A Day for Mothers

I do hope those who celebrate it had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday. The weather here in the South of England was beautiful, so we had a lovely family meal by the sea. We also took our new pup who was so well behaved!

Anyway I finally got round to making a card for my own Mum which I can now share with you.

Being short of time I turned to my Tilda papercraft stash. It is so pretty I tend to look at rather than use it!! I used a base card and various decoupaged diecuts. The sentiment was made using individual letter stickers. I'm glad to say that Mum was very pleased with it!

I am also going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Glitter and Sparkle - Mothers Day

Spring is here!

What beautiful weather we had at the weekend here in the South. The sunshine inspired me to create this card for the Handmade Harbour Challenge (on which I am a Design Team member). The theme for the fortnight is Spring -  flowers, birds or rabbits.

I used the paper piecing technique with the digital stamp Flowers on the Hill.

I have to say I am quite pleased with the result!

I do hope you will come along and join us at the challenge!

Other challenges I am entering:

The Crafters Cafe - A Square Card

A Craft Artist!

Well what a week last week was, Lady Luck was obviously looking down on me!  Firstly I won first prize at Crafty Sentiments Design blogs for my wedding card. And then the news I have been waiting for....I am in the Serif CraftArtist Design Team!!

I had sent my second stage samples off and never dreamt I would  be selected!  The kit we had to work with was Woodland Walk. Its a beautiful kit and here are my samples to hopefully inspire you!!

There are more exciting things to come shortly from Serif so watch this space!

Celebrate at The Handmade Harbour

Welcome back to another challenge at The Handmade Harbour. This week the theme is "Celebrate"

I very rarely use such bright colours but I think it fits this digital stamp really well.

I chose Birds and Gift Digital Stamp to create my DT piece. I coloured the images with Promarkers. I then cut the images and mounted them separately onto the card, using foam pads to give dimension to some of the squares.

I do hope you will come and join us for this challenge!

I am entering this into the following challenges:
