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.

Stamp Addicts is a family run business based in Bedfordshire and have been in business since 1992. We have watched the popularity of rubber stamping and all papercrafts steadily increase over time and now manufacture our own branded rubber stamps which frequently feature on Hochanda TV as well as craft shows across the UK.

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.

Fave Stamp for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and the theme this week is

To use your Favourite Stamp with an option of Paper Piecing.

This is a tribute to Kath, a member of our team who lost her  battle with illness afew weeks ago.

I dont stamp very much, I must admit but I do like this stamp a received from one of my team mates.

It is a Penny Black PB3602K Dotted Petals

It stamps well and I dont really have to colour it when used on a background like this.

But here, I used some Blue Stickles.

The background is Oxides and I added some Gingham ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

There are lots of prizes on offer so do have a go. 

There are more details on the challenge blog.

 Good Morning All

I was making afew cards for the charity box and this is one of them.

Used LOTV toppers and paper that has been in my stash for eons!!!

I added an offcut scrap along the side and some punched parchment flowers.

Quite a quick card.

Fashion Sense for River of Creativity & Happy Sunday Challenge

 Good Morning All

A combined post today as it is the 5th of the month so that means it is time for the River of Creativity Challenge with a theme of

Fashion Sense

I will admit that I was abit stumped as to what to do for this one. but as usual, I delved into my LOTV topper box and came up with this sweet image.

The backing paper is from a pad I bought in Primark.

I added one of my sentiments with organza ribbon and added a Hat charm.

I used this card for my Craft Club challenge too and made it a theme of

Pink & Blue

Anything can be used as long as the main colours are Pink and Blue.

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

The gifts I gave out were these yummy packs of biscuits I found in the local supermarket.

Individually wrapped so perfect for putting in boxes.

I added a dangle charm to the ribbon so the ladies can use it in their work.

Onto last weeks challenge which was

 Good Morning All

The theme for Allsorts Challenge this week is 

Anything Goes with an option of

Love of Life

We have the lovely Ruth Hamilton sponsoring us again so I have used her digi called Hollyhocks from her Summer Flowers Collection.

I coloured with Promarkers and mounted onto a hexagon die cut using a Tonic die.

I think it fits with the option of Love of Life to as there is nothing nicer than live flowers.

*******

Some of you may know that a member of our design team over at Allsorts sadly passed away afew weeks ago, so

In memory of Kath: Next weeks challenge would have been hosted by Kath and in her usual organised fashion she had selected her theme months ago. We are still having that theme but with a slight amendment to celebrate her style of crafting with some special prizes. So we hope lots of you will join us on 11th September for 'A Challenge for Kath'.

Under The Sea for MAWTT

 Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is

Under The Sea

chosen by Zoe.

I made a Notebook for Hollie, which I will give to her next time I see her, whenever that may be!!

I laminated the cover and added some lovely silk ribbon for closure.

I added 2 charms to the ribbon, the hearts says Love and the other Believe.

This is an envelope with another image of a Mermaid on it and I shall probably put some money in there.

I also added a couple of pages from a story book with some nice pictures in it.

I will get her into Junk Journalling !!!

I got the Mermaid papers from Janeybjournals as part of her Facebook Group.

Here is a link to her Etsy.
