Creative Moments Challenge

Happy Monday

Firstly on a personal note, with all the sadness in the world today, yesterday I was reminded that I have such a wonderful family and I am blessed, I have my children, wether I gave birth to them or not, who I love dearly and equally, the woman I call sister, even though we share no blood relation and the extended family from that, grand children, nephews, nieces and God children. Finally what a wonderful man I have the privilege of calling my husband.
So in these uncertain times, I am reminded to count my blessings and I hope you will do the same, I wish you all a safe and crafty time in the weeks ahead.

Ok on to the crafty bit

This time over at Creative Moments it is a straight anything goes and our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is


I am using the image - Brat School - World Globe


I coloured the sweet image with my Copic's. 
The sentiment is from a LF set called Out of this World. DP from my stash. The round dies are classic Spellbinders and the sentiment is cut with some pierced rectangle's.


Keep safe and thank you for dropping by

Crafters Cafe Challenge 237

Happy Monday

This time over at The Crafters Cafe Challenge it is a straight "Anything Goes"

We have two wonderful sponsors for this challenge


Scribbles Designs


My first Card uses the Dr-Digi image Well Earned Rest


I used a brick stencil for the background and trimmed it with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Scalloped Edges, to create the impression of roof tiles. I coloured the image with Copic's and used MFT's A2 Rectangle Frames to cut it out and create the window frame. The curtains are MFT's Take the Stage. The sentiment's are also MFT's - Essential Sentiments and cut out with their Word Window dies.



Thanks for stopping by

613 Avenue Create

Happy Sunday

This time over at 613 Avenue Create, the optional twist is colour with pencils.
Now I will admit to having more than a few pencils, mainly due to being able to purchase a job lot of crafty goodies, when a friend's health meant she no longer enjoyed crafting. Now owning a nice selection of pencils, does not necessarily mean you use them very often, so I had to rise to the challenge. What I will say is it took me a lot longer to colour than if I had used my markers, but I am pleased with my first real attempt.

I used the Viking stamp set, I think may be retired, by MFT


For the background I used MFT's Sun-ray stencil and distress inks, I also added a shadow to ground him, this is cut using MFT's Oval Shadows dies. I added some tufts of grass in pencil.
I then cut the background and frame with MFT's Stacks dies. The DP is from my scraps.
