The new challenge on My Time To Craft is called Easy Elegance. I inked a blank card with Tea Dye Distress Ink and stamped a Crafty Individuals Flourish stamp using Adirondack Butterscotch ink around the edges. I then stamped a beautiful lady stamp by LB Crafts with the Butterscotch, and used the Tea Dye to edge the piece of card and rub over around the lady. I finished the card with some ribbon and pearly flower embellishments.
I made several Christmas folded thingys for friends and now they have all been received I can pop them on here! I tried to match the colour theme to what I hope they like!
Here is my attempt at Day 7 of Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas. I had to use an upside M for the W in snow as I has already used the one in the set of letters!
The theme on My Time To Craft is Contemporary Christmas and I have made a lilac card with a curly Christmas tree stamp that I hope fits the bill! It is an Anita's stamp and I don't know the make of papers, and I printed the greeting on the pc.
I missed out day 4 for now and have made my take on day 5, although I am still waiting for my grungeboard to arrive so have had to improvise with other things! Link to Tim's blog on the right hand side somewhere!
I am panicking now as time is getting short for finishing my Christmas cards, so have gone into production line mode and I am making several at once! I used my House Mouse Ho! Ho! Ho! stamp for these (another lot are under way too!)
I don't usually blog my photos, but when I got up this morning there was a beautiful orange glow outside and I opened the front door and took this pic!
I needed one more Moo so got my tapestry stamps out to make this one and stamped with Distress Inks and added Stickles to the holly berries - I wish I had more time to play with them as I love them!
We had a sketch to follow this week on My Time To Craft and here is my interpretation of it. I stamped an image using an Elusive Images stamp and used Dovecraft papers for the backgrounds, finishing with a message, a Prima and brads.
A sketch again this week for the Funky Fairys Challenge which can be found on the new forum, or to use 3D or decoupage. I followed the sketch, using Hope and Cherish papers, my House Mouse stamp, Nestabilities, Leone Em punch and Primas!
I am married with 3 grown up children ,4 grandchildren and 2 dogs! I have always done crafting of some sort, originally knitting, cross stitching and tapestry, then I began paper crafting some years ago and haven't looked back!
I like to take photos of my garden for scrapbooking and the one on here is a sunflower that the birds kindly planted for me!
P.S. - Now I have gone back to doing a lot of knitting, crocheting and sewing too!
