Favourite Flower at As You Like It

The challenge this fortnight at As You Like It is to use your favourite flower - and tell us why it's your favourite. I don't really have a favourite flower (mainly because I don't know what most of the are - I could spot a rose or a poppy and then I'm stumped!) So, my card contains pink flowers because I love all pink flowers!! When my husband sends me flowers he asks the florist to use pinks and purples and NO yellows or oranges. Sorry - I loathe yellow and orange!

So, pink flowers it is!


I love these polkadoodle flowers - love the squiggles and doodles too!

Something for Baby at As You Like It

Over at As You Like It we would like to see something you've made for a baby and tell us why you've made it!

I made this baby card for a Grandma to be who loved the LOTV image and wanted something 'very pink'! Sounded good to me!

The challenge is open for a couple of weeks so follow the link if you'd like to join us! As You Like It Challenge Blog  xxx

Summer or Winter colours at As You Like It

The challenge at As You Like It for the next fortnight is Summer or Winter colours (and why you chosen that option).

I decided to go for lots of bright summery colours mainly because I'm so sick of grey miserable weather! This card was the Kit and Clowder May '19 markers class and it comes highly recommended!


I have, at last, got an appointment at the hand clinic today and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they have options that don't involve surgery!

Hugs xx

Favourite stamp brand over at As You Like It.

The challenge for the next couple of weeks over at As You Like It is to make a card using an image from your favourite stamp brand - and tell us why it's your favourite.

My favourite is Lili of the Valley and has been since I started crafting over ten years ago. I love the super cute images, they're a pleasure to colour and are always super popular.


I love this one from the new release :-)

Hope you get an opportunity to join us xx

His or Hers at As You Like It

Over at As You Like It this fortnight we are hosting a His or Hers challenge. Do you like making girls cards or do you favour making those tricky cards for boys?

Unsurprisingly I prefer making girls cards. There's just soooo much more you can add to a girl card. Ribbon, pearls, gems, spangles, feathers - oooh so much froth!!


I love this Tonic 'A Good Year' bottle die - especially in this beautiful satin red card. Topped off with this Stampingbella stamp (one of my faves).

I hope you can join us for this challenge xx

As You Like It - Favourite Non Card Project

I'm very late with my As You Like It Challenge project this week :-( The challenge is to make your favourite non card project. I'm very fond of tonic bags so I decided to use my new Kings Cross Case die. As a first attempt it's ok - but I can see some tweaks are needed!!


I've used one of the LOTV new release images too (stamps are due for release 15th May).

Hope you can join us xx

Sneak peek . . . .

I finally got to play with the soon to be released stamps from LOTV. The stamps are released on May 15th and contain all manner of cuteness - what else would you expect from Lili of The Valley :-)


I love these wedding bears - and they look lovely teamed up with this shaped card die from Studio Light.


Happy bears - what more could you ask for ;-)
