About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

Creative Fingers 257 - anything goes

Creative Fingers 257 - anything goes
https://creativefingerschallengeblog.blogspot.com/

It is getting harder trying to make hand made cards as my eyes are bad and my hands are worse in the cold weather 


I coloured white card with chalks.  Drew butterflies through stencil and coloured with markers.  Added punched border and Ching Chou Kuik precoloured digi stamp Crimson Holly.  Stamped Happy birthday.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

I followed sketch 610 at Try Stampin or not on Tuesday (I rotated the sketch)

I would also like to add my card to the following:

Margret, another great take on our Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch! I love how you picked up on the butterflies in your main image to add them as an embellishment on your card!! Thank you for sharing yet another one of your creations with us!!! I know how hard it is to craft as we get older, while inside of us has all these creative ideas just wanting to come out. I keep upping my reading glass script and find it harder to use my thumbs as each year passes... but like you, I just HAVE to create! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. -Donna
