Critter Crazy #100 Birthday Blog Hop

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today

 Critter Crazy Challenge are celebrating our 100th challenge this month, we also have a special theme of a birthday card with any critter on it and there are extra top picks this month too.

Critter is not really a word we use in the UK but basically it's any creature real or fantasy and it has to be the main focal point on your card.

Here is my card

I used What a Hoot! from Whimsy Stamps which was coloured with alcohol markers.

Design papers are Nitwits Up, Up and Away

Turquoise card is from Dragons Papercraft

Sentiment - Stampin Up - Sending Smiles

Stars - JHD Glossies

Ribbon and twine is from my stash

Square stitched die - The Works

I am entering my card in the following challenges

SSW2 Sketch 305

                                          Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

I have been a bit AWOL as I had a lovely week exploring the Norwegian Fjords earlier this month and it's been a struggle to get back into the normal routine.

So here I am with an unscheduled post to share my second DT card for our challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 this month, this is probably one of my favourite cards I have made so far this year.

My image and sentiment are from a Daisy Mae Lovely Ladies set that was free with issue 145 of Creative Stamping, smaller versions of a previous release so a better size for me as I don't often make large cards. The image was coloured with Copic alcohol markers

Papers are Daisy Mae Designs Loose Ladies and  the coloured card came from Craftwork Cards.

Ribbon is from stash and probably from the Hobby House.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges

Allsorts #826 - Seaside or Anything Goes

Creative Knockouts #549 - Summer Fun

NBUS #75 - my fiist play with these stamps

Stamping Sensations - Furry Friends or Anything Goes

We Love Stamping - Nature Inspired or Anything Goes

Today I am grateful for the Anything Goes option

Critter Crazy Challenge #99

  Hello and welcome to my second DT card of the day.

This is my card for Critter Crazy Challenge 99, critter is not really a word we use in the UK but basically it's any creature real or fantasy and it has to be the main focal point on your card.

I made this card for my brother and it's a Tower Pillar Card whcih was fairly easy to assemble.

The green card is Bazzill Basics  and the papers and focal image came from the Spring Birds kit which was free with issue 266 of Simply Cards and Papercraft.

Sentiments are Julie Hickey Designs which I embossed with Wow! Polished Gold

Do Al(l) Kreatives Challenge 102

  Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

I am here with my first DT card of the day. Today challenge 102 begins over at Do Al(l) Kreatives where we have a hedgehog theme.

Here is my card

I definitely shopped my stash for this one, there is some very vintage product used which if I am honest was really enjoyable.

My main image is from a Country Companions decoupage sheet which I have matted onto some green bazzill basics card.

The paper is Bo Bunny Jasmyne Botanical from 2010 and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards which I coloured with a copic marker.

Ribbons are from my extensive collection (lol!) as are the pearls 

Circle dies are from Julie Hickey Designs Layers Frames and Banners
