I've featured my dog Oscar on some of my cards, he loves to pose - just lazy really!

WAY AROUND THE COMMENT PROBLEM

I think I have found a way to bypass the problem I have been having with comments not working. Still cannot use OpenID though. I hope blogger fix the problem soon.

PROBLEMS

Hi everyone

I am experiencing problems with blogspot. I am unable to leave a comment on anyone's blog and I don't think they can make a comment on mine.

I hope that the problem is being sorted by the customer service team, I have reported it but it's been some days now.

Hope to be back up and running soon but I won't be posting any cards until then. I will however, be visiting your blogs as usual.

Whiff of Joy Challenge

I made this card for this weeks Whiff of Joy Challenge, a fab sketch from Heather. I used paper piecing on my stamped image and matched the backing papers to this. I used tiny red border flowers which I also used in her basket. I made a tiny red ribbon bow for her hair and used big yellow felt flowers for contrast. I used a butterfly punch for the red butterflies.

Whiff of Joy Charms Challenge

Well in Cheshire today it's been very wet. I was expecting thunder but it didn't come, the dog was glad about that. I've done a bit of a watering theme for the Whiff of Joy Charms challenge, probably brought on by the weather. I used:

• Magnolia Tilda with Scarf Stamp
• Windsor & Newton Watercolour paints to colour her
• I used my cricut machine to cut the caterpillar, watering can and backing disc for Tilda
• I used papers from papercraft weekly
  
• I picked up the butterfly charm from a magazine 'free'
• I bought the flowers from a craft stall at a Create and Craft event
• The sentiment was also free with a craft magazine
