Button it Up at Joanna Sheen

Good Morning Everyone, 
We have a brand new challenge starting on the Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog and this time the theme is.....
                                          BUTTON IT UP
I've used the gorgeous decoupage from the Jayne Netley Mayhew Decoupage - Spring Collection.

I've used a Marianne Creatables Button flower die, A Marianne ivy die and a Spellbinders edgeablility die. 

Now, if you check out all the work of my brilliant teammates, you will see that they all managed to use real buttons on their projects.  The last time I saw my jar of buttons, Emma was using them to help with some Maths homework..then she hoarded them...I can't find them anywhere! Rather than get stressed out I used a Marianne die instead!
Don't forget there's a fabulous £15 voucher for the Joanna Sheen website for the winner, so well worth entering.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog today and for all your lovely comments. Enjoy the rest of the weekend

Spring into Spring at Joanna Sheen

Good Morning Everyone, 
It's time for a new challenge at Joanna Sheen today. The theme this fortnight is....
                              SPRING INTO SPRING
There's a £15 Joanna Sheen voucher for one lucky winner. I've used Jayne Netley Mayhew Decoupage - Spring Collection for today's card.
Please excuse the wonky photo. I used an 8" x 8" card blank and struggled to get a photo without it looking a bit skew whiff!

The background papers are from K and Company. The fence is a Marianne Creatables die, the butterfly is a Marianne Creatable die and the flowers are a Joy!crafts die.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Marianne Design Divas - At the bottom of the garden
Divas by Design - Spring Colours
Allsorts Challenge - Spring has Sprung
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
A gem of a challenge - Animals

Thank you for taking the time to visit me today and for all your comments and encouragement. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Joanna Sheen

Good morning
It's Sunday and we have a brand new challenge over at Joanna Sheen. This fortnight our theme is.....
                                                      MUM'S THE WORD
There's a £15 voucher for one lucky winner.
Sheenie Towers sent me some gorgeous decoupage and a roll of washi tape for my card.  

I've never used washi tape before, the design was so pretty and it matched the colours in the image so I decided to make some backing paper from it! 

                                           

The green backing paper is from a First Edition pad. 

I used a Spellbinders edgeability die for the border, a marianne creatables die for the fence and a Martha Stewart punch for the little butterflies. 

I finished off with some ribbon and bling from my stash.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Creative Inspirations - Happy Mother's Day
Totally Gorjuss - For Mum
A Gem of a Challenge - Floral Frenzy
Dream Valley - Mothers Day

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today and for all your lovely comments. I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. Lorraine x
