Sketch & Stash Challenge # 29

Hello, hope your half term is whizzing like mine? Have managed to fit this challenge in today, inbetween taking Georgia and her friend shopping and out for the afternoon. Then it's pizza and pancakes tonight, lol!

It's another great sketch over at Sketch & Stash Challenge . It's great to use up all of your unwanted bits and bobs. I raided mine and even found this lovely Penny Black stamp 'Cinnamon' that has never been used. There is a $15 voucher from Whimsy Stamps on offer as the prize this week, and the DT cards are just beautiful!

My card using everything from stash : Lime and Black Bazzill Cardstock, Daisy Bucket 'dotty' paper, black/white check ribbon, Craftwork cards 'sentiment', Woodware frond punch, SU flower stamp using black/white inkpads and Hero Arts clear stones.

Enjoy your 'shrove tuesday' and all of those pancakes! hugs Heidi xxx

MAWTT & Willow Sketchie Challenges

Hello, sorry I haven't blogged or blog hopped for a while, I have been suffering from the flu, am on the mend today but am slightly late in sharing my DT cards with you for Moving Along With The Times and Willow Sketchie challenges.

Moving Along With The Times Challenge # 33





Over at MAWTT, it's the turn of my dear chum Hazel, she has come up with a real stunner of a sketch and the theme of 'Cute Companions'. So any little cute images, ie, Daisy & Dandelion, Penny Black, Popcorn Bear etc ..... it's up to you, just follow the sketch and join in!

We have two prizes on offer this week, firstly a set of Special Edition Daisy & Dandelion stamps and secondly, some D & D decoupage sheets, all kindly donated by The Glitter Pot.

I decided to use this cute little image from Penny Black and have made a valentine's card for my lovely hubs who will be home from his travels over the weekend. I am so excited, as he has found a large craft shop whilst he has been away, and has brought me some goodies for Valentine's day, better than any choccies or roses, lol!

Allsorts Challenge # 38 - Get Distressed with Buttons & A Bow!

Good afternoon, I can't believe that Sunday has come around again! Have had such a busy week, mainly due to my little bubby Georgia being poorly with Viral Tonsilitus. she is on the mend and should be going back to school tommorrow, thanks to everyone who has sent her get-well messages, it was lovely of you all!

Here is my entry for Allsorts Challenge . The theme this week is 'Distressed with Buttons and a bow'. I decided to not use a stamp for my card, I have been neglecting my Cuttlebug bits and this butterfly is just beautiful! There are some lovely stamps and ribbons up for grabs this week, so do pop on over and take a look at the lovely DT cards.

My card is a new take on a tri-shutter card and I have taken three different pictures so that you can see it up close. I have started off with distressing all of the edges and inking them using my Momento brown inkpad. I have used some brown and khaki Bazzill cardstock. Kaisercraft 'Dancing Jewel - Amethyst' paper. QK Scallop die cut shapes in two sizes. Cuttlebug Butterfly, Kaisercraft flowers, bling and pearls. Ribbon from Amercian Crafts. Buttons and ink pad from stash.

Have had a wonderful day crafting with Georgia, got visited by my bruv and now have to go cook Roast Beef with all of the trimmings yum! Enjoy the rest of your day, love and hugs Heidi xxx
