Don't know where the time goes, it's already time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time the the challenge is to "Add some text"  we welcome all kinds of mediums as long as it follows the challenge theme but in this challenge we would like to see more text than a small greeting.  For my card I have used old and new to me stamps, the background stamp is by Studio Light and although I bought it last year its the first time I've used it, think its going to be a very useful background stamp.The topper is a very, very old Imagination crafts stamp. 

In The Garden

 Its time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time its " In the Garden"  and medium is acceptable as long as follows the challenge theme.

My card should maybe be called in the garden shed but I do have lots of flowers also on the background paper.  I found the image already stamped in one of  my files and I'm pretty sure its a Stamps Happen one but now I can't find the stamp.  I had a big clear out of craft stuff a few weeks ago and now I've a horrible feeling it went then along with another Stamps Happen one I can't find, thats the problem, I have a ruthless clear out and then can't remember what went and wish I hadn't got rid of them !too late now !

Things wth wings

Time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time we would like to see " Things with wings "

For my card I have used a collage card from Woodware on an distress ink background, I have restamped and coloured the bird and butterflies and three D'd them and also the words. 

 

Spring Fling

 Well its a long time since I did a post, a lot has been happening in our lives and crafting has had to take a back seat, just got a little spare time at the moment and managed to make a couple of cards.  Its time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time its " Spring Fling"  . My garden is bursting into life, the snowdrops are starting to go over as are the crocus but lots of daffodils and primroses out now, Camelia in full bloom despite all the frosts and buds on the crab apple tree that look like will be lots of blossom soon

Lots of inspiration over on the challenge blog and I hope you will pay the team a visit.

Santa Claus is coming to town

 Time for another challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this time its " Santa Claus is coming to town".  I had spent ages searching for my Santa Stamp and couldnt find it but I did come across some pre stamped and coloured toppers so thats what Ive used on my card, just added the number, bit of ribbon and sentiment and the Christmas paper in the background.  The design team have lots of inspiration for you over on the challenge site so I hope you will pay them a visit.

After I'd finished this card I had one of those lightbulb moments and remembered the stamp was a Stampendous one and there it was in the drawer with all my other stampendous stamps.

In The Garden

 It's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time the challenge theme is "In The Garden"

For my DT piece I've done another page for my  7x7 journal, inked and stamped background and then bits and pieces from my stash of saved " junk"  the main picture is from some Liz Earl packaging, the flower pictures and word were salvaged from my neighbour's recyling box and were from flower delivery packing which she received every month( lucky lady!)no idea where the watering can bit came from. I had spent the afternoon altering a pair of trousers for my husband so while the machine was out I finished the page of with some stitching.
