Crafting for all Seasons #76 "Lots of Layers"

Good morning all.
Own up...who pinched April!! I can't believe it's May tomorrow, this month has just disappeared! Thanks to those who've asked about me, I'm fine just a bit tired and run down after the virus and also really busy so me time has been on the back burner for a few weeks.

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Lots of Layers". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet who gave the DT images and papers to work with.

I've used the pre-coloured version of Baby Gangstaz Joel from Reeces Scrap Pieces and printed it several times so I could decoupage it. The backing paper is from Crafter's Companion's Camden Town and was on the disc which came free with the winter magazine. Dies are all from Spellbinders. Sentiment is computer generated and happy birthday is from my stash.

My Godson will be 13 in the summer so this will be perfect for him.

Christmas Card Club "Christmas Light"

Good morning all.

We've had a lovely spring week so far and it looks set to continue over the weekend too, it certainly lifts the spirits!

Our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club was due on Sunday but I was up to my eyes in wedding invites and birthday cards so I'm running a little late here! It was Asha's turn to choose this time and she set the theme "Christmas Lights". 

Stepper card is made with a Cheery Lynn Die, papers are from Papermania, candle die is from Memory Box ( a January sale purchase on it's first outing!) and sentiment from my stash.

Inside also completed and flat for posting!

You'll find the rest of the girls listed on my sidebar if you'd like to pop over and see their creations.

Crafting for all Seasons #75 "Ribbons and Lace"

Good morning all.

Wedding invites mark #3 have been put to bed and delivered, thank goodness..just some favour boxes to make now. It was Mum's birthday yesterday so my brother, sisters and I took her out locally for afternoon tea. I'm hoping life will resume some sort of normality for a while now!

It's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Ribbons and Lace". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Limited Runs who gave the DT images to work with.

I've used Stacked Snowman which I've printed several times, coloured with promarkers and layered up then die cut and matted with dies from Spellbinders. Embossing plate was a magazine freebie. The ribbon and lace has been in my stash since I was a teenager....way back in the dark days of flared trousers and the Bay City Rollers lol. The bow, gems and sentiment are from my stash. I've used glamour dust and stickles to add sparkle.

All finished inside too :)

Crafting for all Seasons #74 "Dies and Punches"

Good afternoon all.

Well I don't know what I did to deserve it but I came home from the funeral on Friday with a flu bug...I'm only just beginning to feel human again!

A little later than promised, here is my card for our current challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Dies and Punches". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by The Paper Shelter who gave the DT images to work with.

Last week my Aunt and Uncle were lucky enough to celebrate their Diamond Wedding Anniversary, this is the card I made them.

I've used Vintage Floral Frame, pre coloured  and decoupaged, which I bought recently with a GC I'd won. Backing paper is from the Vintage Flower for You paper pack which I also bought with my GC. Heart die is from Tattered Lace, butterfly from Marianne Designs, wording is computer generated and gems are from my stash.
