I used an adorable digi stamp by Lori Boyd which I bought from Die Cuts R Us. I coloured Lacie with my Promarkers in colours to match the papers and added glossy accents to her little apple. As a finishing touch, I added a lovely little spotty button from The Ribbon Girl. I adore this little digi image, Lori Boyd is so talented and I will definitely be treating myself to more of her lovely designs.
I normally make 3 the same but decided to make 3 different ones this month for a change! I loved using the pink with black and sticking on bits of lace and other haberdashery bits and bobs. The theme was such a great one to have a play with :-)
A possible candidate for my next DT card for the Pollycraft blog is hiding under the pile of ribbon on my mat. I want this card to be really special as this is my first time choosing the theme and I am not 100% happy with it.
The second set are for Paul's ATC swappers swap. The theme is 'Tall tales' and I used the Alice in Wonderland digi set from The Greeting Farm. The sentiment was printed using a Free Font from the web and cut out with a Nesties label.
I love these ATCs and had a hard time putting them in an envelope to send off! I hope whoever gets them in the swap loves them as much as me :-)
I had a very productive day today, not necessarily craft wise but it was an enjoyable one nonetheless. It was a football themed morning with Jack playing a match and then I dropped the boys off to Darren's work so they could all go to watch the Reading game. I decided to go and visit Beryl at Ashridge Farm Craft shop in the afternoon. I spent about an hour there and helped Beryl choose some lovely Prima flowers for her next order, can't wait for them to arrive! I also treated myself to one of her new Magnolia stamps and the magazine and a couple of other bits and bobs.
Here is my desk today, all tidy. I had lots and lots of Crafting time this Easter Weekend and made lots of my DT projects and have decided to have a break from crafting for a couple of days. I spent some time rearranging some of my stash, my shelves look very tidy. There are some of the lovely ATCs on my desk I received as part of my Addicted to ATCs swap yesterday.
I thought I would give you a lovely close up of my very untidy corner. This is where I shove everything when I tidy up that I don't know where to put away. There are allsorts in there, scraps, printed papers, die cut shapes and it's a mess! I hope you have enjoyed looking around my desk today and will forgive me my untidy corner! If you want to see more desks, hop on over to Julia's and why not share a picture of yours too?
I thought I would share the ATC's I made for my monthly Addicted to ATCs swap. I did lots of die cutting and punching with Funky Hand papers scraps. I love all these papers and I love the Butterfly punch too!
These are the ATCs I received as swaps, aren't they just gorgeous! The theme was Springtime colours and I love the images and Butterflies on these cards. I always look forward to receiving my ATCs every month, if you like ATCs, why not pop on over to the blog of the swap I run with Petra, we always welcome new members so why not come and join in the fun :-)
I inked all the edges (surprise, surprise!) and added a Hero Arts sentiment, some gems and a heart button tied with string to finish them off.
I used very bright colours from my scrap box and coloured the image with Promarkers. The little flowers were part of my Christmas present from my DT buddy Tracy. If you are interested in swapping ATCs, please pop over to the blog for more details. We always welcome new people so it would be great if you could join us!
The burgundy card is from the Papermill shop and the little gem is from my stash. I coloured the image with Promarkers.
I cut the little Witch out after colouring her in and mounted her onto some Daisy and Dandelion paper I had cut out with my labels Nesties and layered onto some Sizzix card. The 'trick or treat' is also from Elzybells and the little star was from a pack of crafty goodies from Lidl.
Love the owl - and the way everything coordinates so well. Fab card!
