Lots of Green!

Happy Saturday!

I'm hoping this post has appeared properly...I've had to schedule it to pop up automatically because today I'm dragging Mum to the Stitch & Craft show at Olympia....poor mum gets dragged around every year! This year we're also attended a workshop though so she'll get to sit down for a bit!! We're learning how to make paperbeads...I'll let you know how we get on!

So, its Saturday....and that means we have a new fab challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin this week. Our sponsor this month is Joanna Sheen and our weekly sponsor is Emerald Faerie.

Our challenge this week is in honour of St Patricks Day.....we want to see the colour green feature on your cards. Each DT member has kindly been given a fab image to play with by Emerald Faerie - my image is soooo cute - thank you!

After rummaging through my stash I realised that I didn't have many green papers! I've managed to feature several shades of green...plus some polka dots! I've coloured my cute fairy using my coloured pencils and added some glitter to the dandilion.

Isn't the weather lovely?

Evening Peeps,

Hope you're keeping well....I've managed to pick up yet another cold bug...my immune system is officially rubbish!! This time I have a rather violent cough, along with a drippy nose....lucky me!

Anyway, enough of my moaning! Tonight I've really not done a lot....I watched the final of Masterchef...I've watched Location, Location, Location....oh and I've made a Birthday card (no baking this evening I am sad to report!).

Another week has flown by and the lovely ladies at Sweet Sketch Wednesday have a fab new sketch for us to play with.....Isn't it lovely?

I'm using this sketch as the base for my card, along with the colour challenge over at Simon Says Stamp which is "bit o' green". The theme for my card is "Birthdays" and this is to celebrate Cute Card Thursdays 4th Birthday!

So here we go......

I love purple and green together....I think the little bit of purple around the edges on this card really makes the green pop. I've used different buttons to give the card a shabby chic feel

Going Green!

Evening all! I've decided to squeeze another post in today....I've just finished an evening with the Brownies and Guides, but before then and after work I managed to made a new card for this week's challenge over at the Creative Cottage!

I was so pleased when I popped over to their fab blog earlier and discovered that I've been awarded their favourites badge again...you'll see it's taken pride of place with my other one on my sidebar...its such an honour to be picked again.....a HUGE thank you to the all the ladies.

They've picked a fab challenge for this week...it's called "going green" and you can either enter cards that feature the colour green or that has something recycled on it. I decided to try and be clever and have both kinds of green on my card......

So, this little new home card features the sentiment and the fab little house from the Creative Cottage "Home Sweet Home" digi kit (I hope that I'm allowed that bit of pink, I think it looks fab aganist the green!!).

I've also used a selection of green backing papers, a piece of zingy green ribbon and a selection of green buttons....the buttons are the recycled items! Oh, and I managed to squeeze in a bit of green glitter glue too....I love a bit of sparkle!

The DT cards are all as lovely as ever, pop over to the blog and take a peek. There are so many different shades of green!!

Right, I'm going to go and put my feet up I think...my knee is playing up again and its starting to make me a bit grumpy!!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog,
