Creatalicious Challenges 238 Lots of layers

Hello once more from a very, very rainy Scotland! 

I'm fed up with it!!  We  have spent ages growing plants in the greenhouse, and we can't get outside to enjoy them.  Garden looks lovely but the rain is slowly destroying the beautiful flowers.  So sad :(

So, onto the Creatalicious Challenges

 the theme this time is lots of layers

I have used my dies and cut out lots of layers as required!!  Blue is my favourite colour, and I think this is a lovely card.  The Blue and white looks really sharp and really shows up the die-cut layers I think.

Well there we are.  It's the end of June already.  Where is this year going?

I hope the sun is shining where you are, and I will continue to live in hope!!

Bye for now!! xxx

Creatalicious Challenges 237

 Time for another challenge at Creatalicious Challenges. 

 This time the theme is to use a Stencil.

I love using stencils, but I just don't use them enough.  I had the hard job of trying to decide which one to use from the dozens in my box!

This topper is one I got from my daughter, and I haven't wanted to use it 

as I liked it so much!

I stencilled the background, and then put topper on.  

Simple!! Very easy card.

Why don't you pop over to Creatalicious challenges blogspot

and have a look at the other cards on there.

I'll see you soon with the next challenge!

 It's Friday, so that means it is Crafty Catz Day!!!

Creatalicious Challenges #236

 Hello again!  I have just had to fork out for a new laptop, printer and kettle!!!!  Very expensive weekend I had.  Still loading things back onto my laptop, what a nightmare!

It's time for the Creatalicious Challenge once again.  This time the theme is "Lots of Bling" 

I have chosen this wee card for a new baby

Once again, I have chosen an image from Mo Manning.  Isn't she a cutie?  This image can also be used for a boy of course.

I have coloured this image with Promarkers, the gems and embellies were from my stash.  

I hope you like m y card, and remember you can see more Designer's cards on the Creatalicious challenges blogspot

Bye for now, I'll hopefully be back soon!!

Creatalicious Challenges #234 AG with option of Mother's Day

 Hello again.  Have you been getting glorious sunshine where you are?  In my wee corner it has been glorious sunshine wall-to-wall and I am loving it!!

I've been very busy in my greenhouse, sewing seeds and watching them grow.  I love it and I marvel at this every single year.

So, onto the challenge.  Anything goes with the option of Mother's Day.

I have picked this wee card using a Lili of the Valley image.  The sentiment reads Picked Just for You, and that's what we do for our mum's, don't we?  We pick something special, as they are very special to us.  I lost my mum over 30 years ago and I miss her more now than I did when she passed away.  My daughter has just become a new mum, which now makes me a granny of 7 and 1 Angel Baby.

pop over to Creatalicious Challenges blogspot and have a look at the design team's cards, and then enter one of your own.

Take care and stay safe until the next time. xx
