The ribbon is from my stash along with the half pearls and the sentiment is a magazine freebie from Ladybug Inks Crafts from a while ago.

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 12 - Families

It will teach me to leave things to the last minute! I had no power this morning and because I'd not written the Crimbo Crackers challenge post, nor this one, everything is a few hours behind!

There is a new Crimbo Crackers challenge this fortnight and the theme is

Families

This can be humans or animals but as long as more than two people / animals are depicted and that it is Christmas or Festive related then it can be entered!

I have a new sponsor to Crimbo Crackers - Crafty Sentiment Designs who are offering 3 digis to the winner of this challenge!I got to play with one of their images - Snowman Couple - which I have coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from Funky Hand - Dreams Come True cd and I've added glitter glue around the edges plus a very sparkly Christmas tree decoration which I found lurking at the bottom of my Christmas box! The ribbon bow at the top looks a bit of an odd colour in the photo but it actually matches the colour of the paper in real life! I printed the sentiment on the pc.

Good luck with the challenge! For more details pop over to the challenge blog. Closing date is Sunday 8 April at 12noon GMT.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 15

It's time for another Fetch A Sketch challenge and I am playing hostess this fortnight and here is the sketch I whipped up:

We also have a fab sponsor - Crafty Sentiments Designs who are generously offering 4 digis to the winner! To have a look at their digi stamps, click on the banner below:
And here is my take on the sketch. Since tidying up my rather huge box of ribbons into co-ordinated colours I found ribbons I forgot I had and this one is from Fantastic Ribbons. The image is from Crafty Sentiments, our sponsor and she has been coloured with Promarkers.

The papers are all from Funky Hand - Craft The Year Away and I've made the scalloped edge by using a heart punch and layering them up so that only the top bits are showing. The sentiment is from Our Betty stamp set. I am trying desperately to use up the scraps in my big shoe box as it is seriously overflowing - so I've delved into the box for the papers on this card!

Good luck with the challenge and for more details click here.

Birthday Sundaes: Birthday Card
Crafters Circle: Make It Colourful
Crafty Ann's: Let's Think Hot (hot colours)

Snowcouple

I've had a few special orders for Christmas cards this year and this is one of them. I've used an image from Crafty Sentiments and coloured it with Promarkers and a little glitter glue.


I've added the sentiment before printing it off and all the papers are from Funky Hand - Twelve Crafters Crafting cd plus I've layered two snowflakes using a Sizzix die (plus more glitter glue!)

Edges have been inked and I've dotted a fine line using a blue gel pen around the edge of the image and the shaped papers. Embroidery thread is from my stash.

Crafty Purple Frog: For Someone Special

Tin of String

I've finally got round to using one of the tins of string I bought from the Poundshop at the end of last summer - its a really good sturdy tin with a lid that can be removed, plus a ball of green garden twine, and all for £1!!

I'm still in the process of having A Big Tidy Up as I currently use virtually all of the dining room table and its a bit messy, although organised, but I want it to be more tidy. So I decided to make a pen pot.

I've used papers from Funky Hand - Rainbow Polkadots download which I've printed on both sides so I could add flowers to the covered tin. I've added a strip of red raffia around the middle of the pot for extra detail and then added some flowers.

The flowers have been cut with a Sizzix die (the largest two shapes) and then a Cuttlebug die for the smallest then Card Candy has been added to the centres. I've slightly curled the edges of the flowers so that they stand proud of the tin.

I've inked the edges with black and doodled a line around the main papers on the tin. And that is it!

I don't normally do this, as I tend to be a one project one challenge kinda gal, but just out of interest to how many comments I'd get on this post (scientific experiment!) I am entering this pen tidy into the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz - No Cards Allowed

Crafty Sentiments - Flowers

Creative Craft - Recycled

Cupcake Craft Room - Red, White and Blue

Cute and Girly - Anything Goes

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes with option of something round

That is a record number of challenges in one for me! And funny how all but one are challenges that begin with a C!!

• Tin: Poundshop
• Dies: Sizzix and Cuttlebug

Just Like Mummy!

I found myself a new challenge site whilst blog hopping! It is Crafty Sentiments, and the current challenge is:

Bookmarks

Jacob has rifled through my box of die cuts and also printed digi images to see what he can use himself as he's quite into making cards and generally making things. I'd been asked ages ago to make some Hello Kitty bookmarks and I had some die cuts so thought I'd get my act together and enter my bookmark for the challenge.
Paper is from my stash and I've shaped the edges and doodled a pink line around. Added some thin satin white ribbon through the eyelets and tied the top and bottom into a bow and added a silver Hello Kitty charm. Jacob also decided that he wanted to make some bookmarks and here they are! He's used two Dustin Pike images and coloured them with pencil crayons then I've also laminated them for him and cut them out.

I think he's done a pretty good job - not bad for a tired 5 year old!! He was really pleased with them when I showed him that I'd laminated them when he went to bed last night.
