Criss Cross Card at MMM







Welcome to all followers and visitors, many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this.

 Today at Make My Monday,Cindy  has chosen "a criss cross card " for our challenge. You can find a tutorial here.

 I used an image and card-stock from a Hunkydory kit that I've had unopened for ages.   I'm sure lots of us have neglected items in our stash.


 Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

Sunflowers


 



Welcome to all followers and visitors, many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this.

Many of you will have seen posts from Pauline and Jules featuring clocks and butterflies, I knew I had several clock images from Far Far Hill (free papers and images ) so decided to have a go using those instead of buying more stash, just adding a butterfly from a collection from Polkadoodles, Belle Papillon.

I kept it really simple using only the clock and butterfly, I love the vintage feel to this card.

K at the Alphabet Challenge











Welcome all friends and followers thank you for taking the time to pop in and leave a comment.

This fortnight at the Alphabet Challenge Helen has asked us to use "Kraft card or paper " I  have seen lots of cards with the image stamped/printed directly onto Kraft card  then coloured with watercolour pencils, so thought I would give it a go. My first card had a lot of white,  I would have been better choosing another image with much less white. My second attempt was a little better but I don't think this style of card is for me. I look forward to seeing your makes.

Are We There Yet

 





A card to remind my sons of how often they said "Are we there yet" I'm sure all parents travelling with youngsters used to get fed up hearing that question. Now as adults the eldest is blase about long distance travel and doesn't care how long it takes to get to his holiday destination.

All elements from Pixel Scrapper.

Thanks for popping in today I appreciate the time you take to leave a comment.

A Partridge In A Pear Tree









Welcome to all friends and followers thank you for taking the time to pop in and leave a comment.

My beautiful image is from Power Poppy, coloured with Promarkers and kept flat for posting. I made this card at the same time as my previous one with this image as I had printed the image several times and really liked die cutting the central section out, I will make another using the whole digital image.

A gift tag for a special gift this Christmas.We always give our sons a fun gift and as our younger son is a Winnie the Pooh fan, we have a Jim Shore Christmas Winnie the Pooh and Friends ornament for him.
