Not A Card

Good Morning All
I have barely looked at my laptop this week as Hollie and her Mum and Dad as still here, so I am spending as much time as possible with them.
*************

Hobbycutz Challenge this week has been set by MOI and I want to see all your gorgeous creations which are NOT cards.  So - scrapbook page, box, fabric, knitting, crochet, sewing ....................

I decided to make a wall/door hanger.

It is hard to get a good photo because of the length. 

I cut scalloped squares and matted with Spellbinders Fleur do Lis  squares, red on one side and Centura pearl on the other.  I used Hobbycutz snowflakes and glittered them, then used bits and bobs that were in my Christmas box.

I shall put this on the patio doors between my craft room and living room at Christmas time.
*******










I also decorated another of the boxes, carrying on from these posts a good while ago HERE, HERE  HERE and HERE which my older followers will remember.

I covered in a lilac handmade paper, wrapped some 'Cat Ribbon' (won from Crafty Ribbons ) around as I am giving it to Hollie and she loves cats. Then added flowers, gems, button, crochet flowers and hearts.
I wrote the label by hand, hopefully, it looks OK.
Put a tiny envelope and card on top aswell with a little note form Nanna.

I put the image from A Day For Daisies inside the lid and added a couple of Marianne die cut butterflies.

In a future post you will see a Keepsake Box I have made for Noah too.


I hope you will join in the challenge this week.

Late one For Hobbycutz

Good Afternoon Everyone

I was asked if I could do a quick card to add to the Hobbycutz Challenge Blog so I put this one on, even though it doesn,t use any of their products.

It is a Marianne Die cut, which I use alot and a sentiment stamp from Hobbyhouse.

A nice card I think and now I am going to sit out side and read while OH gets the BBQ ready, Mmmm.

Good Morning All

Hobbycutz challenge theme is 'Buttons Galore' chosen by Elaine.

I chose this little cutie from the sponsor All Dressed Up and she is called Fairy Magic.

Coloured with Promarkers.  Nearly everything I used was either given to me in candy or by Linda (Animal Aid)- the butterfly die cut, the paper and the starry ribbon.  The buttons were bought in The Range a while ago, a big bag of mixed colours and sizes.

Hope you will join us this week and have some fun.

Shades of Same Colour

Good Morning All
Limited internet access, forgive me for not visiting much, may get back to normal Tuesday. xxxx

Hope you are doing nice things today.

The challenge  at Hobbycutz this week has been set by Ang, Mrs Duck, and she wants to see three shades of same colour.

So mine are all shades of grey, did you ever read 50 Shades of Grey? It seems like an age ago now.

Anyway, back to the card in question.  The image is by Squigglfly and I just adore it, it reminds me of Hollie (she is now blowing kisses when we Skype)

All in shades of black, grey and white.  The lasercut at the side is one of Hobbycutz and I have coloured it with Promarkers.

Photo Inspiration for Hobbycutz

Good Morning All

This week at Hobbycutz Challenge Elaine has chosen the theme and it is a photo  so use this as inspiration for your creations.

  

I used a sweet image from the sponsor called 'Spring Enchantment' and coloured her with Promarkers.  I found the gorgeous butterfly ribbon in our local China shop in the perfect colours for this challenge, yellow and purple.  Hobbycutz lasercuts on the edges to prop the easel with, I love these lasercuts, there are some beauties on the web site HERE and they can be painted or spritzed or even coloured with your pens to match your colour scheme.

Sponsor this week is The Paper Shelter

Flora & Fauna

Good Morning All

Hobbycutz Challenge time again and this week the theme is Flora & Fauna, chosen by Lorraine.

I cut an aperture from a square scalloped card and added acetate to make a window.  Onto this I stuck a Hobbycutz embellishment.  Behind I put some sweet fairy paper  and this matches the sweet fairy holding onto a tulip.  I added  a ribbon down the side and attached homemade 'Birthday' sentiment tags.

The sponsor for this challenge is Crafty Sentiments

and I added one of their lovely circle sentiments on the front and on the inside too.  I do use these circle sentiments quite often, matted onto  scalloped circle die cuts in various colours to match the card I'm doing.

Good Morning All
Hope all is well in your world, it is in mine
Hollie Skyped with her Daddy yesterday and her talking is coming along great, so much fun.  She goes around the house with a pack of baby wipes, cleaning and wiping things down, so funny.  Cant wait to get my hands on her in May when I get over there.
 Also, as it is my Birthday in May, I think we shall have some blog CANDY, what do you think?

*****************

This is my first challenge for Hobbycutz  (I got the dates wrong !!!duhhh) and it is Girly but no Pink.

I chose a lovely  digi from our sponsor Whimsy ' Faerie Dandelion ', I  think she is quite sweet.  Coloured with Promarkers, matted and layered onto orange and brown card ( OH beer cartons).  Two Hobbycutz  embellishments with a heart shaped button, ribbon and a couple of homemade sentiments.  I really like these Hobbycutz Embellishments, they look so good on all creations, scrapbook pages and cards, and I shall be using them alot more now, I have pinched these off John Next Door until mine arrive.
