Oh La La Creations - A Spring Walk

This is the first challenge from Oh La La Creations and it was named 'A Spring Walk'. It was set by Ann, a fellow forum member of the Joanna Sheen Forum so I just had to join in and made it by the skin of my teeth with less than half an hour to go to deadline - that's a challenge!!! The colours are beautiful and I hope I have done it justice.

My Time To Craft - Pockets

I've managed to combine My Time to Craft 'Pockets' with the Ismaki challenge of 'Sketch #21'. On this card I've used flowersoft which is lovely stuff to work with and so effective.

Tilda & Co - That's Torn It

I just love Tilda and this is my newest stamp. This week's challenge from Tilda & Co is 'Torn' so the wall she's sitting on has a torn top. I really love this stamp and have glittered her ribbon and trainers.

Cuddly Buddly ATC - Wee Wheezi

Never having done ATCs before I really enjoy the challenges from Cuddly Buddly. This one is called 'Wee Wheezi'. I've decoupaged him and tied a knot in his tail to remind whoever receives this ATC of me!

My Paper World

I'm sure here in Spain there are only 12 hours in the day - good excuse - no thought not! Anyway I'm trying valiantly to do all the challenges I want to but failing miserably. I have done this card for My Paper World 'Sketch #10', Tilda & Co 'Beads' and Daring Cardmakers 'Beady'. If I could manage to get a few more challenges done in an 'all together' card then I might eventually catch up with myself.

Tilda & Co - Black & White

I love making black and white cards so the Tilda & Co challenge this week of 'Black & White' was perfect for me.

Papertake - Lucious Limes and Lilac

Great, I'm managing to keep up with the challenges so far this week! This card I've made combines two challenges, Ismaki 'Sketch #19' and Papertake 'Lucious Limes & Lilac'. Unfortunately Tilda's top and pockets look blue on screen but in real life it is actually pale lilac. The layout was certainly different to any I have done before and was easy to do. It's true, the simple things are best.

Ismaki - Sketch #18

How many times do you have an idea in your head of how the card should look but it turns out differently? This card was made for the Ismaki 'Sketch #18'. I enjoy doing the sketch challenges cos it makes me think!

Cuddly Buddly ATC - One for the Lads

This is the very first challenge from Kim at Cuddly Buddly and it was 'One for the Lads'. I love these images and look forward to taking part in many more.

Rainbow Lady - Birds

I desperately wanted to enter Cynthia's Rainbow Lady challenge of 'Birds' but unfortunately, in all my stash, I could only come up with one little feathered friend which I've decoupaged. Why is it, no matter how much stuff you have, you never have exactly what you want?

Sunday Stampers - Cool for Cats

I am trying valiantly to catch up from last week and have again managed to combine two challenges. This time it's Sunday Stampers 'Cool for Cats' and Cute Card Thursday 'Gems & Jewels'. I didn't think I'd be able to do the Sunday Stampers challenge as I didn't think I'd a cat stamp but, lo and behold, look what I found in my stamp box!

Arty Girlz - 3D

Running a bit late this week but, better late than never! I've managed to combine this card with 2 challenges, Arty Girls '3D' and My Time to Craft 'Ribbons'. I hope you like my 3D as it's a favourite of mine at the moment - the twisted pyramid.

Tilda & Co - Decoupage

I just don't know where the time has gone. A whole week has gone by and I've not done one challenge, tut, tut. Hopefully I will be able to rectify that this week! Tilda & Co have set the challenge of 'Decoupage'. I have done the full image for the bottom layer, her jacket & wings for the second layer and lastly her hair. I've really enjoyed this one as I love decoupage.
