Hi there!
Next up today, I’m playing along with the sketch challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
Such a unique sketch this week! I had so many ideas but in the end I pulled out the fabulous birdhouse dies that I got as a free gift from My Favorite Things, coloured them with distress ink and hey presto, today’s card. I’m not sure though…. I may have gone overboard with those pink birds….. what do you think?
Then sentiment is also from an older MFT set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
I don’t think I’ve played along with the My Favorite Things sketch challenge since October, and having been inspired by this week’s sketch, I decided to play along!
I created a couple of stencils using my circle dies and gently blended some distress ink. Then I cut and coloured die cut shapes from the Dienamics Houseplants die set.
I arranged all the die cuts on the background before adding an stamped sentiment from the MFT Essential sentiments set and a few mini sequins.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches.
I really loved the sketch when I saw it because it takes me outside my comfort zone – I usually prefer to use an odd number of images on my card but this sketch had an even number (two circles).
For the card above, which is my entry, I used the fabulous My Favorite Things Houseplant die set with a Hero Arts frame die and a Memory Box sentiment. But I have to admit, it was actually my second card using this sketch. Here’s the one I made on Saturday:
I used flower dies by Creative Expressions and the Honey Bee Stamps woodgrain frame builder die set, plus a sentiment from Clearly Besotted. On Sunday, I decided to use the sketch with the MFT die set as well.
I prefer the plant card, but I’m totally into creating cards with plants and vases this year. Seriously I can’t stop buying vase dies! So which card is your favourite?
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Everyone!
I haven’t played along with many challenges this month but when I saw that the theme of the Memory Box / Outside the Box challenge was ‘trees’, I just had to play along! I have MANY tree dies…. and every year I buy more pretty must-have tree dies…. I can’t help myself!
For today’s card, I used my brand new Pine Tree collage die which I thought I could resist, but when I found it during a Black Friday sale last month, it just leapt into my basket! I also added the older Country Landscape die. The die is actually much wider than my card, but I cut it up so that I could get all the cabins in my scene. The join in the cardstock is hidden by a tall tree!
I used a colour palette from an interior design/colour combo book that I got for Christmas – I would never have thought of using Worn Lipstick and Tea Dye distress inks together for the sky! I’m hoping the book will help me to add more variety in my card designs in 2021!
The sentiment is by My Favorite Things.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.
Day 26 is a bonus day with My Favorite Things as sponsor. As usual, the designers had come up with some amazing inspiration and I was particularly taken by the two tags by Carol using the Delightful Deer dies.
I used some of my beloved Basic Grey patterned paper for the base and then added the cute deer cut from glitter paper! This came together so quickly but I love how the deer just pops against that fabulous paper!
I’ve loved this challenge even more this year! It’s been such fun stepping outside my comfort zone from time to time and using a variety of my festive supplies – old and new alike!
Thanks to Tracey and all the designers who made this such a fun event!
And thanks to you, of course, for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.
The sponsor for Day 24 was Heffy Doodle and the team had many colourful tags – such great inspiration. When I saw the tree tag that Tallie created, I thought of the Tannenbaum cling stamp by Penny Black so decided to use that for my tag. The sentiment is from a set by My Favorite Things.
Thanks for stopping by!
