Moving Along With The Times '3 Elements Beginning With The Same Letter' Challenge

Good morning all on this freezing cold day in Lincolnshire.

My Time To Craft 'Domestic Pets' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope this post finds you all well.

Today at My Time To Craft we are challenging you to show us your 'Domestic Pets'.

My Time To Craft 'Vintage' Challenge

Good morning everyone. 

Today we have a new challenge for you at My Time To Craft and the challenge is 'Vintage', that means you can make anything you like as long as it has a vintage theme to it.

I don't think I have ever made a card with a vintage feel to it before but when I was looking for idea as for what to make I saw this great vintage silhouette on the silhouette cameo group I belong to on Facebook. I cut it as you probably can guess on my silhouette cameo and teamed it with this free background I found on google. I added some snow and a sentiment and that was it. You cannot see the snow very well but I didn't think it needed anything else. The silhouette is cut out on a card stock that has a sort of weave to it and makes it look even older.

Supplies:-

A5 Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Paper Mill Shop

Background - Google Images

Sentiment - Computer Added

Silhouette - Forever Memories For You

Snow - Baker Ross

Challenges I would like to enter this into:-

Good morning, it is time for a new challenge over at Moving Along With The Times and this week Hazel has set us the challenge of 'In Stitches'. That means use stitching somewhere on what you create either real, faux or as I did on your ribbon.

I was lucky enough to win two of Jayne Nestorenko's new Christmas line stamps a couple of weeks ago and this is the first chance I have had to have a play with them. Isn't this a really pretty image? I stamped it four times, then cut and layered it with some foam dots as you can see in the second photo.
