La-La Land Crafts-Monochromatic

Hello everyone.

I hope this blog post finds you all well.  We welcomed a new addition into our family this week, his name is Alfie. He is a gorgeous 9 week old Golden Retriever that is full of mischief and love.

He has taken up a lot of my time, lets face it who could pull themselves away from this little guy.
However I did manage to find the time to drag myself away to make this card for this weeks Monday Inspiration post for La-La Land Crafts.

This week the theme is
Monochromatic!

You have seen this little girl before on my blog, I just adore her.
It is of course Tricycle Marci.
Copics used:
W1, W3, W5, W7.

If you would like to play along this week upload your Circle Card creation to the Customer Gallery and you could be in with a chance to win a prize at the end of the month.

We would love to see what you create!

Take care

Lime Tart Gallery Reveal!

Hi everyone.

It feels like I haven't shared any of my scrapbooking for a little while.  So today I thought I would share with you a few of my projects using the Half Tart from Lime Tart.

This frame I made a step by step post for the Lime Tart blog a few weekends ago.  You can see the post here.

The team did an amazing job creating with their kits this month.  So be sure to check out the rest of the gallery right here.

I will be back soon with some more card sharing.

Until then
