Well I am back after a few days in bed after collapsing with low blood pressure and dehydration and I got into trouble as son and daughter were in bed asleep and I went downstairs for something and collapsed in a heap "at the bottom thankfully" couldn't get up or shout and laid there for half an hour before I managed to get back to bed.
Anyway I have a mystery for you before I post my card-this is the AALL&Create stamp - I used-take note of the number 5 next to the mushrooms.
Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Morning and time for the mid month(already!) inspiration for the Cute Critters/ATG challenge at Stamping Sensations-which is sadly our last challenge.
I used the Giraffe stamp and sentiment from Pink Ink, coloured with promarkers, sentiment die from Tonic, stencils from Creative Expressions and My Favourite Things. Circle and scallop die from The Works. B, paper was an oddment in stash and I added glossy accents onto the sunglasses. Pretty straightforward you might think-WRONG-this pretty simple card took me a full and I mean full after-noon-I cut an aperture in a card then realised I needed the p, paper, so added paper to another card and cut another aperture, stamped the image onto the offcut-slightly off so stamped another then die-cut. Stamped and cut out glasses, added glossy accents and left to dry, caught them with my sleeve, so another pair stamped and cut-when I finished the card thought they were dry-wrong -so another pair stamped and cut then left to dry all night! Fluffed the colouring on the giraffes eye lashes, but by this time and as the image was already stuck down thought it will pass. I also cut the giraffes lower face and ears from the first image and put them on 3-D foam.

Morning, I saw a sketch on Alysons blog for the latest Atlantic Hearts challenge which I really liked-while in bed knitting I thought ooh I have some snippets of Bee paper so made this card. Paper from Crafters Companion, snippets of Bee paper from Creative World of Crafts, die-cuts from Spellbinders, Memory Box and Hero Arts, sentiment from Penny Black and ribbon bow from stash. I coloured the poppies to match some flowering in the garden at the moment.

Morning and time for a new ATG/Fancy Fold challenge at A Place to Start. I made an easel card using the snowdrops stamp from Sweet Dixie and coloured with promarkers with a stencilled background from My Favourite Things. P, paper from Crafters Companion, die-cut borders with I am sure a Tattered Lace die and sparkly gems from Twinkle Goosebumps which I received in a card swap and these are the last four, circle dies from The Works and metal brad from stash-had years! All my snowdrops have long gone to be replaced with patches of beautiful Bluebells and orange and yellow Poppies.

Morning and time for a new "Cute Critters"/ATG challenge at Stamping Sensations which was chosen by Anesha and sadly after 16years this will be our last challenge.
There are four die sets and printed reflections prizes from Highlight Crafts.
I used the Giraffe stamp, sentiment and foliage stamp from Pink Ink, coloured with promarkers, die-cut leaves I have had for years and think they were a craft mag freebie and coloured with Distress ink. Background stencil from Creative Expressions and an oddment of paper which only needed a half inch cutting off from Crafters Companion. Corners rounded with a very neglected X Cut punch.
