The new theme for the next fortnight on Craft Your Days Away is Father's Day/Special Man. Simon Says Stamp is sponsoring the challenge this time and there is a fab prize of a $10 spend from their store, so pop over and enter for a chance of winning.
For my DT work I made a card using an image from an old calendar! I distressed the edges of some bp and matted it onto that, printed a sentiment from the computer and just added some gold nailheads for embellishment, keeping it fairly simple.
The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is D for Dogs, and I decided to do a LO for my DT work. I took a photo of two of our dogs the other day which I thought was a cute one so used this. The bps are from a bumper pack from Costco and the alphabet is AC.
This fortnight Ruby's Rainbow Challenges is having a DT call so pop over to the blog and apply if you would like to have a chance of joining the team.
The theme this time is Daughter + Denim (Blues) and for my DT work I made a LO using some of my lovely NRN bp sadly no longer available, and some photos of my daughter from many years ago! The foam alphabet is I think by Papermania, flowers and brads are from my stash.
The new theme on My Time To Craft is Use a Die Cut. For my DT card I used some K & Co bp and a floral sticker, I cut mats on my Cricut and used a Cuttlebug die on my Big Shot for the decorative corners. The butterflies are punched with a MS punch.
The new challenge on Sparkles Forum Challenges blog for this fortnight is Something Metal, and there is a fab prize of 5
digi images from Di's Digi Downloads, so pop over to the blog and have a go! For my DT work I used a Penny Black stamp, coloured in with Promarkers and used some bp I've had in a pile for ages, unknown brand! My Something Metal is the dragonfly and pink flower brads. The lacy edge was made with a Martha Stewart punch.
The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog this week is CAS ~ Clean and Simple. I like to do these cards sometimes as less can be more quite effectively and it can be easy to get carried away and throw lots of things on cards sometimes! For my DT work I used a Penny Black Stickeroo, some MM gingham BP and a few gems, the sentiment is by Daisy and Dandelion.
The new theme on My Time To Craft is Toybox Treasures. For my DT card I stamped my image and coloured in with Promarkers and Copics. The bps are by Daisy and Dandelion, the corners are cut with a Cuttlebug die and the leaves are punched. I finished off with Card Candy and Liquid Pearls.
It was my turn to set the theme for Craft Your Days Away and I chose White plus One Other Colour. There is a fab prize of 3 digis images of choice from Heart Song Designs, so pop over to the blog and take part, the challenge runs for 2 weeks.
For my DT work I used one of my Maggie Sugar Nellie stamps, and coloured her with Promarkers and Copics (I always use a mixture!). The bp is DCWV.
Thanks to blogger being out of action for about 24 hours I finally managed to post the Alphabet Challenge yesterday evening, then promptly forgot to put it on my own blog! The theme for this week is B for Brads and Bling, and for my DT work I used one of my lovely House Mouse images and some free bp. The dragonfly is a brad and there is bling on the dragonfly body, plus I glittered the wings, it doesn't show up too well on the pic though.
We are on to the third challenge on Shaz's new fortnightly challenge blog, Ruby's Rainbow Challenges, and the theme is Cherry Red + Christmas. We would love it if a few more people could take part, so pop over and maybe make a start on some Christmas cards! For my DT work I made a LO for my son's baby album which I have finally got round to making!
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Scallops. For my DT work I used a Cuddly Buddly image coloured in with Promarkers and Copics, and cut scalloped mats with Nesties. The strip behind is cut with a wavy cutter on my paper trimmer and the bp is printed from a download that is no longer available.
The new challenge for this fortnight on Sparkles Forum Challenges is a Recipe:~

For my DT work I made my card using K & Co papers I have had for ages, and a cute little Hero Arts owl stamp that I coloured with Promarkers. I also coloured the flowers with a Promarker to match, and added Card Candy and gems to the centres. The greeting is by Daisy and Dandelion.
We are back to the beginning of the alphabet again on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and the theme this week is Around the World. For my DT work I made a tag using Distress Inks and Crafty Individuals images and stamps.
The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Red and White. For my DT work I made a simple card, I cut a mat with a Nestie, stamped one of my well-used favourite Hero Arts stamps and coloured the image in with Copics, also edging the mat with one. I edged and doodled round the card, and added Card Candy blobs and greeting.
The theme on the monthly challenge blog Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenges, is Holly or Ivy. It was originally going to be Holly and Ivy, so for my DT work I managed to find an ivy stamp that I used on the background of my tag, inked with Adirondack Lettuce, and I used a Crafty Individuals image that I distressed the edges of and attached to the tag. I finished with felt ric rac, a charm fan, and red jewels. There is a prize of a £10 voucher for Joanne Sheen online store, so pop over to the blog and take part - it is never too early to start on those Christmas cards!!
