Bunnies everywhere it would seem!

 Morning blogland

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week it's my lovely Teamie Marlene who set a theme of 'dies and/or punches'.

Our sponsor for this week is RAM Stamps and there is a great randomly drawn prize on offer for one lucky winner.  We also have a Top 5 selection to make as well - but you do have to be in it to win it!  So, the rules, you must follow the theme, use your markers (any brand) and no backlinking. I also know that I 99.9% of the time make a card - you don't have to!

And, coincidently, talking of cards!  Here's one I made for this challenge, with an image from RAM Stamps that the DT were very kindly supplied with 😀

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

RAM Stamps - Bunny & Guinea: Balloon

coloured with my Copics

Dies used:

un-branded stitched rectangles

Time for Tea Designs - Cloud die Set

Creative Expressions - Craft Dies by Sue Wilson (sentiment)

Anything else:

Papers - artstudio : Candy Marble 12x12 patterned paper

And that's it, I believe! 😀

It's busy at home at the moment, TTT has come home from Uni for the Easter break and crafting time has shrunk by about the equivalent amount! I was even roped into playing a game on her Oculus VR headset last night, conducting an orchestra - who knew and so weird.  I ended up getting a 'jump scare' from a skeleton in the audience of the game and - in real life - thumping my hand into her wardrobe!! Oh what fun late teens games are. 😕

Looking forward to seeing all your entries.

Now it's hoppity, hop, hop, hop!

 Morning blogland,

There's a new challenge started today over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge blog and this fortnight the theme is 'Spring or Easter creations'.  

As always this is a 'for fun' challenge, so no prizes on offer, other than the kudos of being picked as a Top 3, but we do have a few simple rules.  Those being - you must use a stamp (digital or rubber), follow the theme and no backlinking.

So what did I make?

Supplies used:

Digital Stamp:

Polkadoodles - Eggcited Chick

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamps:

Catherine Pooler - All around wishes

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangles set

MFT - Fishtail Foundations

Pretty Pink Posh - Scallop Borders 1

Paper:

First Edition 6x6 paper pack - Hideaway

Anything else:

Basic Grey - micro-chip stickers

I will confess that this card was not an easy make - the image / colouring / layout - all fine.  Until it came to the word Easter.  I have no Easter themed stamps (digis yes, but nothing that would fit the space or my design) so I went for a die-cut alphabet to make the word Easter.  Biiiig mistake! Suffice it to say - there is a banner with stickers that spell out Easter because of those die-cut letters. 

If I hadn't spent quite so long colouring the image - the whole thing would have gone in the bin!  With a complete do-over commenced to replace.  But I had spent quite a long time colouring, so it was saved an ignominious end in the bin.

Anyways, moving on - hope everyone is good and see you for the next challenge,

Sarah

challenge/s:

Flowers everywhere

 almost - anyway!

Morning blogland,

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week our Teamie Marie has her pick of theme and she's chosen 'make it bloom'.  So for this week we'd love to see your creations with flowers - in the image, on the paper, embellishments - everywhere or where ever you like, just as long as there are flowers some where on your project.

We are sponsored this week by the always super cute All Dressed Up Stamps and, as always, there is a lovely prize for one lucky winner from our sponsor and Top 5 badges on offer as well.  Although please do make sure you keep to the rules - use your makers, follow the theme and don't backlink - to be in with a chance at the prize.

So my card:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

All Dressed Up - Potted Plants

coloured with my Copics

Dies:

un-branded stitched rectangle set

My Favorite Things - Big Hugs Circle Frame

Creative Craft Products - Nestables Circles set

Anything else:

Scraps of wrapping paper for the shaker background

some linen effect light card

sparkly things for shaker 'sprinkles'

I'm not 100% sure why I've made a few shaker cards lately - probably because I'm short on time and haven't cleared my desk since the first shaker card.  I keep using bits that I have lying about on my desk! Once I have a little more 'me' time I will no doubt clear my desk and move on from shakers. For now though it's fun.

Anyways, there you go.  And I'm looking forward to seeing all the flowery entries.

See you soon,

Sarah
