Totally Gorjuss 120 - Yummy.

Good morning everyone, Saturday again and time for another challenge at Totally Gorjuss. At least I hope you can see this on Saturday morning since I'm away till Sunday and trusting kind Mr Blogger to post this for me. This week I'm looking forward to seeing how you interpret our challenge which is "yummy." We're sponsored by Craftwork Cards and if that doesn't make you want to join us I don't know what would lol!

At first I couldn't think of anything in my stash that would fit the challenge. Then I remembered that I had some LOTV diecuts. And there it was the perfect image! Aren't these bunnies cute and don't those cakes look yummy?

I used :-

Image :- LOTV diecut.

DP :- First Edition.

Heart and flowers :- Martha Stewart punches.

Pearls :- Hobby House.

Ribbon, pins and Glamour Dust.

Challenges for this card :-

Lili's Little Fairies :- Afternoon Tea.

I should be in Glasgow now for a weekend break after spending Friday night with my daughter and family in Crieff. Catriona says Poppy was looking forward to Gran and Grampa coming for a sleepover! She seems to be obsessed with sleepovers!

Thanks for looking and I'll try to catch up with everyone on Monday.

Less is More 55 Punches or Diecuts.

Butterflies :- Martha Stewart punches.

Gems.

Well I'd best go and try to do something useful since I'm going away for the weekend tomorrow night after work.

Less is More 54 - Stripes.

Hi everyone me again. I've been trying and trying to think what I could do for this weeks challenge at Less is More which is a one layer card with stripes. Then I found this little bird image and thought maybe I could use it to make a simple card. Well actually as you can see I made 3!

I used :-

Image & sentiment :- Hero Arts inked with Distress Inks.

I'd best go and see if I can get on with my DT card for Saturday. And see what the dogs are up too. It's very quiet so maybe they're sleeping!

Winners of Whiff of Joy Candy.

Hi everyone. Well as promised I'm back with the winners of the Whiff of Joy candy. It wasn't difficult as there weren't many of you who wanted it. So here are the lucky people.

Numbers 3, 8 & 10. So if Bettina L, MagsB and Trish at Time to share email me with their details I'll get the stamps posted out to them ASAP.

Thanks for joining in and I'll post some more candy soon.

Anyone fancy some Whiff of Joy Stamps?

I've got some Whiff of Joy stamps looking for a new home. Some have been lightly used but some have never seen ink at all. I have female and male ones, Christmas ones, sentiments, animals, swirls. Just leave me a comment if you're a follower. I'll choose more than one winner next Thursday, 16th February after 1pm.

Less is More 53 Aqua.

Just a quick post with my entry for the Less is Morechallenge. I had various ideas but the ink pad I decided to use stamped very faintly whatever I did. So I decided to try something else. I used a Memory Box die to cut out an aqua butterfly. The backing is made using the "in stitches" embossing folder from Craft Concepts and edged with cool aqua Promarker.

I'm off out tonight so I'll have to try to catch up later. Last night was my WRI meeting and a member of another local WRI and her Mum came along and did scrapbooking with us. We all went home with something and all quite chuffed with ourselves.

Thanks for looking.
