Hello
Popping in to share a few cards I have made recently.
My stash of cards has got pretty low!
The rest of today I am playing at the sewing machine!

A long over due card share…
AnnaBelle Stamps – Easter Chickadee
Time for a challenge or two…
Hello
I have had a crafty week! I spent yesterday at the very first Altenew Workshop in Australia with the lovely Tasnim (and her family) and Therese from lostinpaper. I got to meet the lovely warm and extremely friendly Therese in person after years of talking through forums and blogs. I also meet in person the lovely Aileen from colourandsparkle for the first time and loads of other crafty people. I’ll share more in a later post as the sets we used have not been released yet. Yes I have decided my cards are blog worthy after all.
Anyway on with what else I have been creating. I received some new sets last week and inked them up straight away – a rare thing indeed!
I have also made a conscience decision to make the NBUS pile on my desk extinct! The first cards are from my NBUS stash. I do shop at times faster than I can create – I know I am not alone here!
My first card is using Concord and 9th Happy Day set which I have had for a while I teamed this with sentiments from Your next Stamp What not sentiments 4. I made two cards using this set. The first I coloured with watercolour pencils and added highlights with markers and the second I coloured with alcohol markers.
The first one I am entering into the challenge at Double D here and Bizzy Bec’s anything goes here.
and the second card using alcohol markers. I fussy cut the main image and popped up with foam tabs.
My parcel was from Jane’s Doodles. Jane had generously offered a free mini cupcake stamp set with orders on the recent International Women’s day. Here it is coloured with alcohol markers and a sentiment from Jane’s Birthday Wishes set.
I also inked up Jane’s Doodles Magnolia and Mother’s Day sets.
and my last card for today is a request. For sometime now I have been making cards for mum I know who gives her daughter chick themed cards. This one is for easter and uses SU Honeycomb Happiness and ABS Easter Chickadee coloured with watercolour pencils and markers.
I commend you for getting to the end of this post! Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time
Cheers

Daisy Lollipops…
After setting out to make one card for the DT at the Lollipop Ladies I ended up with two cards.
The Challenge is Daisy Lollipops with the additional challenge of stripes – head on over to take a peek at the prize for this fortnight.
This first one uses AnnaBelle Stamps Easter Chickadee Stamp Set, Cuts by design and Backgrounds by Design 3 and Stampin UP! ink and markers plus Stazon Jet black. The paper is AnnaBelle Stamps digital paper Chilli in Rose along with a scrap of yellow from my stash. Finished off with Pearls from Kaisercraft.
I am linking this to the challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps
My Second card uses Papertrey Ink Heart-2-Heart #7, Stampin UP! Ink, AnnaBelle Stamps gingham ribbon and yellow twine along with a button from my jar. The green cardstock is from my stash.
I am linking this card upto ABC Challenges – Anything Goes.
Just want to put my Mum hat on for a minute. My eldest daughter got a medal and her name goes on a trophy at school for the school sports carnival they had last week. She competed in the most events for her year level. She is very pleased – and rightly so. She has been trying to achieve this for a few years now and has been pipped at the post so to speak by the same girl, so to achieve this on her last year at the school is pretty exciting.
For those who asked Gran’s tooth is fine – just needed a filling! I think that is pretty good for 94.
Hope to be back later with something else to share – just need to brave the sun later to take a pic!
Thanks for stopping.
Cheers
Vicki
