Every Flower is reaching for the Sun ...

Today over at 'Passion for Promarkers' is the start of a brand new

challenge titled 'Whatever the Weather'

With all the rain recently and for some the snow I thought a bit of sun was called for!

I have used this gorgeous digi stamp and decoupaged him up.

I have used - Papers, sentiment, charm, ribbon,corner, border

and that butterfly punch with no name.

Completely hand stitched, why break a habit of a lifetime.

We are sponsored by the lovely

who have 6 digi stamps for one lucky winner.

Thank you for popping by my blog today, spreading

a little sunshine in your day!

Mega Challenge ...

Happy, Happy, Happy Christmas

Today sees the launch of the new 

Passion for Promarkers Challenge

and we want to see your creations with 'Happy' incorporated in your sentiment.

I have used this gorgeous little mouse stamp and decoupaged him.

It doesn't show too well but there is actually an acetate band across the front with 

the tree to add to the depth.

I have also used - papers, trees, distress, cage, ribbon, buttons, sentiment,

pearls and puff paint.  Hand stitched as always.

Both teams are taking part in this Mega Challenge

Happy Birthday ...

Well the wonderful Teresa aka 

Crafting Alldays Cards is celebrating 

her birthday today and this is the card I made for her.

I am just loving these criss cross cards (had you noticed)

I hope it arrived safe & sound Teresa?

I love this image from DSB called Rosie

and another Nitwit collection of papers, soooo pretty!

The flowers are from the Nitwit collection too which I have

shaped and stuck with silicone.

All completely hand stitched, butterfly, charm,

ribbon, button.  Coloured with Pro/Flexmarkers.

Inside I have used Rosie from the same collection

and the sentiment has been heat embossed in silver.

That is it for me today, thank you for taking the time to visit

today and I will be back again soon.

Delight in the Little Things ...

Today I have this little cutie from Digi Stamp Boutique

for this weeks challenge at Passion for Promarkers

which is titled 'Shabby in Pink or Blue'

which has been chosen by Anja.

This is my first stepper card and very shabby 

indeed!  I really like neat and tidy

as a rule but this one made a nice change.
It was my little fur babies 3rd birthday last month
and this was her card!

This challenge is sponsored by the

who have a fabulous 6 digi stamps of your choice as this weeks prize!

I have used papers which were free in a magazine

which are by Nitwits Collections.

The sentiment, ribbon, pearls.

Completely hand stitched and the flowers 

have been made by just tearing circles into spirals!

Thank you once again for visiting my blog 

and all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate your time.

Please come and join the challenge.

Take care, love
