Spring Has Sprung!

 

 

Evening all, we’ve had a lovely day here today – sunny and windy and I got 2 loads of washing dry – hooray! I’m turning into my Mum, little things etc etc…

This weeks Papertake challenge is…

Spring has Sprung

It’s the perfect theme after today’s weather and we want to see some lovely Spring cards this week or cards using bright and cheerful Spring colours

There is a fabby prize as always and some great inspiration from the DT so make sure you pop over and have a look

I used one of the images from a Lili of the Valley art pad, this is one of my favourite stamps Balloon Bunny and it’s available now as a pre-coloured topper in the Bunnies pad

 

PTW 53 - Spring Has Sprung

 

 PTW 53 - Spring Has Sprung 2

 

 PTW 53 - Spring Has Sprung 3     PTW 53 - Spring Has Sprung 4

 

 

The shaped front was a bit of an accident but I quite liked it. I cut a couple of elements from another topper (you get 3 of each design in the pads) and decorated the inside

 

Here’s what else I used;

Handwritten Phrases

Circular Sentiment from Set 7 ‘For You’

Grunge Elements stamp

Magnolia Doohickey banner die

Prima Papers

Spellbinders blossom die

Flatback pearls and Cream Cotton Lace from the Ribbon Girl

Flowers from Wild Orchid crafts

Pine cones from our local park!!

It’s the final of the Great British Sewing Bee tonight so I’m looking forward to that. I find it hard to believe that they were the best 10 amateur sewers in the Country out of 1000’s but I suppose it makes good tv if some of them can’t even follow a pattern! I’ve still enjoyed it though, I did a quilting class a few weeks ago and was hand sewing for the first time in many years… I loved it! In fact I’ll take some piccies of what I made and show you shortly

 

Have a lovely evening all

    I've only seen a few episodes of the sewing bee. I used to make all my suits for work, but that was quite a few years ago! The sewing machine is a bit rusty now!

  7. So gorgeous Anne. I love the cute image and beautiful papers.
    I am the same as you when it comes to getting washing dry. I used to live in a flat without a garden so really appreciate the luxury of hanging washing out to dry!
    I hope you enjoy the Sewing Bee, I am recording it to watch later with my daughters.
