April Fool's On Me!

Good morning crafty friends.  I hope you're all having a good day.  Today, is April Fool's Day (or, all fool's day) and that means there is a new challenge over on my dear friend Darnell's blog.  

http://www.djkardkreations.com/2017/04/2nd-annual-april-fools-boo-boo-hop-and.html

Last April Darnell decided to run a fun challenge whereby everybody could show any boo boo's they had made during their card making!  Well, of course, there were many entries, and everyone, including yours truly, had a good laugh at ourselves and joined in the merriment with everyone else - it also gave new crafters a chance to see that even the most seasoned crafters, make the same mistakes that they do!

This year, Darnell is running her second challenge along with her NBUS challenge, which means, for the uninitiated, Never Before Used Schtuff, a phrase coined by Darnell herself, whereby we use supplies that we have purchased but never used before (which we all have).  You can enter, just a boo boo, or a NBUS, OR, both together (Darnell explains it better, so get on over there and read all about it) . . . and enter!

Here, in all it's shameful glory is my first boo, boo and see if you can work out what is wrong here.


Not quite sure?  Those of you who saw it at the time will know of course, but for those, who missed it, see the original post HERE  It's a good job we can laugh at ourselves, right?

This is the second boo boo.  You will see immediately what I did here, but for those who may be new to card making, I will explain after the picture.  You can see what it should have looked like HERE


Seasoned stampers, will know immediately, that I placed the poppy centre on my acrylic block upside down!!

I had spent ages lining up the various layers of the poppies (I'm not very good at lining up multi-step stamps, so it took me ages to get this far!)

Well, my lovelies, I've showed you mine, now . . . show us yours!

Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment.  You are all appreciated more than you know!

 If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
