Wet Lego weekend!

Well the weather has been miserable most of the weekend so we have spent the time cleaning, cooking, shopping, going to church and indoor play areas and playing with lego!  Alex has built some wonderfully strange and fantastic vehicles and had a great time doing it...I remember spending hours with lego as a child so it is nice to see him doing the same.

Crafting wise it is time for another Quirky Crafts challenge...this time it was Diane's turn to set the challenge and she chose handmade flowers and ribbons.  Punches and die cuts are OK, but no shop bought flowers.  I made a tag using the 1960s image from Paper Pretties (this week's sponsor), coloured with distress inks and promarkers, and punched loads of little flowers from basic gray paper.  The flower at the bottom was made from punching 5 sheets of paper, colouring them with distress inks, spritzing them with water, scrunching them up and then fixing them together with a brad.  Finally I finished it off with pearls, and a ribbon attached using a brad.  I am also entering this into Speedy Fox's 'vintage', CCT 'punch drunk', Fresh brewed 'anything goes' and MTTC 'hats or handbags' (the image contains both!).

My wedding anniversary is also coming up so I made this card for my husband.  I used an Anita's stamp, cut out the heart image at the centre and layered the Tim Holtz metal wings and heart, which I coloured with alcohol ink. Behind the hole at the centre I layered a blue heart on the underlying card.  I am entering this into Less is more 'shiny', crafty creations 'how charming', Stampavie 'something with wings'

and here is the close up of the hole in the front of the card as I am also entering it into DCM 'a hole in one'. That is all from me for now. Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro
