Hi there!
Welcome to Day 4 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for the February challenge at The Flower Challenge where the theme is ‘add a heart’.
Today, I used the pretty, new to me Meadow blossom frame die and stencil set by Poppystamps – this was a joy to colour! I paired it with the Drifting Butterfly die and a sentiment by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.
I’m determined to make my way through my ‘new stuff’ box this year and so for my CAS take on the challenge, I used the Simon Says Stamp Layer Bird Bunch dies set that I got in their Thanksgiving sale – so not THAT old, considering what else is in my box!
I created the background with a Taylored Expressions stencil that could have been made for the sketch and coloured the birds with distress inks and coloured pencil. I adhered the birds and a few branches from a Sizzix set to my card base and added a sentiment by Clearly Besotted.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the technique challenge at the 52 Christmas card challenge.
I ended up using my new Nellie Snellen Christmas Tree stencil with the coordinating embossing folder. I used the stencil with distress inks to highlight a few trees.
The sentiment is by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Good morning everyone!
This week, I have the honour of being the Guest Designer over at one of my favourite challenges – the Color Throwdown Challenge.
The palette for this challenge is grey, aqua and green, such an interesting combination, don’t you think?
It took me a little time to come up with a design – and I ended up using so many different manufacturers on this card – a Tim Holtz stencil, dies by Spellbinders and Birch Press Design and a sentiment stamp by Concord & 9th!
There’s some amazing inspiration from the Color Throwdown DT over on the challenge blog – I do hope you can play along this week!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is ‘add texture’.
Using a Creative Expressions stencil , I applied texture paste across my card base and added a Memory Box egg and just a peek of the cute Simon says Stamp Peeking Chick die.
The sentiment is also from an older Simon Says Stamp set.
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.
Thanks for stopping by!
