A late card and a missing card

 I have my weeks all in a muddle.  I could have sworn it was next week this week.  As a consequence yesterday's Make My Monday card is late.  We would like you to 'say it with flowers' please. My favourite is Lavender so that's where I went with this one.

My missing card is from the Cardz4guyz blog.  I uploaded it last week and it has disappeared.  I have asked Caz to add it to the page so it may appear yet.  The theme is 'Squash it' basically it means 'use an embossing folder.  I hope Caz can add it to the page as the folder I used is my favourite.  It's an old double sided one from Spellbinders.  I'm so pleased by how this one turned out.

Please go and check out the other DT cards and join in the fun.

You don't have to be mad to work here...we'll train you!

 Morning all.  Two posts in one day! Go Me!

We are on the 15th of the month so we have a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly.  Our new theme is 'Trios'.  3 of anything on your project please.  My other half needed a leaving card for a colleague so I did this for him.

Not sure what's going off with my picture.  The central panel didn't look that wonky on the original.  I was looking for some manic, stressed out critters for the three images and found some lovely fun images on Orson Artistry (Etsy). I also added three sets of three gems.  Apparently, I nailed the brief and the other half was thrilled with it.

Oh Balls!

Morning all.  It's my theme over at The Alphabet Challenge today and I've gone for 'B for Balls'.  Doesn't matter what sort of balls.  One of the design team has come up with a brilliant idea and used gumballs.  Go over and check it out.  

I have gone for football this time.  I know, I'm a cricket girl at heart, but in a family of football fans (some Derby County, some Notts Forest - and yes we do still talk to each other) I have gone with the majority.  I even have a great niece who plays for the local junior girls team.  Go the Stanton Ironesses!

I have discovered a new clipart designer on Etsy and I am totally in love with their designs.  Dotwit is new to me but I had to fill my basket with some of their sets.  You will be seeing more of their work coming up.  It does make it easy to create when the artwork is so lovely.

Going around in circles

 Afternoon all.  Over at Cardz4galz we would like to see 'Circles' please.  It could be a circular card or project or something with circles on.  I have very few generic cards in my box as I use a lot clipart and dies.  I decided to do something about it with this challenge. 

I also managed to use some scraps so this was a winner for me on all points.  

Please pop over and join the fun.

The Fourth is Strong with this one

 Morning all.  It's Make My Monday time and, as it's May 4th - Star Wars Day - we would like 'Space' themed projects please.  I have a very ancient printable from Crafts-u-Print so I went with that for my card this week.

I suppose I could have made a couple of cards with all the space travellers on the printout but I decided to fill the whole card with them.  I'm pleased with how this one went.

Thanks for reading.

2 for 1

 Afternoon all.  As it's Friday and also the 1st May you get two blog cards for the price of one.  Firstly,  over at The Alphabet Challenge we start another turn around the letters with 'A for Air'. Basically, if it's airborne it works.  Being a bit poorly earlier this week I've gone simple with this butterfly card.

Next up, for the first of the month, we are looking for 'Gifts' over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge.  I still have loads of these toppers so it was an easy one to make.

Please join in the fun on one or both blogs.  You get a whole month for Sparkles Christmas challenge.

Thanks for reading.
