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

Designer Papers - Just Us #42032 & Spring Paper #41180 by Digital Pink Ink

Die Cuts - 6 Banner Set #20957 by Lori Whitlock

Bakers Twine - My Craft Spot

Buttons - Echo Park 'Walk In The Park'

That is all for today, please hop over to the challenge blog HERE to see all the other gorgeous creations.

My Time To Craft 'Charming' Challenge

Good morning all, what lovely weather we have had this week I just wonder how long it will last. Last Sunday it was so nice to be able to get out in the garden for some fresh air although going out and buying the grandchildren a trampoline was not on the agenda but hey ho they might as well have one while we have some nice weather. However after a lovely weekend my dear grandson decided to give me his lurgy lol. By Sunday evening I had the sorest throat I have ever had, an awful earache, along with a cough and cold and there is no sign of it leaving me as yet, yuck what a gift to give lol.

Anyhow onto the matter in hand it is time for a new challenge at My Time To Craft and this week it is 'Charming', you need to use a charm somewhere on your creation. I went with a shaped card this week and even added some paper piecing to my image so that her apron matched my card lol. I inked all the edges of my pieces including my image as I just felt it needed something.
