Craft Challenge - one for the men...

Hello fellow crafters...yippee doodle dandy it's Friday...I have the whole weekend to myself so I am going to go get my housework done, cook dinner and plan a very crafty weekend.

Now here is my card for the challenge over at CRAFT - the theme is definitely one for the boys...we would like to see a father's day card or a card for the male in your life......




I used a great digi from My Heart Pieces called the school boy and I love him and his goggles - bless him....

Would be lovely if you came and joined in the fun at CRAFT Challenges this week - fab sponsors = fantastic prizes

Have a super weekend

Back from my hols !!!

Hello followers

Well I am back from my little holiday in Yorkshire - we had sunshine too!!!  A birthday treat from hubby, it was so nice to spend time walking along the beach and basically just chilling.

Got back home and realised I had not scheduled my CRAFT challenges post...this week we have a colour combo - browns, blues and some orange - pop over to the challenge page here and you will see what my lovely team-mates have made....

Here is the card I made using a delightful digi from QKR Stampede (I am a real fan of these digis) and this one is is called all tied up.




I have coloured him using my promarkers and the backing papers are some I printed off a cd awhile ago so no idea which one as I have quite a selection now....I also went for the wonky look  lol

Ok this is the 1st of many posts today so off to sort the next one out...don't forget to come and join us at CRAFT Challenges

Love and hugs from a very sunny and glorious Derbyshire

Happy Birthday CRAFT challenges




  • Happy Birthday To Us
    Happy Birthday To Us
    Happy Birthday Dear CRAFT Challenge
    Happy Birthday To Us!

    Can you believe it? CRAFT Challenge is already 4 years old. Originally started by Tracy from Just Tracy Crafts and with a DT mostly recruited from Trimcraft forum members (Hence the term CRAFT Challenge, which stood for Crafters Residing Are Friendly Trimmies. Or if you wished alternative meaning of Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) on the 4th of May 2009.

    We have now grown to be a large team of Design Team Members from all around the world, supplemented with lots of Guest Designers who join us for a month at a time.

    We have always welcomed all kinds of craft, not just paper craft (unless specifically stated so in the challenge at the time) and are happy to have such a large group of faithful followers.

    So, how are we going to celebrate this milestone?

CRAFT Challenge card

The challenge this week at CRAFT Challenges is......
A Stitch in Time/Use Stitching
So, anything bearing the above in mind will qualify. We can't wait to see what you come up with. 
So here is what I have done, a lovely little slider card, i love making these are they are so easy to make and this one is even suitable for a male so even better cos as you know I am not a fan of making male cards.




As you can see I didn't use a digi but I did choose some lovely papers (perfect for the men in our lives) from a pack designed by Jo.  My stitches aren't real they are rub-ons and for those of you like me that struggle with rub-ons I have a great tip...use a glitter girl embossing tool..perfect...
So come on folks lets see your projects and you may just become one of our many winners
Sylvia
ps have a fab bank holiday weekend
