DAK #107 A bookmark

                                                  Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today

This is the first of my DT posts which I have to share today.

This is for Challenge #107 at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is for a bookmark, there is always the Anything Goes option too.


I am sharing a bookmark which I stitched some time ago using a kit from Lanarte which has been waiting in my to be fully finished pile. I trimmed the edges so they were an equal size and then created the fraying.

Critter Crazy DT #103

                                            Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. 

This is for the Critter Crazy Challenge where anything with a Critter can be used. I am a little late posting as the challenge started on Wednesday.


It's all about the butterflies for me this month.
I used a Honeydoo Crafts stamp called Butterfly border which I coloured with alcohol markers, I tried to get them to match the papers which are from the First Edition Paper Flowers pad.
The sentiment is from a Julie Hickey Designs set called Sentiment Banners and I chopped one end off to make it a straight edge.

I am entering my card at Allsorts in the Anything Goes option
and at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge which is Anything Goes
