By the time you read this I should be just about reaching home from my lovely holiday and will be dreading the pile of washing and ironing I will have to do – don’t you just hate that after a holiday?
It’s challenge time at ATC Challenge Blog but as I’ve been away I’ve not got an ATC to share. The time the theme is:
ANYTHING GOES
Pop over to the ATC Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the design team have made.
Bye for now.
As you are reading this we are spending our last day in Ireland and this evening will getting the ferry from Cork back to Swansea, The ferry journey is long but is overnight so hopefully we should be able to get some sleep.
Ooh I do waffle sometimes…..anyhoo I am back with my final GDT card for Creations by Gill M where the theme this week is ‘Anything that Flies’
I’ve used Bumblebee Tilda but wanted to colour her up in different colours to tie in with the gorgeous papers from First Edition. Inspired by Joanne Wardle I have stamped Tilda on Kraft card and coloured her in with Derwent Cumberland Coloured Pencils, and considering this is my first attempt at colouring on Kraft I’m pleased with the way it turned out.
Don’t forget to head on over to Creations By Gill M and see what the rest of the DT have made and to join in with this fabulous challenge.

As you read this I will be almost halfway through my holiday but I’m here to say it’s time for another challenge at Paper Crafting Journey and this time it’s a nice and easy….
This time we are sponsored by Meljens and the DT were lucky enough to be given some images to play with and I used this fabulous butterfly which to me just said paper piecing straight away.
I haven’t used any Meljens images before but I have to say I will definitely be using them again as they are so well drawn, cute, I could go on and on, also I noticed they do rubber stamps through Whimsy stamps.
Don’t forget to hop over to Paper Crafting Journey and see what the rest of the DT have made.
Bye for now.
Items: White 6x6 Scalloped Card blank from Little Claire, DP from a MME pad that came free with a magazine, all other card from stash, Stickles in Magenta and Stardust, ProMarkers, Pinflair Glaze, Image from Meljens Designs and Sentiment is computer generated.
Another fortnight has gone by and it’s time for another challenge at Critter Sketch Challenge but before I get to that I just wanted to let you know there is a DT call going on at the moment, please click the badge to go and find out all about it.
Right back to the challenge and the theme this week is:
WEDDINGS
Well it’s not a traditional wedding card but there’s a reason behind it….my Sister is getting married for the second time and her and her future husband are going to marry in St Lucia next year. My sister opted not to have a big white wedding the first time round and is keeping it even simpler this time round! So, I have used the colour of her dress as my inspiration and as we won’t be there on her big day I have made this card for her to open on the morning of her wedding as a good luck card and it will take the place of a big hug from me.
I have used this super cute image from Bugaboo and although it doesn’t show in the photo I have glossed the dress with some Pinflair Glaze. I am addicted to it at the moment, it’s fab as it glosses but isn’t raised liked glossy accents would be. I wanted the focus to be on the dress so have kept the rest of the card quite simple.
Don’t forget to stop by Critter Sketch Challenge and see what the rest of the DT have made.
Items: Card from stash, Image a freebie from Bugaboo, MS Half Daisy Border punch, Sentiment from Kaisercraft, ProMarkers, Stickles Lavender, Pinflair Glaze and Whispers brush markers.
