Penny Black Saturday November Challenge!

 Good Morning!
This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is 
'Anything Goes or Bingo!' 
To play along with the optional theme all you have to do is select a row, column or diagonal line from the following table. I've decided to play along and selected the line of
'Lot's of Layers - Penny Black Stamped Image - Embossing'.

The stamp that I have used on today's card is one that I've had for years and I'm not even entirely sure if I've even used it before! So of course I had to change that ...

Creative Inspirations November Challenge!

Good Morning!

This month at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS we have the theme of Winter Wonderland!

This month's prize is from CRAFTY RIBBONS and the prize is 1m lengths of each of these designs from their new Winterscene range!

I have a little tub in my desk drawer that is full of loose Card Toppers and images that I've cut out from shop bought cards I've received that I thought could be used as them (only on cards to friends / family of course). The image I've used today is a Topper that was sent to me by a crafting friend a few years ago and I think the image is adorable. 

I mounted it with some foam tape onto some cardstock that I cut from a stitched edge die, then I added some more foam tape and stuck the layers in the centre of a 4x4 card blank. I think these are the perfect size for cards where you want to try and keep the style clean & simple with all the focus on the main image.

LOTV Halloween Release!

This week LOTV are launching a Halloween Release and as soon as I saw the designs last week I couldn't wait to make a card with one of them! Today's card is using 'Pumpkins' and I can see her being very popular. Along with a range of Digi's there's also some new Sentiments and Printable Papers!

The papers I've used today are some that I must've had for going on 10 years and I'd completely forgotten that I had them until I had a proper look around my Craft Room a few weeks ago.

PBSC October Challenge!

 Good Morning!
This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is 
'Anything Goes or Too Cute to Spook!'

Well I've fully embraced the Halloween option and created a smaller card using some stamps from one of the Transparent Sets released a few years ago. Due to the stamp being on the small side I decided to make the main image into a tag, something I haven't done for a little while.

Penny Black T-Set 'Spooky!'

Magnolia Halloween Design Paper

Cheesecloth, Tinsel Twine & Wooden Star Buttons

Papermania Neon Shimmer Dome Stickers

Merry Christmas from a Snowy Couple!

 Good Morning!
Well unfortunately I didn't get any cards made during my fortnight off work, re-organising and dusting my Craft Room was the closest I got! I found out halfway through my time off that I had been given an Allotment so as you can understand my time was taken up with that lol I made this card before work yesterday however as I had been itching to make a Christmas Card ... It's a little simpler than my usual style and shockingly, I haven't added any flowers!

LOTV 'A Snow Couple' Digi Stamp and Sentiment
