Deb’s Card

Sandy’s Card

Vicky’s Card

Leesa’s Card

Leesa has been rather handy dandy with her recycled product – she uses her paper towel which has been used as a drop sheet when she uses her Glimmer Mist – now that is amazing and such a great idea Leesa. Imagine all the different colours you could make. I was lucky enough to see Leesa's card in the flesh and it's stunning. Well done Leesa.

Sandy's Second Card

I have to say that I am blown away with the girlies efforts. I love that they have all included a fantastic TUTORIAL on each of their blogs. PLEASE pop into their blogs to check out how they made the flowers for each of these cards. So different and so fantastic. You can click on their names beside each card above and that will lead you to their blogs - be sure to leave some lovin while you're there by way of a comment or 2.

Thanks for your efforts girlies. Now I know how to make some new flowers and everyone else can join in and create them too. Well done!!!!!!

"NEW BLOG GIVEAWAY" Are you up to the task???????????

Ok onto the next challenge.

No rest for the wicked.

If you would like to go in the random draw for another giveaway - then this is what you need to do

Create a NEW card - for my challenge only!!!!!!!

I would like you to create a card with 3 HANDMADE FLOWERS using a recycled product.

There are a lot of different ideas going around at the moment to create handmade flowers from old sewing patterns, fabric etc.

So I need you to

* firstly create the flowers from recycled products (it would be great if you could take some
progress photos of your flowers - I would love to see how you've made them)
* secondly to add a handmade centre to your flowers - maybe an old brooch, vintage button,
bottle cap, self covered button etc
* thirdly - create a card using your handmade flowers

That's it - you can make as many cards as you like - each card will be an entry into the draw.

I will leave this open til 17th May - I HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE CHALLENGE TIL THE END OF THE MONTH - 31ST MAY SO IF YOU WOULD STILL LIKE TO JOIN IN YOU ARE MOST WELCOME. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE JOINED IN SO FAR.

Goodluck - you're time starts now!!!!

Just pop back to this post when you have completed your card and I shall include a photo of your creation.

Just popping in.

Hey there everyone.

You will see that my blog has been pretty quiet of late. It's not for lack of mojo as that has come back finally.

My little fingers have been working very hard creating daisies for 2 big orders I have which is rather exciting.

I have 2 new colours to add to my collection of daisies too and hopefully a couple of new mixed packs to release.

Things should settle down next week and hopefully (fingers crossed) I can get back into the swing of creating.

What have you all been up to? Sorry I haven't been visiting many blogs either - just a bit hectic.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.

Hey Birdie Collection by Kaisercraft

Look at one of the NEW gorgeous ranges by Kaisercraft. It's called "Hey Birdie Collection" and I have to say that I just love, love, love it!!!!!

Here I have created a card for the Little Scrapbook Shop's 5th Birthday celebrations.

We had a sketch to follow so I just knew I had to use the new papers that I picked up at Picture 2 Page show yesterday. I had a blast at this great little show - I have been going every year for the past 5 years I think. It's a beauty and I always look forward to it and it never lets me down. I picked up a few bargains actually which was nice.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.
