D is for Dance

Onto D with my alphabet tags and D is for Dance. Always wanted to be a ballet dancer as a small person, had some lessons but not the talent or the build! My background paper is from Booland Designs "Peacock Dreams" and the embellishments from Allegro "Dance" scrap kit. My image is from Whoopsidaisy and is coloured with Promarkers.

Dragon's Dream TIO # 111 - Alice in Wonderland

My background is Eco paints and the Alice stamp is from Artistic Stamper. I added some trimmed childrens' playing cards featuring characters from Alice in Wonderland that I bought in a charity shop for 50p and some ribbon that I found just yesterday. Serendipity at work I think.
Thank you for stopping by, all the comments you leave are much appreciated.

Crafty Ann's Challenge # 61 - Spring into Spring

Over at Crafty Ann's this week the challenge is to think Spring. I have used Ann's lovely vase of Spring flowers and sentiment together with a quote from Wordsworth as my topper. I coloured the flowers with Promarkers. The backing paper on my twisted easel card is from K & Co. and I cut the butterflies and punched the border from the same sheet. Do take a look at the designs from the team and let us see your Springtime creation.

On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - the Netherlands

The Netherlands for me means flowers and Amsterdam means push bikes. My OH worked there for 12 months and when I went to stay  bikes were THE mode of transport.My bike is a stamp made by Flower Soft and coloured using Promarkers, the tress are stamps from Crafyt Individuals and the tulip stamps are from Sheena Douglas. My page is printed from Sheena's CD and the tulips and daisies pockets is made using a transfer of hers. Thank you all for the kind comments you leave, I do enjoy seeing what all you talented crafters can do.

On Our Travels with Darcy's Postcard Challenge - Canada

Thought I should start this week by clearing up last weeks puzzle. I spent years trying to do it before I got to sixth form and learned what Euler had proved. I won't make you wait  but will tell you he proved that it was impossible! The good burgers on their Sunday stroll had to cross one bridge twice.
Onto this weeks country, Canada. I lived there for about four years, in Toronto, and loved it. We still have close family there so visit every year.
My scene is cottage country. I stamped it using 9 different stamps from "Country set" by Stampscapes and "Nature set 1" from A Stamp in the Hand Co. I stamped using Versifine Vintage Sepia and distressed with Vintage Photo.
My page is depicting what I think is one of the highlights of the year in Canada the Fall colours. I stamped and distressed using a number of DInks. The leaf on the pocket is metal and coloured with alcohol inks.
Thank you all so much for your kind remarks you have made. I am so enjoying this challenge and seeing all of your fabulous work.
