'X' is for Xerox!

The Craft Barn's alpha dictionary challenge this month is the letter 'X'.  Well it had to come round at some point, I suppose!  I'd initially thought I'd do Xmas, but I never ever write Xmas on cards, as I really don't like the contraction, so I thought I'd try a little harder and up popped Xerox!

I found a small stamp of a jam jar of brushes - I think it was a free gift on the front of a magazine - and stamped it a number of times.  One of them was deliberately stamped off the page and crinkled - in recognition of the problems I always come across with printers and copier!

I hope you like my tag!



Have fun!

O for Olympics

Hello!

I'm writing this post from my holiday terrace in a small mountain village of Mallorca!  I just remembered to do my tag in time, photographed it and then didn't do my blog until I was reminded by the Craft Barn's blog this morning! Phew!  I don't want to miss it!

I'm entering this tag in the Alpha dictionary challenge, for the letter 'O'.  Spurred on by our recent successes in Rio, I thought that 'Olympics' would be reasonably topical and, more importantly, fairly easy for me to do when I was running out of time....

I don't tend to look to see what everyone else does before I've posted my entry.  I'd thought that lots of folk would have chosen 'heart' for the previous challenge, but I was the only one.  I bet I'm not  the only one to choose Olympics this time!  LOL!

I used up a few scraps to make this card, my usual Spellbinders font and a circle die!  




Thanks for reading my blog!

H is for 'heart'

Hello!

The alpha dictionary challenge this time is to illustrate the letter 'H'.  Once again I'm an hour or so before the deadline and still without my word.  Then out of nowhere my word came to me - heart! I then found an offcut from a lovely piece of Heartfelt Creations paper in a beautiful deep red with a dainty pattern. And, of course, out came my heart dies and I was off! 

My tag features a die from Heartfelt Creations (Timeless Amour) and a Spellbinders heart as well.




Best wishes,

Anne
