Jingle all the Way

wow the weeks are flying by and its challenge time again already at Creative inspirations.

 

this week we have an optional sketch for you and our sponsor is

 

I hope you will come and join us again. we are seeing some lovely creations every week.

 

Here is my card...

 

I love this digi, he's so cute.

 

I had a little trouble colouring him, my E34 is almost dead! I've ordered a refill from Artifolk and to get free postage I had to add a few Sketch markers. oops!

a can never have too many copics tho...right?

 

I mad the baubles using various punches and spellbinders circles.

the punches were a corner MS punch with a loopy design so that was perfect to snip at and a Bunch punch Pear was snipped to make the top of the bauble.

 

so Christmas is coming and that means dark evening and maybe even dark days so I really do need to get to work on a light box to improve my photography skills, its been on my 'to-do' list for far too long!

 

hopefully my next photo will look amazing!

LOL

 

over you now crafters....

lets see what you make this week. we love visiting your blogs and seeing your creations so please join us.

Its not surprising though, check out the entries here

 

there are some stunning cards and very talented ladies.

 

Good luck to all the new ladies.

 

so why am I shouting about being a loser I hear you say, well....

 

TeddyBo gave all us losers a gift and he is adorable!

 

I've made two cards with him already....

 

 

here is my first card. its much more sparkly than it looks.

 

I added stickles and gems.

 

And this is my second card.

 

It's a wobbly head!

its was soooo much to make.

 

 

He is so cute isn't he.

 

so I must say I'm really happy to be a loser!

 

Thank You TeddyBo.

Hello teddy and Lace

hello!

 

its time for another challenge at Creative Inspirations and our theme is to simply ad some lace.

 

our sponsor this week is

 

 

Live & Love Crafts and they have offered a generous voucher for this weeks winner

 

that's gotta tempt you, right?

 

Here is my card.....

 

 

I love this colour combo. Red with Kraft card, it just works!

I'll be using this combo for my Christmas cards this year.

 

But today I decide to make this cute little card with a simple Hello die cut sentiment from Paper Smooches.

 

the corner of my card is removable and slides over the corner of my book to mark the page I'm on.

 

this style card would make lovely gifts.

 

I'll do a tutorial for the corner bookmark if there is any interest.

 

Over to you again now, please grab your lace and show us what you make over at Creative inspirations.

good luck and don't forgot that £10 voucher!

Let It Snow

 

Hello,

 

I've been crafting and singing Christmas songs this week. I did decide it was still too early for me to put the Christmas tree up though LOL

 

It's lovely having all my glitter and sparkly ribbons out and I've treated myself to a new snokeflake die which I love.

 

I've used it on this weeks card for Creative Inspirations. The theme is spots and dots.

 

our sponsor is time4tea

 

 

I've used a gorgeous image which you can find here she is called Catching Snowflakes.

 

 

I used my new cheery Lynn snowflakes. you will be seeing these a lot more. the large snowflakes are from Marianne and I used a couple of spellbinders dies.

 

I also had fun playing with various Stampendous Frantage embossing powders. This is where my spots and dots come into it, I dotted the frantage everywhere! OMG I just love this stuff!

 

I really hope you will come and join in the challenge at Creative Inspirations this week. we love to see all your creations.

 

thank you for stopping by and I would love it if you could leave me a comment.

Christmas Countdown

hi All,

 

I've got my first Christmas card of 2014 to show you today.

we only have 15 weeks to go.

where has this year gone?

 

 

this is my DT card for Creative inspirations Challenge Blog

 



 

this gorgeous image is from our proud sponsor

Robyn's Fetish Digital designs

 

 

I hope you will pop over to Robyn's Fetish site and check out her digi's

 

You could be in with a chance of winning three of her images in our challenge this week and the theme couldn't be easier...

Anything goes, with the option of a sketch which you can fine on the CI blog

 

I chose not to use the sketch this week as I wanted to keep my card very plain and simple to show off the spray of poinsettia flowers

I added a few sparkly gems and coloured it with copics.

 

please check out my fellow DT member's blogs for more inspiration, they are such a talented team.

If you do visit them please take a moment to leave them some love. I just know they will appreciate it and they sure do deserve it.

 

good luck with the challenge, I look forward to seeing all the entries.

Back to School

Listen carefully......

 

can you hear it?......

 

Yep, that's the sound of mum's all across the country cheering!

 

Its Back to School time again!!!

 

My boys are all grown up now (hmm although I do wonder sometimes)

but when they were both at school I loved the holidays, I enjoyed having the boys at home for 6 weeks. we had lots of adventures and many trips to Florida. oh the time has gone by so fast!

 

anyway, back to crafting and back to school, that's our theme this week at creative inspirations so I decided I would make a notebook instead of a card this time...

 

 

I've kept it plain and simple using Kraft notepad, even the pages are kraft paper, I love it!

 

I used a cute cc designs stamp and heat embossed the outline in black then colour it with prisma pencils. I'm still tempted to cover him with glossy accents, what do you think?

 

I used memory box alphabet to cut the letters in matching colours.

 

then the postman turned up with happy post from Nicola Parr and she had sent me some ribbons, they just happened to be the perfect colour match, what about that for timing. She had no idea what I was working on. Amazing, thank you Nic, you are a star!

 

so now its over to you again, I love seeing all the entries for our challenge so I hope you will come and join in again this week.
