 Morning and after receiving the most amazing  birthday card off  Chrissy HERE I decided to make the same style for  FB friend who goes onlots of Nature walks complete with pics -but is suffering a health setback-mine was a  lot smaller and not as impressive but I was still delighted how it turned out. All papers and images are from the Lavender pad from Stamperia, ribbon from stash-pics slightly out of order but they are all there lol.

Winter Birthday and Snowdrops

 Morning and my second post today is for the Winter Birthday challenge chosen by Christine and our GD is Pam  at Dragonfly Dreams which I have now rejoined. The papers are from CraftOClock the snowdrop image is from Sweet Dixie clear stamps coloured with promarkers and dies from Spellbinders. I stamped the image twice, cut out the flowers and added  with 3-D foam, after using the spotlight technique and adding part of the image with a Crafters Companion die, soft snow around the base of images-the sentiment is from Pink frog.

Magical Mushrooms

Morning and I have two DT posts today-the first one is for the ATG/Magical challenge at Stamping Sensation and we have prizes from Lavinia Stamps. Now I have a confession to make as I own no Lavinia stamps soooo----- I used my AALL&Create stamp set  clear embossed and coloured with promarkers,  a texture stamp by Lisa Horton-the sentiment says---Let's follow the mycelium path to a world of endless possibilities. The background was created by using three distress inks on a stamp pad, sprayed with water and pressed onto cardstock- a little doodling to finish.

Smash your Stash Journal Page

 Last Saturday of the month and time for the Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with Vicki from--- Stamped Smiles. Hope you will check out her blog-she makes brilliant journal pages and cards.

Due to computer breaking down then losing John I am two months behind so playing catch up with the Water theme. I found a premade background in my journal and just added some more blue distress ink and stamped bubbles, added a strip of wall lining-no idea why but found it in the drawer so on it went! I stamped all the images on p, paper from CraftOclock then cut them out with a tag die bought from a decluttering page on FB, the stamp set is from the decluttering page too, the voice of the sea sentiment was sent to me in a card swap. The centre sentiment tag was put onto 3-D foam pads.


I had to include the lighthouse-love them reminds me of the one at Spurn Point where I spent many happy school holidays. My Uncle was a Lifeboat crew man and it was very remote with chickens running round-my Aunt/Uncle and two cousins lived at cottage no 5-its all abandoned now due to getting wash overs with the tides and can get cut off sadly.

Gift Box Card

Morning, I found the instructions for a box card I made a couple of years ago and decided to decorate using some papers I wasn't too keen on lol. The papers are from Craft&You and Paper Favourites. The stamped leaves are by Stamping Art from Ciobella, stamped and coloured with pencils and cut out -I stamped on the textured side of the cardstock(by mistake-making a few lately lately!!!) and got a mottled effect which I quite liked. The little insect images were cut from a bite and sting cream box I was throwing away. The thin strip in the corner was cut off the paper and while I was sat having a coffee I was playing with it -then thought oooh that will fit nicely in the corner lol, a couple more offcut strips added inside too-got so carried away made a masculine one with some papers I have a few of too.
