Sunday Stroll at AYLI

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. 
It's been two weeks since the last challenge at As You Like It..and here we are again ready for another one! This week the theme is....

Summer or Autumn

(Don't forget to explain why)

I have gone for summer. I love the sunshine and pretty flowers in gardens and being able to get out and about without (hopefully) getting too cold. Also summer means cricket and I love watching my daughter play!

So, for today's card I have used a fabulous stamp from Lili of the Valley. This is 'Sunday Stroll'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Craft Creations. I've used a Die namics picket fence die, Creative Expressions winter tree dies, Memory Box Puffy cloud dies, Lawn Fawn sun die and an X-cut flower punch. The sentiment is computer generated as this card is for my Father-In-Laws 80th birthday. 

Our sponsor this time is the fabulous Crafty Ribbons

Farm or Jungle at As You Like It

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. 
It's been two weeks since the last challenge at As You Like It..and here we are again ready for another one! This week the theme is....

Farm Animals or Jungle Animals

(Don't forget to explain why)

I don't really go for either of these so after a root through my digi files and stamps I discovered I had a few more 'Farm' animals than jungle animals.

So, for today's card I have used this adorable cow from DigiStamp Boutique.

I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from Joy Crafts. I've used a Die namics flower die and picket fence die. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

Dreams and Wishes

Good Morning Everyone
It's time for another challenge at As You Like It. This fortnight our theme is...

Digi or Stamped

(Don't forget to tell us why)

I've used an old rubber stamp -  'Dreams and Wishes' from Sugar Nellie for today's card.

I love both digital and rubber stamps but when push comes to shove I do prefer a rubber stamp. It's so good to be able to do a bit of crafting with out putting the computer on!

This is an older stamp from Sugar Nellie - I'm always happy to stamp up a fairy! I've coloured her with promarkers and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings. I've added my favourite mushroom border die from CC designs, and Hunkydory Moonstone flowers. The papers are from Anna Marie Designs.

We are sponsored by the fabulous Dies to Die For

I'd like to enter the following challenges :-
Penny Black and More - Favourite Stamp
Cutie Pie Challenge - Layer It Up
