A tri shutter wedding card for my niece, using the colours she had chosen (black, white and green) for her wedding. I love tri shutter cards but very seldom make them, but for this occasion, I thought it was an appropriate fold. I have had this card in my non published file for a while and decided this was a good time to post it.  The sentiment is a very old Lexi's Creations digital one I have had for many years.

I made this album to give to my older sister for her April birthday, however, a nasty little thing called a coronavirus decided to explore our planet and cancel our get together. So, we agreed to celebrate when things return to some normalcy. The waterfall pages contain sentiments and pictures of the two of us through the decades.

ATG. As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece,  some home decor as long as it meets the 'Celebrations' theme.

I choose to celebrate a best friend who I have known since grade 9, oh so many years ago. I have made this card while in COVID-19 seclusion and sent it to her as a small attempt to bring some cheer during this Shut Down of 2020, a just because  card.

I used a die-cut for the black swirls and the frame of the burlap sentiment which came from an old paper pack. The tag came from my stash, origin unknown. The stamped words on the tag are from Stampin Ups 'Amazing You' and ' Express Yourself' stamp sets.

Have a great shut-in- day!

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #255 Green Album

Angela is hosting today's challenge with the theme 'Anything But A Card', therefore. anything you enter is fine, a scrap layout, mixed medium piece, or some home decor, as long as it is not a card.

I made this waterfall album for a dear friend and fellow crafter as a gift. The waterfall pages contain 'sayings', not pictures, some humorous, some not.  Had some trouble with the paper as I ran out of it and had to use my printer to print out enough to finish the project. Thanks be, my copier was up to the job and the colours remained true. Was pulling my hair out at time lol!

Marlene is hosting today's challenge, Easter.

I chose a wonderful digital stamp from Beccy's Place for my Easter image. This image is upgraded from a previous version but both are wonderful.  I love the bunny, he is just so much fun.  The image was pre-coloured so I just added additional shadows to it. The flower die was a gift from a dear friend. Hope you like!

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #253 Spring

Welcome to Crafty Cardmakers challenge #253 Spring. As usual, anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or some home decor. It must, however, meet the challenge theme.   
                  Judy is hosting the challenge.

What can be more exciting than the coming of spring, new growth, rain instead of snow, higher temperatures, longer days!  I know all countries do not have to go through a massive change in temperature but ask my aching bones from shovelling snow for 5 months, slipping along sidewalks, dressing in multiple layers and walking the dog no matter what. Spring is always so welcome.  On another note this spring has brought us something different, please take care out there and stay safe.

OK on to better things:

 Sentiment
I choose this delightful digital fairy image from Creative Fantasy Art Designs titled Fantasy Fae Stamp26. I coloured the image with Copic markers, used a Spellbinders die for the frame, added some ribbon for the upright border and punched a couple of butterflies! I used another die-cut to frame the Stampin Up sentiment.  Quite pleased with the result and do hope you join us in another fun challenge.
