Crafting for all Seasons #92 "Anything Christmas but a Card"

Good morning all.

Going out this morning to view a property...forecast wet, windy and snow...think I'll need the winter woollies and welly boots!

Not yet heard any further news on my cousin but must try to remember to ring home today. Lora's guinea pig died of old age on Monday so there was a burial yesterday, thus ends the era of small furry pets - we've had rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs over the years. All my Christmas cards are written, a large batch went in the post yesterday, those with letters in will go today and I think the rest will all be hand delivered.

It's time for our final challenge of the year at CFAS and this time the theme is "Anything Christmas but a Card". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. As this is a month long challenge we have three sponsors this time Lacy Sunshine, Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet and Bugaboo who all gave the DT images to work with.

I've chosen to decorate a bag for this challenge.

I've used Scene it - Winter Friends from Bugaboo coloured with promarkers with added stickles then die cut with a Spellbinders rectangle. Papers from Bearly Mine Christmas Wishes which I've layered up digitally. Icicle and scene dies from Marianne Designs. Snowflake die from Memory Box. Sentiment from Stitchy Bear Stamps- Christmas Day Tiny Tickets. Ribbon and gems from my stash.

Crafting for all Seasons #87 "Too Cute to Spook"

Good morning all.

The weather was gorgeous yesterday although we had rain in the evening, can't believe it's October today! Hubby and I are off to Harrogate for the weekend to do a bit of sightseeing, we have been in the past to trade shows but never actually seen any of the sights. Of course I may just have to call into the Yorkshire Showground at some point to check out the crafts on offer....it would be rude not to wouldn't it!!

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Too Cute to Spook". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. Our sponsor this time Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet who gave the DT images to work with.

A treat bag for Halloween from me.

I've used Candy Bear from Stitchy Stamps which I've coloured with promarkers. Dies from Spellbinders. Bag is made from an A4 sheet of paper printed on both sides with contrasting papers from Bearly Mine. Ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.

Crafting for all Seasons #76 "Lots of Layers"

Good morning all.
Own up...who pinched April!! I can't believe it's May tomorrow, this month has just disappeared! Thanks to those who've asked about me, I'm fine just a bit tired and run down after the virus and also really busy so me time has been on the back burner for a few weeks.

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Lots of Layers". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet who gave the DT images and papers to work with.

I've used the pre-coloured version of Baby Gangstaz Joel from Reeces Scrap Pieces and printed it several times so I could decoupage it. The backing paper is from Crafter's Companion's Camden Town and was on the disc which came free with the winter magazine. Dies are all from Spellbinders. Sentiment is computer generated and happy birthday is from my stash.

My Godson will be 13 in the summer so this will be perfect for him.

Crafting for all Seasons #72 "Spring into Spring"

Good morning all.

Another gorgeous spring day yesterday...had thought we'd be going out to see my sister in law but plans changed so I got to spend some more time in the craft room! I'm really enjoying having my mojo back :) Today's card was made whilst my mojo was missing and I'm not that happy with it...I think I should have flipped either the image or the paper before printing then the card may have looked like it came together, if you know what I mean lol!!

Today it's time for our next at CFAS and this time the theme is "Spring into Spring". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet who gave the DT images and papers to work with.

I've used Butterfly Solace from Floppy Latte Designs and a backing paper from Painted Garden Pack 1 by Panda Bear Designs. The image has been coloured with promarkers and highlighted with Glamour Dust. Die from Spellbinders. Butterfly from my stash.
