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 

Fun Fold at AYLI

 I have a really unusual card to share with you today. Yet another colleague has retired so it was the perfect opportunity to make a very special card which fits perfectly with the new challenge at

It's FUN FOLD and this is my make

and here it is again at a jaunty angle to show the dimension.

I'll be honest, I'm not really in to fun folds because the cost of postage is so high BUT this was hand delivered so I pushed the boat out and strayed from 6x6 tent fold for a change!!

This is a pyramid arrow card that I found here at Created the Ottaway. It is SO effective but very easy to make with a minimal amount of measuring and folding. I layered the back so that I could write a message. The pretty daffodil paper is a digital from The Lovely Studio (no longer available, sadly). The die cut flowers and leaves are a Creative Expressions set, the "happy" die cut is from a Your Next Stamp set and the "retirement" from a Whimsy sentiment set. I am going to be making more of these for Easter!!

Please do join us with your fun folds.

See you soon xx
