My Time to Craft DT Challenge #289 Spring Flowers

Hi, guys! it's been quite a day - my gorgeous grandchild and her parents paid us a flying visit and we went out for lunch. I'm here to tell you that Spag Bol with long spaghetti is more suitable for face-painting than eating. Lillie got it everywhere!!! Once she gets home I suspect she will be straight into her bath!

We also picked up a new printer, since my old one died yesterday. Which would not have been too bad, except that I spilled a cuppa over a (coloured!) printed image for another DT card, and when I tried to reprint, nothing happened! It's been a Comedy of Errors at the Manor recently!

However, now I'm here with my DT card for My Time to Craft and our theme is Spring Flowers. Think tulips, daffodils, hyacinth, crocuseseses - roses or sunflowers, though pretty, are right out!


I used Daffodils by Lili of the Valley. The papers are from the Snippets drawer, the gems are from Hobbycraft.

Gather a posie of your Spring Flower images and join in the fun!

Thanks for looking!

love Mags B x

This is lovely Mags. The image is gorgeous and love the design. Glad you had a good time with your granddaughter. I can remember my girls wearing spaghetti when they were younger. Always made for a messy teatime.

Ooh this is gorgeous Mags… it's a fab image and you've coloured it beautifully… love the pretty papers and the gems finish it off perfectly! :-)
The Spag Bol sounds very messy... I don't like anything sticky like that... had to get my hands in and roll some balls of stuffing for the roast dinner last week... Yuk... so hate it!!
Hope you've got your new printer all set up now
Take care and have a good weekend
Big hugs, Sue B xx

So very pretty and so Spring-y

Sorry about your printer, mine leaks, but it has a "custom" setting for card sizes so I am loath to change it - yet!

That's such a pretty image you've used Mags, and beautifully coloured too!

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...
