CRAFT Challenge -

Good evening

I'd love to say thank crunchie it's Friday but I am working over-time tomorrow, but then am going out for a late lunch with my very good friend Michelle. so not all bad !!!

Right CRAFT challenge theme this week is recycled so we would like you to use something on your project that has been re-cycled.  I used some string that was tied around a pressie that my eldest daughter bought me a while ago.  I have also used a butterfly that was on a bookmark a friend made for me, the only reason I took it off was because i kept catching it on my book and was worried I would rip it.  The image is from Doodle Dragon's and I think it is so funny.  The sentiment stamp and punch are from Stampin up and if you look closely I have whizzed around the edges of my yellow cardstock with a tracing wheel to make little pinpricks....

Right then now it's your turn, please come and join in the fun here as we have some fab prizes again this week...

Challenges are....Cards for men....Papertake Weekly

Love and hugs til next week

Doodle Dragon's are one of our sponsors this week and I chose to use this digi "Partridge Oops"

Get Well Soon

Morning followers - our theme at CRAFT Challenges this week is "Get Well" now I don't know about you but I don't make many of these.  I chose a mad hatter digi from Rick St Dennis - Yes I know what you are thinking what an odd choice but I was thinking it would make the recipient chuckle and cheer them up !!!!  The card was from an idea over at Little Claire's blog to make a z-fold card and believe you me it's a doddle to make.

I used some backing papers I have had in a box for ages, computed generated sentiment (cut with my new die set from SU) and a small bow.  Of course I used my promarkers and flexmarkers to colour my image and the colours I chose were just perfect for the pastel theme.

Would be lovely if you came and joined us over at CRAFT for our weekly challenge

Take care until next time

Create or Use a Mask

Good morning bloggers - how are we all - well I hope and looking forward to Spring and the warmer weather.

The challenge over at CRAFT this week is make or use a mask - not my favourite theme only because I don't like masks or puppets!!!

Anyhoo here is my card (which I am not thrilled with) but wanted a theatrical mask to use and the ribbon was off a present I received at Christmas - loved the sparkle...

Do come and join us and show us your masks ( my team-mates have interpreted this challenge in various ways - so lots of inspiration for you all)

Love is in the Air

Well it is over at CRAFT Challenges..our theme this week is Valentines Day/Love and we have some super sponsors including Karen's Doodles which is where i got my lovely cute digi...

The backing papers were a gift from my SIL and I have used my promarkers to colour the image and finally some gross grain ribbon from my stash and a heart shaped button.

It would be lovely if you came and joined us with our challenge and you just may end up being one of our winners..

See you all over there

Cute and girly challenge...

Nutcrafters challenge this time is Cute and Girly and has been chosen by Helen.  Remember you don't have to use a nutcrafter image but I did, I love this little cutie digi.

I have coloured my digi using promarkers and flexmarkers and then punched some tiny butterflies from some embossed card.  I love the curly swirly sentiment.

So do please come and join us at Nutcrafters and we promise to come and visit your blogs for a nosey.

Until next time stay warm and cosy

Christmas in January!!!

Oh no I hear you cry..no more Christmas cards...but the idea is that each month over at CRAFT challenges we will have a Christmas themed challenge to make sure we don't end up making Christmas cards all through December.  Little and often and all that, well that's my theory.

so here is my little card using a fab digi from Robyn's Fetish - |I just fell in love with this little cute mouse

I shall look forward to checking out your blogs in the cold days ahead, I am at work tomorrow but then i intend to hibernate until Monday morning.  (Apart from walking to the local pub to have Sunday lunch with some friends)

Stay warm and safe on the roads.....

A colour combo is our themed challenge this week at CRAFT Challenges, lots of blues............

So using a super image ( you will see I have used it before) from My Heart Pieces (Aria), I have coloured her using my promarkers and then found some lovely blue backing paper  in my stash.  Finally I added a sentiment and lots of lovely prima flowers.  I followed a sketch from the Friday sketch challenge blog - thanks for the inspiration team...

We shall look forward to seeing your creations for the challenge

Good luck

Hello and a happy New Year....

Hello my fellow bloggers and welcome to 2013

My 1st card of 2013 is a DT card for Nutcrafters and it was my turn to host the challenge.  So to cheer us all up (well the weather is miserable) I thought a nice flower theme was in order.  So come on crafters get out all those flowers you have stashed away and make something bright and cheerful...  You don't have to use a nutcrafters image but if you do there is a special prize for the winner...

So without further ado here is my card using the flower barrow from Nutcrafters

Do please come and join us and say hello to my super team mates who have made some very pretty cards
