Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge ....

Hi everyone now please can someone tell me where April went! I seemed to have blinked and missed it! I'm still only half way through my Christmas scrapbook and it will be Christmas again before I know it at this rate!

Anyway as it is the first of the month it's time for another challenge at Crafter's Companion Challenge and our theme for you this month is 'Here comes summer'.  I think this is a great theme for this month as the weather has been so bad we need to see some nice summery cards!

I have used a fab Card Companion from the new A Year With Humphrey CD on my card.  I so love this image as it really makes me think of summer days!

I hope you will join in with the challenge.  As always there is a fantastic prize for the winner.

Thanks for stopping by.

Crafter's Companion Monthly Challenge .....

Hi everyone, I can't believe it's the first of March already, where is this year going!  I've still not finished my Christmas scrapbook yet, and it will be this Christmas before I know it so I better get on with it! 

Anyway onto my DT card for Crafter's Companion and our challenge for you this month is 'Spring'. I think this is the perfect challenge as today has been lovely and sunny in Norfolk today and it did feel like Spring is on its way. 

I have used some beautiful rub-on from the Fairy Opolis range from Crafter's Companion for my image and sentiment.  I have to say these are the best quality rub ons I have ever used.  They are a long way improved from the ones when I first started out card making you would spend ages trying to rub them on your page, these ones just go on like a dream!

Anyway onto my card which is for this week's Pollycraft Challenge and I have set the theme this week of 'Swirls and Pearls' as they are some of my fav embellishments to add to cards.

The image on my card is from the new Swings and Slides range from Pollycraft and is called 'Cute as Cupcake' and I think this little girl is!
