PBSC July Challenge!

Good Morning!

I missed the boat with the start of this month's challenge as my card wasn't ready in time! I'm still struggling to find time to craft these days but I am trying my best! Luckily we have a mid-way reminder post each month for our challenge so at least my card was ready for that lol

This month's challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE is 

'Anything Goes or Nature!'

I decided to go for a Monochrome style and kept my card Clean & Simple along with using the second & third generation stamping techniques. I think it's worked quite well with this stamp and I've kept the card versatile for any occasion by keeping it sentiment free.

  INGREDIENTS -

Penny Black Cling Stamp

Doodlebug Sprinkles

July's Creative Inspirations Challenge!

Good Morning!
Yet another month has flown by and I shamefully haven't had anything to share since my last Creative Inspirations card ... I am determined to make that change this month, even if it means starting to make the old Christmas Cards (eeek!) I know it's early but I'm starting to get the urge!

Back to today's post and we've got a new challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS starting and this month's theme is 'In The Garden!'
I didn't really have the time to colour up an image for my card so I dug out one of the pre-coloured designs that I have in a drawer by LOTV. As I've said before they're perfect for quick cards! This image is now available as a Simply Print and you can find it by clicking HERE.

 INGREDIENTS -

LOTV Coloured Image & Sentiment

Assorted Maja Design Papers

Assorted Flowers, Ribbons, Cheesecloth & Paper Doily

PBSC May Challenge!

Good Morning!

Apologies for being an extremely bad crafter this past month, life is just a little hectic at the moment! I can't wait for things to go back to some kind of normal one day ...

 Anyhoo back to today's subject which is a new challenge over at 

PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE and the theme is 

'Anything Goes or Inspired by a Song!'

I used one of my favourite Penny Black stamps for today's card which I sold a few years ago, unfortunately I can't seem to find it anywhere to buy again for myself which is a little bit annoying lol

I haven't intentionally played along with the optional theme but I'm pretty sure there's lots of songs about Sunflowers out there! I've kept it sentiment free so that it's versatile enough to be used for any occasion.

Good Afteroon!

 It's time for a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE and the theme is 'Anything Goes or Ribbon / Twine!'

I'm extremely late with this month's card, as I mentioned in my previous post my life is pretty hectic at the moment as I work in a local shop ... you can imagine what working in retail is like right now. So I'm pretty exhausted! 

However I really wanted to make sure that I had something to share this month, it's extremely Clean & Simple but I thought that it was better than nothing!

April's Creative Inspirations Challenge!

Good Morning!

We've finally started a new month, was it just me that felt like March seemed to go on forever? 
We've got a new challenge at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS and this month's theme is 'April Showers & Flowers!' Something nice and easy for you to play along with, as I'm sure a few people will be doing a lot of crafting due to what's going on right now!
This month's prize is from THE PAPER SHELTER and the prize is 
3 IMAGES OF THE WINNER'S CHOICE!
For this month's challenge myself and my Design Team have all used the same Digi provided by the sponsor. It's a great way to show how one image can be used in various styles.
