Happy Easter @ OBAG

Hello again folks you can tell it's almost time for another Bank Holiday as the weather has got cold!! I've been a bit absent as I've been working for a change, not got back in that routine yet!

Today it's time for a new challenge at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

Francesca is hosting with the theme

Happy Easter

My card is a real Oldie but goodie as I actually coloured this image in last Easter to use, but when I went to match it to my papers - it didn't! lol Not one to throw anything away I put it to one side and low and behold I just happened to buy papers that were a perfect match during the course of the year lol !!

 I love this cute Teddy Bo image, I can remember the card I made with it last year! This time I decided to roll out the rolled roses again, it's ages since I made any (no doubt you will be seeing them regularly again for a while now as I enter another phase!) I made them with Stampin' Up card and they really hold together nicely. The Swirls are Cheery Lynn and the papers MME that I bought sometime during the last year.

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details plus news on the prize and some fabulous inspiration from the girls. Francesca has given it a fab new makeover and we have a couple of new members to our little DT family.

Remember to use something on your card that is at least 6 months old to be eligible for the prize and don't forget to tell us what it is in your post.

That's all from me, thank you so much for your lovely comments and support and hopefully I will have a bit more time to blog this next week.

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Hello everyone, I'm back with my third post in a row this week and this time its for

MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES

EASTER WISHES

 

Well you didn't expect me to make and post 3 cards this week without one of them being a mini card! I'm lovin' the bright colours and the paper is Magnolia. I've used a MS fence punch and the little letters are stickers from my stash.

The super cute image is Holly Ears from

Lilac Bunnies for Oldie But A Goodie

A very good morning to all my lovely friends out there in blog land, we've just had a very soggy weekend and I hope it's dried up a bit for you, wherever you may be.

It's time for a new challenge at

Oldie But A Goodie

but before I go into the details, I'd like to thank everyone who joined us for the last challenge, the winner and top 3 can be found on the main challenge blog page.

This week our blog leader, the very talented Francesca is hosting, 

and she would like to see some

Easter Wishes

Here is what I came up with

I've used a LOTV image that was stamped and sent to me last year in a RAK from my good friend Lisa, lol I can't believe how long it's taken me to use it! Once again I've used MFT die cut flowers, I love these as much as my mini round cards lately!  The border and swirl are Doo Hickey dies. I dusted off the brads and ribbon from my stash. Image is coloured with Copics and Nesties used for the shapes.

A little peek inside again

Another obsession is decorating the inside, I'm hoping it will help use up the mountain of paper which I can't stop buying!

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of this challenge, the prize you can win and some inspiration from my lovely teammies.

Remember the new rules state you can use a digital image but don't forget to tell us what is old that you have used on your card.

I'm away at my Mums for a couple of days, so I apologise if I haven't been around much, what with work and getting ready for the start of our summer season there isn't enough hours in the day!

Thank for visiting

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
