Ooops again - forgot to post me challenges!!!

Papertake Weekly - April Showers

Spring ?????

Our challenge this week at Everybody Art Challenge is SPRING!!! 

This card was created during that spell of beautifully sunny weather  a couple weeks ago!!!

Consequently it now looks more like a not SUMMER day  and Bea sat out sunning her self.

 

Bea is coloured with Copics and I have cut out the easel with large Go Kreate frame.

The stunning papers are from my 'bit box' and I use Magnolia's flourishes and flowers and butterflies from Crealies. The band of the easel is attached with ribbon and a 'Memory box' and pearls.

Now I shall try to sort my self out!!! 

Travelling forwards and backwards to the UK especially whilst the clocks have been changing has created one problem -  three odd days on holiday at Easter has me now tonally confused - I don't  know which day or time it is - Now to try and sort it out!!!

Oooh - chocolate - yummy!!!

I  hope you all had a brilliant weekend - not to stuffed full of eggs.

House Mouses and Friends are have a party - and full of eggs and goodies as per usual!!!  

We also have 2 new lovely GDTs for our April challenges Squirrel & Gail and ware to have you joining us!!!

Simon Says Stamp with a fab $25 gift certificate to spend in their store..

2nd super sponsor is Sweet Stamp Store with a $10 gift certificate to spend in their store.

This image is know as 'Chocolate Delight' - the look like they have more than a few already!!
They are coloured with Copics and I have used Basic Grey Out of Print.I have use a small tag from Lily of the Valley to which I have added from one of their sentiments. I have completed it with pearls, ribbon and a flower from Prima.


I have to move my craft room - I leaked and went moldy!!!!
Nothing much - only a guttering blocked but the trouble caused my wall to go moldy. I had to move the units which practically fell apart - a good excused for some new ones !!! The one downside to all I have to stay totally from m my room until they have finished treating it with fungicide, pesticide or any 'cide' there could is be!!! 

Simon Says Stamp...........USE your FAVOURITE TOOL!!!!

Our Challenge at Simon Says Stamp this week is to


Use Your Favourite Tool
  
I am sure you have many different uses for tools - from scissors to pliers and many more!!!

Which???

 Cuttlebug              Scoring Board                Guillotine                       

I eventually decided on the unsung hero of my  Scoring Board

Each time I make a card I made a box - often this box is bulky and usually has to withstand some or ether postal treatment (or should I say the Postal mistreatment)

I chose this card as it is ready and need posting.

I decided to made a coordinating 'envelope'

  

These boxes  usually 6x6inc (15x15cm) with double thickness around the edges for extra strength.

It can be adapted to other sizes.

 

 Card and in the box

The card sat above the box

I used the Martha Stewart Scoring Board to create the box.

This is my Tonic Studios Guillotine which has to be used several times each day - from a piece of card to a slip of paper.

My Cuttlebug doesn't need any mention but eeeeekk!!!! at the thought of being with out it and what I could possibly replace it. Perhaps I should set my self a challenge of not using it for a week!!!! Perhaps not!!

The papers used are the gorgeous My Mine's Eye A Beautiful Life and Magnolia's Doohickey  Buttrrfly
