This is an A6 size Christmas card using an LOTV topper and Centura pearl card embossed using Johns Snowflake EF.

I have no idea where the silver and white ribbon came from.

The gifts I gave out were these lovely envelope  bags I made from Amazon packaging with a tube of Mentos in each one.  I decorated each one with my Junk Journal stuff and gems left over  from Chrystal art.  I fastened by punching two holes and threading ribbon through.

Last weeks challenge was a choice of a sketch or a Baby card.

AG with option use Stencil

 Good Morning All

Welcome to the Allsorts Challenge for with a theme  chosen by Brenda of

Anything Goes with an option of using a Stencil.

I am still playing with my Clarity Masks and loving them along with my Oxides.

I used the outer part of the mask to use as a stencil and inked through it with a contrasting colour, then stamped it randomly.   When I removed it I went around it with a fine tip pen.

I did get a couple of smudges, hence the gems left over from Crystal Art and I added alot more as I have loads left over.

Brenda is offering 

Two prizes, AALL and Create stencil  and Woodware stamp

  

Have fun.

I caught a show in Create & Craft the other day,  I dont watch much selling TV but like to watch John and Clarity.  -anyway Barbara was on C&C and as I was searching catchup I clicked on a show with Sandra Rushton doing zentangles.  So off i popped to You tube to catch up on some more of her work and here are a couple of tiles I have done.

I drew the heart free hand, hence a little mis shaped!!!

But still quite pleased with it.

This one is only part done but I think it will turn out nice.

They can become quite addictive.

Groovi Scraps

 Good Morning All

Most of the cards I make are square, so when I am using a sheet of parchment for Groovi, which are A4 size, I cut in half so I have two A5 sheets and I am left with a narrow strip after I have done my work.

Hence, I have alot of these bits left over so on this card I am trying to use some.  I have a plate with Butterflies and another with Bows, on so I use these to make embellishments and here is a Pink bow as the focal point.

I attached it to a smaller embossed square then onto  gridwork, all mounted onto Clarity designer paper then onto pink card.

I have not azdded a sentiment yet as I am not sure who it will be sent to.

Two Clarity die cards

 Good Morning All

Here are a couple of cards I made last week using I die I have had for quite  while that I bought from Clarity.

I used the same backing paper but different colour cardstock.  Quite quick to make once decided what card to use.

I think I prefer the black one.

I,m quite enjoying my card making again.

Do you find you have spells on different crafts?

I am still crocheting lots of hats and cowls for the homeless and baby hats too.

I have found a  lady that  know other ladies that help charities that need these items so she takes them all from me which is great.

For A Child for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is 

For A Child

And as we are sponsored by Ruth Hamilton Designs, I used one of her digis called Bunny in  Basket.

I decided to make Tess's birthday card ready for March.

I coloured the image with my Polychromo pencils then cut with CE Circles.

 Matted onto Kraft card embossed with CE Mosaic Leaves.

I added the sparkle ribbon from Crafty Ribbons as Tess loves Sparkle, then added  narrow gingham ribbon to the sentiment tag and a heart charm.

Brenda is giving these as a prize too

A set of three Wizard of Oz stamps. 

A Tinman Stamp

Also Ruth Hamilton Designs giving Digis too

Accordion books for a Junk Journal

 Good Morning All

These Accordion Books are what we made at Junk Journal Class last week.

There is plenty of journal space and you can decorate to your hearts content.

I just think they are so  pretty.

I do still love my Junk Journal making but now I give them away instead of selling.  I make them more into Notebooks then people might understand them abit more.

 In some cases I ask for postage but alot of the time I send to Postpals or friends.

Again, I am using some gems left over from Crystal art, I have loads so I shall be using them on lots of things.

The paper is from an LOTV pad too.
