Be There or Be Square!

We're now home with all gradings completed. Lewis passed his grading with credit (whoo hoo!!) and is now the proud owner of a yellow belt......or will be on Wednesday 'cause they're going to present the belts in class so unfortunately, do not have a photo of him to share with you, but I do have this one of Sam...hee! hee!



Do you think he was pleased or what?!!!! God knows what happened to his trousers, although we did find out later that he forgot to put any pants on when he got dressed!!! Will get one of Lewis after his class this week, just so he's not left out!

Now on to the Papertake Weekly Challenge. I'm VERY late with this one and the challenge this week is:

"...This week's challenge is squares! Square cards, square patterns or square on your layouts......"

This is my first attempt at a spring card (or boing as I like to call them) and I put it together in between gradings, so it was a bit rushed!



I've used the Whipper Snapper stamp "Easter Ribbit" and coloured him with Prismas and Sansodor with some liquid applique added to his bunny ears to make them appear fluffy. Cardstock is Bazzill as are the flowers, papers are from Blonde Moments, sticky ribbon is Anitas and brads are from my stash. Just got to find an envelope for it to fit into!!!

I do like those spring cards but I can never get mine to boing!! I love the colours you've used.

I hope you have your hatches battened for all this crap weather which is coming our way. Take care. x

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
