Crafty Catz Challenge 29 - Stitching - DT

Good evening everyone, hope you are having a lovely weekend. Yesterday was another new challenge over at Crafty Catz and also the start of something new for me too. Kirsty who originally began the challenge has had to sadly give it up due to work commitments so I have now taken it over and it is all very exciting and new at the same time. All the lovely DT girls have kindly agreed to stay with the challenge and have all been very supportive so hopefully it will continue to be as popular and I look forward to the challenges ahead. This week's challenge has been set by myself and I want to see stitching on your cards, whether it be faux or real. I really hope you can join in this week, we are sponsored by Digital Delights and you can win a $10 gift voucher so that's got to be worth a go.

Digital Tuesday Challenge 55 - April Flowers or Showers DT


Good afternoon. Today is another new challenge over at Digital Tuesday and this week's theme is April Flowers or April Showers. We are very lucky to be sponsored by Di at Di's Digital Downloads and Di kindly let the DT have an image to play with and I love mine. I don't normally colour animals as I am not sure how but I loved colouring little Kaboodle and she will be appearing on more of my card's very soon. Please hop over to the blog to join in the fun and pay Di a visit too as she has some lovely digi-images. I am also entering this card into this week's challenge over at Passion For Promarkers whose theme is 'in the garden'.

Crafty Catz Challenge 28 - Red & Green - DT


Good afternoon, it's Friday again and a lovely sunny one too, long may it last for the weekend. Today is another new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week the lovely Trish has set us the task of using red and green and to include a punch on our projects, she has also kindly donated the prize this week too. I have used a Miss Anya stamp this week as I felt I had neglected them a little of late and also my new basic grey papers. I hope you can join us as we love to visit you.

Digital Tuesday Challenge 54 - Paper Piecing - DT




Good afternoon. Hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely weather, I can't believe it has lasted so long fingers crossed it stays a little bit longer, my mother in law moves house on Saturday and it would be so much nicer for her if it was sunny! Today is another new challenge over at Digital Tuesday and this week we want to see paper piecing with digitals. I love paper piecing but tend to only do it with stamps so this made a nice change and I will definitely be doing it more often. Hop over to the blog to see all the other DT cards and our sponsor this weeks is My Grafico who kindly gave the DT some images to play with.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 25 - Texture - DT


Today I have my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. This week's challenge is to use texture on your card. Now I struggled with this for a while as all I could think to use was embossing and as I still need to buy a die cutting machine I had no way of doing that so in the end I used some very touchy feely lace and ribbon for my texture. I have used one of my favourite Gorjuss Girls, I always find this one a joy to colour and I love the little birdy, so cute! I hope you can join us this week as we love to visit you all and see all your fab creations.

Crafty Catz Challenge 27 - Sketch - DT


Morning everyone and what a lovely one it is too, so nice to see Mr Sunshine 2 days in a row. We spent most of yesterday sorting out our poor garden after winter and it is looking a treat now, we had just one casulty of all the cold and snow one of my older trees, so up it came and now I have a big space to fill, the perfect excuse for a visit to the garden centre me thinks!! Anyway because of all the gardening yesterday I am a day late with my Crafty Catz DT card, but better late than never. This weeks challenge has been set by Kirsty and she has done us a great sketch to play with. We are sponsored by the lovely Beckie at Lilac Lemon Designs this week and she has joined us as a guest designer along with Tracey who won our GDT challenge a few weeks ago so hop over to the blog and see what they have come up with.

Digital Tuesday Challenge 52 - Scraps - DT


Hello! Just a quick post today and another late DT card. With the school hols and Ben not being well - been back to the doctor again this morning for more medicine I am getting nowhere fast. This week's challenge over on Digital Tuesday was to use scraps and I have used a piece of Basic Grey paper I had and some cord I found in the bottom of my bits and bobs box. I love the image, so simple yet elegant and it is from Digi Stamp Boutique.

Have a great Easter!
