Anything but a card

Morning Folks!

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the weekend??

It's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this time it's 

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

We are sponsored this week by 

I have to admit I struggled a bit with this one, my mojo left the building as sinusitis arrived! I haven't made anything apart from cards for yonks but after much dithering eventually settled on decorating a kraft gift bag:

The Forever Friends stamp has been in my stash for ages, it came from the Glitter Pot sale at least 3 years ago for about £1.25, bargain!! The papers are a mixture of odds and ends from my folders. The banner die cut is by Poppy stamps.

Here's the close up views:

I also paper pieced the little parcel:

Bunny Talk

Happy Easter Sunday everyone!

I hope you're having a good day and that perhaps the Easter bunny has dropped off some chocolate for you!

As promised on Friday, here's my second Easter card using a Penny Black stamp called 'Bunny Talk' that I have had for ages. I have used it a couple of times before but masked off the little chick so that it was more generic and suitable for different occasions!

Once again the papers are from my scraps collections and the prima flowers are from my stash

Wonder what they are saying to each other?? Perhaps the chick wants to know where the Easter eggs are hidden??

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Easter Sunday whatever you're doing!!

Morning Folks!

Hope you're having a great Easter so far and looking forward to the Easter Bunny leaving some chocolate tomorrow! Of course, Saturday means a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this week we are going for

PAPER PIECING

 so dig out those sharp scissors and paper scraps!!

We have a lovely prize from

up for grabs!!

Here's my card using a fab Stella digi from Bugaboo which just makes me laugh!! Not quite sure if paper piecing and going bra less are a good combination though - careful with those scissors!!

I've coloured the image with promarkers and then paper pieced the dress and shoes using a scrap of lilac polka dot paper. Also used up a few more flowers from the stash collection!!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the long weekend!

Daisy Bunny

Morning Folks!

Yay, the Easter long weekend has started!! Sadly so too has the rain, it's very dull here - perhaps a good excuse to settle back with a hot cross bun and a cuppa??

I don't usually make Easter cards, but this year I did need to send a couple so I thought I'd share them this weekend. I don't have that many specific Easter stamps but this Messy Rabbit stamp from Joanna Sheen always makes me think of Spring. Papers are all from my scraps folders (which look just as jam packed as ever) along with flowers and card candi from my stash.

Isn't she just so cute wearing her daisy chain!

I forgot to photo the inside before I put this in the post (duh) but it does have a Happy Easter greeting from Stamping Up in it. I'd like to enter the following challenges:
