Spring!

One very every bright one from me as our challenge at IDIC this week is Spring! I've used this gorgeous image called Ollie Rainbow Bubble by Lexi Creations who is our sponsor this week.
I've chosen Forever friends spring papers, and coloured the flowers and Craftwork cards butterfly sentiment to match. The ribbon was used to tie up a gift bag with a mug in that I got for my birthday.

In with the OSAAT New

 In with the New at One Stitch At a Time this week led me back to the bears. They've been off on a picnic recentlybut now it's got a bit cold and damp they've come back in again! This cute little guy is by Lexi Creations and you can adopt him here . As usual we have fab work by the rest of the DT plus maybe a prize or two :c)

 The backing paper is MME True Blue (yes it is more of a turquoise) and although I love these papers I was a bit disappointed that there's not more blue in them. The stars a cut using a cuttlebug die from pearlescent silver and core'dinations cardstock as is the tag (another forgotten die) The sentiment is metal but as I received it from a friend on MSE I have no idea where it came from (thanks!)

Holiday Colour Mix up at IDIC

 We have a right challenge for you over at I Did It Creations for you this week. Use colours from a different season to create a Christmas project. Easy I thought I'll use Autumn or Fall colours. 3 attempts later and here's Can I go again Paulo by Lexi's Creations in all his autumn glory for some reason I just wasn't happy with my previous efforts lol!

An emergency order from Crafty Emmas store of the new MME paper pads finally came to my rescue. The postman was hardly out of the drive before I was cutting and sticking. I decided to decoupage him and the snow effect was done using a versamark card and some crystal embossing powder.

Rainbows at I Did it Creations

I Did It Creations Challenges has a very special challenge for you this week...We are challenging you to make a special "Rainbow Themed" card - Anything goes type of challenge, but must have a rainbow or the colors of a rainbow in your creation. The reason for this Rainbow challenge is in honor of a very special little guy named Cameron. If you click on the link below, you can read his story...

For the Love of Cameron


A little History and the reason for this Super Challenge this week...
A very very good friend of Stitchy's who is known in the digital world by the name "FUNKY" , has built a beautiful fundraiser blog for her grandson Cameron..He is autistic and Funky and her daughter are striving to help Cameron..
Some of you may know Funky, she has been in the digital scrapping world for a very long time. If you could find it in your heart to help Funky and her little guy out, it will not go unrewarded. We know times are very hard for everyone right now, so if you can't give even a dollar, please don't feel bad, but please do go and read his story, he's quite a character lol..Thank you in advance all that take part in this very special challenge - have fun & good luck!!!

For my special project this week I've used Lexi Creations image Ballerina Trio mounted on a CD it reminds me of the 3 Fossil sisters from Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield

Sparkles & Flowers

I could tell you that there's a DT call over on OSAAT but you all already know that coz' you're loyal followers lol! I've decided to apply to earn the images that Stitchy has so kindly been donating to a worthy cause aka me :c)
I do have to confess to buying some envelopes this week but this is a 6x6 card and wouldn't fit in anything I had already.
The card base is Blue-Lilac Core'dinations cardstock that I cut an aperture in with the second largest Peony nestie. The image is the gorgeous Sparkles and the butterflies are very tiny versions of Lexi Creations Butterfly digi coloured with Orchid Promarker with tiny pearls attached.

 I don't normally decorate the inside but then again I normally put my image on the front. The Papermania paper has been cut out with Nestie Labels Eight and added another flower 'coz it looked a bit bare.

 Close up of the flower detail - this is a new stamp (gasp!) but it doesn't count as stash as it was free with Cardmaking and Papercrafts magazine this month. I've heat embossed to make it easier for me to keep the promarkers between the lines. I wound the wire round a paint brush added a bead and stuck it down using the sticky pads that raise the flowers off the card. I bought the wire to make some jewellery ages ago - another one of my bright ideas at the time.

Easter Bunny's Recipe

Please note: This product is for decorative purposes only. Don't combine papercrafts and candles unless you have good house insurance and a thing about firemen!!!

Over at OSAAT this week it's a blog hop following the bunny to collect clues to a recipe and then make a card using 5 of them.
I just loved this image from Lexis Creations called Lillie with tulips that you can buy from Stitchy Stamps (unfortunately that knocked 2 from my recipe list :c))but it's so gorgeous I just had to use it.
I was then left with:
2 patterned papers - used the bit with the details on of the tulip paper so only know its from Crafty Island, the spotty bit is Daisy and Dandelion Some Bunny Loves You
Ribbon - from stash
Buttons & Beads - wired the 2 together
Just don't do glitter as it gets all over the cat so stamped bunnies onto the ribbon with stazon in the hope that I'm not cheating lol!
