A New Challenge at Songbird

Good Morning friends.

Hope you are all well.
I have have just bought a new laptop and I don't know if I am having teething problems with the computer or if Blogger is playing up. When I try to publish comments on your blogs some are publishing but some, where you usually see awaiting moderation, are not showing the message so I don't know if you are receiving my messages. Also I have to physically go into blogger to edit as the pencil has disappeared at the bottom of my posts. I think somehow my settings must have been altered. Has anyone had this same problem as it is driving me nuts.

We have a new challenge starting today at Songbirds.

The challenge is being sponsored by SK digis and the theme is Ribbons.  They have some lovely images and well worth a visit.

I have used an image called Dandelion Hearts.

The papers are a digi download from Craftwork cards - well worth taking a look they have some gorgeous papers. The ribbon is no longer available from The Pretty Little Ribbon shop as it is closed. I am on a mission to find another on line store which sells this colour  ribbon in the crinkle effect. 

The flowers are from Lili of the Valley, Live and Love Crafts and The Hobby House. The image and the spellbinder die has been coloured with a distress marker - Victorian Velvet.

The image has Frantage surrounding it and I have used a metal corner embellishment and pearls to finish the embellishments.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

A new challenge at Besties

Morning blogger Friends.

Did you watch the tennis.- what a match. Well done Andy. And what lovely weather we are having - long may it continue.

.

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Besties. The theme for this week is flourishes.
As well as our regular challenge there is a month long challenge with a Besties of Oz theme where a lucky winner will win $100.

For the flourishes challenge I have used the adorable image 699. I have now linked all the information of the products I have used at the end of this post.

She has been coloured in using Copic Markers for her clothes and Spectrum Noirs for her hair.

The papers are a digital download from Whimsy Stamps.

The heart dies are by Memory Box and pearls on the scalloped edge I cut from string pearls. The curved border is a Spellbinders die. The Butterflies at the top are from a Tim Holtz die.

The flowers are from WOC and Live and Love Crafts.

The sentiment is from LOTV and the flourish is a Cheery Lynn die.

Thank you all for stopping by and I will catch up with you all this evening.

On Top Of The World

Evening friends.

I have re written this post now three times. I have been wanting to add thumbnails at the bottom of my posts with the the products list. I did this Saturday Evening and lost my post. I created a new post with the thumbnails but they have appeared at the top. I had a sleepless night wondering how to insert them at the end and I have just realised how to do it. Clear as mud when you know how!!! I am leaving them at the top for this post. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges

I MUST APOLOGISE IF I HAVE ENTERED A CHALLENGE AND I HAVE NOT MENTIONED YOU BELOW. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY POST AND ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT. I HAD TO WRITE THE POST AGAIN BUT I CANT REMEMBER WHICH CHALLENGES I ENTERED.

A challenge over at Dream Valley

Morning friends

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. 

I would first like to thank all my new followers. I have quite a few new faces on Bloglovin as well as Reader and will look forward to visiting you  all to say hello this weekend. 

Today see as new challenge at Dream Valley and the theme is to make your own flowers embellishments. We are being sponsored by Mulberry Crafts UK and the lucky winner of the challenge will receive a goody bag. Please have a look at the DT's work and add your creation to Mr Linky.

I have used my new Magnolia stamp Honey Tilda which I have wanted for ages - so so cute.

She has been coloured using Distress Markers and has had Diamond Sparkles added to her wings.  The papers are from Pion.

The butterfly border is Butterflight from Tim Holtz and overlayed with a Punch All Over the Page punch from Martha Stewart. The sunflower is from WOC and the rolled flowers (which seem to be hiding on this photo) are made using a die from Marianne Creatables English Rose. I have also added buttons amongst the flowers and on the lace bow which I have covered with Shabby White Frantage.

The bow I made from some lace in my stash. The Sentiment is from LOTV.  The pearl beading is from The Hobby House.

A new challenge at Diva's by Design.

Good morning friends.

Today I am back to tell you of the new challenge at Diva's by Design. We are being sponsored by Craftie Charlie and the theme for this challenge is Pretty Pearls. They have lots of gorgeous crafty goodies so well worth entering this fabulous challenge. The DT have some gorgeous cards and it would be  lovely if you could take a look.

I have used a Gorjuss Girl stamp called - I Love You Little Rabbit.

Isn't she just the cutest. She has been coloured with distress markers. The papers are Pion Design.

The ribbon is from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop which is unfortunately closing and they no longer have it in stock. The large sun flower is from WOC. The rolled flowers are from a Marianne Creatables English Rose Die 

The doily die is a Tim Holtz On The Edge die. The butterfly I have layered twice using a Martha Stewart Punch all over the Page Punch. The sentiment is computer generated.  The pearl string is from The Hobby House. This was from a collection of cream and white  pearl strings and they are gorgeous.

The corner die is by Nellie Snellon. The love wording is from a Magnolia Tilda stamp which I stamped onto a punch heart. As you can see I have been Frantaging most of the card again. I so love this effect.
