Merry Christmas


So wet here today, looks more like November than August, only difference being it is a lot warmer. As the weather is so bad and no chance of getting out today decided to make a card for the challenge at Bah Humbug! must admit I wasn't sure what to do for "White on White" but in the end quite enjoyed making this card and was pleased with the result, though the photo is not too good. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch for the star sides, Cuttlebug embossing folders for the background and the tree, which was cut with a Marianne die. The snowflake was cut with a Nesties and I added some Twinklets to this, I finished with some white pearls, white ribbon and the sentiment is an Anna Griffin stamp.

Fairy Tales


Good Morning, well it's Tuesday again so that means it must be time this week's challenge at My Time to Craft. The challenge this week is "Fairy Tales" which if you take a look at the blog you will see that this has been interpreted in different ways by the Design Team and there are some lovely cards on there. For my card I used a fairy image by LOTV and coloured with Copics, the papers are by Making Memories and Prima and I distressed all the edges with a Tim Holtz distressing tool. I added a lace doily, Stardust Stickles, some lace, ribbon, pearl buckle, pearls, flowers and adhesive stones. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch and finished with a sentiment stamp by Stamping Bella. I do hope you can join us this week.

Christmas Dance


Not a very nice day today weatherwise so I decided to tidy my craft room and make a Christmas card for the challenge at Simon Says which this week is "Christmas in August". The image I used is a new one from LOTV called "Christmas Dance" - she is just soooo cute, I coloured her with Copics and added Twinklets on the fur, the papers are by Memory Box and I machine stitched all around the edges. The sentiment is by Crafter's Companion, I added a flower from my stash and coloured it with a Copic as it wasn't quite dark enough, the ribbon and pearls are also from my stash.

Noel


Good Morning! Very warm day here though not so much sunshine as yesterday when I sat making this card for the challenge at Bah Humbug! the challenge this week is to use lace. The image I used is a cute new stamp from Sugar Nellie I coloured with Copics and added some Polar White Flower Soft and Stardust Stickles. I wanted the card to be fairly clean and simple as I thought the image was quite busy, so I added my lace and threaded some ribbon through and added a bow, the paper is from my stash and I layered onto gold mirri card, which unfortunately looks black in the photo. Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday.
