week 118 at Allsorts - Back to School

Wow Saturday again where do the days go!!!

Back to School is the theme here at Allsorts this week and its Fleurs Challenge...

I have had this adorable image from Mo Manning for ages and it was just perfect for using on my card ,this card is for my neighbours daughter she starts school in reception in September and I thought it would be nice to give her a little card to remember the day

The dP is my minds eye - quite contrary collection and the stickers are doodlebug

this week we are sponsored by

LETRASET who are giving away a set of Aquamarkers

right now to get on with some more cards see you soon...



Week 117 a Allsorts - youve been framed

Good Morning!!

This week at allsorts it is Brendas turn to host the challenge which this week is to encorporate a frame on your project...

This week I went through my stash and found a goody bag from Craftworkcards everything as always so well co-ordinated so I couldnt really go wrong!!

The 'frame' was made by die cutting an apature from the design paper mounting it onto a black card blank and then adding the diecut flowers into it, some liquid pearls and a sentiment from lili of the valley and I was done simple, quick but quite effective....

This week we are sponsored by

Molly Blooms

and

Sir Stampalot

so come and join in the fun, see you there



Allsorts - Anything but a card

Good Morning

Time for another challenge at Allsorts...

This week we would like you to focus on anything thats not a card..

Please excuse the terrible photo but this is  a small notepad I have altered to give as a gift the papers are from dovecraft and are really well co-ordinated I covered the chipboard frame with a co-ordinating paper and placed a plain prima flower in the centre with a button for the centre

I hope you can join us this week and we look forward to visiting your entries

Free and Easy at Allsorts

Hope you  have all had a great week

we are still on with the Free and Easy theme this month and my card this week is my brothers birthday card now he doesnt do fussy and is not a very fussy person so this CAS inspired card along with his love of Little Big Planet and remaking music videos with his friend it was the inspiration for this clean and very simple card

I used my graphics programme to edit 'sackboy' into the corner of my cardstock then simply cut out mounted on a peice of co-ordinating cardstock and that was it
