Hi there here is my third calendar this is using Shy Hilda, the papers are from one of my Christmas packs, you'd never tell would you. This one is for my next door neighbour.
I've used the sketch from The Pink Elephant they gave us a choice of two, I might pop back and use the other sketch aswell , I shall also enter it into Creative Card Crew's challenge they say anything goes, I shall have to run now as I'm watching the second installment of Triffids in a bit.

Dexter


Hi all, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to the New Year, I decided to make a few calendars instead of New Year cards, that way they last a bit longer.
This one is for the Sketch and Stash challenge who provided us with a lovely sketch, I've changed it a tad and taken the two flowers of the sides, didn't think this card needed anything else.
My gorgeous son and DIL brought me Dexter for Christmas, I've wanted some Motivet stamps for ages they also got me Shy Hilda she's facing the ink tomorrow for another calendar.
Hope to be back tomorrow.

stocking



Hi, this card is for two challenges, I used the sketch from Truly Scrumptious and they also wanted you to use vellum so I tore a strip for the sentiment to go on. My Time to craft asked for Christmas Foliage so even though holly berries are not pink in real life I thought they would still count.
Ive used a Lili of the valley stamp that I coloured with copics and loads of glitter, My minds eye papers, nesties, a coupe of white brads that i coloured with copics then glittered.
Take care.

I coloured it with copics mounted it on bazill basics and my minds eye dp , fiskars threading water punch bit of red ribbon, hero arts crystal snowflakes and diamante ribbon slider both of these of my sister, thank you mwahh,

We are sponsered this week by Squigglefly .com Asley is giving the winner 3 wonderfull images




I know, I'm getting a bit predictable, another easel card,but I wanted to see how an A5 one turned out, this is for a freind of mine its her birthday on 20th Dec so i always seem to rush her card as I'm busy with last minute preps, so this year she's got a good one.


This is my fairy godmother stamp from Butterfly Kisses coloured with copics, lots and lots of glitter, K&Co papers, pink bazill,nesties,EK punches,bead cap and gem brad from stash.



Not keen on these dark nights for photo shots, even with my daylight bulb, might ask Santa for a photo box for Christmas or see if hubby can make me one, he's pretty handy.




The cards you made last week were brilliant, I hope you'll join us again this week at ICS

Evening, hope everyone is well. Its mighty windy here today I dont know about bracing.
This card sort of fell together I chose my paper I wanted to use and the rest just happened not very often that happens I can tell you. The sketch is from Everybody Art and I love it. The recipe is from Lili of the valley- 3 papers , never quite sure if you count your layering, so I did.
2 Stamps- A new one from LOTV and the sentiment was from a Little Claire set, 1 type of embellishment , I chose brads, I dont think the flowers count as I made them using the papers.

Furry Xmas

WOW, what a fatastic day I had yesterday,
I went to the NEC and shopped till I dropped, It was the best I'd been to, in my opinion, the roads wasn't to bad it took three and a half hours with a loo and coffee stop. Set off at six in the morning and got home just after nine at night, had to work today to make up for having yesterday off and still havn't found homes for all my new goodies.
I started this card before I went so I've managed to get it finished tonight.


It's for a challenge I've never done before called Posh Designs Scrapbook Store its challenges are set on a Tuesday and is Bi-weekly, The hostess is the amazing Dawn B from Inspirational Card Sketches so its bound to be great.

This is the sketch I have used with an old stamp I've had for quite a while and carn't remember where its from, I've used a new card blank from craftwork cards,stickles, nesties, cuttlebug embossing folder and a rub on.

Got to get off now some kind sole has just started letting off fireworks, at eleven o clock :( and my dogs are getting spooked.

Hope to be back tomorrow after Mum has treated me to one of her amazing roast dinners, Hubby is off fishing so its a me me me day.

ICS #41

Hiya and its challenge #41 at ICS this week, Dawn has provided us with another great sketch, you can do want you want wth it as usual, this week I've turned it on its side.


We have been sponsered this week by Digistamp Boutique They have the most amazing images to choose from,( i know because they gave us all an image to make our DT cards with and it took me over an hour to decide which one.lol) the winner this week gets a gift coupon for $15.00 dollars , so what are you waiting for.



The image I chose was Becky at Christmas,isn't she just adorable, perfect for a teenage girl I thought, I just resized her in photoshop and printed her off, (if you print your image off the day before you need it, you can use your copics and the ink wont bleed from your printer, or you could heat set it if your in a hurry,) I glittered the baubles and fairy wings, then matted with me nesties. Thanks to everyone that played with us last week. Hope you have fun .

I used K&Co papers, bazill basics, prima flowers, walnut ink and a rub on.

Pinky

Evening , really getting on well with my Christmas cards now, been quite busy making domino brooches for the hospice to sell, so my challenges have been a bit thin on the ground.

This card covers 4 challenges, havn't managed to combine for ages. I used the wonderful sketch over at Cupcake Crafts, Daring asked for our favorite things some of mine are on this card, Sugar Nellie stamp, glitter and gems, Creative Card Crew wanted snowflakes, Simon Says asked for all that sparkles, bit difficult to see in this photo but the gems and glitter really sparkle. I've also used K&Co papers , cuttlebug embossing, copics and a bit of lace.
MIL tomorrow so I wont be back until Friday, thought I might do a stew and dumplings for her as it feels like winters on its way.
Ohh I nearly forgot I won 9 Pollycraft images in their blog hop, they are brilliant. Will try and find time to play at the weekend.

Sunday Sketch


Evening, I hope you have had a good weekend, why do they go so quick, even when we get an extra hour, I loved my last card so much I thought I'd do it again in another colour.
This time I used Ger's sketch from SS&Stamp, itsa lovely sketch and if you like circular cards it would work for one of those , I'm not that brill at cutting cards so I chickened out and used a Square card and stuck a circle to that. The stamp is Herb from WOJ coloured with copics and glittered, Bazill basics lilac card and the papers was a pressy so not sure where they came from, pearls on a string and three stick on pearlsfinish it off,
