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
A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge 54

- Xcut punch for the fancy border

Lili of th Valley Thursday Challenge
I made this card for the Lili of the Valley Thursday Challenge. I used a pink and white check backing paper on a white card. I've added two bars of brown and white spot card and then mounted a plain pink square onto a brown and white spot square. I used Stampabilities Bunny Bath stamp, coloured it with watercolour paints then cut and coloured a second bath and decoupaged this onto the image. I added a piece of towelling over the side of the bath and made a towelling bath rug which I stamped the sentiment onto. I decorated the corners with pink paper flowers.
A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge 49
This is my first challenge I have entered. I used green backing paper from Kay & Co. The image is a flower fairy 'Zinnia', stamps and CD can be obtained from Crafters Companion. I finished the card with blue and green ribbon and green paper roses and added the sentiment and coloured the text in green.

For this card I used one of the fabulous Sugar Nelli stamps only available from 'Funky Kits'. I coloured the image with watercolour pens and added a silk flower and leaves and a shrinked down sentiment. Lace and ribbon that I had in my odds and ends box was added. Checked backing paper is from Kay & Co.
I made this card for one of the challenges but was too late to enter. The decoupage fairy image is from the Crafter's Companion Flower Fairies CD. I mounted this on backing paper which I aged with a tea bag, this was then mounted onto corrugated square and placed onto a deep brown card. I added gem centred felt flowers and amber coloured gems.
