Crafting When We Can Challenges #15 - Things with Wings

Phew, thought someone had pinched the formatting for blogger luckily I realised I was in HTML view.  What a wally I am sometimes, my OH is always saying I'm hilarious as I do things like this quite alot.  

Anyhoo, onto Challenge 15, this time it's 'Things with Wings' if it's got wings we want to see it.  Butterflies, fairies, unicorns if you follow the simple rules you have a chance of winning the wonderful prize we have on offer.

This challenge our sponsor is the wonderful

The Digi Garden

I made my card using Bazzill card and Papermania colour block card cut on my CraftRobo.  I ran out of the base card brown and had to substitute with another card but IRL it looks fine.  I have made a hexagon card shape to go with the 'On a Wing and a Prayer 003' image, kindly given to us by our sponsor, he's so cute.  I coloured him with Promarkers and used DI on  the card around the image to match with the yellow paper.  I typed up the sentiment and cut it out and popped it and the image layer up on 3d foam.

Sorry for the rubbish photos they were took on my phone at about 2am last night.  When OH gets back and I can find the camera I will take some better pictures.

The inside

I don't usually finish the inside but it seemed appropriate with this card. 

Now you've seen my interpretation of the theme let me see yours, hop over to the challenge and leave your wonderful work with the blue froggy.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #5 - Halloween or anything but a card

Hi everyone, I've been really bad this week.  I got all my days mixed up and forgot to do my  DT for Crafting When We Can Challenges.  I always have good intentions of doing it early but something always seems to happen and I end up being a last minute loony.

This week we are asking for Halloween or Anything But A Card.  I have had this idea since I saw the image I was given.  I am hoping to hang it on my back door just in case we get any little callers.  (We haven't had any trick or treaters for about 3 yrs my kids think it's great as they get to share the sweets).

Our Sponsors this week is Poodle Doodle and you can get their stamps from

My image this Challenge is Elsie Halloween 002  I know Elsie is holding pumpkin and a bird but I wanted to hang something on the door for Halloween and so I coloured her green and stuck her on a cobweb with some bats and 'trick or treat', all cut on my Craftrobo.  At the mo it is stuck on my living room wall until I can think of a way to stick it to the door.  I think I can find one of those sucker thingys off an old car child shade.
