Celebration of life

Hi guys,

I bought some Kraft cards the other day and decided to try using one of them. I wanted a CAS design - and this is what I created:

So I stamped the sentiment into the centre of the card, and simply added some birthday stickers - very CAS indeed.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

notjustcards - Anything Goes

SimplyLessisMoore #400 Small images (the stickers are quite small)

sweetstampin' - you've got to have friends

And I have this little photo to share with you of Doris looking very guilty haha (it is the radish that she is eating and it self-seeded so is for her to eat anyway but that look!).

Thanks for looking,

Under the sea

So it is father's day here in the UK. I did make cards for everybody, but then I moved my craft room and the cards disappeared. So I made a new one for Father-in-law:

I needed to make this card reasonably quickly, so I stenciled the background using a black glitter paste, purposefully going over the edges in places to give a bit of a distressed effect. I am starting to think I should have made it a little more pronounced or just not bothered at all - what do you all think?

I then added a hunkydory topper, peel-offs and some pearls.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

modsquad - Masculine Nautical

craftycatz #466 Male/Father's Day

SOS #397 Stencil me this

TIOT - It's a mans world

dragonflydreams - For a man/boy

notjustcards - Anything goes

I also have a video of Henry to share with you :)

Also some pictures - firstly of me after sanding back a chair that I am upcycling:

And then Togo and Doris:

 Togo is a H.maculata tarantula spiderling, but he is a reasonable size now. We have had him since mid January when he was only about 1cm legspan. He is now much bigger and rather fluffy :)

Thanks for looking,
