Fun in the Woods


Afternoon Everyone, 

Hope you are all well? Wasn't it lovely at the weekend, we had sun most the weekend makes a nice change from all that rain we have been having. 

Today I have for you a scrapbook page that I created for my Center Parcs scrapbook. It is a reasonably simple page with lots of mats and layers and cuts using my cricut machine. The page is a standard 8x8

The animals behind the tree are from the Cricut cartridge "Campin Critters" 

The Letters are from the cricut machine as well - But I can't remember what cartridge they were cut from. 

Here is the Layout



 The Challenges 

I am putting this forward for the following challenges:-

ABC Challenge - O for Open
Hobby House Challenge- Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes- Challenge #10


That is it for me for now, I will be back soon with another creations :-)

Time After Time

Good Morning Everyone,

Wow this post is up early, good old Mr Scheduler on Mr Blogger.

Today is an exciting day for me, today is my first challenge over at Patties Creations Design Challenge Blog.
as part of her Design Team, Pattie did a Design Team Call a few weeks ago and I was extremely lucky and am extremely proud that I was one of the three selected. 

Pattie and her team have certainly giving me a warm welcome. 

The challenge this week is Fathers Day

I selected one of Patties images and decided to use clock to create the card that I have made, I picked the clock to give me even more of a challenge as I have never created a card with a clock on before.

I have used a combination of light brown/tan and pale blue not a combination I would normally use but thought it actually worked well together. I used a Sue Wilson embossing folder to create the embossing section, I coloured my image in using promarkers and a flex marker.

Pattie Gomez Digital Image - Check out her shop here
Spellbinders Grand Label 23 - Smallest one in set
Sue Wilson A4 Embossing Folder - Interlocking Circles
Cream/Brown/Tan Card - Not sure what you would call it

Beary Christmas


Evening Everyone, 

Wow where has today gone? the time seems to have flown today. I managed to get in the craft room for half hour and made the following card. It is another Christmas card and this card has been made for a lady I know who loves forever friends decoupage, but hates fussy cards - this was a challenge on it's own. I love embellishments on my card and I hope this will suit her needs.


To make this card I have used a 6x6 inch card, matter it with a red layer which has been created using Brick Red distress ink, matted on top is another white square and in the centre of that I have used the a2 Curved borders from Spellbinders .. I love these dies... This cut has been coloured using the distress ink as well. I have used a white embossing powder and stamped and embossed some snowflakes. 
The image is a forever friends decoupage that I have had in my stash for a while. To finish the card I have stamped a Christmas sentiment, place three snowflakes and six red gems. 

 

 The Card



The Challenge

I am putting this card forward for the following challenges.

Anything With Wings

Morning Everyone, 

Today is our turn for the pinkies over at Eclectic Ellapu this is my second week with my new Design Team and this weeks theme is Anything With Wings.

I have to say for some reason I had zero inspiration for this challenge.

So instead of making a card, I made a tag. Which is not like me I normally don't venture away from cards or scrapbooks so for me this was a challenge in its self. 

I create the tag by cutting three tags off in half inch increments of my Cricut Machine. 

The largest tag I left white. The middle tag I embossed and coloured with a promarker to match the colour I wanted. The smallest size tag I used my distress inks and a Momento Inkpad to give it the colour, to finish this layer of I used clear and white embossing powder over swirls that I stamped, to give it more detail. 

The butterflies that I have used have also been cut from the Cricut machine, the larges at 1 and half inch and the smallest at 1 inch. 

Well here is the tag.


The Ingredients
3 tag sizes 
Distress Ink - Milled Lavender and Victorian Velvet 
Momento Ink - Sweet Plum
Butterflies Die
Ribbon
Embossing Folder
Promarker Pen
Glitter Glue
Swirl Stamp
White and Clear Embossing Powder

The Challenges
The challenges I am putting my tag forward for are:-
Five Simple Things - Anything Goes
Stampin With The Dragon - Tags
Totally Papercrafts Friday Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafty Ribbons Challenge - Anything Goes
