Angels

Wow I seem to be in the blog land zone this week and I have had a busy week at work. Good job my husband takes care of the housework and meals lol. Just plucked the courage up and tried my luck at being a DT member for C.R.A.F.T Challenge.  It was their  Christmas Challenge 355, that inspired me to make this card of which I am entering. I made some cards for a work colleague 2015 xmas and she loved them, so has given me an order for this year. One that stood out to me was a one for her god daughter, I  purchased this set of toppers online from The Hobby House . It seemed to fit in with the theme, got plenty of time to make another one if  its not right.
Anyway on to the card, its made using Elizabeth Bell - Christmas Angels  The backing paper I embossed with a 6x6 Crafters Companion Christmas Folder, then rubbed over with a gold ink pad to pick up the baubles. The snow flake is a Memory Box die and the sentiment from Wild Rose, stamped and embossed.

Afternoon, just been looking through some of my favourite challenges and noticed C.R.A.F.T Challenges Blog are looking for new DT members.  Here is a link to the call C.R.A.F.T Design Team Call, should not be sharing this really as I would love it to be me......... If you want to apply for the position all you need to do is, showcase some of your recent makes, it does not only have to be cards, it can be anything crafty.

I just love crafting, card making is what I love to do the most. I have just at the beginning of the year started using my blog again. I often use CD Roms, paper packs, Digi stamps and also recycling old cards, I am a hoarder. Also my Ultimate Pro comes in handy at times, as I also like to make boxes for the cards to go into. I would love to be a DT member, as I think this challenge is great, lots of different themes.  I like browse quite a lot of blogs, to look at other peoples work, as we are all so different. If I look I always  leave a comment would be rude not too.

Thanks for looking, fingers crossed.

Need For Speed

Why not join us over at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 269, This week we are being sponsered by Kenny K Stamps, the digi stamp I have used is Need For Speed What a cute guy he is and of course one hot car!. I have been digging deep in my hidden stash and came across these papers from a first bundle I bought years ago. Again I picked colours from the backing paper, when colouring image in. Layered the backing paper on to a grey fine glitter card, then on to black card stock. Used black gems, ribbon and charm to finish it off. The sentiment, just made up on the computer.

Smile


Hello just been having a play over the weekend
with my stash I had forgot all about. This A5 card is made from A Forever Freinds paper pad, its amazing what you can make when you are in the zone.
I cut the image away and luckily it fit snug into my Timeless Rectangle die from Spellbinders. Used the other papers in the pad to create rectangles, matted them on to some black card stock. The sentiment is stamped from a free set of stamps from a magazine, added some gems and ribbon for added effect. For once an easy male card.

O is for Owl

Hello, hope everyone is keeping well, the weather just cant make its mind up at the minute. Here is my card I made for the challenge over at Pennys Paper-Crafty Challenge 268 Anything Goes. This week we are sponsered by Melonheadz, which image I am using O is for Owls, some cuties in this set. The rest of the team are using Dis Digi Stamps, why not pop across for a look.
With my images I decided to make a birthday card, I choose the image celebrating a birthday, there is quite a lot on this set. This time I picked out my backing paper first before I coloured the image, so much easier, will have to try it more often. Very quick and easy card, matted and layered, coloured image with promakers and made the sentiment on the computer.
If you take a look at my card and leave a message it would be nice if you followed my blog, as I dont have many followers x Thanks Jean xx
