My Time To Craft 'Fantasy' Challenge

Good morning and thank you for joining me, it is time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft and this week we are looking for all things relating to 'Fantasy'. This is where I sometimes struggle as I do prefer the more real life images but I love this little dragon and therefore it was an easy make.

The adorable image called 'Little Friends' is by Elisabeth Bell and was sold by Sweetpea Stamps but has now been retired. I used just one sheet of designer paper from the Papermania Happy Days stack and the corner flourish and sentiment were from the Silhouette store.

Elisabeth Bell Digi Guest DT Card

Good morning all and welcome to another post from me as my part of the Elisabeth Bell Digi Bells Guest Design Team.

I decided a couple of weeks ago whilst sorting out to try and use my never ending stash of items in my craft room before I buy any more. So with this in mind I made this card using another of the fabulous new release images from Elisabeth Bell called 'Valentine Angel Reading' along with some odd papers, just a few a of the massive amounts of flowers I have and a small piece of ribbon.

 "Flowers" I hear you shout, "you never use flowers" and that is exactly why I have so many, well that and the fact my mum purchased a massive selection of them from a car boot sale last year for just a couple of pounds but they are all unusual colours which really throws me. Anyhow I put a few on this card, still not sure if I like it or not but my stash is now 6 flowers lighter lol.

The colours for this card were determined by the flowers, I added glossy accents and then glamour dust to the wings after I first coloured it with a soft promarker.

My Time To Craft 'Hobbies' Challenge

Good morning all I hope you are all well and busily crafting away for Christmas. I certainly need to make some more Christmas cards but I also have 4 birthdays to come before that and still have those cards to make yet. 

This week at My Time To Craft we are looking for cards or projects that feature 'Hobbies', the only thing I could think of that I had an image for was fishing so I tried to look outside of the box and came up with 'Art' as it is something we as paper crafter's do in some form or another and so that is where I went with it. I used this image from Sugar Nellie which I have had for absolutely ages and I only used once I believe, that is really bad isn't it.

Summer Fun Birthday Card

Good afternoon everyone, how are you all today? The weather seems to have cheered up again so I hope you are all out enjoying it. As for me I am stuck indoors, doped up on pain medication and trying to ignore the agony that is going on in my back again.

I have a card to share with you today that I made at the weekend using another of my new Elisabeth Bell stamps, this one is called 'Big Splash'.

Moving Along With The Times 'One For The Guy's' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope you are all enjoying these few days of beautiful weather we are having at the moment. I have so enjoyed being able to get out in the garden, seeing and listening to all the bird's is so relaxing.

Well, it's Thursday again lol and that means it's time for another challenge at Moving Along With The Times and this week Carole has set us the challenge of 'One For The Guys'. So with Father's Day ahead of us and I am sure so many male birthday's it should be a fun challenge.

I have made a card that I thought my grandson could give to his dad for father's day unless someone comes along for a male birthday card in the meantime! I have used Sassy Cheryl's 'He Is Loved' image, which is so so cute  look at that adorable little face lol. The image and mat layer have been cut out with my Cameo. I have teamed it with Papermania's 'Happy Days' papers which I think are great for boy's cards. I added the die cut border and little tag which I also cut on my Cameo and then used the sketch pens in the machine to write the dad wording. I have attached the tag with some twine which I actually brought from Let's Create our sponsor this week.
