Apprentice Sorcerer Criss Cross Card Keepsake - Wall Decor

Hi again :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

My Daughter Zoe had a few friends stay over last night in her tent which she put up in the garden. Thankfully it wasn't as cold out as it was the last time lol. I couldn't help her put up the tent this time though as I had a biopsy done on my left hand yesterday, complete with having stitches lol.

So now I have a hand in stitches whilst trying to create my designs lol. It doesn't help that I am left handed either. Oh well, life is always a challenge lol.

I have been a Guest Designer at ABC Challenges this month & this is my last design for them.

I just want to say thank you to ABC for having me. It has been wonderful doing the challenges & a great opportunity. Thanks so much :)

This month the ABC Challenge is X for Criss Cross.

I had never made a Criss Cross card before so this was definately a challenge for me lol.

I used the same image that I used from my previous design I posted the other day, as I always colour two images at a time.

However I used different DP's this time :)

I also used rhinestones scattered around the design. A few more buttons from my stash too :)

I found a few star brads & also a star charm in my stash too which I think suit the design quite well :)

Another side view (sorry gotta do this quick as I am due somewhere).

Either my eyesight is playing up on me or this pic is blurry lol.

Sorry about that, I will have to re-do it later.

This design has been added to my

Dreamtime Designs Etsy Shop :)

I will be entering this design into the following challenges:

(I will add this later)

That's all for now. Make sure you come back soon :)

Lil' Sorcerer Halloween Card Keepsake

Hi again :)

Although it has been pretty quiet here on my blog for the last week (due to Zoe & I sick with the flu) I have still been able to spend some time putting a few designs together :)

The weather here has been warming up quite nicely lately so a few days ago I took my Copics & image out into the garden & sat there in the sun colouring this gorgeous little Sorcerer to life :)

This gorgeous image is from The Paper Shelter. He was one of three images that I chose when winning one of their challenges about a month or so ago. He was a pleasure to colour :)

I tried extremely hard not to add any flowers lol. Instead I got my star stencil out that I have had for donkeys years & put it to good use. Mental note: Buy a star die - can you recommend one?

I also used my circle punch which has been collecting dust & then got my hands on some buttons from my 'oldies stash'. I purchased the twine about three months ago & finally got around to using it :)

The DP is from my oldies stash too. The star DP is from NRN Designs...are they even still around? The yellow plaid & purple DP's, I wouldn't even have a clue nor would like to guess as they were in my scrap stash.

I have used a few MS punches & have distressed the edges with Ranger Distress Ink - Chipped Sapphire. The pale yellow ribbon with gold edges are from my oldies stash too.

So what items are new that are on my design? lol That's a good question lol. The Little Sorcerer's Apprentice image is & so is the Halloween sentiment ticket which is from Paper Cupcakes (which I also won in a challenge over at There's magic in the air).
