My Time Craft 'Recipe' Challenge

Good morning all, isn't this weather rubbish someone bring the sunshine back please. David and I had a lovely few days last week with our daughter and granddaughter although I am not sure how we got roped into babysitting on 2 occasions in such a short time especially when our son in law was at work for most of it lol.

Ok so this week at My Time To Craft we have a recipe for you, no need to get your cooking utensils out unless you want to of course! We have a list of items you can use and you must use at least 3 of them. 

Here is the list:-

2 Images

Stripy Paper

3 or More Eyelets

Double Bow (Ribbon, Twine or Cord Etc)

Gate Fold Card

Easel Card

Blue

3 Flowers

3 Buttons

For my card which I made for my neighbour whose birthday was yesterday I used Stripy Paper, Blue & 3 Buttons. I was really stuck for what to make and had looked down the RAF route because he is in that and couldn't find anything that related to what he did, then came across a card on Pinterest and it gave me the inspiration for this. The heart buttons were part a of a joke we were having with him. My papers are all digital downloads from the Silhouette store and I love that the pattern shrinks to fit the shape you want to put it on, it is not so obvious on the chevron but the striped bit is more so if you look between the banner ends.

Supplies:-

6" Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's

Card Stock - Bazzill

My Time To Craft 'Up, Up & Away' Challenge

Oh my goodness this post should of gone live on Saturday and I have just noticed it still in draft, I scheduled it and all but obviously forgot to press publish! This is the first chance I have had to look as we had our grandson to stay for the weekend and boy did he wear us out. He is not 2 until August yet he really is behaving like a terrible 2 year old lol, throwing a hissy fit when you tell him no. He did make us laugh as he didn't want to sleep in his cot but would happily curl up in the dog's bed with them, my daughter in law said we should of left him there for the night as the dog's were happy to have him. 

OK so this week at My Time To Craft we are going 'Up, Up & Away' which means we would like to see anything that goes in the sky however if you are using a bird or butterfly it must be the main focal point on the card. 

For my card I went with a hot air balloon and found this great 3d style one which I love as it folds flat to go in an envelope. It is a 5" x 7" card and I have left the sentiment tag blank as not sure who this will be for as yet. This was super easy to make and I used my scraps from the Echo Park Walk In The Park collection.

My card is straight it is just the angle I must have took it at.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Lidl

Designer Papers - Echo Park 'Walk In The Park'

Brads - Papermania

Die Cut - Hot Air Balloon Card #46147 by Lori Whitlock

See you all soon and have a wonderful week.
