The New Crafty Sentiments Challenge 1 & More....

Hello all. Sorry I have not blogged in a few days but for some reason everytime I leave a comment it logs me out of blogger and then I cannot log in again for ages. Hopefully it is now resolved as I have been able to write this much so far lol.

Anyway back to the matter in hand, Crafty Sentiments have now started weekly challenges so that not only we the design team make cards but so that each and everyone of you can join in too. Each week there will be a sketch to follow with the added element of an 'extra' to include, however just for this week to get things started we are using just the sketch. A new sketch will be posted on the Crafty Sentiments blog every Sunday giving you a whole week to work on your creations.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Craft Superstore

Designer Papers - Dovecraft 'Winter Wonderland'

Cardstock - Paper Mill Shop

Stamp - Crafty Sentiments 'Frost'

Sentiment - 'Holiday Happiness' Set

Medium - Promarkers

Embossing - Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes'

Snowflake & Snow - Baker Ross

Brads - Dovecraft.

Now because my card could not be uploaded on Sunday, showing it today means it only leaves you three days to get your cards uploaded to the blog so you had best hurry.

My card fits into a couple of challenges too which are:-

Double Dutch - Frosty or Frozen

Susie & Vikki's Christmas Club - Snow

Ilona's Blog Shop With The Pink Elephant Challenge.

Today I have another birthday card using those different colours to my normal colours, but with this one I am really not sure I like these colours.

Of course I couldn't make a card without a sketch and that means I am entering this into a couple of challenges and these are:-

Ilona's Shop Blog Challenge - Sketch

The Pink Elephant - Birthdays

I decided to cut my image out for this one, not something I normally do but thought I would give it a go and I am now thinking I should of used a different colour for my mat. I have also not added a sentiment as yet because I have the 'Happy Birthday' on the ribbon and thought if I decide to use this card I would add the name where the sentiment should be.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Craft Superstore

Designer Papers - K&Co 'Tim Cooper Birthday'

Cardstock - Coredinations

Stamp - Magnolia 'Christmas Eve Tilda'
