More than One fold at Allsorts

Liz is in the driving seat at Allsorts this time and her optional theme is

More than one fold...she is the Queen of fancy folds!! 

(Anything Goes is also most welcome)

I did this...

...a simple Z fold that looks really impressive. The adorable little bunny rabbit ( Your Next Stamp Frosty Friends) sits over the sentiment inside.  The sentiment inside is from a Clearly Besotted set.

                             Two prizes, a bundle of craft essentials from Stix2 plus an A5 stamp set

Life has taken on a steadier pace after our exciting September and I am also planning my exit from the NHS so I fully intend to be more present here in Blogland!!

See you soon xx

Favourite fabric embellishment at AYLI

 Hello friends and visitors. 

It's the day for a new challenge at

where the theme is

Favourite fabric embellishment (and tell us why)

I love a bit of ribbon or lace to add a bit of texture to a card or project. I confess to having rather a lot of ribbons and lace that I have accumulated over the years so there is usually the right colour in my box.

On this occasion I found some pretty lace topped off with a thin satin ribbon to adorn Connor and Amelia's wedding card.

The digital image is from Lili of the Valley called Just Married. I coloured them with Promarkers. The paper and the die cut heart are both from the Rustic Wedding collection at Crafters Companion. 

The wedding seems like such a long time ago now. The happy couple had a minimoon in Naples and are planning a get away to Europe for a few weeks in December to visit the Christmas Markets.

Thank you for your visit, it's much appreciated xx

Shades of Autumn at We Love Stamping

Today is the start of the October Challenge at

 We Love Stamping

The theme is Shades of Autumn (Anything Goes is also welcome).

I had the best time making my card.

It was the perfect opportunity to use some of my inks (turns out I have a lot!!) to make this tent fold card using  Crafters Companion Spring Wreath stamp & die set. The wreath is made up of multiple numbered stamps that created lovely layers that I then die cut. For a little more interest I stamped some of the foliage stamps on the base and added the die cut wreath on foam pads for some height.

Two prizes, stamps and stencil from Sweet Poppy

    

 

 

Anything Autumn at Allsorts

 Happy Saturday everyone. I hope that the week has been kind to you and that you have something nice planned for the weekend.

I am delighted to be here to share my DT piece for the new challenge at

where the optional theme, chosen by Christine, is

🍂 Anything Autumn, Anything Goes is also most welcome.

I love card making but I do like to dabble in making little wallet/folio keepsakes and the one I am sharing today is a lovely kit from Angela Kerr Designs. It's called Rustic Reflections.

It was relaxing to make, I really enjoyed the fussy cutting and followed a You Tube tutorial on the construction. It's full of pockets, flips and tucks that contain tags, tickets and little journal cards featuring autumnal colours and images.

2 prizes of Penny Black stamps, stencil and stickers from Buddly Crafts

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you.

See you soon xx

Favourite Sport at AYLI

 It's all about Sport today at

We would love to see your projects sharing your favourite Sport (and why).

It will come as no surprise that my favourite sport is anything that involves a horse. during the summer months I love nothing more than going to agricultural shows and watching the equestrian events. 

In support of that I had a hunt through my stamps and couldn't actually find anything suitable except this sweet stamp that I coloured with Promarkers. It was the first horsey stamp that I bought from Buddly Crafts called Charley with Willow. The gorgeous paper background is very old and is Marianne Designs, Elines Beach House.

I am sure that pony has just put on a brilliant performance and his prize is the apple!

Thank you for dropping in xx
