My Time To Craft 'Transport' Challenge

Good morning all, well it isn't exactly a good morning at all with the weather we have had since Sunday. Cold, wind and rain all day oh what joy lol.

Anyhow onto today, this week at My Time To Craft Helen set the challenge of 'Transport' and I racked my brain (yes I do have one in there somewhere lol) to think of something I could use then I remembered Santa has his very own style of transport! 

Have you noticed I seem to be making a lot of Christmas cards just lately, well you will have to excuse them because I agreed to hold a stall in my village for charity and so need lots of cards to sell. 

My Silhouette Cameo finally arrived on Friday and then I ordered the Grand Calibur which arrived on Saturday but apart from doing a couple of test cuts on the Cameo I haven't had a chance to play yet so can you guess what I will be doing tomorrow lol.

Moving Along With The Times 'Girly Girly BUT Prim & Proper' Challenge

Good morning everyone, it is lovely to have you here. 

I am all excited as my new Silhouette Cameo should arrive today, I am so looking forward to being able to die cut what I want again and have been learning through you tube how to print and cut images too.

Today see's the start of a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times and Judith set us the challenge of Girly Girly BUT Prim and Proper. I just don't have any really elegant images and was stuck until I spoke to Shell and we came up with this image, sorry Judith it was the best I could do. Shell is not feeling her best at the moment so I am sending her huge cyber hugs.

I used Whiif of Joy's Willow Dressing Up and coloured her all pink and girly but gave her a different hair colour to normal and am not sure if I like it or not lol. I used my new Prima Rochelle papers and I placed a this feather I found in my stash behind my image and added this big flower that has also been in my stash forever!

My Time To Craft 'All White Except Image' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope you are all feeling well today?
Shh don't tell my hubby but I have been naughty this week and brought myself a Silhouette Cameo die cutting machine, I have had my Cricut for over 4 years and it is no longer cutting right. I decided this time to opt for a non cartridge based machine and as all my svg's I have work on this machine it won! I will probably put my cartridges, jukebox, design studio, cri-kit pens etc on ebay so at least I will get back part of the cost. 

Anyhow this week at My Time To Craft Wedgie set us the challenge of 'All white except the image' and I have to say that is not always as easy as it sounds, all that white space is hard to fill. I used this lovely image from Just Inklined and printed it quite big as I thought it should be the focal point.

Moving Along With The Times 'Shrink Plastic' Challenge

Good morning all, I am so not enjoying this change of weather we are having.

Today see's a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times and Shell set us the challenge of 'Use Shrink Plastic' now this really was a challenge for me as you will see in the photo below and Shell's name was changed to something not so pleasant for setting this challenge lol, sorry Shell.

Here are my 5 attempts at making this charm for my card using the shrink plastic and then embossing it.

As you can see the first two never even got to the embossing part and then the next two got embossed but not very well until finally I managed to get one that resembled something of a charm!
