It's all 'sweet'!

This piece is for 2 challenges. Im using one of Ching-Chou Kuik's fabulous stamps, available from Sweet Pea stamps. Seeing as how she's a 'sweetie' means I can enter her in the Sweet Pea challenge blog. This weeks theme is 'gold. you might not be able to see it but I've edged the card with a gold ink pad. The brads for the flowers are also gold.

Speaking of flowers (!), this months raffle theme over at All Things Crafty is Flowers!

Anyhoo, hope you having a great Wednesday. Only one more workday - woo hoo!!!

:o)

RE-cycling!!

This weeks theme over at Lots to Do is vintage, that, coupled with Allsorts theme of altering/recycling means I came up with this!

Now, as usual, I forgot to take a bloomin pic of the item BEFORE I started on it, thats why this pic shows it looking a bit naked (ooer missus!) It started off life as a cardboard box of biscuits - you know, the kind those posh one's come in.

I covered it over with some paper, which links me nicely to the Oh Alice challenge which, this week is to include text in your project - eh voila!

Once covered with paper I then set about 'vintaging' it up (is that even a word?) As you can see I added ribbon to tidy it up. Everything else is from my 'I'll keep this cos it might come in handy for something later' box.

The flowers I made using a Paperartsy and just basically

fiddling about with them till they looked right!

Anyhow, thats my post. Thanks for sticking with it till the end LOL

have a fabulous Monday!!

:o)

Winter Wonderland!

This weeks theme over at Winter Wonderland is to use an aperture. Well, aperture cards are totally not my thang!! Thats why its taken me till today to do it as I ummed and aaghed over what to do. I've got loads of aperture cards that came in a bundle of ready scored cards but never used them. The fairy is one of Mo's images. The holly I've had for ages, it's pre-cut foam.

Not sure if I like it or not but hey ho!! have a great weekend guys and gals! :o)

Art Raffle

March's art raffle theme is dolls. She is made from a bamboo tile that I threaded some wire through. I used some small bells for her feet and some hand charms for hands (obvioulsy LOL) Her arms and legs are made from seed beeds and I covered the tile with some paper. Her skirt and head belong to a Miss Anya!

Oh Alice! challenge

First post in a while as I've been off!! Back to work tomorrow though.

Here is my card for this weeks Oh Alice challenge. This week you have to include a caterpillar or a butterfly. I made an easel card. The Alice was a free digi image.

Hope you had a fab Sunday. It's my birthday today - yay! Thanks to everyone who sent me cards and gifts. I will post some pics and thanks later in the week ((hugs))

Happy Tuesday!

This card combines 2 challenges (Im getting good at this LOL) The sketch is from Mojo Monday.

The stamp is from Sweet Pea designs for the March Challenge. you must use the colours pink, red and yellow and have a flower on it some where!

I think this covers it!!

The stamped image I sprayed with glimmer mist to give her a bit of an etherial (sp) feel - well she is a mermaid after all!

Have a fabulous middle of the week :o)

Winter Wonderland

Here is my card for this weeks WW challenge. This weeks it's a sketch challenge.

I am desperately (don't all crafter's say that LOL) in need of some new card blanks but, in the spirit of being thrifty I've decided to use up all my old, cast by the wayside card blanks. This was a 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 sized card. The stamped image I received as an RAK so I've no idea where its from.

Over and out! :o)
