Crazy 4 Challenges Challenge # C4C360 - In a Name!

Happy Weekend to you in Blogland!
 
Here is my last card as a Guest Designer for the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge.  It has been lots of fun joining in each week, a huge thanks to the lovely Caz, who asked me.
 
So as the theme suggests, the challenge would like to see you make a card using your name or initials.  I have used a beautiful little stamps set from Hobby Art called : March Hares.  Having a name starting with the letter 'H' of course, Harvey the Hare had to be used.
You can go see the set HERE on the Hobby Art website.
 
The ladybird that I have stuck on the front of the card came inside a parcel randomly.  I just had to use it on my card with Harvey.  Not sure where the ladybug came from, but it was so lovely to have him arrive by surprise lol.
 
 
Here is a badge I made for one of the NEC shows.  I have coloured him in using Wink of Stella pens and have used the 'Typepad Alphabet' set of stamps for my name.  Have also added lots of 'Platinum' Stickles glitter glue, a must have with the Wink of Stella.

 
Am off to prep for my class and create & take class this week, lots to do so chop, chop better get on with it!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by and reading my post today.

Good morning,
 
Here is my card for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge.  A great theme has been given of 'Bees & Bugs'.  This challenge is right up my street as I love both bugs and bees!
 
Here is the link to the blog, where you can see what the design team have created, feast your eyes HERE I do hope you can join in the challenge this week.
 
For my card, I have used the gorgeous 'Busy Bees' stamp set from Hobby Art. This is my absolutely favourite set of them all.

Here is a little card made using the set again.  This card was a make and take from Stamparama - Stevenage a couple of months ago.

Crazy 4 Challenges Challenge - C4C357

Good morning,
 
Am sharing another card for the new Crazy 4 Challenge that went live this morning.
 
The theme is a :
 
"Colour wheel mix up... find your favourite 2 colours on the wheel and use the 2 colours on the opposite side of the wheel …. this will challenge you to maybe use colours you would usually shy away from."
 
 
My favourite colours are blue and green, so I have used orange and added some brown into the mix.
 
Here is my card :
 
 
I have used some Hobby Art Stamps called 'Orchard' and one of their fabulous sentiments.
 
The lovely Stamping Caz is hosting the challenge again, please do pop on over to see her card HERE.  Also the other team mates have made some stunning creations using the wheel.  You can visit the main blog HERE.
 
Thanks for stopping by.  Am catching up with lots of house things today and have some class cards to make, hopefully will spend most of the day crafting.
 
Have a great weekend!
