Last of the bunnies!

Hi all

I'm here with my DT card for MTTC - a little bit late but I've been feeling sort of yukky since Thursday and just couldn't be bothered to sit down and finish it. I've got all sorts of commenting and visiting to catch up with - so I promise I'm on my way round to visit and catch up!  I'm still not feeling 100% but sometimes you've just got to get on with it and I think I've come to the end of any sympathy I'm getting at home

 - hmm that's men for you - I'll have my day!!

Anyway on to my card for today 

Over at My Time to Craft we have a cute challenge this week

Bunnies!

I have to admit to being a bit Bunnied out lately so I've decided this is the last for now!

This is a cute little image from LOTV, I actually got it for my birthday last year - its taken me a whole year to ink it up - better late than never!!  I decided to mount it up in several layers onto an 8x8 card.  The image of this stamp is really quite small but I think it worked quite well to add the extra layers.

This is what I did....

Have you got One for the Boys!

Good morning blog friends

Hope its nice and bright and sunny where you are.  Its a lovely morning here- nice and bright and very still - I haven't poked my nose out of the door yet so its probably freezing but its just nice that we don't have rain, snow or ice!  

Another nice thing about today is its my birthday and as I worked Tuesday instead of my normal Thursday I even get the day off.  Only thing is at the moment I'm sitting here with my cards and presents that my family left for me and up until now I haven't opened them - somehow it feels a bit sad to open them all by myself - think I'll wait until they all come home tonight lol.

Anyway today is not all about me - its also challenge day over at Delightful Challenges and we have  a day about someone else instead its 

All about the boys!

Our challeng this week is 

One for the boys

I decided to make a Easter card for my little grandson with this cute little image 

called Easter Derry available here from Digital Delights

Are you ready for The Birds and The Bees!

Good morning all

This is my second post for today with the challenge over at Moving along with the times this week.

I'm having a busy old hostess week this week as its also my turn to host this challenge

The theme is 

The Birds and the Bees!

That is any nature (birds, insects, animals or plants)

or 

A New Baby card

Here is my card for the challenge

The image is just so pretty 

Its one of the new release digis at Whimsy Stamps

by Stampart Design by Kathryne

its called Tulip Umbrella - available here

I love all kinds of colour combo - but I have to say my very favourite is pink and green and my favourite dies of the moment are those "Fabulous Phlox" from Memory Box.  I wanted these flowers to match the card exactly so I cut them all out of white card and coloured them with copics to match the colour of the flowers in the image.  This is my Mothers day card for my Mam - she likes to have flowers on cards - for some reason she has the idea that all of these images with children on - are for children!!

Anyway - this is what I did....

Image - Tulip Umbrella from Stampart Design by Kathryne

New release day at Delightful Challenges

Good morning all

I still can't quite believe that it's March! and its another new release of cute digis over at

 Digital Delights.

At Delightful Challenges we have some fab new digis to show you - all on a get well theme.

we have a great sponsor this week

I have used the cute Dr Dan available here

 also the On the mend accessories set  available here

 and the feel better sentiments available here

The minute I saw these images it took me back to my childhood when I used to get the Teddy Bear comic (I'm really showing my age here!) My favourite story use to be Dr David and Nurse Nancy - two children who had a toys hospital -I remember it so well! -There must be someone out there remembers the Teddy Bear!!

The cute image sentiment and accessories set go together so well to make a get well card - don't you just love that little sticking plaster (or band aid if you're in the US!)-I had to restrain myself from using them all over my card!!  i also remombered why i don't use mirri card too ofter - what a nightmare to photograph - the shine just gets everywhere lol.

This is what I did...

Image Dr Dan from Digital delights

Coloured with copics and prismacolour pencils

Sentiment from the Feel better sentiments set

Accessories from the On the mend accessories set

Blue gingham card and mirri card from my local card factory
