Time Out Challenges Reminder

Happy Friday Eve,

I am here with a reminder for our 'Inspired by Words' challenge at Time Out.

Our words are:

Love is the flower you've got to let grow' (John Lennon)

You can be inspired by the whole phrase or any of these words.

This week I went for 'Love' again and made this card:

I used left over hearts that I had used for a card earlier this month. Great way to use your stash.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Valentyna.

Check out here what Valentyna and the rest of the DT have made to inspire you.

Then take some TIME OUT and join in the fun x

Honey I Shrunk the Kit!

Hi All,

I recently joined a few crafty buddies in a mini kit club. We call it 'Honey I shrunk the Kit' club.



In this club are:

Hazel-Hazels Paper Designs
Sarah G-Funky Fossil Designs
Shona-Twine Around
Sarah P-Sazzle Dazzle Crafts

This time Sarah G sent us all a pack of goodies and we all had some 'virtual' crafty time together. We had a lot of fun.

Here are the 4 cards I made:

This card I used this gorgeous glitter gem.

I will enter this card into the 'glitter' challenge at CASology

This second card I embossed splatter.

Sarah's pack of goodies was so inspiring. I enjoyed playing with all this sparkle and shine with my crafting friends and can't wait to play again soon. Please don't forget to visit, Sarah G, Hazel, Shona, and Sarah . You will love what you see.

And here is the pack of goodies Sarah sent us:

The kit is a mixture of goodies from Hero Arts, Lil'inkers, Avery Elle and W9plus

Enjoy your day xx

Less is More and CASology

Hi There,

Popping in with a card I made this evening inspired by 2 challenges:

Less is More-white on white-Happy 5th Birthday

CASology-glitter

Sorry about the shadows but it is dark now and I needed to photo tonight as tomorrow I have posts already scheduled and I didn't want to miss CASology.

I used glitter white card to die cut the bow tie. Then to add some interest and texture I die cut a stitched rectangle die and linen embossed the base card. I added dimension by using foam pads. I do like white on white and adding texture and dimension I think really helps.

Enjoy your Sunday x

    

Fusion-Paper Hearts

Back again with a new challenge at Fusion.

This week I just used the photo as inspiration. Here is my card:

I used the colours of the paper hearts. I made a heart stencil and used water colour paints to mix the colours. The sentiment is embossed.

Here is our graphic. You can use either the photo or sketch to inspire you or combine the two.

Take a look here to see what the DT have made to inspire you.

My Friend Down Under

Hi There,

Today my card was inspired by the 'Down Under' challenge at  Less is More. It was Sarah's card here that gave me a 'light bulb' moment. I remembered I had this stamp and hadn't yet inked it up.

Here is my card:

I have a 'double' down under card here-Sydney city scape being down under from London, and my reflection being down under....yes I know it isn't a real reflection but blink quickly and you don't realise! I made my own heart stencil and sponged a light heart around the cityscape.

As I was making this card I caught myself singing the 'Men at Work' song 'Down Under' and then I remembered the song title challenge at Muse. Michele has set us this fun challenge. I think her song is 'Joy, Joy, Joy down in my Heart'???

I will enter this into:

Less is More-down under

One Layer Simplicity Challenge-friends

Crazy for Challenges-down under

Enjoy your day x
