Morning to you all, another just because post with a couple of shares. Not a lot of mojo going on this week, my diabetic meds have changed and sugars a bit all over, but managed these two. But do need to get more productive as a delivery of new Lavinia goodies arrived, rather quirky, fun and different, check them out here, you just might be tempted.
Above for the current Snippets Playground using various AALL and Create stamps and snippets, along with a few TRR springs of foliage onto a background stencilled with crackle texture paste. I even remembered a photo of my snippets. It was a tad cold in the treehouse this week so I've hidden a bottle of something 'spirited' in my bag for those who are up for it.
The card below is for the new Path of Positivity challenge which started this week, the focus this year is the Unexpected, this month it's send a Valentines to someone not expecting it. I usually only make them for DT work so I decided to make one for GGrandaugter Margo, three and a half. She was fascinated watching me make Fairy cards recently, she doesn't quite understand the Fairy concept yet so this one might help guide her towards GG's (yep, that's what she calls us both and nothing to do with the horses) world of fantasy.
I used Lavinia stamps Fairy Chain (part of), Leaf Creeper, Fairy Bugs, mini stamps Leaf, Single Heart and Group Hearts. I lightly inked a heart shape stencil, stamped around it and then three of the Fairies using a mixture of Versafine Clair inks and a little sentiment, wood mounted and years old, I think Art Impressions.
Have a good weekend.

Wonderful cards Brenda and, I have to say, those new Lavinia Stamps are VERY tempting!! Margo is going to love her Valentine and I am sure it won't be long before, like my Mollie, will be "helping" !! xx
What a beautiful Valentine for your little Margo! The colors are gorgeous and I know she is going to be captivated by the sparkle!
Thanks so much for sharing with us at Path of Positivity. Katrina
Two delightful cards Brenda..love the fairies and I hope margo does too. Everyone's mojo seems to be missing at the moment ....I reckon there must be a Mojo conference on somewhere..lol!
As always your cards are beautiful, love the 'extra something' the crackle paste stencilling gives your snippets card, so sweet to make a magical fairy Valentine card for little Margo, the fairies and pretty colours are sure to appeal. Definitely tempted by the new Lavinia stamps, I feel a shopping spree coming on! Hope you feel better soon.

Both are so beautifully done, love the crackling background on the first and such pretty colors too, and a beautiful magical card for little Margo too. She will love it. Love the heart shaped wreath!
Beautiful colour combo on the first card and a fab design. Your second card is so magical and I am sure Margo will be entranced by it.
Fabulous cards B - as always, Little Margo is so very lucky to be growing up with a Granny who brings so much magic into her life! Don't ever tell me you're not artistic Missus!

Gorgeous cards, really love the vibrant blue and yellow one, that really is like a tonic on a grey day. I bet Margo loves her card. My 6yr old niece is suddenly into Witches seemingly out of nowhere, so I asked her about it and she said she just woke up one morning and knew she was a witch:-) Could be interesting...hopefully she is a good one! lol Emmax
Both cards look great and I love the colors you used! For sure the Lavinia one is a bit different from what others make without any black, but I like it a lot! Hugs, Gerrina
Both so pretyy Brenda.
I did wonder where you were, glad you are Ok even though feeling abit off kilter. Love xxxx
Oh wow--the first card is just amazing, Brenda! Love the textured background! Super sweet Valentine for the 3yr old!
A great colour combo and I love your crackle background, it looks amazing.

They are both so beautiful Brenda. I love the splash of colour in the first one and the gorgeous fairies in their heart wreath in the second. Gorgeous work!
Love your floral blue and yellow card, a stand out with the black layer, love it. As for Margo's Valentine card, it's so very pretty, I'm sure she loved it. x
