I used a real photo I took of the sky printed on thin card for the background. The pegs were all cut from some buff coloured card and birds always appear when you have clean washing hanging out!

Even more Poinsettias in April

I continued to turn my cut out and coloured Poinsettias into cards and here are the next set of my April CCC15 cards. I used dies, embossing folders and some foam dots with a few greetings to make these simple cards.






Hope you have had a lovely weekend.

Poinsettia's in April

I have been making cards for the CCC15 challenge for April and the end of the month is fast approaching and not sure I will be done but here are the first 5 of my cards using the MFP lantern and MFP Poinsettias carefully trimmed.

I have incorporated a couple of other challenges too.

FOSTV163 - Creatures of the Night

Last FOSTV challenge
I would like to say I was going out on a high but the folding of the FOSTV challenge was only announced yesterday evening so I have nothing special prepared.

Our last challenge has the theme Creatures of the Night and I used the Owl nesting in a roof space for a New Home card.


 I first started on the team in October 2011 and I have worked with a great team, and had wonderful support from them all. It feels quite sad posting on the MFP page for the last time so I do hope you will give the challenge a good send off and play along.

I will continue to post on my blog and on Splitcoast so please don't be a stranger.

FOSTV162 - Trifold Cards

This week's FOSTV challenge is to make a Trifold Card. There are lots of tutorials at Splitcoast stampers and I used one from there for this little card. I used Brushos on this and stamps from the Flower Blocks set. The photos show it both closed and open.



The details of the challenge can be found here. Please make a tri-fold card and join us. Don't forget to check out the cards made by the rest of the team.

Have a lovely and creative week.

Friends in Spring Colours - FOSTV161

This week's FOSTV challenge is to bring a touch of spring to our cards with some lovely
Spring Colours
I know the days for many are still grey and cold so adding some pretty colours is sure to cheer things up and I hope my card will bring a smile.  This is my first flowerpot card.

I used the Huge Blooms stamp set.

I hope spring will find you soon with some lovely flowers, sunshine and colours.  Don't forget to play along.

Good Friday Christmas Cards

Well what else do you do on a grey and wet Good Friday other than catch up on your March Christmas cards?  Yes that is how I spent this afternoon and part of the evening. I started the year well with my CCC15 challenge as far as the cards were concerned but I am now a bit behind and my tags need to progress.

I mostly played with Brushos, need more practice, but I also tried Monday's TLC challenge to just use card.  My card was a lovely pearlescent blue but it doesn't look it in the photo.








I used stamps from Chocolate Baroque and some tree dies on this group of cards.

Maths worksheet using both Pirate sets.
These ones are just problems to get my students using their number skills in context.
They can enjoy colouring once we are done.
