Crimbo Crackers Challenge 175 - Anything Goes

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

I've got quite a range of half pearls in my stash of varying sizes and thought it would be nice to use them on a card to create a bauble.  I didn't use a template, just laid them out before gluing to make sure it looked ok and then glued them using glossy accents to make sure they stuck!

The ribbon and bells are from my stash and I've used a Clearly Besotted die for the sentiment.  Good luck with the challenge!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 171 - Anything Goes

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers challenge and the theme for the fortnight is

Anything Goes

I found this piece of blue linen effect card in my stash and added lots of half pearls that I've had for ages plus the two rather large bells - bought these from ebay a few years ago and they were too big for what I needed at the time but perfect for this card!

I've added ribbon from my stash and a Clearly Besotted die cut from white card to finish.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 170 - Anything Goes

Time for a new Crimbo Crackers Challenge!  The theme for the fortnight is

Anything Goes

Just make sure that it is Christmas or Festive related!  I've made this Christmas Tree box using papers from Polkadoodles - Snowtime Like Christmas 6x6 stack and a free template I found on the internet.  I've added some large bells plus ribbon and furry ball things from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 48 - Jingle Bells

Apologies for the lateness of this post - I'm having issues with Blogger at the moment and my timing seems to be going awry when I schedule posts - either the times are 12 hours out or it forwards it to 2014!

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

Jingle Bells

I've made this fab wordbook with one of the new Christmas downloads from Funky Hand which will be released very soon!  But before it is released there will be a very special 50% off sale starting Saturday 31 August until Monday 2 September!  You will need the special code, so pop back to my blog on Saturday for the code!

Here is the wordbook:

I simply printed all the letters out, printed a paper on the reverse and then assembled!  I've added glitter glue around the edges of the letters and threaded little green bells through each letter with embroidery thread.  So if you're not that fussed about colouring or simply want a project you can make whilst watching the tv, then give the wordbooks a go!

I find it really relaxing to make the wordbooks and all the left over parts are great for other projects too - I hate to throw any bit away!

All the letters in the alphabet are included along with numbers so you can make any word you want (as long as its not too long!)

Good luck with the challenge - for more details and to see the rules, please pop over to Crimbo Crackers!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

As you Like It:  Favourite Shape (word books because they are easy and relaxing to make!)
Aud Sentiments:  Any Sentiment
The House That Stamps Built:  No Squares
Creative Craft:  Not A Square
