Good morning all,
Saturday again, and time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin'. This week our theme is a really easy one... Spots!
I chose some pretty spotty paper, and made this birthday card.
There's unicorns absolutely everywhere right now. Including my blog, it seems (keep your eyes peeled for another - pretty spectacular - unicorn in a few days!).
Now, I'm sure you all have some spotty things hidden away in your stash, so break them out and come and play with us!
Have a fantabulous weekend!

Balloons or bunting - Sweet Stampin'
Morning everyone,
Hopefully blogger will play nice and actually post my scheduled post this time, as at the time this is supposed to go live, we will be busy playing Tetris with our car to fit our daughter's stuff in as we pack her off to uni! It's gonna be so quiet around here! But we will miss her loads.
It's new challenge time at Sweet Stampin', and it's a fun one this week! We're looking for creations featuring Balloons or Bunting. (and stamping too, naturally!)
I had some trouble choosing, so I went with one of each!
I went for two completely different styles. My balloon card is a messy, inky, grungy fun card, and the bunting one - as you can see - lacy and girly and pretty pastel colours.
Loving the Polkadoodles stamp I used on the second card. I have a weakness for tea-themed stuff (and, of course, tea, lol), so this one was was absolutely coming home with me!
That's it from me, but my fellow Sweeties have some more lovely things waiting for you over on the blog.
Hope you'll come and play with us this week!
Have a fantabulous weekend!

September challenge - Rhedd's creative spirit
Hello again everyone,
My third post of today, and this time I'm here to let you know that there's a new challenge starting for September over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit.
This month, I have a mixed media journal cover to show you. And it's not just any journal cover. It's one I made under the expert tutelage of the fabulous Abs - better known as Autour de Mwa - at a recent workshop with Art Workshops.
This was so much fun to do! We started with the board journal blanks, and kept on layering and adding elements. I had a lot of fun working with colours I'd not often pick (I'm always a little scared of yellow!), and using elements and images I often see people incorporate but never do myself. It can be really freeing working outside your comfort zone, I think!
So to play along with us at Rhedd's this month, why not try something outside of your comfort zone? It can be so much fun, and you never know, you might discover something you absolutely love!
Have a fantabulous weekend!

September challenge - Altered eclectics
Hello all!
September already, and of course time for another challenge over at Altered Eclectics. This month I altered a small box with a seaside theme.
I used crackle medium to weather the paint, and turquoise sprays followed by brass mica spray for colour and shimmer. I absolutely adore the seahorse key. It is quite possibly one of my single most favourite craft items I've ever owned!
I hope you'll come and play with us this month!
Be right back with one more post for today!

Keeping it neutral - Sweet Stampin'
Morning all,
It's new challenge time at Sweet Stampin', and our theme this week is Keeping it neutral. So we'd love to see you use neutral colours on your creations.
I used my neutral colours, as well as a LotV stamp, to make a retirement card for my dad.
Apparently though, rather than relaxing, he's been kept extra busy by my mum with jobs around the B&B instead...
Your turn. we're looking forward to seeing what neutral creations you come up with.
I'll be back in an hour with a couple more posts, but until then, have a fantabulous day!
