Time for a new Little Miss Muffet Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

I've used this cute Pick Me Up Truck and coloured it with Promarkers.  Papers are from Polkadoodles - Great Outdoors A5 pad - I've chopped and changed one of the sheets to get the imagery that I wanted and then added some wooden stars from my stash and some twine.

Dad's 70th - T is for

This is the next to last page of the 70th Birthday card I made my Dad earlier this year.  This one is the letter T from the word sevenTy and features Professor Wiggingson and Lightbulb.  Both have been coloured with promarkers and I've used papers that I found in my stash (and had far too long) for the background.


The large letter T is a chipboard letter, coloured with a black marker and the other letters have been cut using my Sizzix Round-A-Bout alphabet set.

Final week next week - the letter Y!  I'd like to enter the following:

Daring Card Makers - Embossing

It's my turn to host the current Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme that I've chosen is:

Embossing

I've used a Sizzix embossing folder as my background and then added various X Cut die stars and some tiny punched stars plus some circle die cuts, using up random bits of papers and kraft card from my stash plus some buttons and waxed cord, also from my stash.  The non-kraft papers are from a now retired Funky Hand download (and probably my all time favourite!) Boys and Girls.
