hope you'll pop over to Aud Sentiments and check out the inspiration from my talented team mates.

Colourful House Mouse

Hi everyone, I'm here to share a card which I've made especially so I can join in with the fabulous House Mouse Challenge and blog hop. I've gone for the colourful option, using orange, purple, lime green and black...

Well you can't say it's not colourful, lol. I've coloured using copics. The border punch is a Martha Stewart one and I've added ribbons (in all of the above colours) from my stash. I've finished off with a bow, some paper roses and some orange brads. The image panel is raised on foam pads.

Use a doily for Ruby's Rainbow

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Ruby's Rainbow and this time it's my turn to choose the challenge theme. I chose this one with my best mate Sue in mind.....

Use a doily

Here's my card...

I've used a Humphrey's Corner decoupage which came free with a recent magazine.  The green backing paper was also part of the freebie and the red piece is from my Boofle Christmas papers. I added a gold die cut tree (Joy crafts die), some candi, a sentiment and a bow to match the red paper to finish off. I hope you like it. Now pop over to Ruby's Rainbow and have a look at the gorgeous inspiration from my team mates. I look forward to seeing your creations.

WOYWW 177

Hi everyone, I'm back to share my desk with you all at WOYWW. 

Here's what's going on in my craft room at the moment...

 I'm working on a card to enter into the House Mouse challenge this week, hence the orange, lime, purple and black stuff everywhere.

 I've also got a pile of images, both digi and stamped which I'm going to trim or die cut so I can tidy them up a bit. And here's one of the most important things in my room this morning...

 Banana with banana and custard yoghurt, a cuppa tea and the gorgeous new Berry Bakewell Hifi bar. I'm gonna go and see what everyone else is up to now....see you soon.

A recipe - Craft Punked

Hi everyone, here's a card I've made as a guest designer for Craft Punked.

We were given a recipe to follow, I hope you'll go and take a look.

I used a Boofle stamp, which I coloured using copics. The backing paper is a Boofle Christmas one. All matting uses brown card and the panel across the centre consists of brown card with brown and red ribbons, covered with some of the netting you get oranges in. I've added some candi and a sentiment to finish off.
