GDT Week 2 Its Buttons & Bows at Crafty Catz

Good morning all,

 

I hope you are all well.  My little man has had a virus and a temperature of between 38.6 and 40 degrees all week.  We have been to docs & A&E and this is the 7th night we have hardly slept a wink.  I am not the best sleeper anyway, but no sleep is turning me into a grumpy old woman not to mention the fact i have pulled a muscle in my back so hubby and little man are keeping well out my way today! lol

 

Anyway, the reason i'm here is because there is a new fabby challenge over at Crafty Catz and i am still GDT so i have a little card to show you too.

 

The theme this week is: Buttons & Bows (at least one of each). Easy right?

 

The sponsor is Mulberry Crafts and the winner will receive this fab bag of crafting goodies.

 

 

For my card, i used a Sassy Studio Designs image called Elizabeth Bennett.  I love her and i teamed her up with this beautiful 'freebie' sentiment from the fabulous Mummylade.  Thank you so much :D

 

Challenges i would like to enter:

Simply Create Linky Party #17
Crafting When We Can challenge #35 Favourite Things ( This is my favourite female image and sentiment).
 Raise The Bar Challenge #126 1/1-1 (one image, one ribbon & one button).
Tuesday Throwdown #129 Shiny and New (use new stuff!) (I used new ribbon & new colours i just added to my Copic range).

 

It would be great if you joined in with the fun this week and if you take a peek over at Crafty Catz you won't be disappointed with the beautiful inspiration from the talented DT.

 

Thank you for visiting me today. 

 

Hugs, Jill x

 

 

 

 

Waterfall card

Good afternoon everyone! 

I hope you are all still enjoying the sunshine and hope you had a great weekend. I have been experimenting in the craft room!  I was actually blog hopping a couple of days ago and saw a waterfall card and was inspired and just knew that i had to have a go myself.  A few pieces of cardstock, some Alla Prima paper, a Hero Arts flower stamp and sentiment, a bit of Tim Holtz distress ink here and there and voila, here is my card. 

It is not the best card design to take photos of.  Obviously, it would be ideal to show you a video of it opening and closing and if i am brave enough, i will upload one later on tonight!  For now, i have a few piccies for you :)

Here it is as i start to pull the tag to open it:

This is it will the tag full entended and the sentiment printed inside on display:

And the tag back in its original position:
