G - Garden - un giardino

oh my I nearly missed this challenge.  Life has been tough over the past two weeks with my mum falling and ending up in hospital and then returning to the home she is in, but not really fit to be there.  Anyhow I made the challenge at The Craft Barn by the skin of my teeth.  I really don't want to miss any of the alphabet out.
This time the focus is on the letter G and I chose to illustrate the word 'garden' which in my Italian dictionary is 'uno giardino'.  I've just bought a set of alphabet stamps (second hand so not sure of make) that have the letter and two words on as well - really like these and will be using them on each page from now on I think.  The main stamped garden images are from a set of clear stamps by PSX that I have had for so long I can't remember when I bought them.  They have gone yellow but still seem to stamp okay.
Hope you like my page - I'm wondering what the next letter will be - only got till tomorrow to find out - a short wait this time!

R - reindeer - una renna...

Oh my a new letter at The Craft Barn dictionary challenge and I really don't want to get left behind in this challenge.  I've been super busy this week and not super fit but to save the day I've rehashed and renovated a page I did some time ago. I've added colour and the dictionary definition.

Here's a recap of all the words covered so far...

• F - fish - un pesce
• B - baby - un bimbo / una bimba
• L - leaf - un foglia

Additional challenges...

• Artistic Inspirations - anything goes
• Crafting from the heart - anything goes
• Craft your passion - anything goes

Have a great week.

Flowers...

Our challenge at My Time to Craft this time is yes you guessed it 'Flowers'.  Yeah the sun is shining - there are daffodils everywhere and I've just booked my next holiday!  Thank goodness we are getting near to the end of winter - it seems like it has been a long one this year!
My card is a very simple one that took no time at all to do.  I used one the Create a Card dies by Die-sire to cut out the main image - mat and layered it and added some gems.  Bish, bash bosh done as my lovely blogging friend Max would say.

Do check out some of the stunning cards my team mates at My Time to Craft have created and hopefully join in with this fun challenge too.  Just remember though entries with just a tiny flower embellishing the main image don't count the card has to be really floral.
