Feeling green

Jozza's turn to set an amazing dare over at DCM this week;

The dare is feeling green. I want to see lots of green on your cards in any shade you like. You could even do a double dare and make a green themed get well card. It's up to you.

Idon't usually use a lot of green but this was a super fun dare :) I didn't manage to make a get well card but did 'go green' by recycling some wrapping paper to make it! This card was made for J's Dad's birthday - Jared chose the dino from the paper to use for the main image.

Paperchase wrapping paper, Papermania brads and stars, Core'dinaions cardstock, inking.
TFL and have a fab weekend!

Oriental Splendour

Running behind with Sue's brilliant dare this week;

I (Sue) thought I would treat you all to a Chinese Take Away, if you’re up for it. No, I’m not talking about food……I’m talking about my dare!

I would like you to make a card with an Oriental influence and the ‘Take Away’ I referred to is the twist in the tail.

When ever Oriental is mentioned most people, including myself immediately reach for Red and Black so I’m taking them away from you and removing them from the pallet of colours that you can use on your card.

Eek! No red or black! Red not being the problem, but no black! After a little consideration, I made this;


and used 'charcoal' instead of black *grins*
BG Ambrosia and Sassafras Sunshine Lollipops papers, Prima and Dunelm flowers, Papermania brads BG rub on, inking and ribbon from stash

Have a great weekend!

Snow Day

I read in one of the online papers that we seem to be having our own Groundhog Day - particularly true here - snow, melt, more snow, melt.... but for now, at least it seems to be staying :)

Boys have had two days off school (school was closed!)- good job too as Jared took one look out of the window yesterday morning and declared that he wasn't going anyway!

So after building a snowman in the back garden, the past two afternoons have been spent on the snow, boys thought the 'sled' was fantastic, I knew there was a reason that we still had a baby bath stashed away in the back of the shed...

That's My Hedge

*technically* next door's. rofl.
