No Designer Paper

Here we are another week on at My Time To Craft , our challenge this week is No Designer Paper. So get out those, embossing folders, or chalks, or inks, stamps may be useful here. Go create without those pretty or grungy papers, make your own. I started by digging out  my box of my own designed background papers.

Tots to Teens

You may have noticed at CD Sunday Challenges, Teams A and B have reunited to one, illness and personal time out has reduced the teams, therefore, to ensure we continue to provide a good challenge blog we are once again as one.  This week our challenge theme is Tots - to- Teens,  at first I was unable to think what to do, then suddenly after looking at my CDs, I had too many to choose from, but to try to show a wide variety I finally choose my 'Here Comes The Girls,  with Crafty Sentiments images, on a Creative Crafting World CD. This is such a good CD, with lots of embellishments and images to choose from, including digi stamps.

My ingredients were-

Images and papers from the CD - Here Come the Girls

White Card

Card Candi from Crafty Cardworks

Foam tape

I am looking forward to visiting you all to see your Tots - Teens, a great choice by Sue-b

Christmas Shopping

Over at Winter Wonderland they are looking for projects entitled ' Christmas Shopping' , a perfect opportunity to use my newest Christmas stamp, I tell myself every January, 'I don't NEED to  EVER buy another Christmas stamp!' Then along comes another stamp you simply MUST have, no matter how many you have, you NEED this one. From LOTV , during my visit to their 10th birthday celebration, Penguin Present somehow fell into my basket. Isn't he just adorable?

 ( Not as far as I planned, in my mission to make at least two Christmas cards a week, this being # 32)
