Creative Inspirations - April Challenge!

      Good Morning!

Okay so I'm a little late making my card for this month's challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS however it's better late than never as they say!
This month's challenge theme is 'The Season of Spring' and I decided to play along using a digi I'd printed off last year but never got around to colouring up, until now. The main circle is originally blank so I added a birthday sentiment by LOTV.

INGREDIENTS -
 Digi by Kit & Clowder
Birthday Digi Sentiment by LOTV
Clear Dew Drops

ALLSORTS - IT HAS TO BE SPRING

Penny Black Saturday - February Challenge!

 Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  Wings!'
I haven't played along with the optional theme as I wanted to use this dinky stamp on this month's card. Last year I made a couple of small 3x3 cards with my smaller PB stamps and this one joins the set. Purposely kept C&S it makes them versatile for any occasion or even just as little note cards.

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamp
Dew Drops

Lili of the Valley Design Team - The Biggest Cake!

             Good Morning!
I'm still churning out the birthday cards and today's card is one of those. In fact it is the other half's birthday this weekend and this is the card that I'm planning on giving him. I haven't used any floral embellishments with this in mind so I think it can just about pass for a male birthday card! lol
The stamp I've used is an older design by LOTV called 'The Biggest Cake'

INGREDIENTS -
LOTV 'The Biggest Cake' Stamp & LOTV Sentiment
Basic Grey Papers from my stash
Ribbons & Doodlebug Sprinkles

Penny Black Saturday - January Challenge!

                      Good Morning!
I hope you are all keeping well. Unfortunately I've been off work since Wednesday due to a rather nasty viral/sinus infection (tbh I don't even know what it is) so I've felt pretty lousy and still do ... hence why today's post is rather late lol

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  Something New!'
I have played along with the 'Anything Goes' option and made a Birthday card as my stash of these is rather low of these at the moment.

Penny Black Stamp
LOTV Sentiment Stamp
Maja Design Papers
Assorted Flowers, Ribbons, Wooden Heart & Doodlebug Sprinkles
