Anything Goes at Penny's Papercrafty Challenge this week

Hi again crafty friends

I'm back with my second post of the day (albeit rather late - sorry!)  It's been a lovely bright day today and we've just been making the most of it and believe it or not I've only just got the chance to sit down to write up my post.  Wednesdays are my day for looking after my Grandson Jacob and my DH was also around this afternoon so we just decided to go out for a walk to make the most of the sunshine.  So after a playing with playdough/ironing/catchup with the housework morning we went for a walk along the coast with Jacob and Glenn(our dog).   We walk a lot anyway but its so much nicer on a lovely sunny day.  We stopped off for a coffee and sat at a table outside then after a quick trip to the playground and park arrived back home just in time for Jacob to go home, probably a 5 or 6 mile round trip.  After making chilli and potato wedges for dinner I had a LBT class booked at the gym, then nipped into Tesco for some shopping on the way home had a shower and put my jim jams on and here we are 10:30pm!  - there's a lesson in how to lose a day - but in a nice way and I'm feeling nicely tired so I'll be off to bed after this!!

Anyway back to the real reason for my post

The fab sentiment stamps are the new Anna Griffin chalkboard sentiment stamps -I absolutely love these - they could be appearing on a few more cards around here! - I stamped them with a chalk ink in a kraft type colour to tone - I really like the effect.

Colour challenge at Moving Along With the times

Good morning all

Sorry this is late I started to write this before I went out this morning but half way through I got that stupid - its dead Jim message -  Java or something with a silly face to go with it - so had to leave it until I got back as I couldn't get it to load up again grrr...

We have a colour challenge for you at MAWTT this week and a chance for a GDT spot if you would like to join us MAWTT girls on 30th May or 6th June to show us your design skills.

I decided to use this really cute little girl called Eleanors Wishes from a designer I came across only very recently - I can't imagine how I haven't found these gorgeous digis before!!  The artist is called Heather Valentin and the name of her line is 

Lacey Sunshine

Check out her fabulous images here

I just saw that she has some more new digis out this week - I just love thses little cuties!



This is the colour inspiration for this challenge

I really struggled with this challenge - not because its difficult at all - just I couldn't find the papers that I wanted to use! I knew I had a pad of Prima meadowlark with colours just perfect for this card., i had used it just last week - could I find it!  So I end up using a "second best" and left it to photograph this morning - what was the first thing I found lying on my craft table.....Prima meadowlark paper pad - sometimes I worry about my self lol.

This is what I did...
