Alicia Bel March Challenge

The Wonderful World of Alicia Bel has a team challenge going in March.  I am in a team of 5 and we are required to each make a card per week.  When our card is uploaded to the group, we will receive from Alicia a jigsaw piece showing a part of one of her shop digis.  This is my first card using two of Alicia's digis, Notepad and Pen.


If you want to check out any of the challenges, please join The Wonderful World of Alicia Bel Facebook Group.

Clean and Simple

AAA Cards CAS Challenge has a Weekend Workout on at the moment and the challenge was to create a card using only a sentiment.

This was the criteria:

Can you create a CAS card using just a sentiment? 

It can be stamped, stencilled, handwritten, computer generated or die cut, but there must be nothing else on your card. Background patterns or papers allowed, but no images. Remember to stay CAS!

Tough - but you can do it!

Add your cards here and show us what you can do.

This is a just for fun event.





I splattered some watered down paint onto the card base with smothering completely.  Happy Birthday is a SU die and I cut it twice, and layered one on top of the other, with the top one slightly to the right, exposing the bottom layer.

I have put my card in AAA Cards CAS Challenge page on Facebook.

Come join this group and also check out their Blog Challenge site.

"Flower" by Some Odd Girl

Join the Club!

One thing that brings us all here is the coloring. Whether you like coloring simple images, spend hours adding details and texture or fall somewhere in between, we all like getting our coloring on.

Join the Some Odd Girl Coloring Club with the Monthly Newsletter, exclusive sales, special events and more. 



My March SOG project is a CAS card using "Flower".  The card base is embossed, (not by me, by the shop I bought them from) with a Heart punch and the image, coloured with Copics.


Have you joined the Some Odd Girl Facebook Group yet.  Our next fun event is  "12 days of Coloring" starting on 27th March 2019. Come and join our Group and have some fun!
I have put this in the Coloring Club album in our Group

Ericraft Stamps - "Party Blower Llama" and "Party Sunglasses Llama"


These are the links in the Etsy EricraftShop for these two great digital stamps.  I have reversed one Party Blower so the blowers are facing out and cool dude Party Sunglasses Llama has wriggled his way into the middle, like a real poser, has to have centre stage lol.  Llamas are in fashion in the craft industry at the moment, but I  do remember my grand-daughter, Verity having a t-shirt on last year that had the saying "No prob llama", so I knew I just had to use it on this card.

SheepSki Designs - March Blog Challenge "Your Favourite Colour/s"

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog, you may have seen me mention my favourite colour before, or even guessed it by the colours I sometimes choose.  It's funny how whenever you don't know what to do with your project, you often gravitate to your favourite colour.

  This month for the Blog Challenge "Your Favourite Colour/s" I have designed a Planner Pocket Pages Divider.   Towards the second half of last year, I started playing around with a planner, thanks to a very good cyber friend of mine.  Well this year, I have progressed a bit more, taking the decorating  a bit more seriously, hence this project.



Front of Pocket Page 


Back of Pocket Page - for the  little pocket showing the bird quote, I have used We are 3 Bird Songs digital paper.


and of course in my Planner

The SheepSki images I have used:
