Birds of a feather with Ruby's Rainbow and a DT call

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well.

I've just had another cortisone injection in my shoulder so I'm waiting for the agony to kick in!

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge at Ruby's Rainbow.

Our theme is Birds of a feather.

Here's my little piece of inspiration...

I've used the House Mouse triple cd adding a HOTP sentiment, which is one of my favourites, and a HOTP feather die, along with a strip of border and a little bit of ribbon. Very simple.

We're also looking for a couple of new members for our design team so if you fancy applying you'll find all the details here.

Thank you so much for visiting.

See you again soon xx

A bit of Downton with pearls and lace

Hi everyone.

A new challenge has started at Sparkles Monthly Challenges.

The theme is Pearls and/or lace.

Here's my little piece of inspiration made using some of the new Downton Abbey products...

The topper and papers are from the triple cd. I've added some turquoise lace under the topper and also under the border which I used as a stopper. The half doily and feather brooch are new Downton dies cut from Kraft card, which I've also matted with, finishing off with some wired pearls and pink roses.

We have a couple of lovely prizes this month...

3 digis

$15 voucher


I hope you'll join us. I look forward to seeing your fabulous projects.

See you again soon.

Autumn leaves with Ruby's Rainbow

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well.

It's time for a new challenge at Ruby's Rainbow.

Our theme for this fortnight is Autumn Leaves.

Here's my little piece of inspiration...

I've used an image and paper from the House Mouse Triple CD combined with a HOTP acrylic stamp for the sentiment for this A6 card. I've used brown card to mat, adding gold twine and self adhesive gold pearls, finishing off with a flower made by my lovely best friend Sue (she made me loads for my birthday) and a ready made bow in brown gingham.

I hope you'll join us.

Thanks for visiting.

Distress it with Sparkles Christmas Challenges

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well.

Well the golf tournament went well yesterday. It was lovely seeing Alan's friends again and really special that one of his closer friends won for the first time.

I had my cortisone injection in my shoulder yesterday so it's really painful today. Hopefully it'll start to feel better after 48 hours...really hope so. I think today's gonna be a long day! I've got 5 cards I need to make too.

Anyhow, there's a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges.

Our theme is Distress it.

Here's my little piece of inspiration...

I've used a white wash card with a blue core and embossed a snowman using an old brass stencil. I then sanded it to reveal the blue. I've also distressed the edges of the paper using a Tim Holtz tool. I've matted using black card to make the backing papers pop. I've also added some ribbon to the panel sitting under the image. The sentiment is from a Party Paws rubber stamp.

We have two lovely sponsors this month...

I hope you'll join us.
