Crimbo Crackers Challenge 70 - Buttons

It's time for another Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is:

Buttons

And here is a little something I created sort of by accident!  The card is from my stash and I've had it for ages - I cut it down to create the 13.5cm square card.  I've got quite a few buttons (not sure how that happened!) and thought they would look good as baubles for a quick and easy Christmas card.


I printed one of the sentiments from a Polkadoodles Christmas cd directly onto the card stock, added the buttons (used glossy accents) and then added the bows and strings along with the half pearls.  And that's it!

It's nice to do something a bit different every once in a while, and the best thing is, I made a few of these in less time than it takes to make one that I've coloured and really thought about!

Good luck with the challenge - it last 2 weeks and although there isn't a sponsor, I'll be providing a little prize!

Age Is Just A Number....

.... In your case, a really high one.  Say what you see!  To pinch a catchphrase!  Sentiment from the Birthday Sentiment Sheet 01 from Dr Digi - just great for when you need something quick.  And insulting.

I've used a We R Memory Keepers tool to make the stitching holes and then with a black fineliner pen, joined up the dots - faux stitching at its finest!  Papers I found in my stash (needed to use them up) and circles cut with dies.  Little bronze dinosaur charm from my ever growing stash of charms (can't knock ebay and China!)

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 69 - Clean and Simple

It's time for a new challenge at Crimbo Crackers and the theme for the fortnight is Clean and Simple.

I've printed my From The Heart Stamps image directly onto my cardstock and used Promarkers to colour. The sentiment also comes with the digi image.


I've glittered around the outside edge of the card and added blue organza ribbon with bakers twine, tied in a bow along with a silver snowflake charm. Nice and easy!

Good luck with the challenge - hope you can join me!
