Cute and Cuddly Christmas (Animals)

Time already for My Time To Craft the challenge this week is Cute and Cuddly Christmas with Animals.

I know a Teddy bear isn't exactly politically correct, it not being an animal but who is going to slap my wrists for this faux par? I simply couldn't resist the cuteness of the image along with the papers from La Pashe The Best of 2012 CD. I added some embossed mirri card and red jewels to embellish. The lower sentiment is from LOTV. Have fun with the challenge, looking forward to visiting your blogs. 

V is for Vellum

Here we are at Alphabet Challenge up to letter V. Avril has chosen Vellum. The piece of Vellum I have used is from a pack I bought forever ago from QVC when they used to do craft well. I only have pieces left now, but I know I will use them one day. I also stamped three baubles from a Paperartsy stamp set, embossed with silver embossing powder. Strung them on silver thread. I made the added  bows. The vellum is positioned on the card with two punch holes at the side tied through with the ribbon and under the baubles with 3D foam which doesn't show. Have fun playing with your Vellum, there are so many ways it can be used. Looking forward to popping onto your blogs. 

CAS at Fan-Tastic Challenges

At Fan-Tastic  Tuesday Challenges where it is Hip to be Square - we are going Clean and Simple. I have used a Dreamees stamp of a Christmas Tree. I was so pleased to see the mother and daughter duo on Create and Craft last week and have just read they will be on again during the first week in December. I stamped onto green card with Versamark and heat embossed with gold powder. Added a few red gems to decorate. I am sorry about the lack of light, this was taken early one morning but the light is not good at this time of the year. I look forward to seeing your CAS - Clean and Simple works of art- remember they must be Square.

Home Sweet Home

This week, at CD Sunday Challenges Beryl's challenge is Home Sweet Home. As our regulars know we are a challenge group which require you to use something from a CD or Craft DVD. We mostly concentrate on cards, but, we crafters also know nowadays there are many extras on CD's which are helping us to become 'paper-crafters' as well as card makers. I adore these small birdhouses which are on the Flights of Fancy CD from Katy Sue. I have decided the next set I make, I will cut the doors so they will open and thread some ribbon through the pitch of the roof so they can be hung as well as being stood, then I could stuff them with sweets for added fun for my grandchildren, friends and family. Have fun with the challenge ladies (and any gent's) I look forward to seeing your Home Sweet Home projects. 

A New DT Post

I was so thrilled to be accepted onto the Design Team for My Time To Craft. I have followed and entered many of the challenges since I first joined in blogland, it has always been one of my most favourite challenge blogs, and now I am part of the team. Woweeeeeeee! thanks to Shell and the remainder of the team. For my first week there is a sketch to follow. I do like sketches for they make me look at designing in more ways than I would normally, taking me out of my comfort zone, therefore learning new ways and techniques. Which after all is what challenges are all about, isn't it. I literally flipped the sketch and used papers from fizzy Moon and LOTV. the stamp is an old favourite of mine - Santa from Inkadinkado. I look forward to visiting you guys over the next week. Have fun.

Fan-Tastic Challenges - Vintage

This week at Fan-Tastic Tuesday we are asking you to make a Vintage card - anything beyond our current years, I suppose.  My dictionary, only referred to wine, cars, adding  best and most typical, so not very helpful, let's just say anything old will be fine. I recently purchased Man about Town, from Kraftyhands Kreations. I have made a 5 and a 1/4 inch square gate fold card. I am hoping to add a picture of the card standing open tomorrow, it became too dark for me to manage for this post. I have added some buttons for added interest. I look forward to visiting you, I do look at every card you enter. Have fun, remember it is 

'Hip to be Square' our entries MUST be SQUARE.
