Just For Fun - EASTER!

Hello fellow bloggers, crafters and friends. I hope you are all enjoying the school holidays lol 

It's time for the mid-month inspiration for Just For Fun Challenge Blog.

This months theme is 'EASTER'. Think eggs, chocolate, cute fluffy animals, beautiful seasonal flowers etc..... Nice bright and colourful makes to cheer everyone up....

Here is what I made....

I love the colours of this card as they are cheerful without being too bright. 

I hope you will pop over to the Just For Fun Challenge Blog and join in with the EASTER themed challenge.... http://laineyscraftyspace-justforfun.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/easter.html

Giggle Makes

Welcome Lovelies

Today see's the first post in such a long time that has nothing what so ever to do with a Design Team YAY

These cards were made for the One Word Wonder Challenges in my facebook group

  Mad Crafters Giggles

We have a daily One Word Wonder Challenge and then a weekly Colour Challenge. 

We also make and share tutorials, handy hints etc.

The first theme was 'TIME' and this is what I came up with

The topper, greating and border strip are from a kanban topper sheet. The backing paper is a pearlised card that I embossed in a Tim Holtz clock embossing folder. 

I finished the card off with a metal clock charm and some card candi. 

The second theme was 'SEWING' and this is what I came up with

The topper is a decoupaged one, which I have to admin was blooming fiddly lol. The backing paper is from a pad from the same kit. I punched out the leaves with a woodware punch and glued them around the topper. I used white pen to add faux stitching around the topper and the paper backing. 

I hope you like the card. I love my Design Team makes, and I do enjoy making the darker cards BUT its not what i'm all about. I love ALL types of styles and I love making normal fun cards. 

Thank you so much for your visits, and I hope you continue to support me and be my blogging buddies :D 

SeemaCrafts Challenge Blog

Welcome fellow Bloggers, Crafters and most importantly, Friends...

 

 

 

First of all, I would like to apologise for not posting this at the start of the Challenge (1st November). I was stuck with no broadband for a day and a half, and my 3G was not good enough to get me onto the blogging page. The downside to living in the country, you have rubbish broadband!!!

 

 

On the 1st of each month, SeemaCrafts starts a new Challenge over on their Challenge Blog

This months Challenge is something nice and easy and would cheer anyone up....

Bright and Colourful

I don't know about you, but at this time of year I get a bit tired of Christmas cards, so this Challenge gave me chance to make something different....

 

Unfortunately, quite a few of our Design Team are down with illness, so were unable to take part in the Challenge. Due to this, I stepped up and made three Design Team pieces to hopefully give people lots of inspiration.

 

Here is what I made....

 

 

I had amazing fun making these, and used colours that I wouldn't usually use.

 

I got messy with inks, pens, distressing tools...and used many embossing folders that I haven't gotten around to using.

 

 

I hope these cards give you a little bit of inspiration and inspire you to pop along to SeemaCrafts Challenge Blog and join in with the fun.....Its time to let your hair down and get out those colours you always want to use, but are too scared too lol
