 Hello! We have a new Challenge at Dream Valley which is Circles. I may have gone a little over the top with the amount of circles on my card!   Our sponsor is Rachelle Anne Miller and I have used her adorable Ballerina digi stamp. I used the Mod Circle Frame Die by Simon Says Stamp and inlaid it with a textured patterned paper from my stash. I used the same paper as a mat for the image.   With the offcuts of the white card and patterned paper I made a second card, adding a Vintage Bicycle die-cut in silver - the bicycle shows up rather better in real life! Gotta love a 'twofer!'   Take a look at my teamies' creations for more circular inspiration!   Thanks for looking and take care!   love Mags B x

 Hi there! Happy Monday! We have a new Challenge at  Dream Valley which is For a Child. Our sponsor is Morgan's Art World. I have used a very sweet image, this is Susie. I used some old papers by Echo Park and the end of a reel of ribbon - I'm getting better at using things up instead of just admiring them! The Nuvo Drops look very dark in the photo but they are lighter irl and also more sparkly! Go and see what my teamies have made with some more of the cute images that Morgan kindly sent us! Thanks for looking and stay safe and well. love Mags B x

  Good morning! Our new Challenge at My Time to Craft is a technique challenge - Stencil It! Unfortunately I can't find the stencil I used (it's SOMEWHERE in the olde craft hovel!)  I liked the geometric shapes, as this was my Olde Manne's Birthday card this year. I used Distress Oxides and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Simply Sentiments stamp set.  I'm glad to say the Birthday Boy liked it!  Stencilling is so versatile, take a look at the examples left by my teamies on the blog for some gorgeous inspiration!  Thanks for looking, and take care!  love Mags B x
