Anything Goes with Left of Center!

Edit: This should have posted yesterday at 11 am.....don't forget to pop
over to the Left of Center blog at 11 today for more inspiration!
Morning friends.........hope you're all well!
Another make from me for the Left of Center 1st anniversary celebration
and this time I've made an ATC! Love making these, so quick & easy, great to
share or keep.........and so long as they're quite flat they store easily in those
plastic pockets, usually about 9 on an A4 size page, you know the kind 
that hold football/game cards? I used the cute "Heart Monster" from Dilly Beans
coloured with Copics, a couple of scraps of paper & a stamped sentiment
and that's it.........super quick & easy! Don't forget, to pop over & enter
the 1st Anniversary challenge at Left of Center, it's Anything Goes.....and it
really IS Anything Goes..........it doesn't have to be dark.........although dark is
delicious you can enter pink & frilly if you want! There's some FAB prizes 
to be won & you have another 7 days to enter so look out for some more amazing
inspiration from the LOC crew! 
Thanks for calling.......hope you have a lovely day!

Punches & Dies with Lexi's Creations

Good morning lovelies......hope you're well!
Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Lexi's Creations and this
time the theme is PUNCHES & DIES.....a nice easy theme, we all
love our punches & dies, don't we.......and I love that we can use them
without a stamped image or a digi! I do love to colour but sometimes just
for a change it's nice not to! My card was so quick & easy to make
but no matter how many times I took a pic the scallop strip never looked
 straight.....I've even measured it cos it was driving me mad lol!
So as usual, you can make any craft creation you like & you have until
March 29th to play.....and don't forget, there's some gorgeous inspiration
over on the main blog! Rightio, off to do some jobs :(.....thanks for
calling ......have a lovely day!
