New Award - One Lovely Blog.

Thank you to Risa and Loretta, their links are both on the comments page of my OPH Viva Espana post - for this award. I don't visit so many blogs at the moment, so don't have too many people to pass this award on to, so I am going to be completely selfish and lazy and say Thank You ladies, and send (((hugs))) and smiles ........

TMTA - Frogs

What a wonderful theme over at Think Monday, Think ATC it's Frogs - I say wonderful because think it's so different, plus I have had a couple of froggie stamps for years and not used them much - sooooo, now's the chance. I made these two ATC's, green backgrounds of course and scraps of card from my stash ....why not hop over to TMTA and discover how many different ways you can make Frog ATC's :-)

Sympathy Card

My cousin's mother-in-law just died - here is the card I made to send to them ....

picture stamp is Paper Inspirations, stamped in Black Stazon and chalked, and the background flower, stamped in pale gold is Penny Black, Sympathy stamp is Inkadinkadoo.

One Powerful Hour - Viva Espana

This week I am so proud to be Guest Designer for OPH - hope you like my Flamenco !!

OPH - Lace (Two challenges in one)

One Powerful Hour this week has a lovely challenge. I used a Stamps Happen stamp, painted with Twinkling H20's - took me a bit longer than an hour, but I enjoyed it. I am also entering this for the SBS challenge, Flowers ....the links for all my sisters are down the left hand side of my blog.
Pop over to One Powerful Hour to see all the lovely lace...

OPH - Asian

Over at One Powerful Hour this week the challenge theme is Asian - which is a lovely theme and open to all kinds of interpretation. I have made an ATC with, I think, Asian colours and orchids. I touched the orchids with a Glaze pen to bring out the colours, also the swirls were touched with a Glaze pen to accent the colours on the background.

TMTA - Jewels

Hi folks, the theme over at TMTA this week is Jewels. I toyed with the idea of using one of my cat stamps, but then saw this tiny basque and bead bag, and thought long black gloves, and strings of beads - An Evening Out - the pearls and beads are interspaced with tiny jewels, and the handbag has jewels on it's clasp - think that's enough glitz for one ATC :-)

Theme Thursday - Dance

Theme Thursday has a lovely theme this week - Dance. I made this ATC for the challenge, decorated simply with a glittery carnival mask - don't think it needs any more. The stamped image is from Stampin Up and the written background is Hero Arts..

One Powerful Hour - In Flight

One Powerful Hour has a lovely challenge theme this week, In Flight. I always think this little Inkadinkadoo mouse is flying high. I glittered his clothes and his leaf, gave him a couple of jewel eyes stamped the world Giggle at the side, and mounted him on some pretty butterfly card.

TMTA - Peacock

The theme over on Think Monday, Think ATC today is Peacock. My peacock lady is a Rubbadubbadoo stamp. Pop over to TMTA and look at all the peacock art!!
