Hi there!
Today I’m playing along with the Outside the Box challenge where the theme is floral favourites!
I decided to play with my newest Memory Box die again – the Backyard Floral. I coloured it with distress inks and adhered it to an egg die cut. The embossing folder and sentiment are also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
It’s been a long time since I played along with a Just Add Ink challenge and now that work is calming down, I have more time for crafting and decided to play along this week.
The challenge theme is no stamping so I pulled out my new Delicate Floral Buds die set by Birch Press Design and got busy with my Gemini Junior!
The sentiment is by Simply Graphic and the embossing folder is by Spellbinders.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Sunday everyone!
It’s been a while since I played along with the Can You Handle the Pressure challenge, but as I was able to craft a lot this weekend, I decided to join in with the current challenge which has the optional twist of Easter
I’ve been excited to play with the cute Bunny Kisses die set by The Greetery and today was the day! I coloured the images with distress ink and added a little mini pompom to the bunny. I embossed some light pink cardstock with a Spellbinders embossing folder and assembled my little scene on a panel cut from an older My Favorite Things Die-Namics set. The grass is cut with a Lawn Fawn die.
The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi again everyone!
Next up today is my entry for the Poppystamps challenge where the theme is ‘die cuts only’.
I knew I wanted to use my newest Poppystamps die set – the Layered Tulip die set so started by cutting some old inky panels with the dies while I thought about the rest of the card. I wondered if I could use an embossed background but given the theme I played it safe with the leafy frame from the Fern and Daisy Pop up Easel set. I added some foliage from a Memory Box flower set.
Then I spent a little while looking at all my sentiment dies – I was rather surprised that I don’t have many generic sentiments by Poppystamps, but fortunately this Hello worked well!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a fabulous combo of blue, rust and brown. It’s all change at my favourite colour challenge this week as the team welcome the talented Kelly! The team is always pretty stable but somehow I missed the farewell to Barbara, I loved her amazing takes on the colours. Many congrats Kelly on joining the amazing DT!
Last week I received and played with the amazing Spring Meadow stencil set by The Greetery. I enjoyed playing with it so much, I was determined to play with it again, although I surprised myself by reaching for it again so soon! I thought it might work well with this combo? What do you think? I used three shades of blue and added rust/brown to the flower centres, although I did use black for the darkest flowers.
The background embossing folder is by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

Happy Friyay everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.
When I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to use one of my favourite background dies – the Geometric Circles die (51-644) with a jar of flowers from the new Charisma stamp set (30-969)*. I started by colouring the stamped image with my Twinking H2O paints and used the colours as inspiration for a distress ink background. I trimmed down the panel, adhered the background die cut and added some Stickles.
While that was drying, I set up my card base and used the Textural die (51-729)* for the background strip in the sketch. After assembling all the die cut elements, I added a little flower from the Swinging die set (51-618) to the jar and a sentiment from the Snippets stamp set (30-283).
Thanks for stopping by!
