Dies and Ribbon

Just popping in to catch a couple of challenges.I bought a new die of someone on a FB selling page so no packaging and can't remember whose it is-Memory Box maybe? Anyway I die-cut it in black and white and ended up making two monochrome cards for anniversaries.Congratulations die was a TL craft mag freebie,white ribbon from stash and black ribbon was packaging off a new throw to keep Johns knees warm in his shed.

Smash Your Stash Journal Page

 SEcond post today  and I have another journal page for the Crafty Your Stash challenge with Vicki. The challenge was unused stuff which I didn't have any more as had a massive declutter so made the one blogged this morning  with leftover unused stuff.Then after post been on strike a few days got a delivery this morning whilst out  with a new stamp set so made another page.


I found a page in my Pink Pig journal that had left over ink on already so used the stamp set from Pink Frog coloured with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.The sentiment and birds feet were stamps from AALL&Create.Much happier with this one and it actually looks planned lol !

Smash Your Stash Challenge With Vicki

 Morning and apologies to Vicki -the last Saturday is our Smash Your Stash challenge but I got mixed up with the dates senior moment -trouble is having quite a few lately! Please check out Vicki's blog as she is much better at this than I am lol!

As usual mine is a hotch potch and quite envious of the pages Vicki creates.I sold pretty much all of my stash when ill co no unused stash ---BUT---I found page that had a stencilled background already,die-cut negative and pearl trim in a drawer and also the pleated curtain top which I made for a past challenge and never used to that qualifies,a wooden owl coloured with pencils, sat on a number strip from inside a kitchen towel that I usually keep,three leaves pressed through big shot and never used so used a newish texture stamp from Creative Expressions.Doodles round the edges THEN found an unused bottle of Copper Pearl liquid pearls that I didn't even know I had?The wooden owl I also found and coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils(which are Helens but in my craft drawer-so mine right lol )

Hopefully watching my 6yrs old Grandson playing football with the Academy team he is in if weather fine -he is doing brilliant,scoring loads of goals  and winning lots of trophys bless him,

Pumpkins and Autumn

 Morning and I have two posts today---delighted to say I was invited to join the Stamping Sensations DT and this is  my first DT card for Stamping Sensations and the challenge is Autumn.

There are two prizes from Highlight Crafts.


 

I used the Pumpkins stamp from The Basic Veggies set from AALL&Create coloured with promarkers and the coloured splats were made with the end of a cork from a bottle of Bucks Fizz and oxide inks lol.

The next background was an unused one made with acrylic paints and the very background one was copy paper that I used when spraying my die-cut leaves a few months ago.
