Christmas Card Club "Angels"

Good morning all.

A very quick visit in between wedding makes...only 10 days to go and I still need to make 40 favour boxes!!

It's time for our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club, it was Maureen's turn to choose the theme this time and she's asked us for "Angels". 

A very quick, simple card....stamp from La Blanche inked with brown Memento and stamped onto Kraft card. Sentiment was a magazine freebie.

Insert all done and very flat for posting.

Crafting for all Seasons #80 "Whatever the Weather"

Good morning all.

Hopefully blogger is being good and has published this scheduled post!! I (hopefully) spent last night reliving my youth with my sisters at a Bay City Roller's concert in Newcastle!!

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Whatever the Weather". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. Our sponsor this time is Inky Impressions who gave the DT images to work with.

Unfortunately life and wedding preparations are getting in the way of general crafting at the moment so I haven't had time to make anything for this challenge. I am going to step back a little from the Design Team at CFAS and blogging in general for the rest of the summer to concentrate on the general admin of the challenge and have some time out...hopefully after a much needed break I'll be raring to go again come autumn!!

Hugs to anyone who needs them and I hope to call round and see you all in the near future.

Christmas Card Club - "Penguins"

Good afternoon everyone!

I'm running late today....again! Our next challenge over at the Christmas Card Club is due today and this time it was my turn to choose  the theme and I chose "Penguins" since they're my favourite.

Image is a very old Kanban die cut, backing paper was a blog candy win, dies are both from Memory Box, gem, tag and cord are from my stash.

Insert completed too!

Crafting for all Seasons #79 "Don't be Square"

Good morning all.

Sorry I haven't been around, real life is getting in the way of blogging and crafting at the moment.

Hubby and I took an impromptu weekend over to the Lake District at the end of May/beg of June which was lovely, the weather was very kind to us too.  Hence the plethora of blog posts on the 31st...I'd forgotten I had them all sitting waiting to be finished and slotted between my DT stuff, so apologies for bombarding you all!!

Today it's time for our next challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Don't be Square". We're  looking forward to seeing all your makes. Our sponsor this time Stitchy Bears Digi Outlet who gave the DT images to work with.

I've chosen to use an image of my own this time...."Airborne" from KennyKdigistamps. I've printed onto kraft card and coloured with promarkers, before die cutting with a round Spellbinder die and making a rocker card. Cogs and wheels embossing folder is from Couture Creations; sentiment from LOTV; sentiment die from Spellbinder; stars die from Joanna Sheen; cogs and wheels stamp is a magazine freebie.

Both my sons have birthdays this week so this is for my eldest....not that he'd dream of wearing a helmet when skateboarding!!

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the girls inspiration, you won't be disappointed.
