The challenge for the next two weeks over at CWWCC is Just the two of us.  You must use 2 images on your project.

Our Sponsor this challenge is the wonderful

Crafty Ribbons

They are offering a surprise to the winner

I have used a scrap page I made in the CraftArtist program.  It is of my son, last year, standing next to 'Sir Haydn' one of the engines on the Tal-y-Llyn Railway.  We had an hours drive to get there from where we were staying but we couldn't pass up the chance to go on the engines that inspired the Thomas the Tank Engine stories.  It was these stories which started my son on his love of reading.  We have books, comic and Ertl engines, plates etc by the bucket load, we even have a signed copy of a story written by Rev Awdry's son Christopher.  

The papers are from Pascale's free paper challenge, the metal cogs are from Dezinaworld, June is now offering her collage sheets free, all you have to do is send her an e-mail stating which you want and she will send it to you.  There is also a button if you wish to make a donation.  

As you have to have 2 images on your project and the card I was originally going to post will have to wait until I've checked something with the provided of the image this page will have to do.

Hop over to the Crafting When We Can Challenges blog and leave your wonderful creation with the blue froggy.

Once again our sponsor allowed us to choose our own image and I chose EVA PEARL.  I thought she looked really good and I think I will get lots of use out of her.  I coloured here using Copics and Promarkers, popped her up on gold mirri card and punched the edges with a MS corner punch.  The background paper is from Free Paper Pad Challenges.  I made the sentiment myself using a new piece of equipment called Hot Foil Gun, it heats up and you can use it to write on things using different coloured foil.  It was my first time but I think it looks good and with practice I hope it will look really goo.  I also decided to make a bottle wrap to go around a bottle of wine to give to a Friend.

excuse the colours the printer ran out of ink and I didn't have time to do it again.

Now all you have to do is hop over to the Challenge and enter you project.  We accept any work as long as you follow the rules.  

Free Paper Pad Challenge #8 - Vintage Papers

Here is my entry to Pascale's Free Paper Pad Challenges.  This week Pascale has given us some lovely vintage papers to play with.  I have scrapped a picture of our Christmas Tree as usual I have used CA.  

We only put the tree up 12 days before Christmas so the children know they don't have long to wait before they get their presents, nowadays they usually know what the main present will be as it is something they usually ask for but we always try to sneak in a few stocking fillers.  They have had their stockings since they were babies and we always have to put something in them, we also have to fill the tiny Thomas the Tank Engine stocking (it's about  6" long we can usually fit in a couple of bags of chocolate money).

REMINDER

You still have time to hop over to Crafting When We Can Challenges, the theme is  Female Birthday
