All Dressed Up With Places To Go

Good Evening

Welcome to my new followers, it's a pleasure to have you :D

What an improvement in the weather, so much so that Emma had sports day this afternoon for the first time in four years!  Luckily hubby was able to get the afternoon off and take me up to watch all the fun.  The children were brilliant, encouraging each other all the way.  Emma's team won, so needless to say she was delighted.

My card for today uses the Appley Dappley's Nursery Rhymes cd-rom from Crafters Companion.

I used a dark brown linen cardstock for the base card, and added backing paper printed from the cd-rom.  The spotty paper is also from the cd-rom and I used an EK Success border punch to add some interest.  The main image is decoupaged.  The sentiment is placed onto a spellbinders die-cut, cut from matching brown linen card.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafting For All Seasons - Furry Friends


Crafters Companion Challenge - One For The Boys

Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenge - Use punches

Thanks for visiting.

A Challenge Card and and Something New

Good Morning

Who stole the sunshine? It didn't hang around long did it? Back to very dull this morning.

I've been playing with my brayer again, this time with Big and Juicy Waterfall. I love the colours in this one too!

This is my entry into The Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenge Birthday Wishes.

The otter is a Jayne Netley Mayhew stamp from Joanna Sheen. I coloured the main stamp and the little accent stamps using Lyra's, but coloured the water on the main image with ink from the Big and Juicy pad to tie it all in.

The shape of the card was once again cut out using my favourite Get In Shape Template. I've got my eye on some more of these, so may treat myself when my stash diet comes to an end. We'll see. I've also got my eye on some stamps too, lol, like I need more stamps!!!

Last night I was looking through my craft cupboard for something (risky business) and came across a card making book I'd been bought as a present a while ago. I flicked through it and spotted a fun card which I just had to have a go at. So here it is!

It's a mix of spirelli and beading.

Thanks for sticking with me! Have a lovely Sunday.
