Welcome to the Blog

Here is a thankyou card I was asked to make for our Church Warden, who is stepping down after 5 years service. He does a lot of maintenance work so I decided that I would use my rubber necker stamps that have been sitting in a draw waiting to be played with. The main papers are from the basic grey collection archaic, the tools have been made by paper piecing from scraps in my stash.This was my first attempt at paper piecing, it was a lot easier than I expected, especially after Sue showed my...

I thought I'd have a bash at "A Spoon Full of Sugar"'s Challange for this week. I've used a RAK'd (random act of kindness) image that Linda sent me the other day (thanks once again for these Linda) and combined this with papers from Basic Grey's "Sugared" collection.

Here's my monday Mojo challange card. I decided that I wanted to make a manly themed card. The papers I've used are from basic grey the archaic collection. The image is of Riley made by hannah stamps coloured in using watercolours. I have emblished the card with orange stickles on the eggs and with brads of set on purpose again from the archaic collection.

The Challange this week was to use at least 5 pieces of ribbon, they could be the same colour but different shades.

I needed to make my daughters friend an 18th birthday card so I combined it with this weeks Friday Sketchers Challange.I've used my newly acquired picket fence from psx and my flower tilda, along with some basic grey papers (two scoops). I've emblished it with some papermania flowers and organzia ribbon.

I was really surprised whilst blog hopping on the sites that I follow to find that Linda had given me this award.There is one rule that comes with this award and that is you have to pass it on to 10 people, this is going to be such a hard decision, as I love all the blogs I visit.Heres my 10 (in NO particular order) ~ Sue, Joey, Sian, Pesc, Nicks, Chrisite, Barb, Chelsea, Ethel and Sherri.

I decided that I'd try and incorporate 2 challanges in one. The one on Sketch and Stash for the lay out and Magnoila Down Under Challange #1 which had 3 criteras to be met:Has to have RED… brads and backing paperHas to have a Tilda not Edwin…. def tildaAnd lastly has to have a Autumn Theme… colours and titleI coloured image in using my Caranache watercolour pencils and added some green organza ribbon
