His trousers and hat are paper pieced...a tip if you don't want to waste  your DP.
Print your image onto copy paper, cut a small square of DP, I put it through my xyron with repositionable tape and stick it over the image, then print again.
Make sure you notice which way round it needs to go back into the printer.
( Don't use a post it note as it might come off and get stuck in your printer)
Dp is from the hopscotch pad by K&Co.
I didn't have blue ric rac ribbon so I coloured it with copic B32.
Thought the MS trellis  punch looked a bit netty and hung a couple of fishy charms from my stash on to it.
The sentiment was printed by computer and cut with word punch from Stampin' Up
I hope you'll join in the fun, for more inspiration check out my lovely teamies.

4 Cs and a bit of Sugar

Hello,
 It was a  cold wet day here in Leeds today, hope the weather was better for you.
A BIG HELLO to Georgina, a lovely new follower, thank you for joining us.
I've been wanting to make this gift box for quite a while but couldn't find the time.
As Gracie started nursery this week i've got every morning now to play!!!

There are a few challenges this will fit into 4 of them starting with 'C' hence the title.
Cupcake Craft ~ Don't be Square, anything but a square card
A Spoonful of Sugar ~ 3D something
Crafty Creations ~ Make your own paper
Cute Card Thursday ~ Make your own
Charisma Cards ~ Girly with Flowers on but not just on your dp
Papertake Weekly ~ Do something new that you haven't done before
Paperplay Challenges  ~ Pretty Pastels

It started as a digital download template from My Time Made Easy  designed and owned by Lauren Meader. Check out her site they do more than just templates.
This box is from the Pretty Packaging and is called Card Catch All.
 It's really easy to make and went together in no time at all.

I made a note book using my Bind it All, first project I have made and a first for using the template.
That is the Papertake challenge.
The lilac card is from The Paper Mill in York, white card from my stash. I stamped the background with   Magenta swirl K0537 from Whichcraftuk and lulu lavender ink by momento.
 The sides and back are done in the same way and decorated with faux pearls, sparkling Swarovski crystals and a sakura stardust pen. The photo doesn't  really show  how sparkly it is!!
Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

Sentiment stamps by Stampin' Up oval all and curvy verses sets from Victoria
There is also an add on template to make cards and envelopes to match and category cards, called Pretty Pieces cut file
I didn't decorate them just tied them together with ribbon from my stash.
Look out for more of these as they are really gorgeous and I have others to try watch this space.

Will be posting more from now on so hope you'll come a long for the ride.

Special Monthly Challenge Just Magnolia

Good morning friends,

The special monthly challenge at Just Magnolia is a tent card.There's a fabulous tutorial to follow to make this gorgeous card, hop over and have a look.
I am also entering the following challenges.
 Magnolia Down Under which is a recipe of 3 papers 3 flowers 2 buttons and 1 bow.
Cupcake Craft who's theme is flower power
Roses on paper to make something for Easter.

 I really enjoyed making this card although it wasn't without a problem. I stuck the front paper on, cut the apperture then realised I could see the folded piece in the window. No problem i'll draw the shape and trim it sorted. Then I stuck the back paper before the folded piece so had a pink strip on my cream dotty paper!!!something else showing in the window.
 One thing we crafters are good at is covering up mistakes, another paper that matched the colours cut with my Martha Stewart doylie punch, and as if by magic pink was replaced with a row of Easter eggs.
  I got there in the end love it so much  i'm going to make another one for a  challenge tomorrow.

The double sided flower paper is by Making Memories, garden party.
 My cover up my mistake paper with the eggs on is by Papermania spring time.
I coloured the Tilda with rabbit stamp by Magnolia with Copics and Promarkers
Flowers are from  Wild Orchid Crafts my prize from the just magnolia win they are soooo fabulous, I am so lucky.

The only problem with posting in the early hours is being tied and pressing the wrong key  it posted before
I wanted it to. I was getting it ready for the morning when I could take my photo. Aw well!!!

Love to you all
Cherie   //*.*\\

This is my card for the following challenges.
Cupcake Craft challenge this week was to make a card for friend.

I inked the smile stamp from Hero Arts then punch the square. Sentiment from Aspects of Design 52 by Kay Carley.

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #18

Hello to you all this morning and thanks for dropping by.

The challenge  at Mo's Digital Pencil blog is,  All about Colours.  To use pink, white, red and include a heart on your project. 
There are two other challenges I would like to enter this card for.
  Cupcake Craft Challenge   the theme this week is Keep It Simple
 Crazy for Challenges the theme is RED

I didn't want to do a valentines card, so I did one that could be Mother's Day or Birthday for mum.
My sister and I had a fabulous couple of days together this week. We worked on this card and a calender project that she made at a workshop at Whichcraft,  i'll add a picture at the end. Why don't you drop in there and have a look at their workshops you won't be disappointed!!

I chose the gorgeous I Love Ya, Tomorrow digital image, she is so fabulous to colour. The greeting on the heart garland was printed on the computer stamped and punched out. I  then threaded them and  beads on to some metalic thread. My Cricut machine cut the 'mum' letters, it doesn't come out as often as it should. I have to keep getting it out of the box and to use it.

Card ingredients.
I love ya tomorrow digital image
copic markers
Basic Grey paper marrakech - I adore this set of paper.
Navy card Paper Mill
Chalk background
Stamp on hearts stars by Lavinia stamps

This is the calender that Jac and I made just want to share it with you.

A big thank you to the team over at Double Dutch for my lovely prize!!!

Thank you so much for looking have a brilliant day.
