Allsorts Challenge 308

Hope you are all having a good weekend, the weather has been glorious this week and l have been lucky to have lots of time outside i8n the garden and allotment, but has cooled down for the weekend - lets hope we don't have frosts.
Saturday again and that means the start of the new challenge over at Allsorts.  This week my lovely teamie Helene is the host and she has chosen
Bring on The Bling

Now then - we all love a bit of sparkle so get out your gems and glitter. The design team have some amazing inspiration to share with you over on the challenge here along with all the details. I went for something a bit different - l decorated a canvas, the first time l have done one and l was quite pleased with the result and it is very sparkly irl as l covered the hearts with glamour dust.

Hope you are all having a good weekend and the sun is shining where you are.  Saturday again and that means the start of the new challenge over at Allsorts.  This week my lovely teamie Jo is the host and she has chosen
Quick & Simple Does It
So if like me at the moment you are busy with the other things in our lives and crafting time is limited this challenge is perfect for you - l used a background piece that has been on my desk for a while and a LOTV pre coloured topper and just added some glamour dust and embossing powder.

My second card today is for the Midway Reminder for Penny Black & More @ Allsorts my teamies have some lovely inspiration to share with you - check out all the details and sponsors here.
The April theme is Birthdays and we have lots of lovely sponsors - l went for a fairly quick one for this too. I stamped the Iris in clear embossing and added fine detail white powder and embossed it then covered in distress ink, the white butterfly is also from a PB set and the purple butterflies are a Kars punch. I used a Martha Stewart Around The Page Punch for the mat and was quite pleased with it although the photo does not do this card justice.

A Little Playtime

Hello my lovely crafty friends, l hope you are all keeping well. It is a busy time in the garden and the allotment and l am managing to keep on top of things, l love being outside.
I am planning a trip to New Zealand at the end of the year to visit my cousin and have been looking at flights, tomorrow is the big day when l intend to book them - a long way to go on my own but l am looking forward to it, l know that if l don't go this year l may never get there.
 My mojo has been on walkabout at the moment and l just seem to sit in my craft room staring into space, so l gave myself a kick up the rear end and had a bit of a play with a stamp that had not been introduced to ink. I tried a different colour combo than l normally use for hair and l rather like it.  I am also trying to use my dies more. Have just realised l have not added a sentiment so will have to sort that.
