Easter Hedgie.



It has been an amazingly lovely day here today! Call me sad, but I get a lot of satisfaction in hanging the washing outside! I have no life...

This cutie is a Penny Black stamp, of course! I paper pieced the egg, which has dots of stickles on it, and the ribbon, which is Glossy Accented. I used Promarkers for the rest.

The ribbon and pearls are from stash, and the papers are from my snippets box. I reversed the papers for the inside:



Decorating the inside is such a good way to use up snippets!

I'm entering The Penny Black Saturday Challenge which this week is 'Easter Eggstravaganza! ie an Easter card.

I'm also going to pop along to the playground because I've been very remiss at joining in the snippets challenge. Maybe I'll have a go on the pogo sticks!

If that is completely incomprehensible to you, don't worry, it's just Pixie's Crafty Snippets Challenge

Hubby's home, time to make him a cuppa after he's spent an hour and a half on the Underground and train. He looks very hot.

Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x

Hi Mags

I love hanging the washing too, it gives you a sense of achievement when it's all dried and smelling great! Think l may be a bit 'OCD' though as all my pegs have to match and sometimes l go past peoples washing and tut at the way it's been hung out! Now you know you're not sad at all lol!

Lovely card, your hedgehog is very cute and he looks very happy with his egg cargo.

Love Rach xx

Wow Mags, everything about this card is just perfect! Super lil hedgie image, paper, ribbon (lush!) and paper piecing as well. If I bring our real life Spike along to 'show and tell' in the playground you can see him...err, first I'd have to catch him though. Hedgies can run at a rate of knots!

Hope you had fun in the ball pool today!

Dream Valley Challenges #205 Yellow and Black

Image
Hi, guys! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley and it's to use yellow and black on your project. Our sponsor is the gorgeous All Dressed Up and Wendy kindly gave us a couple of her adorable images to use. I chose Magical Woodland it is so cute. The background is made with the Honeybee layering die set from Birch Press, and I used up scraps of orange, black and yellow card forthe die-cutting. The die-cut sentiment uses a Love from Lizi die and a snippet of black glitter cardstock. Have a look of my teamies' creations, they have made some very pretty cards! Thanks for looking and - Bee Happy! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft #386 More Than One Fold - but not an easel!!

Image
Hello, my lovelies! I hope you're all keeping well and keeping on top of all the Chrimbo shenanigans! To take your mind off things we have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is More Than One Fold But No Easels! I don't know about you, but an easel card is my default for more than one fold, so I was a bit anxious about this one. However, in the nick of time Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make a Double Z-fold card which fits the bill! This is the outside, which looks like an ordinary Z-fold, but when you open it..... I used a printed ready-made card base and stamped and embossed an old Hero Arts stamp across the internal section, masking areas for the sentiments. I coloured the flowers with Zig brush markers. The sentiments are stamped with gold Delicata ink. This was made for a birthday at the end of October, I am pleased to say that the recipient liked it! There is some gorgeous inspiration on the Challenge blog, go and see! Thanks for look...
