Snow Much Fun

Morning All.

Well here it is, my first Christmas card of the year - seems very silly making it with sweat dripping off me in a heat wave- but hey.

The sketch I have used is from the new challenge over at Here Come The Boys, it is fab to use, and suitable for so many occasions, so why not pop on over and join in the fun.

The papers I have used are from Craft Creations, and the image is from LOTV, coloured with ProMarkers, and the whole card is finished with a hint of glamour dust - just for good measure.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas - snowmen

Hiding In My Craftroom - Christmas in July

Crafty Calender - colour challenge

Crafty Catz - Christmas in July

Creative Corner - Christmas in July

Christmas At Sweet Stampin' - snowmen

and

Crafting For All Seasons - Christmas in July

Thanks very much for looking, and I'll be back soon.

You're A Hoot

Afternoon All.

Another fortnight has flown by, and once again it is time for a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys.

It is a really easy one this time, it's........

'Anything Goes', (as long as it is male orientated, sorry no pink and girlies)

I've gone for a clean and simple looking card this time, but it is 8 layers of paper pieced parts - so not quite as simple as it looks - halfway through I wish I'd just coloured it in lol .

I would like to enter my little fellows in the following challenges;

613 Avenue Create - anything goes

Robyn's Fetish - things with wings

Allsorts - fur and feathers

and

Totally Papercrafts - all of a flutter

Thanks for looking, and enjoy the sun

Digi Time

Hello Again

Sorry for the long absences between posts, but I have been very lucky and found myself a job, upside is a regular pay packet :o), downside is less time to craft :o( but hey,I just consider myself lucky to have found something local, and in the field I'm trained for.

Today sees the start of another new challenge at Here Come The Boys, and this time round we would like to see your male orientated creations using a Digi stamp. I thought this would be a very seasonal creation for this challenge, and as I sit typing this, in whaffs the smell of someone BBQing.

Baby Bunny

Hello All.

Well another fortnight has flown by, meaning it must be time once again for a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys.

This time we would like to see you lovely male orientated creations that include 'Ribbon' on them.

I have used a very old Stampin' Up set to create my baby card - I just loved the sentiment, and have used a ribbon band, bow and rose on my card. As usual it has been coloured with ProMarkers and I could resist adding a little charm to finish it off.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Crafts 4 Eternity - the same letter (b - bunny, bottle, blue, bow)

Shrink Fun

Afternoon All

After fighting with the security on my computer, and clearing the old shed out ready to knock it down, I am finally ready to post my newest DT card for Here Come The Boys. This time round the challenge is to include 'Buttons' on your male orientated creation.

This is a card I made in one of my classes using the Stampin' Up Circle Circus set. I have used some of the stamps to create the background, and then have stamped on to Shrink Plastic, cut them out with various punches, added eyelet holes, so once shrunk, they formed matching buttons to my background. Finally I have hand stitched the buttons in place.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Addicted to CAS - birhday

Catch The Bug - bingo (button, die cut, sewing)

Delightful Challenges - bingo (buttons, tag, stitching)

and

Creative Moments - circles

Thanks so much for looking,
