Meep Meep and a sketch


I created a sketch before putting this card together and am offering the sketch as a Tip for Top Tip Tuesday. I love the Meep Meep digistamp from Little Musings and her blog is great.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Tagxedo


I like to look at other people's blog's for ideas, inspiration and I guess just because I'm nosy but my very favourite blog is http://itsallfiddlefart.blogspot.com/. I get most of my best ideas from there and the thing I like most is the ideas are mostly simple as well as creative. Anyway while I was looking at that blog this morning I decided to look to see where Helen gets her inspiration from so I started to look at the blogs she follows. This lead me to http://creativeflourishes.blogspot.com/ which was full of exciting things but in particular www.tagxedo.com here you can create pictures out of words! The above dove is made from words from this blog - I just think that awesome! It would make a lovely card, I'll be experimenting and looking up poems I can use!

Bird-day card


I made this card for my neighbour, I made it to match with the tealights in the previous post and I'm pleased with most of it, the layout, the colours and the flowers but the colouring of the bird seemed to go very wrong. Still you can't win them all right!

Birthday Tealights


I'm trying another of the Paper Planet 3d challenges and this time I'm hopefully not too late! I love the idea http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/3dchallengegroup/forum/topics/3d110tearrific-tealights. You decorate a circle of tissue paper and then melt the wax around it - cool!

New Beginnings ATCs

Last month I started an ATC swap with Ali http://alisatcswapstop.blogspot.com/ Each month she picks a different theme, you make four ATCs and send them to her. She then sends you four different ones by other people. It's great and I loved the ones I received for her 'Wild Thing' theme!

Anyway, this month Hannah and I worked together to produce these ATCs that we're calling Talk of New Beginnings.

Easter Peek-A-Boo Suitcase


I had a go at another Paper Planet challenge http://www.papercraftplanet.com/profiles/blogs/peekaboo-challenge-3 I didn't finish it in time to enter, but I had fun making it and may make a few more for Easter presents.

Easter Cards


I haven't posted anything for a while, I seem to be making things at the last minute and then sending them without thinking to photograph them first! Ah well, here's a couple of Easter cards that I've remembered to record.
