Wings On Things

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week my turn to host and I would like to see 'Wings On Things'

Well I sneaked three things with wings on my card, my fairy, a bee and a butterfly.  I used a Flower Fairy stamp and her wings and dress are sparkly with Glamour dust but not really showing.  The Butterfly Die was a Christmas present, thanks B, it's a Penny Black and comes with two sizes, I also glamour dusted that too.


Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.

Poppy Fairy

Hello Blogging friends, today's card is for a special challenge. It's for  Brenda's challenge that she has going on her blog Floral Fantasies.  It's to celebrate her Blogversary and her 4,000 followers, and wow the prizes are fantastic.



I know that Brenda loves Poppies and Fairies, so here I was able to combine both with this Flower fairies stamp.  Also the Poppies and butterflies are inspired by her header on her blog. I kept it quite simple as the butterflies that are die cut down the side of the card added embellishment already. I edged the butterflies with stickles and for the thorax I used gems.  There's more stickles on the fairy's wings but it isn't showing very well.  You can find the challenge here....... and tons of inspiration!!!!!!

This is my son Bobby dressed up for RED NOSE day, he had to go as some kind of Hero, he chose Soldier, But he's my little Hero however he's dressed, there has been allsorts going on to celebrate today at school. And we've been getting texts up-dating us on how much they are raising at school. They are doing really well.  They raised £203.50 on wet sponge throwing, that could be because they were throwing the sponges at teachers.  I'm just going over to the cake sale they are having now.
So see you later, I will be back tomorrow with my Allsorts challenge post.

I just Love Poppies

This is my creation for the Rosie-D's challenge, where this week the theme has been chosen by Lyn. And the theme is "England/St Georges or Red and White".
Lyn has very kindly offered to give our winner a Surprise.
So please pop on over and see the rest of the DT great creations and join in too.

I had a really good old play with this one, I don't know if you can see but I used some perfect pearls in gold heirloom, in my mister and sprayed the backing paper and the flowers. They were in my Tim Holtz kit from QVC, I've never used these before, and I like the effect I got with them. Now I want more mister bottles and pearls, they are addictive. Her wings are covered in Star Dust stickles, and I used Promarkers to colour this as I wanted strong colours for the Poppies.

Please don't forget to be in with a chance of winning a fab Cricut, then join in the Fantasy challenge over at Sir Stampalot!

Hope you pop on over and join in.

And of course we will also be selecting our Top 3 who will be able to display our special logo. The rest of the oh so talented Design Team have come up with some awesome projects so please do go and visit them and see how they have been creative .
Now onto my creations:-
My first is a card, using the Lavender fairy image, and painted with H20's and distress inks. I have used some beautifully delicate lace and then I have sewn Diamante's on. I have used stickles to give her a magical sparkle.
Then I decided to have a play about at my craft desk and made myself a file to keep all my sketches together. It is held together with a book ring, and i have made a charm out off shrinkables, my first time using them. When I find a good sketch or i draw one of my own, i keep them all together, but now i'll just keep adding them to this file and it looks pretty hung up at my desk too. I have to be organised as my craft space is small.

So I do hope i'll see you joining in, have a good day
Happy crafting
