Crafting When We Can Challenges 104 - At the cinema

Over on Crafting When We Can Challenges we have the wonderful Amanda as our sponsor from

Faery Ink 

Winner prize:  3 images from store

Theme:  At the cinema

inspired by a film, song from film, quote

use your imagination

We were kindly given images to use and my image is Autumn Rose Boots and Bows.  As soon as I saw this image I thought of "Bridget Jones".  I really like the films and I think the Tonic sentiment "live the life you imagined" would be perfect for this image.  I used Tonic die Live the life you imagined and numbers from the tonic squeeze box and the Die'sire Happy Birthday die.  I coloured the shadow with my Spectrum Noir pens and also the image.  The backing paper was from Craftartist with a few more flowers added by me and embossed with a sizzix texturz plate.  The butterfly is a X-cut 3D die glittered by me. 

Now you've seen my creation hop over to the challenge and show us your wonderful creations.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #53 - Seasons (image, item, colours, sentiment)

Our wonderful sponsor for this Challenge is Krista from

Saturated Canary

We were able to choose our own images for this Challenge and I chose 

Sweet Oklahoma.  It seemed like an image I could use alot with the English weather we have.  Spring, Summer and Autumn birthdays jump into my mind. 

The Theme for Challenge 53 is

Seasons 

image, colours, item, sentiment

I used red, green and gold card stock from my stash and embossed the red and green card with a Sizzix Texturz plate, went around the edge with a Copic marker and matted it onto the gold card.  The image was coloured with Copics and Promarkers.  The raindrops were from a £shop but I can't remember which one.  They are body gems but work just as well on paper.  For my sentiments I used the dreaded peel offs, I don't know why some people turn their noses up at peel offs, I think they can serve a purpose the same as any craft item and it's where a lot of us start on our crafting adventure.

Hop over to the CWWCC blog and show us your Seasons themed creations.

My card was made from 12 x 12 card, from Craft Den, in various colours of blue.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #19 - Fashion and Pearls

Once again life caught up with me along with the nasty no get up and go bug so I didn't get my second card done for the last challenge.  I still have the idea in my head so it may appear one day.

Now onto Challenge 19, Fashion and Pearls.  Our fab Sponsor for this Challenge is

Digi Doodle Shop

We were given some wonderful images to use and I chose this one because I could see in my mind something I would like to try.  The backing paper is K & Company Best of 12x12 360 designer Papers.  I really like all these papers and they pop up on my cards alot.  The white circle has been embossed with a Sizzix Texturz plate.  I've had these plates for about 3 years and never used them, I always forget but I cut the circle by hand and thought embossing would hid the rubbish edges.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and the pearls were made with a Viva pearl pen (and I didn't put my fingers in it before it set, yeah me!).  Flowers are old Woodware ones and the ribbon was from Craft Den.  I used a MS border punch to make the lace on the edge of my card and highlighted it with a little Promarker, the senitment is from Craftwork Cards.

Hop over now to the Challenge blog and show us your Fashion and Pearls creations.  While your there leave us some love.

Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge #16

This is my entry for Fab's Big Christmas Card Challenge #16. I have used a gold base card and a hammered finished red card which I embossed with a Sizzix Texturz Plate#10, and used snowflakes and lettering which I cut on my Craft Robo months ago to use on a layout I never got round to.

It must be good my son just walked passed and said, "That's a good card Mum". I'm not blowing my own trumpet but for once I really like this card.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.
