Allsorts challenge 41

This week at Allsorts the challenge is set by Emma and she chose to make a card/gift for Mother's Day or for someone who is like a mum to you.

We have a new Sponsor My Favourite things. They are offering the winner a $15 voucher to spend in the store.

The design team were supposed to use things from the sponsor but I'm a newbie so I totally missed that... sorry :(

Anyway, I made a chocolate bar wrapping for mum.

Simon says vintage

Vintage with flowers - what a fantastic theme this week at Simon says challenge!!!

I have made a card for a collegue at work who had a baby daughter yesterday (I love the fact that I actually had an old bookpage with February 25 - the birth date). I also adore the Coco bear from Digi stamp boutique.



Inside says: Welcome little you (I have no idea what happened to the light in this picture)

I made the Sugar Nellie Tuesday Spotlight!

Featured on Sugar Nellie Tuesday Spotlight! What can I say... it's... Wow! It just blows me away!!

I have a lemonade recipe that is so swift and easy and the family loves it so I made a recipe card for it to make sure it's not forgotten or lost ;).

Computer generated sentiment and distress ink (mustard seed) all over the place. The ornament thingies are actually made with a corner punch, a little work but I think it's well worth it :)



I'm entering ABC challenge - O is for one paper and A Spoon full of Sugar - use distress inks, glitter and pearls.

DCD challenge

This weeks challenge theme at Die Cut Dreams is a nice easy one for you its

EASTER

The Prize this week is two packs of these fabulous easter stickers

I made a bottle tag and used my all time favourite stamp - that I actually don't own so I have to rely on a quickly diminishing stock of stamped images :(
Painted and distressed with Antique Linen. The eggs and the Easter signs (masked from a bigger stamp) is a gift from the amazing Vikki *hugs*.




This one works for A spoon full of Sugar and Stamp something too since they have Spring as their theme. And for Bizzy Becs Creatalicious challenge that has A little something.

Allsorts DT

So what is the challenge at Allsorts this week .. .. .. ... well we would like to see one of the following on your creation:

A tag, a ticket or a label

The winner this week will get 3 free stamps of choice from:



Unfortunately I didn't have one of the images to use but I did make a project with a tag on:





A gable box I found the template for on the net somewhere (way back, can't remember from where unfortunately) and with the gorgeous little Swiss pixie image that is such a delight to colour.

You all have a nice evening now.

Friday sketch

I embossed some vintage swirls (new toy, new toy) on the DCVW backing paper. Added paper from MME and tilted over the sketch from Friday sketchers. The oval on the sketch was probably thought for a sentiment but it didn't specifically say so I put the image there - naughty me ;)
The flowers are white but I distressed them with tattered rose to match the papers.

Whiff of Joy has pearls and swirls this week

A spoon full of Sugar has spring and so do Stamp Something.

SFTW sketch

Morning,

it's time for another challenge at Stampin for the Weekend and Di has made an awesome sketch for you to follow. She is also giving five of her fantastic digi images to the winner of this challenge.

I made a card using a Motivet image, paper from K&Co, flowers from Kort og Godt and loads of distressing.

Vintage powder!

Today I have been very productive - but I can't show you any of it since it's all DT work =)

But then I went to my local craft store and treated myself to some new punches and just HAD to try them...

And...

You know when you buy something on a whim, it's like it slips into your basket by mistake and then you find that it's the one thing you just can't be without ever again? Well, I just found that today. Reprint's vintage embossing powder. Not brown but almost, not gold but almost, not transparent but almost. And 100 % heaven!!


So I made this card using Charizma Cards sketch. I used my Hänglar image, Wild Asparagus papers, my new MS punch and embossed swirls with... you guessed it ;)

I'm also adding it to A spoon full of sugar - theme Spring - cause these are the colours here when the snow start to melt ;)

And to Cute Card Thursday - theme metal - with my flower centre.

And this evening I went to see the Princess and the Frog with my youngest. If you haven't seen it yet - do! The music is awesome!! Don't have kids? Grab a neighbour's!
