Allsorts Challenge week 665


Morning everybody

We have a new Challenge at Allsorts Challenge blog this week the theme is hand coloured or paper pieced

Two prizes, Tonic die set from Colemans Craft Warehouse and 3 images from Ruth Hamilton Design 




I found this theme to be challenging as it took me ages to decide what I wanted to do but here is what I came up with, hand coloured flowers


Why not pop along and discover what the rest of the design team came up with.

Hope to see your entries at 


Alison



We aim to comment on all entires at least once, usually more…but not all DT’s have access to third party hosts such as as Pinterest, Splitcoast, Flickr and Facebook so will be unable to leave a comment. However, as long as those entries are eligible for the theme they will still be included in draws and Top 5 picks.

Busy busy day and a house mouse

 Well I never got around to playing with my new Gelli Plate, it was coffee stop this morning to which I take the oldies, came home around 12ish had to set up the new router for the internet as my old one stopped playing lol.  Then time for a sit down and coffee for 1/2 hour before commenting on some blogs both personal and for the design teams, finished a card then started dinner.

I made this card a couple of weeks ago but forgot to post it, it was a commissioned card, picture not great as camera was on the blink



Will be busy most of the day tomorrow as it’s the old age pensioners lunch club which I run, I then have to go into Plymouth for slimming world class, but will try and catch up with everybody on Friday 

Love Alison

Sorry

Evening Everybody
 

 I wanted to say sorry for not being around so much and commenting on everybody’s blogs, I just seem to run out of hours these days.  So once again sorry for not commenting on your fantastic makes.

I am lying in bed next to hubby who is snoring his head off but I know if I turn that telly off he will wake up and say I was watching that lol.   I have bought a Gelli Plate and some paints which hopefully I will be able to play with over the next few days wanted to try something different.  

I am showcasing a Mother’s Day card I have made hope you like it


Will pop by tomorrow afternoon to do some commenting on your lovely blogs as my iPad plays up when I try to comment on some blogs not sure why 
So bye for now

Commissioned Card

 It’s our 47th Wedding Anniversary today we are celebrating by going out for a lunch time picnic and a lovely walk with our Jack Russell Bella then in the evening going out for a meal.

I was asked to make a card for a friend whose hubby is an avid stamp collector and thanks to my Design team buddies this is what I managed to come up with.  Please forgive the slightly out of focus photo but for some reason my camera is playing up will have to investigate.


Will catch up with everybody soon


Love Alison
