Let's get dotty...

Just a quick card to show today as yesterday I was so busy organising my craft stuff that even answering the phone was impossible at one stage - see photo at end of post!

This card is for the challenge at http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ where this week we were asked to use dots and spots in our project. I reached for that great DCWV kit that I have been using recently. I can't believe how great that has been, especially as I only paid £1 for it.

The dog in a tie stamp is from one of the T for transparent sets called 'Bubbly' and I have coloured the image using Derwent Inktense pencil crayons.

Sorry the photo is so bad, but the light here is gloomy today as it is so rainy.

Now for my craft cupboard. Look at this ...

It took all day and I still need to do some labelling, but I think I am getting a little bit nearer being an organised crafter!!! At one stage while sorting this out I couldn't even cross the room to the phone - there was just boxes piled high everywhere.

Now I just need to find somewhere to put all the clothes I took out of here!

Oh well who needs clothes?

A new award...

What a great start to the week? When I logged in this morning I discovered that my blogging friend Heather at http://ricas-haven.blogspot.com/ had given me this award. Thank you so much Heather. If you haven't yet visited Heather's blog yet do go and have a peep. She combines colours like magic - you will not be disappointed and she will definitely end up in your favourites!

Now to pass on the award ...

This is always a difficult task as I visit so many talented crafters and have made so many good friends in blog land over the past year but here goes...

Messy Rabbit plant spike...

You will have to use your imagination a little today, because really this plant marker is to go in the top of an Easter plant gift. I'm hoping to make a huge pot full of spring flowers and put this marker in the top like a gift tag.

Am I organised or what? Unfornately, friends who know me well will say that by the Easter arrives I will have forgotten which safe place I stored this marker in!! Probably true, but if I do come good I will put a photo of the completed pot on my blog.


I stamped one of the Messy Rabbit range by Joanna Sheen on to shrink plastic and coloured the image with Sakura stardust pens. I usually display the shiny side of the shrink plastic but on this occasion I really liked the twinkle of the stardust pens and decided to have that showing.

In the same way as I did the plant marker yesterday I stamped the Studio G grass and sentiment on to white card and then laminated. I was working on the theory that is it's in the top of a plant pot it might get splashed with water so is better laminated for protection.

The challenge at http://thisthursday.wordpress.com/ this week is 'something with whiskers' and as the sponsor is Joanna Sheen it seemed very appropriate to use one of her rabbits for this challenge.
