SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE - SPRING

Hello once again.

A new challenge at SUNNY DAY CRAFTING begins today.
**The challenges are now monthly at SDC instead of weekly.**

The theme this month is...

SPRING with an ANYTHING GOES option.

So here is my DT inspiration for you....

 I made a 6x6 base card, cut an apperture out the centre front.
I die cut a bouquet topper from a small pad in my stash.
I placed this on the inside on top of a base layer.
I used sticky foam strips to place the topper to give dimension.
I put a 'Spring' sentiment under the aperture on the front.

I hope you like it and you will join in with our challenge.

Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy crafting!!

Well hello on this very cold, frosty day!

Today sees the start of another new challenge at

The challenge this week is...

SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT

There is also the option to create a different project if Scrapbooking is not your thing.

Well I didnt think it was mine, and still dont lol.

But I wanted to give it a shot and see.

I had no idea what I was doing!!

I just laid everyting down on the main background paper and hoped for the best!

I really do not think I have picked up the concept fully of what I am supposed to be doing.

This was wayyyyyyyyy out of my comfort zone!

But I tried...and here is my result!

I have been told for a first attempt I did an excellent job.

I think they were just being kind LOL.

But thank you for the support, it is appreciated!

Using FLUMP n TIC

 I coloured the image using Copics.
I made a 6x6 base card in white, layered the front in a pretty design paper.
I die cut the image to create a topper and coloured the background in a pale mint green.
I cut a piece of striped paper to make a diagonal layer under the topper.
Put a pale pink bow in the top right corner.
Stamped a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment onto a piece card cut into a banner shape and coloured the background again with mint green.
And thats my card.
