Good morning, it is time for a new challenge over at Moving Along With The Times and this week Hazel has set us the challenge of 'In Stitches'. That means use stitching somewhere on what you create either real, faux or as I did on your ribbon.

I was lucky enough to win two of Jayne Nestorenko's new Christmas line stamps a couple of weeks ago and this is the first chance I have had to have a play with them. Isn't this a really pretty image? I stamped it four times, then cut and layered it with some foam dots as you can see in the second photo.

My Time To Craft 'Halloween' Challenge

Good afternoon all, sorry this post should of been up this morning but Mr Blogger was playing nicely and as I was out with My Time To Craft boss Shell I don't think I will be in too much trouble lol.

EDITED:- We met up in Lincoln so we could go and see the cathedral which really is spectacular but we must have chose the coldest day of the year to go. So after a quick bite to eat at the sausage fest which was also on in Lincoln Castle it was back to my house for tea to warm us all up. It was great to catch up with Shell again and finally meet her hubby Nige but I said to Shell beforehand it could be a mistake getting our hubbies together and yes I was right, those men are a pair alike knew just how to wind us girls up!! But hey they made us laugh and it was a lovely day plus they paid so not all bad.

This week at My Time To Craft we were challenged to make something for 'Halloween' and I decided to make one of three treat holders for my step grandchildren. This will be for Sophie who will be 6 next week, she loves all things Halloween and I thought she could keep her bits and pieces in this pumpkin basket after she has eaten the treats. I cut this out on my Cameo using a 12" mat and cut it as big as would fit on the sheet. You can also use this with a tea light candle inside.

Supplies:-

Card stock - American Crafts

Brads - Papermania

Pumpkin File - Silhouette Studio '3d Jack-O-Lantern'

Challenges I would like to enter this into:-

Moving Along With The Times 'Alice Inspired' Challenge

Good morning all, I hope the weather is being kind to you where ever you are.

Today see's the start of a new challenge over at Moving Along With The Times and this week Hazel set us the challenge of 'Alice Inspired' so that means anything to do with Alice In Wonderland, easy eh? Well I am sure it will be for some of you but I really struggled with it. This week we are sponsored by Digi My World who gave us some great images to play with.

I decided I wanted to go with the image of the White Rabbit and use it as a belated birthday card but I couldn't get it to come together. I know I have some paper somewhere with clocks on but can I find it, oh course I can't. So I had the idea to make my own, I used the pocket watch image and put several of them on the page and made a collage of them in all different directions. I then printed this onto a piece of backing paper that went with my other papers I am using. Once I had this the rest of the card all went together really quickly, in fact too quickly as I was going to ink the edges but stuck too bits of paper down before I remembered!!
