 Good Morning All

I have been getting on with my Christmas cards this last week as I want to get them all made and ready for posting in November.

The sentiments are from JND die set.

AG with Nature Option for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge theme this week is chosen by Ellie and it is

Anything Goes with an option of Nature

I made two notebooks to give to family members and they both have a theme of nature running through them.

This is the first one and this is the front cover.

A lovely pastel shade paper and I added a strip of material for strength on the spine.

I added a double page with pockets and put a Journal card in each one.

This is the second one, very similar.

And both have a pocket on the inside of the back cover.

Very happy with those and I hope the girls I gave them to did too.

3 Different Ribbons for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

It is coming to the end of Crafty Ribbons Showcase week so here is my card to show 3 different ribbons.

I used one one of the Oxide backgrounds I have made and embossed using the CE butterfly folder.

I used the Strawberry Grosgrain ribbon available in many colours HERE

And the gorgeous lace HERE, again in many designs and colours.

I also added a tiny bit of organza on the sentiment tag.

Enjoy

Crochet Shrug

 Good Morning All

I dont have a card to show today as all the ones I made at the weekend are for DT work or my Sketch challenge so I bring to you instead a shrug I have Crocheted.

I follow a lady on You Tube, Hey Carrie and here is  her video for this shrug.

I did add the sleeves, making them longer.

I found some lovely soft wool, it is abit like cotton.

Anyway I have decided to give it to Lorien when I go over in November as she really likes it.

Any Creature for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and our Team Leader, Brenda is hosting this one.

Any Animal or Creature

I delved into my topper box and found this gorgeous one from Lily of the Valley.

I used a 5x7 card blank and Kraft card for the mats. 

I cut out with CE Pierced Ovals die

We have a 15gbp voucher from Stamp Addicts for a randomly chosen winner.

Penny Black Christmas

Good Morning All

My card today is a Penny Black.  I think it was some cards I bought on Ebay a very long time ago. 

I coloured with Polychromos and stencilled to look like snow.

All mounted onto Christmas paper and gold Mirri.

I have been making some cards for my crafty Friend Val, to help her out.  Very difficult in 30 degree heat!!!!! Phewwww.

Groovi Christmas

 Good Morning All

I have a Groovi class at the shop this afternoon and I thought we would do Christmas.

Here is a quick card I made for them and I had to borrow the plate from my Craft mate Sharon. I thought I had this one but I only have the heart shape.  They look so effective with some gems and glitter added.

I mounted it onto dotty paper which I though looked like snow and added a peeloff for the sentiment.

My next ones I will emboss the sentiment as I do have some Christmas ones on a plate somewhere

I shall be making more like this for my crafty friends.
