Snippet's Day!

Today, I searched through the snippets box to see what I could find to make for the playground over at Pixie's place, and I came up with this


 3 narrow strips glued on and a flower cut with a spellbinders die and run through the CB with swiss dots folder, and a pearl added in the centre.
I will also enter at Cuttlebug Mania - make your own flower
Have a great week

A new style for me!


This is way out of my comfort zone, but I had such fun playing with various distress inks, bubble wrap, stencils, smooch, and my new Tim Holtz stamp set - Curious Possibility.- the base is kraft card. It started off to be a tag, but then I turned it into a card instead. I have also shown the inside and the back as well
 The inspiration came from Brenda Brown at Bumblebees and Butterflies and Paper Artsy. 
I would like to enter in the challenge at Paper Artsy
and also at Opus Gluei where I have become a new follower

I'm back!!

It has been so long since I have done any crafting, as I have been on holiday.
I have made this card using my new Crafty Individuals stamp that I bought at The Craft Barn while I was in the UK.
I have stamped it on a painty background that I made, and added diecuts on the left. The label was also cut with my cuttlebug. I added some colour to the main flower, and used gems on the dragonfly and another flower.
I am entering in
Cuttlebug Mania - use your initial - (garden and gems)
Polkadoodles - make your own background

First card for a while!

Today's card follows a sketch from Cardmaking Paradise. I have not been able to join in many of the sketch challenges, as we have been away too much!
The background paper is a pretty piece of Washi paper, and all edges are sponged with Inkadinkadoo Black Noir ink pad. The plain mauve piece is embossed with swiss dots folder, and the circle is cut out with scallop circles. A piece of mauve ribbon is set across the centre. I have added a sparkle to the flower with a Sakura pen, but it doesn't show in the scan.
I would like to enter the following challenges
Cuttlebug Mania - something for Mum
A Blog Named Hero - glitter and bling
Annabelle Stamps - anything goes
Pixies Crafty Workshop - use snippets

Thanks for looking - have a great week
