Sparkles Monthly 'Hearts' Challenge

EDIT:- This was a scheduled post which didn't happen, sorry.

Good morning ladies. I hope everyone is experiencing the lovely weather we are finally having, it is so nice to be able to get out in the garden even if it is only to tell my hubby what he can and cannot cut down lol. The garden would be bald if left to his own devices!!

Well it's the 15th of the month and that means it is time for another great challenge at Sparkle's Monthly. This month we are set the challenge of 'Hearts' so we need to see hearts somewhere on your creations. We are sponsored by the fabulous Di's Digi's who are offering a prize of $10 to one lucky winner.

I went with a card that I thought could be used for an anniversary or even a just because card really. I loved this hearts background as soon as I saw it in the Silhouette Store and have been awaiting an occasion to cut it and here it is. Super easy and quick to make.

My Time To Craft 'Up In The Sky' Challenge

Good morning ladies, it's Saturday again where are the weeks going I can't keep up lol. The weather is at least a little better and the weekend is supposed to be nice so fingers crossed it is especially for those of you that work all week.

Anyhow, it's time for a new challenge at My Time To Craft and this week we are challenged to 'In The Sky' so anything related to items in the sky.

I made this card with a little boy in mind so hope he will like it. I cut all my die cuts on my Silhouette Cameo and added foam tape to the astronaut and the top part of the rocket to help raise them and give them some dimension. I stamped the sentiment and then coloured it in with a Promarker.

Supplies:-

Card Stock - Bazzill

Die Cuts - Silhouette Stars, Planet And Astronaut by Sarah Bailey & Rocket by Totally Jamie

Sentiment - Paper Pretties 'Birthday Sentiments Clear'

Sentiment Coloured With - Promarker

Short and sweet from me today. Have a good weekend all.

Crafty Calendar Challenge 'Sunshine or Showers' Challenge

Good evening all. 

I am here finally with my card for the new challenge at Crafty Calendar Challenge where this month we are challenged to 'Sunshine or Showers' and we have a fabulous sponsor in Milk Coffee who gave us all images to play with as well as a prize for one of you.

For my card I used my Silhouette Cameo again to cut another of the shaped cards by Lori Whitlock, this one is called a side step card. I cut some patterned paper and a bunch of waves to add to the steps. My image is called 'Tiffany Swimming In The Beach Wearing Bikini' and can be found HERE.

My Time To Craft 'Clean & Simple' Challenge

Good morning everyone, well the weather is certainly better here so I hope it is better where you are. Another week has past so quickly, it will be Christmas before we know it lol.

This week at My Time To Craft we have set the challenge as 'Clean & Simple', so that means minimum amount of embellishments and lots of white space on the card. 

I stamped my image of Sweet 'n' Sassy by Elisabeth Bell straight onto my card blank which I had already cut out the border onto using my Spellbinder Edgeabilities dies. I coloured my image with Promarkers & Flexmarkers but unfortunately shading was a little difficult on this card. Then added a couple of sentiments and a strip of gems. That's it, job done although I still wanted to add more but I don't consider myself a crafter who uses lots and lots of embellishments. I think it is because there is no backing paper.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Boyes

Image - Sugar Nellie 'Sweet 'n' Sassy'

Medium - Promarkers & Flexmarkers

Sentiments - Friend 'L.O.T.V Stamp F Words For Tags' & May 'Paper Pretties Birthday Sentiments'

Moving Along With The Times 'Kraft' Challenge

Good morning all, it feels like forever since I posted anything on here. I have had my family to stay for over a week and everything has kind of gone out the window.

This week at Moving Along With The Times Janice set us the challenge to use 'Kraft' on our projects. Our sponsor this week is Saturated Canary and Krista the owner gave each of us a fabulous image to use, thank you.

For my card I made a Centre Panel Step Card by Lori Whitlock cut on my cameo, this is the first time I have made one of these shaped cards and I really liked it. The image I used is called 'Whispy' and can be found here. I added stickles to her wings for a little sparkle. I left the card quite plan and haven't added a sentiment as I didn't make it for anyone in particular. I will add one when needed. I love this colour combo together, what do you think of it?

Here is the front view.
