Firstly an apology for not posting on Friday. I have been very busy at work trying to finish a grant application and so haven't had time for crafting. This weekend has also been busy as Alex went to a nursery friend's birthday party yesterday morning.
We went to the park with friends in the afternoon
and today we went to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park where we got to stroke this Wallaby
Admire the tigers,
lions
and cappybara
and got up close and personal with the lemurs.
Alex also had fun on the tree fort and the climbing frame.
Despite having a busy weekend I did manage to make a couple of cards, both of which are being used as my DT entries for Quirky Crafts. The challenge this time is fluorishes and embossing. I couldn't resist this image from our sponsor, Stitchy Bear, for a First Day at school card for Alex (I still can't believe he is starting school in just over a week's time!). I went with primary colours for the card to make it appropriate for him, and added gold stars because when I was at school I always wanted to earn a gold star for my work! I am also entering this card into
Fresh Brewed 'embossing',
Ginergersnap 'primary colours',
Penny's challenge 'back to school',
DYSU 'card for a boy or man',
Paper play 'back to school',
All sorts 'back to school',
Stamp something 'back to school',
PaperCutz 'wish upon a star',
Sew Many Cards 'edge punch' challenges and the card follows
Simon Says Stamp's sketch.
This second one also fits with
Less is More, where the challenge was to use 3 (or more past challenges) to make your CAS card. Mine is a one layer card, which combines challenges 6 (off the edge), 15 (embossing - the wings are heat embossed with hologram super sparkle embossing powder), 23 (something with legs), 28 (use ink), 29 (somthing that moves) and 1 (pink, black and white - the wings are a purply pink, the colour has just changed slightly with the embossing). This card is for one of Alex's friends, who apparently is into fairies! I am also entering this into
Crafty Creations 'animal' challenge. That is all from me. Have a great bank holiday everyone.
Love,
Caro
