Wings & Tails for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and our theme has been chosen by Ellie and is

Wings & Tails

When I made this card I was making a load of Man cards for my charity box and I saw this topper in the pile from LOTV and thought it fitted the theme perfectly with Birds, Butterflies and a Bear.

The gems are what has been left over from a Crystal Art picture I did.

Two prizes of Woodware stamps

Cute or what

 Good Morning All

Here are two cute cards made with some toppers I found in my stash.

No one can resist pups so they make perfect cards for the charity box.

The toppets are matted onto coloured card and then onto an embossed card using CE Paws EF.

On Tuesday we had our Groovi class and I had a complete newbie there, she had never done parchment at all and was visiting family in the area.

How good is that!!!!

Anita (new)  Sue  Liz and Jill

They all did a great job

This is mine before I added glitter and some gems.  I had to make it quick on Monday as thats when I got the plate.

I will adorn my Christmas tree with it when I put decs up at weekend.

Home and Groovi Class

 Good Morning All

I am back home after my visit to Ricks.  I had a wonderful time with them all and my 1st ever Christmas day with them which we had on Saturday.  A lovely Christmas lunch cooked by Lorien and we exchanged gifts too which was wonderful.  It was great to see the girls open the pressies I bought them and we also had a great time making crackers and I bought them two Crystal Art cards to make for their Mum and Dad.

It is my Groovi class this afternoon but this is what we made at the last one-

Here afew they made

I think they did really well.

This is what we are attempting this afternoon.

This is one I made very quickly yesterday, hence the branches are not decorated very much.

It is not stuck together so  I may add some glitter to the branches and then use it for the top of my very small Christmas tree.

Here are a couple of pics of the girls -

Use a Die for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge this week is

Use A Die

I used a digi from one of our sponsors, Ruth Hamilton Designs, called Sunflowers.

I coloured with Polychromos.

I did use afew dies on this  -  CE pierced Oval,  Tattered lace Butterfly and Xcut sentiments tags.

The papers are Phill Martin.

Prize on offer is

Tattered Lace Floral Edges cut and emboss

And Ruth will give 3 digis too.

Ruth Hamilton Design: I have enjoyed crafting all my life and have been involved in the craft industry for several years. I started drawing images to use on cards for my own use and then went on to design some stamps for a well known craft company.I am an avid lover of nature so most of my drawings are of flowers, birds and animals. Even when I can’t travel I love spending time in the garden, growing plants and looking after them. I hope you enjoy colouring my digi images, I have several YouTube videos here.

AG for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Morning All

At Crafty Ribbons they have a wonderful selection of Gingham ribbons in gorgeous colours and various widths.

I altered some paperclips and used the ribbon to add on to the ends.

I also used seam binding on some.  I added a flower to each to compliment the ribbon.

The papers are from Gi Kerr on Etsy.

Very happy with these.

Fancy Fold for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

As it is 1st of the month it is Moving Along With The times Challenge time.

The theme is 

A Fancy Fold

So I made an Ephemera holder or a journal card holder for a journal and this is made from a used A5 envelope that I received my Clarity monthly plate in.

This has 2 pockets at the top and 1 at the side.

The 'Handmade by' ribbon on the edges if from Crafty Ribbons and perfect for this project.

(link in sidebar)

I love making things like this and nice to include in Happy Mail or give to my Junk Journal class ladies.

I do have a tutorial on how to fold and cut this

Pop over to the challenge blog to see what the other DT have been making.

A couple of cards for the Kids

 Good Morning All

One of my Craft Club ladies gave me some Peter Rabbit images so I thought I would make some kids cards for the charity box.

The paper is from an LOTV pad backed onto peachy coloured card.

This second card is using the scraps left over from the first one.

Just tiny bit of snow here in Corby and very cold, but that is fine by me.

I die cut some of John's (JND) crackers before I came here so that Hollie and Tess could decorate them.

As this post goes live I shall be waking up in the UK with Hollie and Tess, and of course, Rick and Lorien.

Here is my challenge card for this week for my Craft Club.  Yes, it is another Christmas card with a topper from LOTV.

This will run for 2 weeks as I am away having cuddles with Hollie & Tess.

Here is the sketch I followed.

These are the gifts I gave them on Friday, and they are yummy, I did have to sample a packet!!!!!

The  paper I made the boxes from is very beautiful and its 

by Craft Consortium, it is from a pad I bought at the craft shop.

I found the biscuits in a local supermarket and they have about 6 cream filled biscuits in.
