Allsorts Challenge 295

Hope you are all having a good weekend.  Saturday again and that means the start of the new challenge over at Allsorts.  This week my lovely teamie Wendy is the host and she has chosen

Flower Power

The design team have some amazing inspiration to share with you over on the challenge here along with all the details. I have made something a bit different, l have bought MDF pieces at craft shows and not done anything with them - until now. I painted them with Gesso then covered with distress ink and had fun stamping.

 For the pen pot l used a poppy stamp and text stamp from Inkylicious the added gems to the centres, pearl trim around the base and a pretty butterfly.

For the drawer chest l stamped with Inkylicious text and a flower stamp that l think was a freee one in craft stamper years ago.

25th of month project

Hello my lovelies, l have decided that to help become more organised for christmas l am going to make something for the 25th of each month  - it could be cards, decorations, maybe even a gift or two could even be a cake nearer the time.  

Today l am sharing some little gift card wallets - l usually buy gift cards for 3 of my grandchildren and last year the cards that came with them were a bit boring, so these will double up as there own little card too. Quick and easy to make.

I have not put a sentiment on this as l may look for a frame instead.

Fifi Goes Walkies

Hello my lovely crafty friends - l hope you are all well and back to normal after all the festivities. Christmas is all packed away and stacked in boxes in the garage.  The stack seems to be getting bigger after a few purchases - l have bought some icicle lights for the conservatory - an absolute bargain reduced from £50 down to £15 in Argos - they were sold out when l checked them but have been checking daily and they had a set in on sunday afternoon (they were out sunday morning) so l reserved them - then my daughter wanted some but they were sold out so l must have got the last set - never mind she can have my old rope light :). 

 I also have an addiction to christmas wrapping paper - l did not need any but it was reduced in Asda so l bought 3 rolls, then l saw some in sainsbury's with about 70% off so l bought....11 rolls - all different, then l went into asda again this week and bought 2 more - then l called into sainsburys on monday and they were selling it all off for 20p ... well l could not stop myself and bought 2 more and 10 bottle bags at 10p each. So........if ever there is a wrapping paper shortage l have over 30 rolls :)

Do you have any sale addictions???? 

Enough waffle and onto my card - l bought this stamp from Funky Kits a couple of months ago and have only just got around to colouring this little piece of sugar.  I made this card just because l wanted too and am pleased with the way it turned out and l am entering it into a couple of challenges.
