I used the image of the Scarecrow in this card


The DP is from my stash, and the background is Pretty Patterns by Gina K Designs. The sentiment is from my stash and the corn is a Spellbinders die - Cattails, the little heart is an EK Success Punch.

My next card uses the images of Dorothy, Toto & of course The Yellow Brick Road


The paw prints are form a set by Our Daily Bread and the flower is Shasta Daisy by Cheery Lynn, the idea for the smilie was from a card by the lovely Olga Moore, and when I saw it I just knew I would have to borrow that idea! Thank you Olga. The sentiment and DP is again from my stash.

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who came to see me in Chatham yesterday, it was a fun day and I loved talking to each of you. I would like to say an enormous thank you to Rita for her generosity donating sewing and craft items to the Creative Adults Group.

Ok so today we have 2 challenges starting, The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge and The Crafters Cafe.

I will start with the Outlawz, the theme this week is "Friendship"

The pretty ribbon is from my stash and the dies are Spellbinders Petite Ovals & Petite Scalloped Ovals. The sentiment is by Creative Expressions from the Amazing Sentiments set.

My second card uses the SLS Lines image - Dragonflies


The embossing folder is by Crafters Companion and is called Rain. The sentiment is by Personal Impressions - Message Set 1, and the leaves are dies by Dee's Distinctively - Philodendron 


Now over at The Crafters Cafe the theme this time is "Bling"

Outlawz Greetings Challenge

Happy Tuesday

I am a little late with this post mainly due to some minor surgery on my shoulder and a lot due to my lovely husband who thinks a holiday from work is a good time to clear out all the clutter, as he calls it, or all the treasures I have squirrelled away incase they come in handy one day, and as I am slightly out of action he thinks I won't be able to remove those treasures from his rubbish pile!

Ho hum and on with the cards :-)

This week over at The Outlawz Gretings challenge we are playing Tic Tac Toe 


Our lovely sponsors for this challenge are



My first card uses the Angie's image - Little Lila Bowling


I used one of the diagonal lines on the grid - Flowers, Image, Punch/Die Cut

I also used Spellbinders Petite Ovals small, Petite Scalloped Ovals large, Fancy Tags & Sentiments One

My second card uses the pre-coloured Dr Digi image - Blunder Woman


I used one of the diagonal lines on the grid - Red, Image, Stitching (faux)

I created the background with my Geli plate and used copy paper to mask off the stars, stripes and heart, this was based on a stencil I found a picture of on Pinterest, but the link was broken so I am unable to find who's stencil design it was. I added a Riley & Co sentiment and Gina K Designs In Stitches, the little gold stars are peel-offs and the big gold stars are made with a Woodware punch. I used my Scan N Cut to fussy cut the image.
