Sweet Stampin - Spring into Easter

It is time for another challenge over at the Sweet Stampin challenge blog. This fortnight we would love you to SPRING into EASTER with a sketch. 

You can do Easter or Spring and we have an optional sketch if you want to use it as long as you combine it with Easter or Spring. 

Our sponsors are Joanna Sheen and Lily of the Valley and both have provided vouchers for us to give away. (Don't you just loooove shopping!) 

I have used one of my favourite LOTV images, Milly - Just for You and used some bright spring colours. 

Check out the Sweet Stampin blog and join in our fun.

Please don't take my sunshine away

Sweet Stampin - Green

It is time for another challenge over at the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog. This fortnight, Team Abi would like you to show us something GREEN, in honour of St Patrick's Day.

We have two Sponsors for this challenge. Our first is our March sponsor Joanna Sheen

 and our second sponsor is The Emerald Faeries, who very generously donated the images we used on our cards. 

I had convinced myself that this little fairy was a boy fairy until I discovered that its name is 'Ebony'. Not a very blokey name if you ask me. I really don't think that fairies would mind being mistaken for the wrong sex. I think that they are just happy to fly around and ..... (all children look away now!) or at least they would be happy if they were real. Not that I actually thought they were real of course.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Fussy and Fancy #58 Fairies

Simply Create Too #9 Spring

Crafty Sentiments Things with Wings

Pop on over to the girls at Sweet Stampin and check out the fabulous creations. I am off to do some cleaning as there seems to be some glittery sparkly stuff on my pillow.  

Feminine Flair #111

This week over at Paper Sundaes our theme is Feminine Flair and we are sponsored by Whiff of Joy. The image I have used is called "Wedding cake" (as if you didn't know). 
So ... find your prettiest papers, your most ladylike images and your most girly embellishments and show us your feminine flair. 
Then ... all I have to do is to find someone who is getting married to give this card to. :-)

I am entering this card in the following challenges: 


Ladybug Crafts Pink and Girly
Divas by Design #23 Favourite Things (Memory Box Dies)
Crafty Purple Frog #36 Pink and Girly
Allsorts #145 Say it with Flowers
The Squirrel and the Fox #13 Love
Note to self: Press 'publish' if you want to publish a post on time. 

Green or Good Luck #110

This week over at Paper Sundaes we are letting you choose between making a Green card or a Good Luck card. I decided to do a Good Luck card coloured in pinks.... but that didn't quite turn out - as you can probably see. 

We are sponsored by Simon Says Stamps and I have used Magnolia Watercan Tilda together with CC Design field fence. AND, can you believe it - I even masked my image. Yes the whole post it note, stamp image, cut it out, stick it on, stamp over it, practice on scrap paper first - yes that Masking technique. (Gee do I think that I am clever) 

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

PartyTime Tuesday #57 Anything Goes

Charisma Cardz #8 Masking Technique (Winner! $20 voucher from Simon Says Stamps. Yippee!) 

Card Makin Mammas #40 Green

Check out the variety of creations that my fellow team members have come up with right here.

Sweet Stampin - Nature

It is time for another challenge over at the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog. This fortnight we would like to you to "get back to Nature". Not literally of course, otherwise we would be called the Sweet Stampin Outdoor Adventure Blog. 

We want you to create a project that shows us ... NATURE, in particular, bugs, bees and ladybirds. 

Our regular monthly sponsor - Joanna Sheen and our challenge sponsor - Crafty Emmas Store have some great prizes to give away.

I have used my Magnolia Tulip Wheelbarrow and for all of you that have this stamp and just don't remember those ladybirds - no need to run and check - you are right - they are a tucked in extra. My T2, T4 and T6 Copic markers got a good workout with this image and the background paper I have used is from My Minds Eye 'On the Bright Side'. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

Magnolia Stamp Lovers Punch challenge

The Cutie Pie Challenge Flowers

Deep Ocean Challenge #20 Spring

Flutterby Wednesday #192 Open 

Do you Stack Up #61 Things with Wings

Don't forget to pop on over to the Sweet Stampin blog and check out what the rest of the design team have come up with.
