Lace

This time the new challenge over at Ooh La La has been set as by Tez and she's looking to see some

Lace.


Hopefully we'll have lots of entries this time around as lace is so easy to incorporate into a card.  For my card, I chose files from the Say it with Words CD and along with lace, added pearls and a corner diecut.

Challenges;
Crafty Friends - 65 - Birthdays
Alphabet Challenge - L - Lace
Fussy and Fancy - Things with wings - Butterflies
Craft Rocket - Animal Kingdom
Creative Moments - AG

Things Beginning with 'B'

These challenges don't half come around quick! I think you can tell I'm spending less hours in my craft room these days, and if I haven't worked ahead, it's a mad rush to get my cards made on time! Oops!

Luckily I had this one made up before I went on holiday, so it was just a case of typing the post before it went live.  And the theme this time at MAWTT is...

Something/s Beginning with "B"


Bath/Bubbles/Bathing/Butterflies/Blooms & Birthday

So I think I covered quite a few B's with this bathing beauty from Pink Gem.  Jx

Challenges;
Fab n Funky - Anything Goes
Pause Dream Enjoy - Birthday
Simon Says Stamp - Add a Sentiment
A Gem of A challenge - Birthday Wishes
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes Jx

Flowers

I've made this card ahead of time so we are still in Spring with the daffodils blooming as I type this post.  Hopefully as this post goes live with the Ooh La La challenge Michelle's choice of  theme will be in full bloom!

I went with summer flowers and chose this delightful image from the Shawn Jenkins CD - can you tell it's a favourite of mine and if you don't already have it, might I suggest you look into getting it as it really has so many fantastic images!



Anyway, back to my card - a simple layout, a touch of coloured lace and a heat embossed sentiment by Visual Image - love these little verses and think they finish cards beautifully.

Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes

Super excited today with lots of things to tell you all! First off, I'm guest designing for Stamping Sensations this month after winning their challenge back in June.  Really pleased to have been asked, and it was a nice easy one for me as their challenge this time is

Anything Goes

So my card for them was a thank you, made for hospital staff to thank them all for the great work they do.

It's a simple CAS card using a brilliant Simon Says Stamp thanks die and a couple of medical figures stamped from a Woodware cling set.


Colouring as ever is by Promarker.

Now, as I mentioned earlier, my GD spot came about after a Stamping Sensations win, but what I never mentioned was my great prize - a credit of £35 with Visible Image - and look at all the lovely goodies I got!

Haven't used them yet, but am delighted with my prize so HUGE thanks to Visible Image

Finally, my other news - as you read this I'm on holiday - currently in Rome hopefully enjoying the heat and the icecreams...will tell you all about it on my return, Jx
