Sentimental Sundays - Use Lace/Doily
http://sentimentalsundays.blogspot.co.nz/2014/05/challenge-205-shabby-chic-or-use.html

I have used a paper from MME.  The doily is from my stash.  The image is from Little Miss Muffet and coloured with copic markers.  I added some lace which I coloured with Distress Ink - Tattered Rose as I didn't like the original colour of the lace!  I added a sentiment which I typed on the computer.

Sunny Sunflowers

Sunflowers just seem to give that really sunny summery feeling!  I feel a bit summery here today as the sun is shining - a fairly rare occurrence in autumn!

Crafting For All Seasons - Lots Of Layers
http://craftingforallseasons.blogspot.co.nz/2014/04/challenge-76-lots-of-layers.html

I have used a paper from DCWV for the background together with an offcut of a paper from MME.  The image is from Scribbles Designs.  It was nice to do a card using a Scribbles image that wasn't actually a Design Team card for a Scribbles Designs challenge!  I coloured the image with copic markers and matted using yellow cardstock.  I have added some rhinestones from Rosie's Studio to finish.

Thinking Of You

I seem to be needing Thinking of You cards at the moment.  Unfortunately, in the past few days two acquaintances have passed away - one of which was younger than me.
