Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 370

Good afternoon crafty friends.  If it has snowed near you has it all gone now?  We still have a bit on the ground here, but I think it will be gone by the end of the day!

There is a fabulous challenge over at Penny's starting today and the theme is
Anything Goes.  Please come along and join in the fun.

Here is my contribution...


I decided to us this image from our one of our sponsors, StarStampz for my planner.  I love how this page turned out.  This cutie is coloured in with Pro-Markers and I have used washi tape, stickers, stamps and die-cuts to decorate.

Here Kitty, Kitty!

Good afternoon crafty friends.  We still have snow here in Buxton.  My lad Brandon is praying for yet another snow day tomorrow - he's had three already!  I've only had one on Friday lol.  Hope everyone is managing to stay warm.

I have a cute card to share today...



The idea came into my head for the background of the card to use up my scraps (which I had plenty of).  I just used my square dies to make the white background squares and the DP scrap squares.  It was fun to do and I like that I'm just not binning these scraps.  Sorry, another image that I don't know where from, but it is coloured with Pro-Markers.  The sentiments are LOTV tags.

Challenges:-

AYLI - Single or Multiple Layers (multiple for me as I love the detail and depth of different layers)
Cards Galore Encore - Anything Goes
Cardz for Galz - Furry Friends
Corrosive Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafting with an Attitude - Anything Goes
Digi Choosday - Anything Goes

Sweet Fairy Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends.  Hope you are all well.

I just want to thank you all for the lovely messages of support from my last post.  I really appreciate them.  They really made me feel better.  I did imagine, though, that there were quite a few also suffering with depression every now and then.  Probably like me there are good and bad days and sometimes really bad days.  Depression is a lot more common than I ever thought.

Thank god for crafting as it does help and on that note, I have this card to share....


My apologies again as I don't know where this image is from.  I did win her from somewhere and printed it out to store away.  She is coloured with ProMarkers.  The papers are Echo Park Celebrate Spring.

Challenges:-

Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes
AYLI- Favourite way to add Sentiment - (I like to stamp it on a piece of card then layer it up.)
C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Mother's Day/Female
Corrosive Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
Digi Choosday - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenges - Things with Wings
Passion for ProMarkers - Have a Heart (there are hearts on the fairy's antennas)
Polkadoodles - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.

HELLO!!!

Hello everyone.  I feel like I've been gone for so long.  I do hope you are all well and happy.  I got a new job and it's more hours so that took me away from my crafting.  But I'm in the swing of it now and hoping that I can continue to craft more now.

Also, I suffer with depression and in the last couple of months it has gradually got worse.  It has also affected my memory as I am constantly getting appointments wrong which has been so stressful!   I am on antidepressants but they seem to be not helping me anymore.  I am now going to see a Doctor and get some more help.  I think that getting back to crafting will also help!! :)

On a much cheerful note I have a card to share!



I do apologise but I can't remember where this image is from, she is however, coloured in with ProMarkers.  The papers are new and I treated myself to them because they remind me of Spring (which I hope is on the way soon).  They are Echo Park Celebrate Spring.

Challenges:-

A Bit More Time to Craft - Anything Goes
AYLI - Favourite Way to Add a Sentiment (I like to stamp it on a piece of card and layer it up)
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Mother's Day or Female
