A Spoonfull of Sugar – # 44 EASTER

We have a very appropriate challenge for you this week over at A Spoonful of SugarEaster. There is another fabulous prize on offer, £10 voucher from Silly Monkey Crafts so pop over and have a look at the other DT’s cards – they’re amazing (as always). Our GDT this week was chosen by Joanne and her name is Rebecca Clews. Her blog is gorgeous so go and have a wee look.

I have made a card using the gorgeous little Chick stamp set, Chick Ears. I love these little chicks. I have decouped him and glittered his bunny ears with Glamour Dust and diamond glazed the egg. I have used my trusty SU! scallop punch along the front panel of the card and the green gingham paper is from a big bundle I bought at Costco ages ago. Most of it is horrible but there are a few nice sheets in there.
Hope you can join in the challenge.
Hugs,
Caryn xx

Truly Scrumptious and Stamp Something!!

Gosh, it seems like AGES since I blogged but it’s only been two days!!! I had a really good hippity hop around blogland today and managed to catch up with most of me faves! We have had the most glorious weather the past few days here on the Wirral so the kids have barely been in the house. As we come in the back door from school they’re straight out through the front and on their bikees and scooters!! It’s lovley to see after what seems like months of grey skies and bitterly cold winds.
For the card I have made tonight I have followed the sketch over at Truly Scrumptious. It’s a great sketch this one, I enjoyed it, lots of scope! As the main colour is green, I am also submitting it over at Stamp Something whose challenge is erm, something GREEN!
Right, I’m off to lie down. My head seems to have gone all wibbly wobbly as if I’m drunk (which I can assure you I’m not!). I think I’ve been too long round the silicone glue!!
