A bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog - Challenge 124 - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? My hubby has a couple of days off. Today we have the excitement of getting our eyes tested. I noticed a significant difference with my eyes so the time is right. 

Today Challenge 174 starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are fantastic digi papers on offer as prizes. 

 I used the Gingham papers for my creation. 

Our challenges are lots of fun. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the challenge blog

Some time ago I treated myself to a magazine that had a Flower Fairy paper collection.

The tags were left over from the kit so I decided to put them together to make a card. 

This is a Crafter's Companion die. 

My mother-in-law loves the flower fairies. I might just save this until next year for her. By then I might well have made her something else she is a very special lady. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Harebell Flower Fairy Birthday Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you doing? Has much changed for you? We have been to visit friends in their house.  One evening this week we are having some friends round to have a drink in the garden. These are people we have been having Zoom meetings with. It is so nice to be able to meet in person. 

I haven't completely tidied my craft stash but I have done odd bits of sorting. When I was going through one of my boxes I found a Flower Fairy paper kit. Well I just had to use it. 

I used the Harebell Flower fairy image and matching paper from the kit. A couple of years ago we went to an exhibition of the original Flower Fairy paintings by Cicely Mary Barker at Mottisfont National Trust. I have always liked these painting. It was so lovely to see them for real. 

I added this Spellbinder die to the design. The cobwebby ribbon was in my stash.

I made this card with my mother-in-law in mind she shares my love of the flower fairies. In the end I made her a card with my own drawing of some poppies she loves poppies too. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a good week.

Flower Fairies Gift Collection from Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Weekend. I hope you are doing something nice. Yesterday we visited our daughter and her new husband. They have been married for exactly a week. Doesn't time go by quickly. We did have a brilliant time at the wedding. We have lots of lovely memories to cherish.

Well I keep treating myself to crafty bits and pieces the latest being the August issue of Cardmaking & Papercraft Magazine with its Flower Fairy Gift Collection. I remember the flower fairies from my youth and I know my mother-in-law loves them too.

The gorgeous paper came with the kit. There is gold foiling on the frames of the images so I added gold and purple mats and layers. 

This is a small picture of a Harebell. 

This is the Harebell Fairy she is very pretty. The paintings of the flower fairies were done in the 1920's by Cicely Mary Barker. 

The sentiment was cut with a a Spellbinders die I do like the font. 

I was very pleased with how this card turned out. There are lots of elements left in the kit so I will be making some more cards and other things. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Happy Crafting
