Unicorn Challenge Blog - theme Perfectly Pink

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week started? I hope everything is well with you and your family. I am slowly sorting out the room the bunnies used and then we can move back in all the things that are stored in there.

The new challenge starts on the Unicorn Challenge blog and the theme this time is Perfectly Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Well what do you do when you have hexagons left over? You make a card with them of course. The ribbon was in my stash and I only just had enough. I wanted to make a DL card. 

The flamingos came from the bonus papers from an older issue of Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. All the other papers were in my stash of bits and pieces. 

The Hexagon dies came from an issue of Crafter's Companion Inspiration magazine. 

The heart die came in a set from Creative Expressions. 

The sentiment was cut with a Tattered Lace die. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

I would like to enter Weeks 301 and 302 at Pixie's Snippets Playground. 

Happy Crafting

Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge Blog - Geometric Shapes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

Where is the time going it is Thursday already. Today I am having lunch with a friend to celebrate her birthday. I hope you have something nice planned.

The new challenge starts on the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog and the theme for the next fortnight is Geometric shapes.

I used some of the bonus papers I had printed for a card for Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. I didn't have quite enough for the background of the card so I reprinted one of the patterns and made it bigger to fit the card. 

I cut the papers with some hexagon dies that came with one of the Crafter's Companion Inspiration Magazines. I do love the flamingos. 

The sentiment came from the bonus papers to. It was cut out with one of the Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. 

Yesterday I helped my friend (she is in the middle) as she led a felting workshop. The ladies all made four coasters and a flower to make a brooch. I got to bring home a poppy I had helped to make. When it is finished I will share a photo of it with you. I have some other dates lined up to help it is lots of fun. 

I was quite pleased with how this tropical themed card turned out. I do like using hexagons on cards. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine - Free papers issue 155

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Sunday. It seems a bit cooler here today so it will be easier to get some of the jobs done in the house. I am hoping to get my new craft storage into place today. It is going to be quite a big job.

Quite a while ago now I was sent the free bonus papers that are in this month's edition of Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine (Issue 155). The papers have a tropical theme.

I loved the lovely summery papers that I was sent. The ruffle ribbon was in my stash. 

I made  feature of the flamingos across the centre of the card. I do like my mats and layers. I used pink and turquoise card to create them., 

These are the flamingos at Bristol Zoo. I took this picture last week when we visited the Zoo which will be the venue for our daughter and her fiance's wedding this time next year. 

My card didn't make it into the magazine but it was featured on the Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine Facebook page. This is where this picture has come from. 

I hope that you enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Happy Crafting
