Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello!

This week's theme for Sweet Stampin'  is Bright and Beautiful.  I was full of joy and positivity when I set the theme but now I question that wisdom.  Hence the theme of one of the cards below.....

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Hello!

This week's theme for Sweet Stampin'  is Feature a Sentiment.  The first one was inspired by some art that was on the wall in our hotel bedroom a few weeks ago, but then I decided it might not be sentimenty enough so I've given another option too!

Bank Holiday Blues

Hello.

It's Bank Holiday Monday so I've no doubt that the weather will be rubbish.  Not that it matters here in Glasgow as we're STILL in lockdown.  After 30482305 days I can't see an end in sight. Ever.

This is a card I made fairly recently.  I was just looking through some old cards there and found some more than a year old.  And Easter cards too (but they're from this year so not too bad....)

Heart of 90's - Faery Ink

Sentiment - Alpaca Pals

Radio Waves - Visible Image

Oh Deer

Hello.

This card has been a long time in the making - I was inspired by the papers to make a sort of retro Christmas card to join in with Fezziwigs but couldn't quite find the right image so that challenge went by, then I was going to use them for another challenge and that whooshed by too.

The theme this time is Oh Deer and this is the last day so I'm rushing to post this before this challenge passes me by too.

I'd like to enter in

Own Up!

Hello.

I suppose one good thing about our current situation is that it gives me time to play.

This wee panel started off as a cut off of something else I was doing and it ended up like this!

This wee Vera Lane image - Bright Ideas was perfect for the Tim Holtz sentiment strip.....

Is it a Monster?

Hello.

For today's card I've used a Saturated Canary image.  Making these cards has been great fun as I've been using up lots of scraps of paper!  It's also challenged me not to make square cards.

This is it, it's Christmas Eve.  If I haven't got it now, it's not getting got!

I haven't finished sharing the cards for the year, but I'm going to have tomorrow off so there will be more photo heavy posts to follow after Wednesday.

Hello again.

It's time for another challenge at Fab N Funky.

This time our theme, set by the lovely Chris, is

Bright Sunny Colours (or Use the Sun)

I didn't manage to use a Bugaboo image (our lovely sponsor this week) but I did manage a nice bright cocktail! Could just do with one of these right about now  - the sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world right?!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Flowers

Last week was my local craft shop's (Craft World) biannual demo weekend - and I spent a lovely couple of hours catching up with friends and watching them as they demoed. Of course I had to buy some stuff and I was that inspired that I came home and had a play! I know.. incredible huh?! Do you do what I do and leave stuff in the bag for ages? Not this time so I've got a couple of cards to share today.

Both cards are done with Distress Oxides.

Flowers - MFT
Leaf Flourish - Inkylicious
