Bits & Bobs

 Good Morning All

A couple of cards today using embossed card, the 1st one using offcuts too, so happy about that.

When I am at my Craft group, I sometimes cut and mat digi images ready for use on cards.

Quick cards for the charity boxes.

I like the diecut sentiment on this one too.

Sentiments

 Good Morning All

Sentiments are the name of the game today.

Great for mens cards, infact this 1st one was sent to Australia for Johns son.

You really dont need much more on a card to make it good.

What do you think??

Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

We were back at Craft Group on Firday and it was lovely to see all the ladies again.

The challenge I gave them was 

Circles & Ribbon,

I punched lots from waste card in different Pinks glued 16 in a grid pattern and added a stamped sentiment on a diecut  circle.

I found these fancy brads in my stash added a snip of ribbon through it.

The gifts I gave out were Orange flavoured Club biscuits.

Use A Sentiment for MTTC Challenge

 Good Morning All

Welcome to the first challenge of the year for My Time To Craft.

The theme this time has been chosen by Alison and it is

Use A Sentiment

My card is fairly simple and features a 'Thanks'  diecut from Creative Expressions and the Ivy die from JND.

I cut the sentiment from the pearlised dark pink card then used that some card as the mat.

I added some diagonal embossed lines in the tope right corner and shaped the Ivy with a ball tool.

We have a worldwide team so why not pop over and see all the other DT's work

Thank You

 Good Morning All

Another Thank You card from me today, following the MAWTT post below.

Paper is from LOTV 8x8 paper pad, a die cut Sentiment and a parchment butterfly.

I like to add at least one Thank You card when I donate a box of cards for a raffle prize to the charities.

I have found another outlet for my cards too.

A friend of mine, Paula, helps out at a local Dog Sanctuary in Guadamar, so I asked her if she could take some and sell them on her Bingo nights and keep all the money for the sancuarty.  She is happy to do that and I am happy to give them.

Happy New Year MAWTT Thanks

 Good Morning All

Best Wishes to one and all for 2025

The Challenge for Moving Along With The Times this month is

Thank You

I made two cards for this one and these came about because I was trying to clear a box on my desk that all bits and bobs get thrown into, well not thrown but you know what I mean.

I really did not cut anything for this, everything is from the box and I did clear it too.

I now am working on the trolly on my left side of desk that has files with lots of stuff in.  Every time I clear it I promise that I am NOT going to let it build up  ever again!!!!

Who am I kidding????

Something New for MTTC

 Good Morning All

I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas.

As this post goes live we will still be away on holiday for the Christmas Duration.

Anyway, back to crafting and today is time for a new challenge for 

My Time To Craft and the theme is  

Something New 

chosen by Margaret.

I was lucky enough to win a challenge over at Allsorts and I collected my prize when I went over to UK  for Mums 100th Birthday in November.  The prize was a wonderful stamp set from AALL & Create.

So I stamped one of the flowers onto  a piece of plain white card then coloured with Oxides and a water brush.

Inked around the edges and added afew dewdrops.

Matted the piece onto brown card and added a sentiment.

I'm really happy with this card and the stamps stamp beautifully.

This is my first time using this brand.

For the Men

 Good Morning All

Here's a couple of cards for the men.

I bought the digi images on Etsy and they are very useful for Man cards.

This one is using scraps from the box, offcuts of card and paterned paper.

Two useful cards to have on stock or for the charity box.

Doodling

 Good Morning All

I made this card using a couple of Doodles I found in a box on my desk.  I am on a mission at present to sort my desk and my trolley at the side of my desk.

Whenever I clear it all, I promise myself I am not going to let it mount up again and it always does.

Anyway, back to the card.

Just a paint splodge and a quick floral doodle over the top, then diecut with a  pierced square from Creative Expressions.

I really like this one.
