And the birthstone challenge for April from Daring Cardmakers is......
DIAMOND
Image: Hero Arts...Cling..Antique Brocade
Feathers....flowers and gems from stash
Bazzill Mystical Flourish
Sentiment...computer generated
I struggled with this one....so it's back to the simples again....because I am definitely not a sparkly diamond kinda girl....the only diamonds I own are in my engagement ring......Mr Mojo seems to have left the building.....probably off somewhere stuffing himself full of easter eggs and all my thoughts at the moment seem to be taken with up with tiles...tiles...tiles and the quicker I make up my mind and get the pesky things ordered....the quicker I can get back in the crafty groove....and just to add to the doom and gloom....the weather here has been dark...rainy and dismal.....so the camera didn't want to play either.
And what am I up to today....just waiting for my two little visitors to arrive....Brodie and Oliver are coming to spend the day with us.....let's hope it stays dry so we can get out and about with The Budster for a while and burn off some of their energy.....3 stir crazy hooligans = bedlam....whereas 3 tired hooligans = a peaceful afternoon all curled up on the sofa watching a DVD.

Catch up with you all tomorrow.....I've been having a little fun with Tim Holtz.

Lovely card Kath. Simply elegant. I know where you are coming from with the choosing of tiles. I went that route a few weeks ago. Mine are the large ones and they do look fabulous when finally on the walls.

ReplyDeleteI love the way you have used the cling stamp to create a border. thanks for being a real diamond with DCM this week :)
Oh Kath, you always put a smile on my face...your card is really elegant..I love it...I know what you mean about tiles...sounds like you went to the same places at the weekend as I did...Im looking for some tiles for my kitchen and oh boy I wish I could wave a magic wand and it all be done...my minds like scrambled eggs over them...I loved the glitter ones but got told it was a big NO NO.lol...so like you Im stuck with the catalogue, ooohing and ahhhing, but gettingg nowhere...why do we do these things to ourselves.lol...dont help that my O/H is in the trade and I keep getting told you cant do that or use that...grrr...oh well just popped on for my daily fix...off to whizz round and get tidied up and then may have some time to craft...hugs Jackie xx

ReplyDeleteSounds like you're going to have a fun time with the boys and Buddy. We had a lovely weekend visiting Poppy and Oliver. Didn't do much but Grampa finished the swing etc. So now Poppy has a swing and pirate boat as well as a chute. She's well impressed!!
