Easter Cards

What a day!! After all the warnings about the weather, I was a bit surprised to wake up to a slight wind......the weather, not me!! and thought, they got it wrong! Oh boy, was I wrong!! One minute it has been chucking it down with rain and the next, brilliant sunshine, however, still with the strong winds they predicted.

Had to pop out to Asda to do some shopping which I did in extra quick time, then spent the rest of my free time trying to catch up with my Easter gifts. Have made quite a few today with about another eight to make which I should be able to do this evening and tomorrow morning. Will post a photo of them when they're complete.

In the meantime, have a couple of Easter cards to show, which I put together last night. The first is very similar to my 'boingy' card as it's the same stamp and paper so thought I would make use of the leftovers.





Stamp is Whipper Snapper coloured with Prismas and Sansodor and Brushables, with liquid applique on the ears, c.s., flower and brad are Bazzill and paper is from Blonde Moments.

The second card is from an image Fran sent me.......I fell in love with it so just had to buy the stamp!! This is coloured with Brushables which took about two seconds!! All papers are Pink Petticoat, brad is from Poppicrafts and sentiment is from Just Hatched set at Papertrey Ink. Very quick and simple!


The brad has come out a bit brighter than it is in real life.....it's more of a pastel pink. It's really kind of my Sister to lend me her camera, however, I don't like it and can't wait to get my new one. I think I missed it today while I was shopping, as a parcel was delivered but taken back again. Why is it when you pop out for 30 minutes, the Postie decides to bring your parcels?!!! Anyway, they're re-delivering it tomorrow so I'm going nowhere!!!

So fun! Great layout on these. I love both but I have to say the frog is my favorite for the giggle factor. Great job!

hope it's not too windy where you are - seems we have a temporary lull at the moment. Fab cards you've made, I had some of that Blonde Moments paper as a magazine freebie so will have to dig it out!

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.
