Snowflakes

The challenge on Something Completely Different this week was to use Blue, White and snowflakes. I've done a couple, as the handbag card was an unfinished project put to one side for when I felt like threading beads onto a wire, so thanks SCD for giving me the kick I needed to get on with it. The big snowflake was given to me by a friend, as were the blue papers. tfl

Post Pals and SCD

Here is a card and little notepad I made for Ayesha from Post Pals This is a fantastic charity that helps to bring a smile to a sick child - read about it by clicking on the link. Ayesha likes baking cakes (and I like eating them) so I used my craftwork card templates to create these for her. Inside the notebook, the pages are different colour card, so she can write her cake recipes if she wants to.














This next card is for the week 27 Challenge on SCD which is 'Pink with a christmas tree' I have used my very versatile tree stamp, glittered it up and added some silver embellishments. Check out the blog for some very different and lovely DT samples

Something Completely Different

Over on the SCD challenge blog the theme this month is cards (Yay) and this week its the colours red, gold and green with the addition of holly and ivy. This really gave me the kick I needed to get on with some christmas cards and I managed to do 3 for the challenge. They are all quite blingy as I do like a bit of sparkle.
















Also, I made a birthday card for one of DS's friends - yep, the dreaded teenage boy card. I always find as in real life - if in doubt, resort to food.

Week 2 another Moo

Well I thought I'd have another go at these babies, and this weeks theme at SCD is 'cirlces' I remembered I had a 'buttons' stamp that came free with a magazine ages ago, so I used that on an inked background. I had some sewing type embellishments that were sent to me as a swap, so I made use of them and here's what I came up with










........and here's the card I made with it.

Mooooooooo

Something Completely Different is really living up to its name this week. The challenge is to create a 'moo card' in black and gold. I'd not heard of these before, but they are 2.8cm x 7cm,- fine I thought, but I didn't realise quite how small that is. Its amazing what the DT have managed to fit onto their examples, while I meanwhile, have managed one stamp.













.........and here it is made into a topper

SCD Challenge

This week on Something Completely Different, we were challenged to make a 'Birdhouse' - yes you read that correctly. I used Dreamstreet paper for the house and Doodlebug for the background. The birdie stamp is something I won from a previous challenge. Excuse the awful pun, I know its been used to death but if fits. tfl.

2 Challenges

I managed to get a couple of challenges done this week. Over on SDC this month its 'postcards' and the theme is 'faces'. I remembered I still had this stamped image sent to me by a freind, and I just added some glitter & a few embellishments to jazz it up.















Secondly, this card is for the PBS challenge which is 'red, white & blue' in honour of the American Flag.

Two Challenges - One Project

Today I managed to combine challenges. Over on Something Completely Different, this weeks challenge is to create a tag, and the theme is 'Crowns'. I've had this chipboard crown for ages, I covered it with 3 bugs papers and added a few embellishments. This weeks DCM challenge is to make a card with a sick child in mind. They have linked up with the charity Post Pals, an organisation that was set up to create smiles for children who suffer from life threatening and long term illnesses. The idea is to post the card to one of the children featured on the home page of Post Pals. Life seems to be throwing me lemons at the moment, but after reading these childrens' moving stories, I realise how lucky I am. Here's the card I made for Amy P.

Challenge 6 Something Completely Different

This week on SDC the theme for June is tags and the topic is Home. Mine is more of a topper than a tag, but anyway, I hand drew a smaller version of a mushroom template I had, and used Imaginisce papers to cover it - I thought the red spotty paper was ideal for a toadstool. Pop over to the SCD Challegne blog to see some really inspiring DT samples. x

Challenge Sunday

I managed to get a couple of challenges done this weekend. First over at Something Completely Different this weeks task is to make a tag with a Stars & Stripes theme. I love making tags, so thanks to all at SCD for making June tag month. And here it is using 3 Bugs paper and a footie sticker











OK next up is Penny Black Saturdayand this weeks theme is 'Blooming Gorgeous'. I could have gone completely OTT as primas are one of my favourite things, up there with Chocolate and Johny Depp. Anyway I used an image that I won (Blog candy) and coloured it with copics and added only 3 glittered flowers.
