From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - Birthday Month!

It's the first Friday in the month and you know what that means - a FTHS Blog Hop!!  This month we have a little twist - you have to still leave a comment on each of the blogs as you hop around but the difference is that you will need to email Faith with your guess of which month our Birthday falls - please don't leave a comment on our individual blogs as to which month you think it is.  If you guess correctly for all the Birthday's you could be in with a chance to win a $15 FTHS voucher!

Also, you can link up your own creation of a Birthday card which the winning entry could win a $10 FTHS voucher!  The link will remain open until 3 January so it gives you plenty of time to enter!

And there is more!  Each comment that is left on our blogs could be chosen to win an image of your choice from the store!  So at least three chances to win a wonderful image!

So, here is my Birthday month card - can you guess which month it is?!  I've used Easter Egg Birdbrains stamp and sentiment, coloured with Promarkers plus glossy accents.  The ribbon, half pearls and charm are from my stash.  I've added lilac glitter glue around the edge of the card and clear around the die cut circle sentiment.

If you've arrived at my blog from Michelle then you're on the right track - if you've randomly found me (hello!) then please start at the beginning as you don't want to miss any of the stops on the way!  Please leave me a comment and then hop over to the FTHS blog which is your last and final stop.  The hop will end on Monday 7 December at 6am EST and the winners will be posted on the FTHS blog on the 9 December.

Good luck!

I've used base card from my stash plus some pom pom ribbon I found.  Wooden snowflake is a parcel decoration from Sainsbury's (was buy two boxes get third free, so I have around 150 of these now!)  I found some silver peel offs in my stash so added the sentiment and star from one of those.  Not something I use any more but it looked ok!

The snowflakes have all been glittered and are Marianne Creatable die cuts and I've added a half pearl to the centre of each.

Time for a new sketch challenge at From The Heart Stamps and the sketch always has a twist!  You're able to either use the sketch or the twist or both but don't forget you must use a From The Heart digi in your creation.

I've used the very sweet Yeti, coloured him with Promarkers and I've layered up his body - his head is the second layer and his face is the third - you'll have to take my word for it as the photo doesn't really show it too well!

I've sort of followed the sketch as well!  I've coloured the circle behind the Yeti with Promarkers and added dabs of liquid pearls to look a little like stars.  Memory Box landscape die has also been used plus glitter around the edges.  And here is the sketch:

From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - CAS and OTT

Time for a hop!  Its' the first Friday in the month so its the From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop!

All the team were challenged to use the same image but to make one card clean and simple (CAS) and the other to be over the top (OTT).  There are some wonderful creations by the Design Team and as you hop through don't forget to leave each one of us a comment as a random commenter on each blog will be selected to win an image of choice from the store!

I've used the Snowman Hugs image and coloured both with Promarkers.  For the CAS card, I printed the image directly onto my cardstock, rounded the corners, added glitter glue around the edges and then added a white organza ribbon and bow to the front and tied a snowflake charm and handwritten tag to it.

And for the more OTT (well, as OTT as my cards get!) I've used a Memory Box die for the top and bottom borders, white satin ribbon and then the same sentiment and snowflake charm but added a year charm too.  I layered the image onto the card with foam pads so it stood out a little and then found some half pearls in my stash (I say 'found' which really means, felt I had to use some of the many thousands I seem to have....!)

So there are my two cards - hope you find lots of lovely inspiration as you hop through the team and don't forget, the Project 100 Snowmen images are only $1 in the store and snowmen are really quick to colour too!

You should have arrived at me from Michelle then you're on the right track, if not, please start at the beginning so you don't miss anyone - the start is the blog.  Once you've left me a comment then your next step is back to the FTHS blog.  Good luck!

The hop will end on Monday 9 November at 6am EST and winners will be announced on the FTHS blog on Wednesday 11 November.  Good luck!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 93 - Kraft or Buttons

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and because I couldn't decide on a challenge theme I've gone with:

Kraft or Buttons (or both!)

I've used a simple kraft card blank, rounded the corners, doodled a line around the edge plus added the dangling bows.  I then raided my button collection and added these with glossy accents along with the silver half pearls.

The sentiment is from Polkadoodles.  Good luck with the challenge!
