MUM Word Book

I made a word book for my mum for Mother's Day, so now she has got it, I can blog it!! I used a Funky Hands CD for the letters and some papers, and others were from Funky Fairys Papercrafts, plus an assortment of my cute stamps which I know she likes and embellishments.

Green Christmas Cards

The challenge on Christmas Cards All Year Round this month is to make 5 cards using mostly green and to include leaves. I used Elusive Images stamps for the top 3 cards, and a Personal Impressions holly leaf stamp for the bottom two. So that's another 5 to add to the pile ready for Christmas!

Postage Moo

The challenge on Make a Moo or Two this week is Postage, so I found some suitable Tanda stamps for the background and used Distress Inks, and a few images to add to finish it.

Yellow Inchie

The theme on InchybyInch this week is to use Yellow - so I have used my diddy little chick stamp from Funstamps for mine!

Funky Fairys Challenge - Scrapbook Page

The challenge on Funky Fairys Challenge this week is to make a Scrapbook Page - any theme, but using at least one Funky Fairys Papercrafts product to be in with a chance of winning a fab download kit from Funky Fairys. For my DT LO I used Dots are Distressing paper for the background, and Funky Meets Shabby Chic for the little green flowers. I also used my Slice to cut the black flowers and little leafy bits and Heidi Grace stamps for the swirls.

Red and Green and Sketch

The challenge on Penny Black Saturday this week is to use a sketch, and the theme on Colour Create is to use Red and Green. I decided to make a Christmas card, so stamped my PB teddy and watercoloured him in, then used red and green Christmas papers (Dovecraft?? - not sure!) and used my Nesties, and a scallop trimmer blade to do all the squiggly bits, finishing with Primas and Stickles.

Jigsaw Moo

The theme on Make a Moo or Two this week is to use a Jigsaw piece on our moos. I had a Catslife Press stamp that was ideal for this, and some teeny weeny jigsaw pieces that I chalk inked to add too.

Orange, Yellow and Green Tag

The theme on Colour Create this week is Orange, Yellow and Green, and to make something other than a card. I made an Easter Tag that I might make into a card later! I used Funky Fairys Dots are Distressing paper, Stampendous chick stamps and Primas etc. to embellish.

Doll Twinchie

The theme on Small World of Inchies and Twinchies is Dolls - so here is my Twinchie (2" x 2"). I used a downloaded image, unknown backing paper, some 7 Gypsies rub ons and various embellishments, and Antique Linen Distress Ink generally rubbed around!

I stamped my PB rabbit and coloured her in, and used Funky Fairys Papercrafts Dots are Distressing papers (link on the right sidebar for details to purchase download).

Silhouette

The theme on the monthly Florrie ATC Challenge on Craft Swap Forum is to make an atc with a Silhouette. I coloured my background with Distress Inks, splattered with water and spritzed with a Silver Glimmer Mist (doesn't show up too well on the photo) then stamped Moonlit Fairy and clear embossed it and finally edged the atc with Silver Krylon and added some gems to finish.

Elzybells Sketch Challenge

I saw the sketch on the Elzybells Challenge Blog and here is my card! PP's (not sure whose) and Elzybells stamps together with punched flowers and gems to complete the card.

Fruit and Vegetables

The challenge on Make a Moo or Two this week is Fruit and Vegetables! I found some HOTP images and cut them out to put on my moo, adding some words, edging with Copper Krylon pen and finishing with a brad.

Blue and Yellow Easter Card with Die Cuts and Ribbon

I have had fun with this card combining 3 challenges and putting as much on my card as I can in an attempt to try and use some of my huge stash mountain! I needed to make an Easter card for the Anything Goes Challenge on Craft Swap Forum. Arty Girlz' theme this week is Blue and Yellow, and the challenge on The Pink Elephant is to use Die Cuts and Ribbon. I used my Sugar Nellie Maggie stamp, DCWV papers, Nestabilities die cut and the swirl is done on my Slice, and ribbon at the bottom of the card.

Hats

The new theme on My Time to Craft Challenge blog is Hats. I used a Cuddly Buddly stamp, Charley, and coloured her in with a variety of my pens, Sakuras, Marvy Le Plumes etc. I matted her using Nestabilities onto pp's and added Primas and a message to finish.

Snow Dogs

A challenge on UKS asked us to use Punches on our LOs. I made a DLO from my snow pics last month. All the blue snowflakes are punched ones. The words SNOW DOGS are cut with my Slice, and the papers are Sandylion - I am such a trendy scrapper!
