Bookmark

I did a little crafting this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks and thought I would enter a few challenges with this bookmark I have made for the challenge at Lovely Hanglar Only. The image is, of course, a Hanglar image which I have coloured with Copics cut out and mounted onto a piece of card. The sides were made using a Martha Steward edge punch, I punched some small flowers and added adhesive stones in the middle and finished with a heart charm on some jump rings. I am also entering this for the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Simon Says - Anything Goes

Rainbow Lady - Your Choice from 2010

(Challenge 90 - Have a Heart)

Santa Baby

My DT card today is for the challenge at My Time to Craft which is "Santa Baby". The image I used is by Lili of the Valley, I coloured with Copics and added some Stickles, the circle was edged with Distress ink and matted onto a gold doily, the bp is by Craft Creations. I finished with a ribbon, Prima poinsettia with a jewellery spacer and gem in the centre, charm and sentiment by Magnolia.

Snow, Snow, Snow

Good Morning, my card today matches the weather - snow, snow, snow, hope you are all managing to keep warm and safe in this weather. The challenge this week at The Crafty Pad is "Anything Goes" and the DT are using the snowglobe image by Debbie of the Crafty Pad. I coloured my image with Copics, paper pieced the bottom of the globe and added some Stickles, the papers are by HOTP and GCD, the flowers were cut on the Cuttlebug with a Marianne die, I added Twinklets to them and pearls in the centres. I finished with some cotton lace and added the sentiment which is by Nina of Paper Cupcakes.

Our sponsor this week is Lou from Creative Craft World.

This is the last challenge of the year at The Crafty Pad and will run until 28 December, we will be back with some great new challenges and sponsors starting 9 January 2011

Around the World

The challenge at My Time to Craft today is "Around the World Tour". My card is made using a drawing of the Eiffel Tower I got from a website, and edged with distress ink, I distressed the edges of the paper which is by Magnolia as is the large rose and the smaller ones are from my stash. I finished with ribbon and a heart punched with a Martha Stewart punch.

A Merry Christmas Snowman

Today is the last challenge of this year at Paper Cupcakes and you can pick up this gorgeous digi image by Nina for free. Our challenge this week has been set by Dru and she has challenged us to make a Christmas card using "A Merry Christmas Snowman" image and to use traditional red and green. I have coloured my image with Copics cut out with Nesties circles and scalloped circles for the red mirri layering. The bp is from the Papermania Henbury Lane Christmas pad, the heart was punched with a Martha Stewart punch, I added some Prima Poinsettia's, lace and tiny bells.

Reindeer Greetings

Good Morning, very cold and frosty again this morning but the sun is shining on the hills and it does look beautiful. Now to my card for the day which is for the Challenge at My Time to Craft - Reindeer Greetings. The topper I used is by Kanban, the paper by Craft Creations, I cut the swirl with a Marianne die and added ribbon and sentiment.

Christmas Ornament

Good Morning, my DT project today is for Paper Cupcakes, where the challenge this week is brought to us by Carol and is to make a Christmas Ornament. I used two of Nina's images (one on each side) cut them out with Nesties and sandwiched them with silver also cut out with Nesties, coloured with Copics. The wreath at the bottom was made by folding paper pieces from my stash following instructions from a copy of Crafts Beautiful, all held together using ribbon.
