I love You-calyptus

Hi there!

Isn’t the latest release from My Favorite Things adorable? I HAD to buy the koala set -so very cute. Thanks again for the super-fast shipping, Seven Hills Crafts!

I kept thinking of the first wild koala that my friends and I saw on magnetic Island 15 (!!) years ago. It was super exciting, but fair to say that he looked slightly less happy than these MFT cuties!

Anyway, I used papers from My Mind’s Eye and followed the design for this week’s MFT sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Spring!

Hi there!

The daffodils are gradually being replaced by tulips in my part of the world and today I saw some beautiful tulips in Borde Hill Gardens which inspired me to make this card using a beautiful Memory Box die. The stamp is by Simon Says Stamp and I also used a new Altenew Stencil to add some interest to the base card.

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter Bunny!

Hi there!

The theme for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is ‘anything goes’ using products by Stampendous. I coloured an older stamp with my beloved Twinkling H2Os and embossed a background panel using a wonderful folder by Leanne Creatif – it’s a great size for bigger cards!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wonderful

Hi there!

Day 30 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge! We got there! I LOVE the challenge and the wonderful community we have over on Instagram! Thank you Kathy Racoonsin for hosting this! I seriously can’t believe how quickly the last 30 days have flown by! Thanks also to all the ambassadors who have been so very kind!

On to my colouring for the last day of the challenge. I have been trying to get my hands on this wonderful Concord and 9th stamp for so very long and I finally grabbed it from Seven Hills Crafts last week! I have a feeling it will be making an appearance on quite a few of my cards in future!

Thanks for stopping by!

Making other plans!

Hi there!

Day 29 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and I didn’t have too much time for colouring today as I’ve been travelling. I was able to colour this image from Penny Black using my Inktense pencils this evening!

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous and I also used a stencil from My Favourite Things to anchor the image.

I’m entering this into three challenges – Case this Sketch, Less is More (use a frame) and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (things with wings).

Thanks for stopping by!

By the sea

Hi there!

Day 28 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and today I’ve been colouring an Art Impressions stamp with my Twinkling H2Os. Given the writing around the outside of the image, I decided the card didn’t need a sentiment, but I can always add one when I send this out.

To make the image ‘pop’, I created a wide frame from some white card and layered it on top of the image using funky foam.

I’m entering this into the current Addicted to CAS challenge – seaside.

Thanks for stopping by!
