PLANTING SOME LOVE

Hi everyone

Today I have another card which I made some time ago to share using this lovely Topper bearing the image created by Elisabeth Bell.  I think it is called something like 'Planting some Love'.  I love Elisabeth Bell's creations, have several of her stamps and each and every one are so cute and stamp up so lovely.  Then I spotted these in Topper form (from the Hobby House I think) .  Well it goes without saying I could not resist.

I would like to enter this into the Challenge at Ribbon Girl where the theme is 'Anything Goes' ( http://www.theribbongirlchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/ )

TICKLED PINK

Hi again

It is like buses all coming at once today.  If you would like to see my other post today just scroll down.  I have not entered challenges this year yet so I thought it was time I did so.

This card I would like to enter into the Cheery Lynn Challenge - Tickled Pink

I love these Cheery Lynn frames and flowers. In fact I am loving making the flowers too.  The photo is not easy to see but I have inked the flowers so they are tinged with pink.  I have used pieces of a Cheery Lynn Flourish die-cut too.

I love this Sarah Kay image which I have coloured with Coplics.

Thanks again for looking,

VINTAGE STITCHING

Hi everyone,

Firstly a really warm welcome to my new followers.  And a huge thank you to you all for your lovely comments.

Tonight I have a card to share which I made a little while ago and would like to enter into the Challenge at Bunny Zoe.  This Challenge is entitled 'Stitching'.  Well you know how I like making Vintage cards, I love the criss cross style and I usually stitch my cards anyway so this seems to fit the bill.

When making criss cross cards I must say I do cheat.  Instead of using two card blanks I simply make the front into a criss cross and the card opens at normal.  It is definitely time I made some more criss cross cards.  I love the style.

The image is from Magic Moonlight, and the papers are Memory Box ones I think.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Brrrr it is so cold here again today but I am not complaining because at lease we have not had any show as yet.

CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND JANUARY CHALLENGE - Anything Goes

Hi everyone

Happy New Year to you all!

Today sees the start to a new Challenge at CCAYR, which is entitled 'Anything Goes' 
I was so lucky to be able to work with this gorgeous Snowman Digi from Beccy's Place  
I love the poinsettias and have decoupaged these. 

It is not easy to see on the photo, but the snowman is actually set on a little four inch card which is adhered to the card blank and opens to reveal embossing and a place in which to add a personal message.
