All Thing's New

This fortnight's Di's Digi Challenge is (as the title suggests) "All Things New".  I chose Di's gorgeous "Cute Slumber" & coloured it with ProMarkers.  As you can see I've been playing with my new trimmer as all the edges are cut with the Victorian blade.  The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat & the paper (not digi!) is from a stack called "Up, Up & Away" from First Edition.  I finished the card with gems, flowers, ribbon & Glamour Dust.  Our fabulous sponsor this time is Joanna Sheen & there is the chance to win a $10 voucher to spend on some (more) crafty goodies :D

The challenges:

Dutch Dare - My Favorite Things (Di's Images, Glitter, Gems)

Crafts & Me - Anything Goes

Bearly Mine - Anything Goes

Simon Says - Anything Goes

Aud Sentiments - Anything Goes
For Fun - New (thanks for the heads up Helen)

Have a great weekend everyone :D

Old Year/New Year...

The Jellypark Friends new challenge that starts today is "Old Year/New Year" - to use your old stash together with the any new goodies you may have got for Christmas (or have just recently acquired :D) .  I used 2 of today's new Jellypark digital image releases "Cute Wedding Couple" & "Wedding Cake" & coloured them with ProMarkers, I used my new trimmer to cut the mats, the papers I've had ages (Papermania I think).  I finished off with a punched heart, gems, Glamour Dust & 2 flowers.  The Greeting is from Pink Petticoat.  I decorated the inside to match, I do think it looks nice to have a matching inside but more often than not I don't have enough time.  I hope you will check out the other DT members gorgeous creations & Claire's fabulous images too :D

It's Christmas at Di's Digi Challenge

I am slightly late with my DT card this week, but have amazed myself that I'm not later & the fact that I got it done at all with all the stuff I've got still to do :) (I LOVE this time of the year & being busy - I just wish there were more hours in the day... or even better I didn't have to go to work lol).   This week Di's Digi challenge is "Christmas", perfect for those last minute Christmas cards.  The image I used is called "Penguin Love" & I coloured it with ProMarkers adding rainbow glitter & Glamour Dust, the papers were free with a mag & I finished off with a flower, brad, charm, greeting & gems.  Our fabulous sponsor this time is: There She Goes Clear Rubber Stamps.  I hope you can find time to join us :)

Anything But a Card...

I know you will find this hard to believe but this creation has nothing to do with Christmas! (apart from the fact that it could be a Christmas pressie that is).  The challenge at Jellypark Friends this week is "ABC- Anything But a Card".  I have been so short of time lately that I had to try & make something that didn't take too long so I used my Ultimate Pro to make a box using Basic Grey card stock & the "Clothes, Shoes, Handbag Shop" digital stamp, which is one of today's new releases.  I paper pieced the shop & dress & coloured the rest with ProMarkers.  The finishing touches were Glamour Dust (almost obligatory lol), a circle flower, ribbon & brad.  The box is filled with some childrens jewellery that I made.  The DT have absolutely excelled themselves for this challenge so I hope you will check their designs out & that you can find time to join us (& perhaps make some last minute Christmas gifts).

Delightful - Anything Goes

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Just in case you didn't notice we are well into the festive season lol.  So this time the challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend is just that - "Christmas".  This is great for me as I still have quite a few cards to make (the ones for special family & friends).  I kept this card quite clean & simple (mainly cos I didn't have much time).  The papers & flowers were from a Craftwork Cards Christmas goody bag & the snowman is a digital image from DigiStamp Boutique.  I finished the card off with some glitter & pearls.  Our fabulous sponsor this time is Simon Says Stamp & have the chance to win a $20 to spend in their online store - no excuses not to join us ;)

Thanks for looking & if you have time to fit in the challenge - good luck :)

Out Of My Comfort Zone...

This week Di's Digi Challenge is "All White (except the image)" & I must admit I really struggled with this challenge as I love pretty papers & colour. Luckily the finished card is better than I expected (though the other DT creations are absolutely stunning so you really should check them out if you have the time).  My cute image is called "Cuddle Christmas" & I coloured  it with ProMarkers & added some Glamour Dust & Rainbow Stripe glitter.  I used lots of die cuts trying to add interest lol & finished of with 2 gems, some pearls & a bauble greeting.  I hope you can join us especially as we our sponsored by the fabulous Cheery Lynn so there is the chance to win a $15 voucher :)

Fa La La Felt!

The Jellypark Friends challenge this time is "Fa La La Felt" so we would like to see felt somewhere on your project.  I'm still plodding on with my Christmas cards lol but now it's December I'm starting to feel Christmasy so that makes it slightly easier (I wish I could make them a bit quicker though, I spend ages moving bits & pieces around the card lol).  I used one of this week's fabulous new releases on my card aptly called "Couple Kissing Under The Mistletoe". I used chalks again for a softer feel, the papers are digi & I finished off with a handmade flower, including a felt flower (added at the last minute cos I forgot what the challenge was this time - Doh!).  I finished off with a giant brad, some beads, greeting & lots of Glamour Dust.  Whether you're still making or your Christmas cards or they're all done & dusted I hope you will be able to join us & why not check out the other DT members for lots more inspiration :)

Everyone's Favourite... Anything Goes

This week's challenge at The Paper Shelter is "Anything Goes" (perhaps a chance to catch up on those Christmas cards if you're unorganised like me lol).  I love this cute Father Christmas image & as I've got so much on at the moment I opted for the coloured version for quickness :D (I love the fact that you get black & white outline or already coloured images from TPS).  The papers are digi & distressed & I finished the card off with ribbons, beads, doily, flower, sentiment & lots of gold Glamour Dust.

Not a great photo but you get the idea :)

Cute Christmas Angel

I hope you're all having a great week, I've just about recovered from busy weekend at the Hobby Crafts show at the NEC, it was absolutely fab & I managed to get some crafty goodies & do some Make & Takes too.

Today Jellypark is sponsoring the Crimbo Crackers challenge which is "Sparkle" & who doesn't love a bit of sparkle (well maybe my hubby when it is covering most of the house including him! lol).  I used this gorgeous image by Claire at Jellypark called "Angel Girl Nativity".  I coloured her with ProMarkers, paper pieced her dress & added lots of glitter to her wings.  I finished off with a sequin border, tinsel halo, gem star, flower, button, bow, brad & greeting.

Ribbons & Bows at Di's

Another excuse to made a Christmas card as this week Di's Digi Challenge is "Ribbons & Bows".  I love this cute image called "Fairy Wand" which I coloured with ProMarkers & added some crystal & gold Glamour Dust.  The papers are digi & I finished off with a bauble greeting, some flowers (also covered in Glamour Dust) & of course some pink ribbon & a big bow.  There is so much scope with this challenge obviously not just Christmas but as some of you know I am really behind with my Christmas cards it's handy to get another one made :D  This week our wonderful sponsor is Crafts 4 You. 

Hopefully you can see this post as I'm scheduling it as I'm at the NEC Hobby Crafts show for the weekend so I can't check it lol (That's also why I've not entered it in any challenges).  Have a fabulous weekend whatever you're doing & if you're at the NEC I hope you have fun & get lots of crafty goodies!

Stampin' for the Weekend Sketch

The challenge this time at SFTW is a sketch, I love sketches & find they are always a good starting point for a card :)  The image is from Heather Ellis & coloured with ProMarkers, with some Polar White Flower soft & pearls added. I used a Christmas tree embossing folder fro the back ground & finished off with some gems, Glamour Dust, die cut flower & swirl & a greeting.  Yes, hooray another Christmas card!  I hope you'll find time to join us & as a little incentive we are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp & you can win a $20 voucher.

Thanks for looking :D
