This little chap was pulled from an old LOTV sketch pad and coloured with Promarkers to match the MME paper pad in suitably bold and manly colours.
I hope you will join us this fortnight.
See you on Saturday xx

I am way out of my comfort zone with my card today. Dena is hosting at
Allsorts Challenge and her optional theme is Use a stencil.
I don't have very many in my crafty arsenal but this Funky Fossil one has been used a couple of times.
A lovely crafty friend gifted me some DI pads so I used those to create the delicate background in pink and lilac shades. The adorable little hippo is Trouble in a Tutu by Clearly Besotted (sadly retired but there are other cuties available!). I coloured her with Promarkers and popped her on the Whimsy Birthday die using foam tape.
Prizes from Oakwood (2 x A5 stamp sets) and Highlight Crafts (3 x A5 stencils)
Thank you for your continued support xx
Hello bloggy friends. Thank you for stopping by today.
I have a super cute Christmas card as it's time for a new challenge at
♫ Oh bring us some figgy pudding🎜
I coloured him with Promarkers and again used papers from Kraft Notes by Do Crafts.
That's another card on the christmas pile.
See you soon x
We are "Up, up and away" at Allsorts this week where the optional theme is balloons.
I have made a little four inch card using a lovely MFT set that was part of a birthday gift from a lovely crafty friend.
Hello friends. It's my turn to host at
As You Like It Challenge
and the theme is Clean or Fussy.
I have pared back on enbellishments over the years and tend to go for a flatter card these days. My love of paper pads and my substantial collection means that I use paper wherever I can but still like a clean and symmetrical design. White mats always add to the clean look I think.
Here's my card to inspire you...
LOTV are our generous sponsor this time and I have gone "all out" using a very old paper pack and clear stamp set for the image.
The adorable little critter was coloured with Promarkers.
We are very much looking forward to seeing your take on the theme.
See you on Saturday xx
Hello and welcome to another week. I hope yours is a good one!!
I am hosting at
Lolo is the theme chooser at Allsorts this week and it's
For the Love of Animals, a favourite of mine.
Now I nearly went with the predictable (for me) dogs and/or horses but, as I am still on a mission to use old stuff, had another treasure hunt in my stash and found a Paper Boutique pad that suits the theme perfectly.
For something a little bit different I made a journal using some envelopes and armed with the paper pad set to work covering the pages and using the sweet images for journalling tags.
This is the front cover. It fastens with some gaden twine. The label pulls out of a little tuck spot. I think the label itself and sentiment are from a Tonic die set.
These pages have a belly band that holds a journal tag and a pocket with a kraft tag and a sweet hedgehog tag too.
A little notebook, bound with washi tape and a couple of labels on these pages, edged with lace.
Hello peeps, I hope that you had a peaceful Easter and that the easter bunny left at least one egg!!
No eggs here but a bag of carrots for some cute bunnies. It's my inspiration for you to join in at As You Like It Challenge this time where the theme is CUTE or FLOWERS.
Happy Monday folks!!
I have a Cutie to share with you today as it's time for our new challenge at
Hello everyone and welcome to a new challenge at Allsorts. Its my pleasure to be offering the optional theme this week and it's Keep it Simple.
I have made a tag.
I used a Daisy Mae arch die cut set for the tag and punched a hole, die cut a reinforcing ring too. The lovely flower die set was a Birthday present that I cut using various scraps of coloured cardstock that I inked for a bit of shading.
There...simple!! We have a lot of family birthdays up until June so it will be put to good use sooner rather than later.
I hope that you will support my theme that is actually running for two weeks.
Prizes for weeks 773/4/5 from Highlight Crafts and Stamp Addicts (£15 store voucher)
I hope you have a lovely weekend xx
Chrissy is hosting at AYLI today and her theme is Fun Folds
I LOVE trawling through You Tube and Pinterest seeking new and unusual folds and techniques.
This is a really clever, flat to store, box, that's a real fun fold both to make and use.
Flat....
I had SO much fun that I even made a video actually showing how it pops up!!
Hello and welcome friends and visitors. It's CUTE time and I've gone a little bit CAS with my card to inspire you to join in at the new challenge at
The theme is Easter or Mother's Day (cute of course).
I've gone with Mother's Day and used a super cute Wild Rose Studio stamp that I found (among others of the same brand) while redecorating my work room earlier in the year. I'd forgotten how sweet they are so expect to see more. Honestly, it's been like going shopping without spending money!!
Anyway, bunny and bouquet were coloured with Spectrum Noir markers and glittered a little bit. I fussy cut the image and mounted on foam pads for some dimension. The sentiment was made using a Whimsy Stamps companion set, another rarely used thing!!
Well that's all for now. Looking forward to seeing your cute makes xx
