Anything BUT a card


Hello again, thanks for your visit.
Today we start a new challenge at Make My Monday.
Amy has chosen for the challenge
Anything BUT a card
Please pop over to check out the creations from the DT,
it would be a shame to miss them.
I have had this small chest of 3 drawers for a long time, 
I knew I wanted to paint/deorate it but didn't know until recently
what I wanted to do. All edges are painted with an orange acrylic paint. 
The papers I used are by Graphic 45 -Rare Oddities paper pad.
I adore Graphic 45 and Halloween so they are a perfect combination. 
Thanks for popping by.

Favourite Flower and Why


Hello, at long last it appears as thought my chest condition has 
resolved and I can now function in a comfortable fashion. Health issues have
been a concern for the past two months,  so pleased to be back crafting
and blogging.
Today we begin a new challenge at  Cardz 4 Galz, Ina G our DT member
in Australia has chosen for us
Favourite Flower and Why? Yes you must tell us why you chose
your particular favourite flower. 
Please take a look at the blog, it seems that Roses are the most
popular choice of the DT, though there are others. 
For my card. I used a background paper from my paper stash.
The stamp I used is a Bluebell from Chocolate Baroque. 
Coloured with Promarkers.
The reason I chose the bluebell, is I love to see them in the pathways
and wooded areas, they smell so lovely and fresh. For me they are the first 
signs of the beginning of Spring. 
I look forward to seeing which flower you have chosen.

P is for Pumpkins


Hello again, thanks for your visit. Today at
Alphabet Challenges we have reached the letter P.
Tammy on the DT has chosen for this letter...
Pumpkins.
Please pop over to check out the DT's creations.
I have used the usual Orange and Black background to
display my design.
The pumpkins and the scarecrow are free digi stamps I found 
on Pinterest. I coloured them all with Promarkers and pencils.
Rather than make it a Halloween card, I thought it was just as
nice to say Happy Autumn - sending this message to you all.
