Morning Peeps, time for a new challenge at Allsorts and our host is Lynn who is thinking sunny thoughts with the theme 'Use Yellow'. This weeks winner will receive a beautiful stamp from Chocolate Baroque.
My card at the top is from yesterdays Hochanda TV shows where my first set of inspirational quotes called 'Life Is So Much Better' was released, I have used one of them broken into two, I'm rather fond of doing that plus it makes them even more versatile. The focal image is Floral Musica which featured in the same show, a crackle frame, Oxide background and Swarovski crystals...........I had a real find the other day, a box with 20 pots of them in different colours. I had totally forgotten them until I came across them emptying cupboards for my craft room re-fit.
I've had to completely empty my craft room which has been a nightmare, wasn't planned but I've been struggling reaching things in the wall cupboards for a while so hubby thought it was time.......probably fed up hearing the yells and expletives every time I drop something!! So furniture ordered and amazingly delivered within two days and now being fitted.......albeit slowly!!
The starting point for my second share was a stencilled background, then Chocolate Baroque Ace Card stamped after masking the frame around the image as I wanted just the floral element and script, then extended the script with one of the worker stamps from the same set. Coloured the flowers, stamped the word ART, sentiment also from the same set and numbers in the background from the Just Useful set.
Happy weekend all and as always my thanks for your kind visits and words of encouragement.

Have a great weekend.

I'm just mad about Saffron......they call me mellow yellow, quite rightly....not heard that in a while Brenda. Although it was shortly after I was born it was a favourite of Dad's and he used to sing it to my Sister and I! Love these gorgeous SPRING coloured cards and your sentiments look fabulous. Hope you have enjoyed some sunny days though it looks like the rain is coming back next week, always a funny old month March is!! xx
So gorgeous Brenda, the CB stamps are lovely, xxx
Beautiful cards Brenda, lovely images and I adore the colour yellow, beautifully designed too, Kate x
Great cards, like the second one best. Lucky you, having your craft room refitted and how wonderful to have a hubby that does diy. Mine won't touch it. I sometimes fantasise about turning our quite large spare bedroom into a craft room and putting bunk beds in my quite small craft room for when the kids come and stay, which is generally only about once a year. How amazing to find 20 pots of crystals bet you were pleased about that. hope things have settled down a bit for you this week and Poppy is still recovering well xx
Ciao Brenda, di nuovo congratulazioni per i tuoi sentiments che sono diventati un nuovo set di timbri CB!!
Ricordo la canzone Mellow Yellow, era arrivata anche in Italia, ero una ragazzina :)
Due belle cards di ispirazione, mi piace il design della prima e gli Swaroski sono perfetti. Hai avuto molto coraggio a vuotare la tua craftroom! Per me è una missione impossibile con tutti i miei bits and bobs! :D LOL. Immagino che sarai impegnata per un po' a risistemare tutto nei nuovi mobili, ma di sicuro quando avrai finito avrai un posto più funzionale e ordinato!
La seconda card è bellissima in giallo e grigio, è molto elegante ed ha un bel senso di leggerezza.
Spero che Poppy stia meglio, ora.
Un abbraccio, buon weekend
What a lovely pair of cards, Brenda and I love the yellow - reminds me that spring is coming feel to them both. How lovely to be getting a craft room refit and I hope you will share some pics when it is all completed.
Take care,
Hugs

Both are amazing cards Brenda. Loving the roses in yellow and your sentiments are beautiful!
Loving all the cheerful yellow florals and more inspirational quotes! It is a pain moving everything out but it will all be worth it for the lack of expletives...! And yes, I do remember that Mellow Yellow ear worm! Enough said! Vicky x
These are beautiful. I love the yellow colour. Hugs Mrs A.
