Baby It's Cold Outside

Day two of my holibags - now to find a challenge. Found one over on Funky Fairy's Blogspot - oh no, what to do, I don't have any Funky Fairy products - but wait they actually have freebies to download.

So here it is I have used the blue and white spotty paper from the free blue Christmas download, the circle has been embossed with the Cuttlebug snowflake folder, the little snowman I purchased from Mad About Cards last year, ice blue ribbon from my stash, some layered snowflakes and the sentiment is computer generated (I'm rubbish at stamping sentiments).

Lunch in a minute and then I am going to make a few more of these - thank you Funky Fairy.

Thanks for looking!

Carol's Sketch Fun Challenge

Card # 2 today for Carol's Sketch Fun Challenge #5.

I have used more or less the same materials as my earlier card today; my new Sugar Nellie soft centre stamp coloured with Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, papers from the lovely Vicki's Pink Coffee Cream range, a prima flower, a little stick on gem and sentiment from my stash (I had stamped a sentiment directly onto the card and made a bit of a boo boo).

Thanks for looking!

Yippee!

I've got a few days off work this week so guess what I'm going to be doing? Super organised this morning - breakfast, read the paper, washed the dishes, made beef and orange curry, shepherds pie, bolognese and carrot and coriander soup to be frozen later (domestic goddess or what!), put on and hung out a washing, cleaned the bathroom, tidied the bedroom, did some banking and it's still only 10.30. I could get used to this.

Now for my Papertake Weekly Challenge entry based on Dawny's very first sketch.

I have used one of my new Sugar Nellie soft centre stamps coloured with Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, papers from the lovely Vicki's Pink Coffee Cream range, some doodling using a Sakura gel pen, some layered Cricut cut flowers, sequins, ribbon and sentiment from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

Skint!

Went along to the craft exhibition at the SECC today. Amongst my purse busting purchases were patchwork alphabet and sentiment stamps by Dimension Forth, X-cut punches and border system, five Sugar Nellie stamps (including some of the new soft centres) and the lovely Kath sold me a Fiskars bow maker for a fiver.

It was lovely to meet Kath in person. The poor soul was shattered after four days demonstrating - even her comfy slippers had given up the ghost.

Anyway, here is my first card using my new acquisitions.

Thanks for looking!

Meowy Christmas

Here is my entry for the Secret Crafters Challenge based on Donna's sketch.

I have used a PB image coloured with Whispers pens, Pink Petticoat papers, velvet ribbon, sentiment computer generated and liquid pearls.

Oh and stitching around the outside with my new mini sewing machine - first attempt which looks as if I have had a gin and tonic or two too many!



The second card is for Mojo Monday using the same materials with the addition of another Pink Petticoat paper, some snowflakes and some bling.

Thanks for looking!

The Stars At Night

Here is my entry for this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge which is to create a card either with stars or something spooky.

I have used a PB stamp coloured with Whispers pens, my Cricut to cut the star, small confetti stars sprinkled all over the card and there are silver glitter stars on the present. It's a poor photo I'm afraid but I'm too tired to fix it - will try tomorrow.

Thanks for looking!

Woof Woof

Here is my first entry on the SBS challenge blog which is to create a card featuring dogs and/or puppies.



I've used a PB image but in very muted colours zinged up with a little gold. The papers are scraps from Summer Driggs Vintage Oreos which were left over from a previous card.



I am so behind now that I won't be doing any more challenges unless they feature a Christmas card (only done 7 so far).
