CYDA Challenge #34 - Buttons or Bows

Time for a new theme on Craft Your Days Away and the challenge for the next two weeks is Buttons or Bows.  I chose to use buttons on my DT work, which is again an altered beer mat, using K & Co bp and embellishment, and a Crafty Individual image.

The challenge is sponsored by Crafty Emma's Store and you could win a fab prize if you take part.

V for Very Vibrant

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is V for Very Vibrant.  My card actually looks a lot more vibrant than this photo, I am finding it hard to find decent light to take photos lately!  I used some Dovecraft bp and a Unity flower stamp coloured with Promarkers.

RRC Challenge #17 - Music

The new theme on Ruby's Rainbow Challenge for the next two weeks is Music.  For my DT work I have made another beermat, using some music notes bp and some peel offs and an embellishment from my stash that I am pleased to use up!

MTTC Challenge #17 - Under The Weather

A new challenge on My Time To Craft, and as from this week this blog is now going fortnightly.  The theme is Under The Weather, and as I am a bit under the weather at the moment I made a quick little card using a Penny Black Stickeroo which are so useful when time is short.

SFC Challenge #25 - Vintage Christmas

Time for a new theme on Sparkles Forum Challenge, and this time it is Vintage Christmas.  You could win a fab prize of a $10 spend at Stitchy Bear if you take part so pop on over and enter.

For my DT work I altered a beermat using Basic Grey bp and an image from an old Christmas card that I had saved for just such a theme!

MTTC Challenge #166 - Take Two

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Take Two - to use 2 of something.  For my DT work I altered another beermat, and used 2 bps, an image of 2 people, 2 words and 2 sets of 2 metallic railheads.  

CYDA Challenge #33 - Embellishment Bingo

Time for a new challenge on Craft Your Days Away and Joanne has chosen something different for us!  We have a bingo card of embellishments and we have to choose a line of 3 items to use on our work.  The challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and the lucky winner will receive a $10 voucher for their online store.

For my DT work I altered a beermat and chose Lace, Gems and Charm for my line of embellishments.

U for Under The Sea

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog for the next 2 weeks is U for Under The Sea.  I have altered another beermat for my DT work - I just love these, they are such a nice size to work on!  I rummaged through my holiday bits and bobs and found some papers and embellishments ideal for this challenge!

RRC Challenge #16 - Something With Wings

Another 2 weeks have flown by and now it is time for a new challenge on Ruby's Rainbow Challenges.  The theme this time is Something With Wings and I made a gothic arch for my DT work using lots of winged things!

MTTC Challenge #165 - Sun, Moon and Stars

The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Sun, Moon and Stars - and we had to use one or a combination of those things.  For my DT work I made a LO of my granddaughter wearing her fleecy star top.  The alphas are American Crafts, and the swirly thing and stars are cut on my Cricut.  The starry bp is from a pack of Papermania I have had for ages.

SFC Challenge #24 - Autumn

The new theme for the next fortnight on Sparkles Forum Challenges is Autumn.  This time we are sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads and the lucky winner will receive 5 digis so come on over and take part!

For my DT work I altered another beermat using a photo I took a couple of years ago of a beautiful tree in our local country park, Forty Hall, and used Bo Bunny bp and the word Autumn off the front cover of a book of Tim Holtz images!

SFCC Challenge #10 - Angels

Another month has gone by so it is time for a new theme on the monthly challenge blog, Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenges and this time it is Angels.  We are sponsored for this challenge by Lili of the Valley and you could win a £10 voucher if you have a go.

For my DT work I have altered another beermat (my collection is growing rapidly!) and used some papers by Dovecraft (I think, I am useless at remembering what I've used!)  for the background and image, adding some sparkle and a Tim Holtz Doodad to embellish.


I am also entering this for 
Totally Papercrafts - Glitter It

MTTC Challenge #164 - Rainy Days

Time for a new theme on My Time To Craft, these weeks go by so quick, but from 22nd November we will be changing to a fortnightly challenge.  This week the challenge is Rainy Days.  For my DT work I used a Sugar Nellie image and some downloaded bps (no longer available) to make my card.  I coloured the Card Candi with Copics.  The corners are cut with a Cuttlebug die, and the leaves with a Leone Emm punch.
