Some challenges if you please...

Hi All

Well it is that time again, half-term that is (!), which means another chance to do a bit of crafting. I have had a go at a few challenges but not entirely happy with what I have produced. Think I may have lost my Crafting mojo :( I wasn't feeling too well this morning though so I hopefully I have just had a bad day. I hope you enjoy looking at my cards....one question though for anyone who may happen upon my blog...if any of you use lace, how do you attach it? What adhesive do you use as I had a bit of trouble with this earlier. Answers on a virtual postcard please! Lol!

Anyway, here is my first entry into the Just Magnolia challenge which is the theme of 'Friends.' I love this image of Tilda and found this lovely little verse to go on my card...I felt it went well with the image. I would also like to enter this card into the Cute Card Thursday challenge which is a sketch this week.

My next card is for the challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar this week which is to include a floral element somewhere on your card. I included the little flowers on the side of my image as well as having floral ribbon and a few flowers made an appearance on the stamped image. I love this cute little elephant. It is one of 'Little Claire' designs and he is just adorable! I also really like this sketch. I have used it a few times now...I think I picked it up from a challenge I did a few weeks ago...

My next card today is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge which was to create a card/project 'For the Girlies.' I think mine is suitably girly with my colour choice! Lol! Haven't used much bling though....although sometimes less is more. I have made an easel card again for this challenge. I am really enjoying making these at the moment. They are so easy to make and give a normal card a bit of interest for the person you send it too....after they have worked out how to stand it up anyway!

Over at Sketch Saturday this week there are lots of celebrations going on. It is their third birthday! Happy birthday Sketch Saturday! There is lots of blog candy up for grabs, as well as a fab sketch to follow this week as always. Here is my entry....what better way to celebrate a birthday but with a bit of shopping? Lol!

My final card today is for the Winter Wonderland challenge and they have a birthday this week too! They were two yesterday! Happy birthday Winter Wonderland! Lots of prizes up for grabs so go over and take a look! The challenge this week was also a fab one, really enjoyed taking part. You just need to produce a card/project using the colours blue and white. My favourite colours when making Christmas cards!

That's it for now....feel like I have lost my crafting mojo but am hoping that it may come back when the post arrives tomorrow....hoping that my new Humphrey's Crafters Companion CD arrives and I can have a play! Surely I can't go wrong with such a cute character! Hope you have enjoyed visiting my little blog.

Hugs
