Well,we are half way through the month of May already and Scrapbookers Anonymous have posted the cards made by the DT using the leftover papers from our LO's and this month's challenge element which is stamping. This is a brand new challenge for us,so come on cardmakers you don't have to do a LO just get your scrap box out and make a card with a stamped image. You have got until the 31st May to enter your LO,card or both and you could win some of the new Tim Holtz distress papers,if you do both enter them as two seperate entries so you have double the chance of winning.
Here's my card using the leftover paper from my LO.
I've made a step card which I was shown how to make last week by Banu from Sunrise Crafts,the image is Nellie Snellen coloured in using ProMarkers.
The last couple of month's I've been trying to teach myself to crochet using books and tutorials,I really want to make a blanket so I started off doing granny squares but wasn't really happy with them,they looked uneven however much I tried. Over the weekend I was blog hopping and went onto Dottie Angel and saw this blanket.....made by Tif,I just fell in love with it,look at those gorgeous vintage doilies.

When I saw there was tutorial that was very easy to follow with photo's ( I'm more a visual learner) I got my wool and needle back out and gave it another go.
I finished my first square yesterday and though it's not perfect I'm really pleased with myself eventually I'd like to have a go at following a pattern and make one of the cute baby hats and bootees that I keep seeing in those gorgeous gift shops,one step at a time though but watch this space.
Thanks for taking the time to look and leave a comment,I really appreciate it.

Loving the crochet Deb.
such a lovely card - looks a bit advanced for me but how pretty it is!
Good luck to Paige for the exams - I'll keep my fingers crossed for her!
And as for the crocheting - wow! something I could never get to grips with (I'm not much of a knitter but I can do the basics.) I'm more of a fabric freak :-) !!
Lovely card, what amazing dimension and detail! Your crocheting looks good to me. I tried to teach myself using YouTube videos, but eventually decided to stick with knitting. I'm much better at that.
Wow Deb, you've been at it again! Just look at that wonderful card of yours and that blanket! For someone who's just picked up crocheting you've done more than a fantastic job, it looks absolutely cool!!
Love that card. You show me how and I'll help you with the crochet.
It's a deal,Julie.xxxx
Wow that card is so pretty ... I love the papers ... and good luck with your crochet work ... I know you can do it!
Love this till the bits, so sweet, so lovely!
Now we can't wait to see the finishing project!
Deb this post makes me sigh. The step card is gorgeous and I love the way you use your scraps. Gorgeous.
I'm impressed by your crocheting.You did a fabulous job; just look what you made!! I can't crochet...I would love to learn but I am left handed and all the books and tutorials I've seen are made right handed people....
You made a great start and I can't wait to see the final result; please let us know how things are turning out and....show us the final result!
