ISC summer challenge week

It's been a long week so far! We did actually have some sunshine in between the showers though. It's been the first sign of summer in ages! 
Today I have the cards that I made for the summer challenge week on ISC 


Lets get fruity challenge

Checkered past

Olympics theme

Birds of a feather

All creatures great and small (a project about a pet)

There's still a few challenges that I haven't got to, maybe I'll have time today!


Have a great weekend :)

Summer card

Good morning everyone! We have had way too much rain again lately. I thought I would make my own sunshine by making a summer card. I used some gems so I'm entering this into the Simon says stamp - crowns/gems challenge and also to Docerela Creations challenge of summer

I made a Father's day card too so I'm entering it into the male challenge on  C.R.A.F.T

It was for a challenge but I can't remember which one!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Friday everyone! I made these two cards from scraps left over from this LO. So I'm entering them into the scraps challenge on Scrapbookers Anonymous.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Two cards...

Hello all, it's been a while since I posted here. We got off to a bad start to the new year and have had some work and health problems. They are actually still going on and if you could send some prayers I would really appreciate it.

Anyway, due to problems and lack of crafting mojo here are only my second and third cards of this year!

Still no scrapbook pages, oh well.

Thanks for stopping by and sorry I haven't been around your blogs in so long.

There's magic in the air - punch it

A you probably guessed, the challenge this week on There's magic in the air is to use punches (border, flowers, leaves etc) along with the very cute Joyful Ride image. For my card I used a butterfly and a border punch and some papers from MME.

There is a lovely flower punch to be won this week so I hope you can come and play along!

Thanks for stopping by :)
