Spring Box

Hi, I think Spring is finally here!

 

To encourage it I decided to make a spring scene box.

 

 

Recipe

 

I painted and covered a box with MME Collectable Memorable papers.

All the cuts are from Walk in My Garden except the fence which is a Memory Box die.

The sentiment is from Butterfly Kisses at My Craft Spot.

 

I am  entering this into My Craft Spot Anything Goes Challenge.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Just Chillin'

Good Morning! Hope you had a good weekend and for my friends across the pond hope you are enjoying your long weekend.

It was a scorcher here in the UK! My little craft room gets all the sun and if I open a window all my papers and cuts go flying!! Oh to have air conditioning...

Anyway,today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and our lovely teamie Julia has set a garden challenge.

We want to see a project with a cricut cut from or to do with the garden.

So inspired by our beautiful weather...here is my card...

With the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next weekend and Father's Day a couple of weeks away I thought what better way of combining Dad relaxing in the garden!!

Where did you come from?

Hi Everyone,hope your weekend was good. My Lovely Mum was 70 at the weekend and we went to visit and celebrate with her. We all had lots of fun and laughs. I will share  a couple of the special things I made for  her later in the week!

This year I have decided to try and use the challenges I enter to make cards for my family and friends as I am really poor at letting my creations go!!!

One of my favourite challenge sites is BBTB2 and they have a current challenge to use the caterpillar cut from Walk in my Garden.  I could have gone down the foliage route but decided  on this particular shaped card as it is for a birthday boy this week. We still haven't any snow here yet but we are now waking up to frosty mornings and what little boy doesn't like bugs?

WIMG - caterpillar cut at .75"

Hello Kitty - snowman card  cut at 6"

Twigs embossed

I hand cut the felt as struggled cutting it on the cricut!

I am entering this card over at the following challenges :-

BBTB2 - caterpillar from WIMG

FCCB - Snow Fun - use a snowman or snowflake

Birthday Sundaes - photo inspiration,must use a snowman,(I included blue and green too)

The Cuttlebug Spot - Winter scene to include texture such as felt

Little Scrap Pieces - Anything goes

It's ages since I've managed to enter multiple challenges with one card and you are all my favourite sites! lol

Thanks for stopping by.

I am playing catch up with commenting but have found just a few of my friends that blogger isn't allowing me to comment! Just wanted those of you that I haven't caught up with to know it's not through lack of trying!

Have a great Monday.
