New Award

This award was given to me by Cathy and I am so proud that she chose to nominate me to receive such an award. Normally there are rules to follow and people to nominate but I have seen that many of you already have been the proud recipients and there are some that no longer wish to receive the awards so I invite any of my visitors to take the award and show it proudly on your blog because they are all amazing to me as you all are.

The Sugar Bowl

This is my final challenge card for the moment and it is my entry for the Sugar Bowl Challenge themed 'Spring or Easter'. I have used my new stamp from Funky Kits called 'Fingers Crossed' and coloured her with promarkers. The flowers were a gift from my friend Stef who very kindly sent me some SU stamped images and as I am into flowers big time at the moment I thought these would work wonderfully. Hugs Lorraine x

House Mouse Challenge

The first thing I would like to do is to say a big 'THANK YOU' to all my followers and for the comments you all leave for me. My confidence wavers so many times and it is you that make it worthwhile for me to carry on making my cards. The motivation and inspiration I receive from visiting your blogs is truly wonderful.

Well onto the card, this is my entry for this weeks House Mouse challenge themed 'shaped cards' so I have created this. I am so into Spring at the moment and I love the bright colours so again I have used yellow card stock and added some flowers and pearly doodles I hope you like it. Hugs

Faerie Challenge at PCP

Hi all it is blowing a gale here in Glos just waiting for the fences to fall down and what about the poor flowers they looked so lovely now they are being battered and some are laying down on the ground also heard that there was a likelihood of snow. Anyhow I thought you might like to see my entry for this weeks Faerie Song Art challenge at PCP I was rather pleased with this one. I have coloured the Faerie with Sakura gloss and stardust pens the flowers I have made myself and coloured with promarkers.

Another First

Another first challenge which is for Tilda and/or accessories and is based in Australia but I love Tilda so much I don't mind visiting a far off place to show her off in my style lol. The theme for this challenge is to use some bling so I have I have given Tilda a necklace, a gem in her hair clip and on her socks. I have also used gems down the side and on the cake that Tilda is sat on. I have used a sentiment and a flora doodle with a gem in the middle. The challenge is Kellie's Magnolia Challenge.

Three Clovers Designs Challenge

Hi all this is my very first entry to the Three Clovers Design Challenge where you are required to use any craft papers that you have had for more than a year. The papers I have used I have had for about 5 years and hardly used them I found them by chance while I was spring cleaning last week. Now I have found them I will use them quite a lot but it was only a small pad so it won't take long to finish them. I have used one of my new Tildas with the puppy the flower has been cut using my cricut I have added some gems and fluffy ribbon.

Easter Cards

Well this weekend has been so busy I have managed to complete approx 27 Easter cards, seven of them are A5 size and for those I have used these designs the Daff image is a Serendipity stamp the Tulip is Elusive Images both stamped in Versafine ink, the tulips have been coloured with promarkers. I wanted to keep them plain and simple otherwise I would have got bogged down, I also put some nice bunny rabbit inserts with verses in but forgot to take a photo. I so enjoy hearing what your favourite stamps are there have been a few surprises, it is funny when you visit someones blog regularly you think you know what they like but it's not always so. I love it so if you leave a comment please let me know what your favourite stamps are if you haven't done so already. Hugs Lorraine x

Tilda and Friends ATC

This is my entry for this weeks Tilda & Friends ATC challenge themed 'Horizontal Hold'. For the backing papers I have used some from Elusive Images and I found some gorgeous green vellum type paper which has a gorgeous sheen to it but feels thicker than normal vellum. I just happened to find it in my stash. I have coloured Tilda in a mixture of greens added a couple of flowers and used an edge punch on the green vellum.
