Feminine at TioT

Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Make it Feminine, which is great as I need some 'girly' cards.

I've used an old Flonz image, stamping onto a reverse stencil print background.  I stamped the image again onto red card and fussy cut the dress.  The sentiments were freebies from an old Creative Stamping magazine.

The rest of the Design Team have lots of varied inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog, where you will also find all the challenge details.

You would have thought a week of walking and various activities in the Lak District would have exhausted the twins, but NO!  They were absolutely hyper when they came for a sleepover on Saturday night, their energy continued all day Sunday - wish I could have had some!

Spring At Stamping Sensations

 It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month the theme is Spring.

I've used AALL&Create Crocus #624 stamping onto a Gelli plate background.  I also stamped the flower head a second time,  (I wasn't satisfied with the colouring over the yellow of the background) so coloured and attached this after randomly stamping  parts of the scrip of another A&C stamp #304.

The rest of the Design Team have also followed this theme, but if you prefer you can always follow the A/G option.

There are two prizes this month of Sweet Poppy stamps and stencil, but remember to be eligible to win you must have some real stamping on the front of your project.

A busy day ahead as I have the twins today, they've just had a week in the Lake District.  They got their first pair of 'proper' walking boots - they climbed to the top of Castlehead - their first mini mountain!

I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.
