Oriental...

Good morning, off to the opticians soon as my eldest is having his eyes tested. It's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our theme is 'Oriental' hosted by the lovely Susan. Our wonderful sponsors are the fabulous Flonz Craft and QKR Stampede.
Flonz $20 store gift voucher Also 12% discount offered on purchases to those entering the challenge    $20 store voucher

As soon as I saw the theme for this week's Allsorts challenge I thought of a digi image set I purchased from Digistamp Boutique a long time ago (now retired I think) and used one of the cute girls in the set. Her name is Kishi. I treated myself to a new circle die this week after seeing a gorgeous card made by the lovely Sue aka Bearhouse using a Marianne Design die that I think is absolutely beautiful. I now have one :-) It comes with flower and leaf dies so I used those also on this card...

Ribbon, pearls, ticket & resin flower - stash
Other - Marianne Design Craftables Circle & Flower Stitch die set, Spellbinders circle die, brown inkpad, kraft card

A little butterfly number...

Morning peeps, it's friday tomorrow :-) This was a super easy card to make as I coloured the image ages ago and had it cut and mounted. So all I needed to do was choose a piece of patterned paper and a few embellies. This is a smaller card than I usually make, about 4.75"...


Supplies:
Image - Butterfly On Flower coloured with Promarkers & Flexmarkers
Paper - from a lovely friend
Buttons & ribbon - stash
Other - Spellbinders oval & scallop oval dies, brown inkpad, kraft card

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

The holidays are over :-(

Oh boo hoo, it's back to work with a bump today. Over two weeks off has been wonderful but got to get back to normal sometime I guess. We've had a lovely time off and all eaten waaayyy too much chocolate ;-) It's a training day at school today so I get to see everyone and catch up without any children there which is going to be lovely. Children will be back tomorrow and that's when my boys go back to school.

Here's a quick and easy make using a super cute ready coloured image from Lili of the Valley given to me by my lovely friend Tammy. The lace was also given to me by a lovely lady. Thinking about it the sentiment was also given to me by yet another fab lady and the buttons were won from Crafty Ribbons in a challenge. I provided the paper, see crafting can be inexpensive ;-)


Supplies:
Image - from a coloured art pad from LOTV
Paper - Baby Mine Girl by Carta Bella
Sentiment - Craftwork Cards
Lace - ebay I think?
Buttons - Crafty Ribbons
Resin flower - stash
Other - Spellbinders circle & scallop circle dies, brown inkpad

Take care x

It's nearly chocolate egg time lovelies, hope you are looking forward to a relaxing Easter weekend :-) We are diving into decorating Jack's bedroom tomorrow. He has chosen a wallpaper for a feature wall and then we are painting the other 3 walls. So busy, busy, busy!

I think this cute bunny from Time For Tea Designs could be used on birthday or new baby cards as well as Easter cards...
