Hello peeps,
Oh no bloggers been misbehaving again! I couldn't leave any comments yesterday including my last 7 DT comments for Simon Says Stamp and I really wanted to get my Paper Play DT commenting done so I wouldn't need to worry about them today, flipping blogger lol. Apologies to anyone who didn't get a comment left for them from our DT, I know Jane was having the same commenting problem, as were many others I've just discovered. I did plan on scheduling my post but I couldn't stay signed in for some strange reason so blogger wouldn't let me do it.
Apologies for being so late today, I've been off for another medical appointment for my shoulder and have eventually arrived home starving hungry (possibly due to only having a choc chip muffin to eat all day!) so my first port of call was the kitchen so I'm typing and munching at the same time. I am so looking forward to a nice bath and going to bed, in fact I would happily go there right now and it's only just gone 5.30pm lol.
Today is new challenge day at
and this week we'd love to see
Ingredients
Medium - distressed inks
Papers - Magnolia
Lace - Melissa Frances
Flowers - Magnolia
Pearls - Hero Arts
Tools - MS double loops punch around the page, Nesties, CC DESIGNS butterfly dies, Magnolia Doo Hickey
I've distressed the paper edges using Tim Holtz picket fence crackle paint and added diamond stickles for some lovely sparkle. I know some of you lovely ladies don't like me taking piccys of my card outside as the sparkle doesn't show very well but I wasn't able to get a clear picture of my card inside so I made the most of the sunshine and took it out in the garden.
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring this challenge with a mahoosive $50 in store spending spree
I had loads of lovely goodies arrived from Simon Says Stamp from my last DT spend and it only took 8 days for my goodies to arrive so I was a very happy girlie, a big thank you to Heidi and Steph for them xx
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Just Magnolia - fab sketch, Creative Card Crew - anything goes, Stampavie & More - pink, Stamps & Fun - flowers power, The Crazy Challenge - 123 recipe (1 image, 2 butterflies, 3 dp), Creative Card Crew - anything goes, Papertake - pretty pastels, The Paper Shelter - anything goes, Dream Valley - old & new (old papers, new Tilda), Craft Your Days Away - white +1, Sew Many Challenges - flowers & lace, CES - embellish it
Fingers crossed I can leave some comments as I really need to do my Paper Play DT commenting before I nod off to sleep.
Thanks for stopping by
Beautiful card,love the flowers and the butterflies.xxx
