Em-bossing it!

 Afternoon all.  I'm just back from work and it's a glorious day here on the marina.  I have the duck hatch open and the fresh air streaming in.  It's one of those days when you feel energised to do something.  If you are looking for something to do then why not try our 'Embossing - wet or dry' challenge over at Cardz4galz.  Here is my inspiration card.

I've kept it clean and simple so the embossing gets to shine.

Please pop over and join the fun.

Thanks for reading.

Frosty the snowman

 Morning all.  Another late post from me.  I've been down with a migraine so here's yesterday's post.  We are looking for 'Snowmen/women' on your cards over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. They can be on there own or in a family group.  I dug out some old Hunkydory stuff for my card.

The image is so large it didn't leave room for much more.  I just added some holly in the corners and called it done.

Thanks for reading.

V for Volume

 OK, this is Friday's post...on a Friday! Get me being nearly organised.  Over at  The Alphabet Challenge we want 'v for volume' on your cards.  Think dimension and foam pads.  Basically, layers.  I dug through all my old decoupage sheets for this one.  I don't know why I'm holding onto them as I don't often do that anymore.  

All my butterflies are layered up.  The main one has three layers.  

Thanks for reading.

Just Checking

 Morning all.  I know it's Friday but this is Thursday's post. Time has run away with me this week.  So, for Cardz4galz this week we have 'things with wings' as our theme.  I've been itching to use this digital stamp for a while.  

The image is from Dr Digi's House of Stamps.  I'm quite pleased with how he turned out.

Monochrome adventure.

 Morning all.  Over at Cardz4guyz this month we have the theme of 'a monochromatic colour pallette'.  I have, once again, gone to my Stamperia papers as they just work so well for this.

It's been so much fun using these papers recently.  They fit in so beautifully with the themes.

Thanks for reading.

Vintage - just like me!

 I'm not old, I'm vintage. To be fair, I might even pass as retro until next birthday.  Over at Sparkles Monthly Challenge we are looking for 'Vintage or Mixed Media' projects please.  I did try mixed media but it's a style I really can't do well. Instead I went with some lovely papers from Stamperia.  They are so beautifully vintage.

I distressed the edges and used a little distress ink. I then added a couple of ephemera pieces to finish it off.  I am much happier with the result for this one.  I'm never gonna be a mixed media gal.

Thanks for reading.

A challenge to die for

 Morning all.  I've got my weeks mixed up so here is yesterday's Make My Monday card.  We have the theme of 'use two dies' which is right up my street.

I, technically, used more than two dies as the circles are a set. Then I used the banner to finish it off.  I'm pleased with this one.  I think it would do for either male or female.  

Thanks for reading.
