Let them eat Cake!! - SCSC Challenge

Hi all, sorry I haven't been round much lately. We are in the process of moving my crafting room from the log cabin into the house. We have a room in the house that we only use as storage but its the perfect size for a crafting hideaway.. Its in need of a bit of work like new windows, flooring and celling lol so will show you the progress in the following weeks. In the mean time my craft things are all over the place as I have been moving them back into the house.

Right onto the challenge over on Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and this week our theme is....

"Let them eat Cake" this weeks challenge has been chosen by the lovely and talented Andie..

Here's my card for the challenge. I have used one of the new Tilda's that I got in my stamp kit and one of my favourites the "muffins stamp". The gorgeous paper is from Melissa Frances range that I got from a craft show I went to last year. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Flowers as always coloured with copics.

Head on over to the challenge blog to check out the rest of the DT's projects and to enter into the challenge this week we are sponsor by

Crafters Companion and the lucky winner will receive a £10 gift voucher!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend....

Lemon & Lime Colour Challenge

Good morning all, well that's it I'm on holiday now whoop whoop!! I have got so many things planned I'm not sure I'm going to fit it all in.. Here's hoping for that big Lotto win!!!

So until then lets carry on...

We have a new challenge for you all over on

ALPHABET CHALLENGE

and this week its

L for Lemon & Lime

This was a new challenge for me as I don't think I have ever made a card with those colours before. The first thing it made me think of was Summer and those Lemon and Lime slush puppy drinks that you get at the seaside.. yummy!!

I treated myself to a few new goodies from Summer Crafting show in Doncaster the other week and one of the crafty items was one of the XL Go Kreate Dies..

This is such a lush die and can be used as a square or as I have in the diamond shape. Doesn't it make a fabbie easel card?

I went a bit OTT on the flowers but I just love these flowers from Wild Orchid just add glue and glitter and well perfect!

This was a great opportunity to use one of my Hanglar and Stanglar stamps that I brought ages ago and was yet to use. This one is from the beach kit. I coloured her in Lemon & Lime to fit in with the challenge. The beach huts are from Molly Blooms summer range, just love these background stamps!

The metal flowers also came from the Summer Crafting show from a stall called Sliver Orchid Beads. I have used one of them to attach a charm to..

This gorgeous fabric flower came from Wild Orchid and comes on a long strip. With plenty of flowers to use. I have added some German glass glitter using glossy accents.. You can just see the little seahorse poking his little snout out from the flowers.
