Inspired by a Song at Allsorts

 It's my pleasure to be the optional theme picker at Allsorts this time and I chose

Inspired by a song

We are BIG Queen fans in this house, and although were never fortunate enough to see them live have most of their music in LP, Cassette and CD form. Our boys could sing Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen, word for word, from toddlers!!

Anyway, those aren't the titles that I have chosen to inspire you with, I have gone with

Bicycle Race

and

Fat Bottomed Girls

I am a big fan of Jules' sketches and I used Rectangle Sketch # 15 for both of my cards.

The first uses a favourite The Cats Pajamas stamp, coloured with Promarkers and teamed with some free design papers that came with a magazine a very long time ago.

The second is a fabulous rhino from Rhino Rascals by Tracey Hey together with an excellent sentiment that we should all remember girls!! Coloured again with Promarkers to match the  Dovecraft Paper Posies papers.

We have some pretty bluebells down our lane, this was silly o'clock on Tuesday morning!!

NB I am not a weird shape, it's my body protector!! At my age I really should give up extreme sports!!

Thank you for dropping in  xx

CAS or Fussy at AYLI

 I am hosting (except I am probably going to be fired because I forgot!!) at

where the theme is

CAS or Fussy

I have gone bonkers with the fussy layers this time. It was the perfect chance to use more papers and a very much under used die set that was probably one of the first I ever bought. It's a MFT Blueprints set...remember those?

The eye popping papers are from MFT and Bo Bunny paper pads. The white heat embossed sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted stamp set. There's a fair bit of dimension as I put foam pads between all the layers.

Thank you for your company today. I know I have been a little bit economical with my visits lately but there has been lots going on chez Wills so aplologies for that. I hope life is being kind to you.

See you soon xx 

Allsorts Mask or Stencil

Val has chosen our optional theme at Allsorts this time and it's 

Stencil or Mask 

I had a ball with this theme, once again stepping out of my comfort zone and I embraced BOTH!!

Started off with a very old stamp from Tracey Hey when her stamps were available at Mama Makes. I love this cute fox so stamped him twice, once on the marker card and then one on a sticky sheet. 

Masked him up and stuck the funky fossil stencil over the top and got inky!! 

A super prize from from Lisa Horton Crafts, Pansy Corner layering stencils with coordinating die and embossing folder. Plus an extra prize of two stencils....

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. I have to say it's been glorious in my part of the world, everything is looking greener and spring colour is everywhere.

See you soon xx

Floral or Cute at AYLI

Hello friends, thank you for dropping in today to see what I have been making.

It's new challenge day at 

and we would love to see your projects featuring Floral or Cute

It will come as no surprise when I share some cuties with you, it's not that I don't like florals, I just like cute more!! These are from a Your Next Stamp set that I have had for a long time but only inked up once so I thought they should see the light of day again.

 The adorable little Easter "rabbits" were coloured with Promarkers and attached to some spotty card scraps. The sentiments were from the same set too.

These will be going to my work colleagues with a little bit of chocolate when the time comes. 

Thank you for sharing your day with me. See you soon xx

Spring Flowers at Allsorts

 Ellie is in the driving seat at 

and has chosen Spring Flowers as the optional theme.

Stamps and stencils (winners will receive random selection from those shown) from AALL and Create 

My garden is alive with colour which, after the seemingly endless winter, is making me very happy. I decided to take my daffs as inspiration for my card and used a very old LOTV rubber stamp. 

I used my Daisy Mae Arched Tag die cut set for the base and even did a shaped insert too. The stamped image was coloured with Promarkers. The tag is also a LOTV set that I stamped and cut out and attached it to the handle of the lovely jug with the thinnest organza ribbon ever!!

Whatever you are up to I hope you hae a good weekend.

See you soon
