Happy Easter Tilda Style ~ Creative Belli challenge # 115

Welcome to other challenge over on 

Creative Belli Challenge Blog

This week its Challenge # 115 and the theme is...

Eggs/Bunnies.

I would also like to extend a fair well to Holly and Chris they are leaving the team to head on to pastures new.  They started Creative Belli way back in 2008 wanting to use up all their old and forgotten crafting items.  So Creative Belli was formed! Holly and Chris have managed to find a very talented lady 

Leah Corneilus who has agreed to take over the blog.  Leah is the owner of 

"Heart Song Designs Digital Images"

We have a few exciting changes to come in the following weeks.  One of them being a few prizes up for grabs so stay tuned for more information to come..

  Welcome Leah hope you have as much fun as we do designing for Creative Belli

Onto my sample card for this fortnights challenge.  

I brought one of the Martha Stewart Punch around the page sets last month.  I had lost the instructions of how to use it.  So I looked at the corner punch and noticed the sliver marks at the side.  "Arr" I said to myself "you must have to line up the edge of the paper to them"  Needless to say it didn't work out and I ended up with punches and holes in places I didn't want them.  So about a week later after having numerous failed attempts I decided to look on the net for instructions.  It was only then that I discovered that the corner punch has wings!   What a plonker!!!...  lol.

Stitching, Pins and Buttons Oh My!!! Creative Belli Challenge # 114

Morning!  I woke up this morning and thought it was Thursday!  Wishful thinking on my part I think.! I did have a brilliant day yesterday at work, the children got to make Mothers day cards and some of the sentiments that they wrote were so sweet.  The girls were along the lines of "To my Princess Mummy" from your Princess Daughter..  Just so sweet.  Anyway enough of my rambling.  

  Its time for our fortnightly challenge over on

 Creative Belli 

and the theme for this fortnight is......

Seamstress 

Anything to do with sowing (stitching, buttons, pins etc).  The challenge will run from today until Wednesday 13th April. 

This is another stamp  I've had for a while and just haven't had the time to ink it up.  I have fallen in love with these cute little stamps from Hanglar and Stanglar.  She looks so good in shades of brown.  So pleased at the end result and even tried my hand at shading around my image, this I also find difficult as I find it always looks messy.  Its Mothers Day here in the UK on Sunday and I made this with my Mum in mind.
