AG with Vintage option for Allsorts

 Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and the theme is Anything Goes but  Mervi has also added a Vintage theme too if you would like to use it.

I found these vintage pieces in my stash, goodness knows where they came from, so I used them all on this card and they fitted the Vintage theme too.

The lace is from Crafty Ribbons (link in sidebar)

We have 

Ruth Hamilton Designs

sponsoring 

and this prize too

Indigo Blu Rose Blush stamp

I made this extra card using Ruth's Hollyhocks digi.  I have used this before and coloured it pink, very easy and enjoyable to colour.

Christmas Showcase for Crafty Ribbons

 Good Afternoon All

Crafty Ribbons are having a Showcase week for Christmas.

I made a noticeboard which I shall hang on the wall in my craftroom when I have had a move around at the end of November.

I used some wonderful Bias binding with a fancy edge to sew the borders.

And for the middle criss cross part I used the Christmas Skinny  collection

Very happy with this and I am quite pleased with my stitching LOL.

Afew more Christmas cards

 Good Morning All

As you can see, I am still clearing out my Christmas box and using some really old stash.

These toppers were from Card Making Magazine from before I moved to Spain, over 11 years ago.

The Snowflakes are JND and the rest is all older stash.

I am getting great satisfaction using my old stuff.

It does mean I can buy new next Christmas though!!!

Here is a quick Groovi card made with one of the monthly members plates.

Still on my mission to use my Christmas Stash.

I have had these die cuts in the box since last year, the tree is Creative Expressions and the Sentiment on the 2nd one  is Johns (JND)

These are quick cards ready to go in the charity box at the shop.

AG for Crafty Ribbons & Happy Sunday Challenge

 Happy Sunday to you all.

Crafty Ribbons time for me again so I combine this with my challenge for Craft Club too.

I found these brads and wanted to use them so added a small piece of Seam binding to each one.

I used one of my Oxide inked background and a scrap of floral card and added 3 butterflies with the sentiment.

I added 3 pearls to each brad centre so they look abit like butterflies too.

I also added seam binding to the sentiment tag too.  Seam binding is so versatile and there is a massive colour choice in the Crafty Ribbons shop.  I love it and use is alot in my journals too.

The challenge last week was a sketch and there were only afew entries as some of my ladies are on holiday.

I added lots of embellishment to the fronts of  both and  tied with Organza ribbon

The smaller one I made a bag for and that is embellished too.

I added a decorated paperclip to both too.
