Alphabet Challenge - E


E is for Elzybells! I love this girl on a swing. I made the card using some papers from My Mind's Eye Bohemia pad and added some Prima flowers and Papermania gem brads.

My Time To Craft - Metallica


I used the Cuttlebug folder 'Tiny Bubbles' on a piece of gold foil card, and added some 3d stickers which have a lot of gold on them. The butterfly is one of a lovely set by Anita's.

Whiff of Joy Challenge - Sketch


I used papers from Brenda Pinnock's wonderful 'Lavish' book for this card. I think the designs work well with the WOJ images. I punched the flowers from Coredinations card and added button brads to them.

Basic Grey - Paper Piecing


I used two Clare Curd stamps for this ATC. The butterfly is made up of two papers from the 'Perhaps' 6x6 pad. I chalked the background and then stamped the flowers.

Alphabet Challenge - D

D is for Doodle-doll by Lost Coast! The backgroundof this ATC is made with sequin waste and metallic inks. The other stamps are by Paper Artsy. The flower is cut on the Cuttlebug using Grungepaper. I rounded opposite corners to be 'different' -another D.


I did make something for C and it didn't get loaded up somehow! This is a Twinchie with a Blade Rubber Citroen 2CV stamped on it. The really grotty washer was found on the ground somewhere outside a builders' supplies store. Tip - if you want really authentic grungy things like this for your craft, hang around outside your local Jewsons - no-one will think you're weird - honest.

Forever Friends - St. George's Day - Red and White


I love this bashful bear with his balloon! I stamped him on some brown paper and stamped him again on red and cut out the balloon and flower. The spotty paper comes from one of the FF Christmas pads. I used a Papermania paper flower and some rick-rack braid as finishing touches.

Sketch 'n' Stash


For this card I used a new item - my X-Cut corner rounder. What a brilliant punch this is! Perfect corners every time and no problem getting the card in the right position. I used it a lot on this card as you can see. The papers are from Papermania's Nostalgia Warm pad. For the image I used a 3d sticker I have had for some time. I added a ribbon and some Prima flowers too.

Sketch Saturday


I've turned the sketch on one side for this card. The papers are from Basic Grey's Hang 10 set, except the scallop card which is from Papermania. The image is from a set by the wonderful Paperbag Studios. I added some brads and Prima flowers plus a sheer ribbon.

Alphabet Challenge - B





B is for Book, Birds and Butterflies! Also for blue, which is used on this project quite a bit. I made a little concertina book using some mini playing cards, and attached it to an ATC. The bird and butterfly stamps are from a clear set by Inkadinkado. The swirl is from a Paper Artsy Squiggly Ink set.

Whiff of Joy Challenge - Distressed


One of my favourite themes! I used My Mind's Eye paper, velvet ribbon, Prima flowers and some brads here. I distressed the velvet with the Chizzel-It and rubbed some pink and brown ink on the flowers. I tore down one side of the main paper too.
