May the Odds…

…Be ever in your favour.

Name that book!?

Quickie post cos my eyes have been streaming all day thanks to the start of hayfever season. My nose has been fine but my eyes.. Crikey, it’s like someone has turned on a tap and forgotten to turn them back off.

New challenge day over at Charisma Cardz and the theme is black, white plus one other colour.

My other colour is green

I have used the “Honour” digi stamp from Saturated Canary, one of our sponsors this week. She reminds me of Katniss, hence the sentiment.

I have coloured her with promarkers and the patterned paper is from MME.

Right, back to the tea bags over the eyes!

At The Beach

It is so not beach weather here right now! In fact it has rained on and off for days on end! So I decided to inject some sunshine into my craft room and make a card with the Beach Baby stamp by Saturated Canary and\ the Summer Soul paper pad by Fancy Pants Designs

I am entering this into the Sweet Stampin' Challenge.

Butterflies

I made this a few weeks ago. In fact, I think I shared in on my facebook page and on twitter but I haven’t as yet shared it on my blog.

I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of cards which I have took time to make but haven’t yet got around to photographing. I need to have a blitz and get them uploaded.

The Card

Another beauty from Saturated Canary! She’s called Butterflies (or she might be called Ceridwen). Whatever she is called, she’s beautiful! I printed her directly onto the Basic Grey paper and then ran off another copy so that I could colour her in properly. I’ve coloured her with Promarkers, Copics (that’s how long ago I made this card, before I made the Copics = Headaches link)

She is glamorously sparkly due to stickles and I’ve also used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch to add a tiny bit of dimension to what would have otherwise have been a very flat card.

News

Today I won my first craft challenge of this year! I know. It’s May! The random generator has not been kind to me this year. At. All. That, plus I haven’t been entering many in comparison to last year. I won with my first DT card for Mayzy Art so double yay! Thank you to Tammy’s Scrappin’ Corner!

Today sees a new challenge over at Jackson’s Digital Expressions and it’s an Anything Goes challenge but if you fancy a bit of a challenge, have a go at the sketch. Sketches are fabulous when your mojo is running on empty. The layout is done for you, you just need to add some of your own flair.

Weather

Because I’m British and that’s what we talk about. It’s 75 degrees here in Leicestershire today. That’s like summer temperatures! I do love sunny days but my Lupus doesn’t, so I have mainly be admiring it from indoors.

Sunny day at the office

And that’s about it from me for today! If the weather is as gorgeous where you are as it is here, enjoy it! And if not, happy crafting!
