Snow is Falling!

Hi All

I had to play along with the sketch at AAA Cards Challenge and like to try out a few one layer cards before Christmas....cheaper postage!

I think you could say I took the option of 'it flies' as snow falls from the sky but when lots of wind it flies everywhere too!!


You may think you have seen this before.....but no, I doubled checked and it is the same set I used a lot last year but this time a new design!

The set is from Visible Image and you can find it here

Have a fun day!

CASology #366

Hi All

We have a new challenge at CASology today and here is my card:


And the cue word:


Pretty easy to see I went for 'Leo' as my sign. This card did not go to someone who is a Leo but an Aries!

I have used delicata ink to stamp the Lion on a plain stitched frame and then mounted it on embossed card.

So what will you make of the cue word 'zodiac'....doesn't have to be a sign of the zodiac-I am sure you have many other ideas!

This challenge is sponsored by STAMPlorations

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Ma-Mi-we are so happy you are joining us Ma-Mi!

Pop on over to CASology to see what the DT have created for you and then join on in!

Our Design Team are all worth a visit and some love-here they are;


Enjoy!

You make Everything Brighter!

Hi All

Just did some stencilling to try to relax!
And here is what I made!


I used this stencil from lovely crafty friend Anila-thank you x

I was inspired by the colours at Color Throwdown-soon as I saw them...I wanted to use them!

Lots of Wink of Stella here but can't be seen so well in the photo!

Also entering into:

The Flower Challenge-Spring/Autumn

Enjoy!

Time Out #159

Hi All

We have our 'Inspired by Words' challenge at Time Out-you can use any of the words or the whole phrase to inspire you:

First off my card:


And here is the phrase:


How does my card fit the quote??

Well I went a little sideways on this as I wanted to do something a bit different. So I came up with the idea.....you need to type up books before you get a Library!!
And my book is called 'Hello'....so it could be on it's way to one of you!

The little typewriter is from our fabulous sponsor Newton's Nook and here I have used the stamp set My Type and the matching die set My Type Die

I added a strip of dry embossed white card-quite hard to see in the photo but IRL does show up really well.


I am so sorry to let you know that our wonderful Design Team Member Anita has decided it is time for her to step down and this will be her last challenge. Anita has been with us since we started Time Out and has inspired us all. I am so sorry to see her go and will miss her so much. Thank you Anita for all your hard work and helping us build Time Out to the challenge it is today.
Can't wait to see what you will be making us when you join in future challenges!

Now time for you all to take some Time Out and craft with us-pop on over to Time Out and see what the Lee Ann and the team have made to inspire you!

Enjoy!

You totally rock!

Hi All,

This card was inspired by Day of The Month Challenge-Rats-as soon as I saw this my mind went in a weird direction and thought of the stencil Rat Pack Stencil from Funky Fossil Designs.....not a traditional 'rat' but even if the DT don't accept my entry they might have a giggle at my approach!


Such a fun stencil!

I will enter into:
CAS on Friday-Black, White and one other colour

Have a good day x

Spring Days

Hi All

I haven't crafted for ages now but yesterday made a couple cards to give to neighbours who may need a little cheering up. I made 2 and my aim is to make some for all my neighbours especially those who live alone...if I don't get any more ideas...I will just make the same one!


I thought these colours might cheer people up!

I used a STAMPlorations stencil and the sentiment is from Verve-no longer with us much to our sadness!

I haven't been on IG for ages now so hope to put this up and say hello to you all xx
