- Link to store is HERE 

- Link to image is HERE 

  

The Reindeer has been coloured using promarkers. I've glittered up the antlers too. What christmas card hasn't got a bit of sparkle?! Each card has a different greeting which is a peel off. 

Super quick post from me! 

Enjoy the challenge and see you over there! 

MTTC DT - Let It Snow!

How very apt that it did actually snow in Birmingham, UK on Friday night ready for our challenge  of Let It Snow over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

We want to see snow or snowflakes in your images this time around. 

I used an image out of the Hunky Dory Topper Pads. They are amazing!! 

The wording is wooden wording that I've had for ages and I added a couple of cute little bells to the ribbon bow :)  

Love the little owl and the little mousey hanging off the branch in the top right corner. 

Super quick from me as I'm working.... boooooo! 

Enjoy the challenge! 

CF DT - Fairy Ink

Eeeeek! I love the image I've used for this card!! 

Let's start the post off properly! 

Good Morning! 

I hope you are all well wherever you are around the world. 

This week we are sponsored by the awesome Faery Ink - Link to shop HERE 

over at Creative Fingers - Link is HERE 

 As always the theme is "Anything Goes" 

This challenge will be our last for 2015 and will last 2 weeks. 

So here's what I come up with...

I LOVE this image!!! Image is called Holiday Tree Destiny - Link is HERE

She is soooo super cute! I knew straight away that I would be using her for my little cousin's Christmas card. Abigail is not very girly so I decided to colour her blue. The blonde hair represents Abigail too. I have used a 6x6 paper sheet and an embossed card with swirls on the background which have both been layered on to grey and cyan coloured card. The ribbon is from IKEA and it's got the wire running around the edge so it's easy manipulated. She has been coloured using Promarkers. 

Here's a few more pics...

  

There you have it! I really enjoyed making this card. Have fun with the challenge! 

I am also entering this into the following challenges : 

1. Crafty Catz - Shades of Blue

2. Star Stampz - All About Girls
3. Faery Ink FB Group - Winter Wonderland

Thanks for popping by! 

MTTC DT - Quilt It!

Morning! 

A brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft today - Link is HERE 

This fortnights challenge is 

"Quilt It!" 

We want to see anything quilted on your projects, you could do ready made papers or make your own. 

Here's what I've come up with

I've actually made a christmas card!! The topper is from the Cute Christmas Pad by Hunkydory. The quilted paper I have had this for ages!!! Added the brad and ribbon, which was from Next. Love next ribbon. Rather than using a greeting printed off the pc, I decided to use a wooden wording. I think it works. 

Anyhow's, I hope to see you join the challenge :) 

Creative Fingers DT - Anything Goes

Morning! 

On the blog today, finally, a Christmas card! 

It's the 2nd one I've done now LOL Still need to get a wiggle on tho! EEEEK! 

So the challenge over at Creative Fingers is Anything Goes but it's running for TWO WEEKS - Link is HERE 

We are sponsored this week by the awesome Scrappers Delight - Link to store is HERE 

I got to use the adorable Sophie Victorian - Link to image is HERE

Here's what I did 

Coloured her up with Promarkers, wanted to add a bit of colour from the normal traditional colours but also wanted to keep the background CAS with white embossing so she pops out. Added a ribbon and bow, had to add a bell too. I love those little bells. And then I came across the die-cut signs I completely forgot I had! I think they finish off the card. Added a couple of gems for some sparkle and finished. 

Hope to see you by the blog, what's easier than an anything goes challenge right?!

I'm also entering in to the following challenge:

1. Crafty Catz - Embossing
 

DTBS - Make it Fly

Hi Sassy Fans! 

I hope you are all well. 

I'm back on the Dare To Be Sassy team for this month - Link is HERE 

So the challenge for this week is 

"Make it Fly " 

I've used Virgo - Link is HERE 

But I've given her a frosty kind of look :) 

Decided to make her in to a christmas card. I think she's very versatile! The spotty card is one half of a card from Ikea - I love them!! And the snowflakes are die-cut. I just had to get a button and some twine on there too ;) The image itself is coloured using promarkers. Added a few pearls for an extra touch too. 

Hope to see your awesome creations on the blog!

I got to use the super cute image of The Mittens - Link is HERE 

Here's the sketch : 

And here's what I've come up with...

I decided to go with red and white as I love this for Christmas cards. This is only the second or third one I've made! EEEEKKK! I really need to start them! 

The image has been coloured in using promarkers. The background itself is embossed and the ribbon is from Next. You get 3 on a spool. Not bad really! 

Here's some more pics... 

I'll definitely be using this image again! 

Hope to see you all stop by the blog :) 

CWWC DT - Sketch challenge

Good Morning! 

I'm now on day my 6th day of working in a row. I do not mind doing it but I neeeeed to craft! LOL 

This weeks challenge over at Crafting When We Can is a sketch! My favourite! 

- Link is HERE.

 

This week we are sponsored by Inky Impressions and I've had the image "Angelica's Yummy's" to play with - Link to image HERE

I went with a christmas theme as I wanted to use the gingerbread couple on the backing tray. I love gingerbread men especially the one out of Shrek. He cracks me up! the image itself was colouring using Tombow pens and Copics. The paper is out of a vintage paper stack that I've had for ages! Always the way. 

Anyhoo's, enough rambling. Do stop by the blog and play along with the sketch :) 

MTTC DT - Christmas in July

The dreaded "C" word... Christmas! 

I really must start my christmas cards tho as I always run out! 

Anyhoo's, new challenge over at My Time To Craft this week is "Christmas in July" 

- link is HERE. 

So show us your christmas designs! 

I've had the papers for aggggeeeesssssss! And never knew what to do with them until now! And I think this image is perfect for the papers. I did choose the papers before I coloured the image, and I love it! I used the 3 main colours with a bit of white thrown in too. Also had to get my new embossing snow folder in there too and of course a snowflake! Sentiment was printed off the pc. The image is from Melonheadz.

So that's one down and about 63 to go LOL! 

DTBST - Christmas In July

EEEEKKK! The dreaded "C" word already?! 

I must admit, I need to start my christmas cards. 

Anyhoo's, this week I thought I'd do something a bit different for the challenge over at DTBST - Link is HERE. I've decorated a black paper bag...

I've used the awesome image of Candy Cane - link is HERE. 

It was a toss up between Candy Cane the Elf and Pin Up Snowman! Was a very close call but I remembered that I had the papers so went with Candy Cane and I'm so glad I did.. I love her!! 

She's been coloured mainly in Spectrum Noir's but promakers for her hair. The big pink bow is attached with a snowflake brad which fits in perfectly. 

An inspiring challenge this week if, like me, you've not started your christmas cards! 

My Time To Craft DT - Make A Scene

Wow... Am I having problems with blogger again..

Hence the post being super late! 

Over at MTTC this week, our challenge is "Make A Scene" 

This has been made using die-cuts. I love this die. So many ways to use it. I've added a hint of colour too as to not make it completely white. The snowflakes have been punched out too. Twine, button & pearls to finish :) 

Super quick post. Will enjoy looking at the entries

My Time To Craft DT - ATC

Good Morning! 

I have no idea what happened with last weeks post.. it's just disappeared! 

Some great Snowman creations as well. 

This weeks challenge over at MTTC is "ATC"

An ATC is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches for anyone that doesn't know. 

This is what I've come up with....

I've used glitter snowf;ake papers,wood greeting and die cut snowflakes. I HAD to add some bling too :) 

More than likely, I'll put this on a card with the same background and use this as a focal point. 

I did struggle with this a lilly but I'm happy with the outcome. 

Crafting When We Can DT - Clean & Simple

Good Morning! 

Hope everyone is okay and the weather isn't too bad where you are. It's pretty dull and wet where I am. We just haven't had any snow yet...

That's a nice tie in to the new challenge over at CWWC this fortnight. 

 Clean & simple is the challenge and we are sponsored by

A Randon Fan. 

I've used the image Christmas Decor which can be found HERE.

The image has been coloured using promarkers. I may add some glitter to it as well. I'll update the post if I do :) I've used a snowflake embossing folder for the background and added some red gems to contrast with the green layering and the green ribbon. 

A super quick post from me today. Enjoy the challenge! 

My Time To Craft DT - Time & Space

Good Morning! 

Hope everyone is well on this dull morning.. I'm back this week. I really struggled with the decoupoage challenge from last week at MTTC. You know when you try so many different images and nothing looks right?! I had that. Then admitted defeat :( 

But, this weeks challenge isn't a struggle, for me anyways :) 

"Time & Space" is our new challenge. 

You can think outside the box with this one. The possibilities are endless.

I've gone with Space & even made a christmas card! 

This super cute guy is from Digi Stamp Boutique, he can be found HERE. The sentiment comes with the digi too. I've coloured him using promarkers. I couldn't decide whether to glitter up his christmas hat, so I didn't but no doubt I will end up doing so! LOL 

I think I will be using him a lot this year for my christmas cards. 

Looking forward to seeing how the theme is interpreted. 

Thanks for stopping by :) 

My Time To Craft DT - Tag It!

Good Morning! 

I hope it's dried up in your part of the world. I love autumn but hate the rain! 

Bit of a calmer weekend this weekend for me. Birthday celebrations are well and truly over but I do still have cake left! 

Anyways, this weeks challenge over at MTTC is 

Tag It!

(make a tag that's not attached to a card)

I struggled with this! I made xmas tags last year but I had no inspiration at all until I looked at some of the xmas images I'd coloured, then bingo! 

 

Here's what I've got... It's not your conventional tag mind...

The boot is a digi from Just Inklined. I do love their images. I've glittered up fur and the buckle. Well if you've got bubbles in a bottle, it'd be rude not to glitter up the boot! The white card has been embossed as well. And of course..... order is restored!! The button and twine are back!! Sentiment printed off the computer. 

 

Here's a few more pics... 

 

 It will be interesting to see what everyone comes up with. Enjoy!

 

My Time To Craft DT - Santa

Hello everyone! 

Hope you are all well. 

Had gremlins in the system. Hopefully all fixed now though :)

Straight into it today for me.. have a weekend full of celebrations as it's my birthday on Sunday.. I'm going to be 30! EEEEKKK!!! Exciting! 

So, the challenge over at MTTC this week is Santa. 

I love a Santa card. I made this card for my dad off my mom. 

His coloured with promarkers and is from Make It Crafty. His a bit of a cheeky, cheery Santa. Didn't want to go OTT with this card either. The spots are a bit overpowering lol. No twine or buttons either.. think I was having one of those days! 

Anyhows, must dash.. enjoy your week and I look forward to seeing all those Santa's! 

Crafting When We Can DT - Christmas Come Early

Good Morning! 

Welcome to another challenge over at CWWC. This fortnights challenge is

"Christmas come early" 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Inky Impressions. 

As soon as I seen this image, I loved it! So, here's what I've come up with, 

That's one christmas card done, about 2 million to do LOL! I wasn't sure about the snowflakes but stuck with them anyways. And as always, had to get some ribbon in there somewhere :)

Off to get some inspiration for more christmas cards! 

My Time To Craft DT - Christmas in June

Good Morning! 

I hope it's nice and sunny where you are... you'll need to keep this in mind for the challenge over at My Time To Craft this fortnight. Our new challenge is 

"Christmas in June!" 

I for one, HATE christmas cards!! 

No matter how many you make, you still end up running out!! Sooooooo annoying! 

Anyhows, on to the card I've made for the challenge: 

Naughty or Nice? 

I wanted to use my kraft card for this card and the image fitted perfectly. The image is from Kenny K. She's been coloured using both Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers. I couldn't decide so used both! Sentiment is printed of the pc. Of course I had to get soem twine on there ;) 

I think I'm going to make a head start on my xmas cards... I say this every year and it never happens!

I'll look for some inspiration anyways ;) 

 

My Time To Craft DT - White on White Christmas Card

Hello everyone! Hope You are all well.

Time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft. This week the theme is...

"White on White Christmas Card"

This means that the card is all white apart from the image. 

For my card, I've used dies to cut out a winter scene. I also embossed the card around the scene in a snowflake embossing folder. And of course, no christmas card is complete without a snowflake! 

Here's my card:

Full Card

I have used a glitter pen on the winter scene to show the sparkling snow and I added some "stars" to the blue so it looks more like a starry night. The sentiment is printed from the pc. A few white pearls have been added to finish off the card. I think my Mom has pinched it to give to her friend this christmas! 

Winter Scene

Greeting and Snowflake
