April Showers...

Happy Tuesday and it's challenge time again over at

Oldie But A Goodie.

I was responsible for choosing the theme this time and I do hope you will like it...

April Showers Bring May Flowers

interpret it as you wish, rain, spring, flowers just as long as something on your creation is older than six months we would love to see what you've made.

Here is my contribution...

I used a freebie digi set that I coloured with Promarkers (no change there then!!). The wonderful papers are

Raspberry Road Sweet Summertime and I used a really old tonic punch for the flowers and equally aged pearls in the centre.

Olde Worlde Christmas

Good Morning blog world and I hope the sun is shining on you, this Mothering Sunday.

I have another Christmas card to share today

I used my Go Kreate die set for the kraft card base and mat, which I distressed and inked with white and brown for a shabby look. The image was from a Vintage Christmas cutting sheet. My poinsettias are a mix of Spellbinders and Marianne and the holly is by cheery Lynn.

This shows the concealed tag which was stamped with a magazine freebie and coloured with Sakura glittery pens and tied with ribbons and fibres. You can just about see the stickles.

I'm off to play here

Tag...you're it!!

Me again...told you I had another to share and this is number two.

The Crafty Little Fairies challenge this week is " Add A Tag"

I used a shaped card and covered it with the lovely Isabelline paper. Clementine had an outing, I'd forgotten how adorable she is. I used my gorgeous Marianne die to sit her on and dyed the seam binding to match the papers. I used a LOTV tag sentiment and a little pearl. Simple but effective!!

Porky Passion

Hi de hi crafters!!

Hope this finds you well. I can't believe I haven't managed to post anything yet this week. The time seems to have slipped away with me. We've had some lovely days ( far too good to miss!!) so aside from work I have been outside . Anyhow, to make up for my absence I have two cards to share today and this is the first
- my creation for

As You Like It Challenge.

 Our theme this fortnight is to showcase your favourite animal, and don't forget to tell us WHY.

Now then, my long suffering crafty buddies will know that horses and dogs are at the top of my, most favourite animals, list. However, a little known fact is that I have a passion for all things piggish. I have a large welsh dresser that is home to masses of the little porky darlings. Ornaments, teapots, stuffed ones, candle ones...the list goes on and on, I even have oven gloves!! I'm not entirely sure how it started, we have never farmed them, so I think the love probably came from a weird fascination with Pinky and Perky as a child !!

Anyway, now I've got that off my chest here is my card...

The image is " I smell spring" from Whimsy, coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from Cuddly Buddly.

I'm taking pork chop off to these challenges!!
