Thorny Affair

 Hope everyone is keeping well. In have been having a little play in my craft room as well as spending a lot of time out in the garden. I grew some delphiniums from seed last year and have planted those out today as well as some more tidying up. Spring is on its way and the bulbs are all coming through, its a lovely time of year and great to be able to get outdoors.

So onto the card, this PB stamp is just perfect for a CAS card and a joy to colour, the sentiment is also from a PB Transparent set

Carolling Hedgehogs

PBSC challenge My third consecutive week of posting, think l am on a role.  I am enjoying being back in my craft room, if l limit it to one card a week that is more manageable for me at the moment.

Those who know me well will know l love my PB's and have a nice collection, l found this one which is perfect for the challenge currently running over at Allsorts. I pulled a couple of dies out and dug deep into one of my paper boxes and picked this one out, l thought l had a christmas one with music sheets on but could not find it only to find it a few days later when it was all stuck down.

Lavinia Pine Tree

It has been an awful long time since l have been in my craft room but l am determined to get back. The most difficult thing so far has been to get access to my blog and then to remember what to do next, this is going to take time to do.

I have used this lovely tree stamp from Lavinia that has sat unused for about a year on my desk as well as little Pippin also from Lavinia. I used distress inks to create the background, Inktense pencils for the tree and a good dusting of glamour dust as well as frantage to create the snow, sentiment and a little bow to finish it off.

I am keeping this very simple and will attempt to enter a challenge - so here goes.

Edit - update ... well that took some sorting but l manages to enter 2 challenges and eventually link them.


I would like to enter this into the following challenge:-
