Spring Quilt...

The challenge at Roses on Paper at the moment is to make a quilt card. As I was sorting out my craft stuff recently (well okay ransacking things to try and find something I thought I had) I found a Hot of the Press book on quilted cards. A book that I have had ages and not used because it seemed a shame to pull out any of the papers.

Anyway I still haven't used any of them, but I did use some of the ideas in the book to create my card for this challenge.

The papers I have used are from another HOTP and the beautiful stamp is one of the stamps in the Spring Set by Whiff of Joy. I wanted to get an exact colour match on her outfit to the quilting papers so I paper pieced.

My card is also for the challenge at Stamp Something where they want us to 'Think Spring' - strangely enough their challenge this week is being sponsored by Roses on Paper.

Another 21st card...

Just a quick post today to show another of the 21st cards I made for Shelley. I had to do one of them like this just to check out the possibilities of being able to do BIG numbers on my Cricut!!!

This card is an 8" x 8" so the numbers really are huge. The paper with the pink hearts is from the DCWV Rock Star pack and I've combined it with black shiny card and silver mirri card.

Pink Elephant Easter Blog Hop Candy Winner...

Thank you so much everyone who took part in the Easter Blog Hop at the Pink Elephant. The lovely comments and feedback we received about the event were just overwhelming.

I also had a great time reading about your favourite rabbit characters. I've not actually counted the votes, but I think Bugs Bunny seemed to be very popular.

My own favourite is Thumper out of Bambi - that phrase 'If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all' is one that many of us (including me) would benefit from saying to ourselves from time to time.

Anyway less rambling and on to the important news...


After writing out all the names and checking who should get a second try in the hat the name pulled out and winner of the Hero Arts Stamp set is ....

Elaine at My Creative Corner

Yeah!!! So pleased for you Elaine. Hope you enjoy using the set as much as I do mine.

My other blog candy prize will be announced on Friday 27th so if you haven't seen or added a rhyme to my Easter Egg Treasure Hunt Tutorial yet there is still time.

I know a lot of us were really busy being spoiled rotten or spoiling our own mums yesterday so if you missed some of the action at the Pink Elephant do have a look when you can.

The DT members did some really exciting tutorials - alongside my treasure hunt Lori did an embellished paper clip and a tag book and Angela did a tutorial for an accordian book.

It would be a shame to miss taking a look at these.
