Masculine card at Make My Monday


 






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 Wei  has chosen "Masculine" as the theme for our challenge.

This birthday card is for my hubby to remind him of all the work we had a few years ago when we bought 2 lorry loads of timber from the Forestry Commission, you can see how high the logs were in comparison to the ladder, it took us several months to prepare it for the wood burners, but it was well worth it. We still have enough logs for 3-4 years.                                                                                         

I used a pic I took for the card and added a greeting from the Desert Diva.

Sweet Treat

 



A simple Christmas gift tag using part of a Lili of the Valley Simply Print, matted onto gold mirri card then Kraft. We have 4 feeding stations for birds in the garden and put out about 12 fat balls and 2-3 feeders every day I love seeing the birds feed. Unusually we have 2 pairs of robins visit, I think they nested and reared their chicks in a large cotoneaster bed or in the ivy near the burn that runs alongside the garden.



Thank you for popping in today I appreciate your time and would love it if you left a comment.

N at the Alphabet Challenge













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

This fortnight at MMM, Debbie would like to see cards where navy is the dominant colour. I look forward to seeing your makes.

I actually found this very challenging as navy is not a colour I favour, in the end though I used it for  a large die cut  backing for some foamarin flowers  with white die cut  sentiment.

Halloween at the Crafty Calendar Challenge


 


Welcome all friends and followers, the new challenge starting at The Crafty Calendar is sponsored by Oddball Art and is "Halloween". 



I used Pumpkin Stack and Zombie Bat to make tags for  sweet boxes, paper piecing the bat and colouring the pumpkins with Promarkers with the  background paper from  Summer Driggs Halloween Collection. The spider is a sizzix die, I added this as I thought the pumpkins looked frightened. 

Please pop over to the Challenge to see the Design Team cards  and then join in. Many thanks for visiting and continuing to leave comments I really appreciate the time you take to do this. Welcome also to Doreen my latest follower.

Thank you to you all for wishing me a speedy recovery from my back problems, I have managed to find a regime of exercises that are keeping the pain under control as long as I don't sit for too long, it's still a nuisance if I am visiting my sons as the journey is about 1.1/2 hrs each way.
