My Version of Tim's Day 9 Tag


Here is my version of Day 9 of the 12 Tags of Christmas by Tim Holtz.

Easy Elegance


The new challenge on My Time To Craft is called Easy Elegance. I inked a blank card with Tea Dye Distress Ink and stamped a Crafty Individuals Flourish stamp using Adirondack Butterscotch ink around the edges. I then stamped a beautiful lady stamp by LB Crafts with the Butterscotch, and used the Tea Dye to edge the piece of card and rub over around the lady. I finished the card with some ribbon and pearly flower embellishments.

My Version of Tim's Day 6 Tag



Now no laughing - I had to draw my own birds for this one!! Tim's 12 Tags of Christmas are on his blog here.

Lilac Christmas


The theme on My Time To Craft is Contemporary Christmas and I have made a lilac card with a curly Christmas tree stamp that I hope fits the bill! It is an Anita's stamp and I don't know the make of papers, and I printed the greeting on the pc.

I missed out day 4 for now and have made my take on day 5, although I am still waiting for my grungeboard to arrive so have had to improvise with other things! Link to Tim's blog on the right hand side somewhere!

Another Beautiful Sky!


There was another beautiful sky this morning so out I went in my pink fluffy slippers to capture it again - hoping the passers by weren't watching!

House Mouses


I am panicking now as time is getting short for finishing my Christmas cards, so have gone into production line mode and I am making several at once! I used my House Mouse Ho! Ho! Ho! stamp for these (another lot are under way too!)

Sunrise


I don't usually blog my photos, but when I got up this morning there was a beautiful orange glow outside and I opened the front door and took this pic!

Tapestry Stamped Moo


I needed one more Moo so got my tapestry stamps out to make this one and stamped with Distress Inks and added Stickles to the holly berries - I wish I had more time to play with them as I love them!

Lace Tree


I had to have a go with my new Cuttlebug embossing folder, Lace Tree. I think it is lovely and elegant looking - hopefully my Auntie will like this card!

Funky Christmas


The challenge on Penny Black Saturday is Funky Christmas - so I made my card in lilacs and pinks. I stamped my favourite snowman stamp, Skating Snowy and watercoloured and glitter glued him, then matted him onto some lilac paper and some Cuttblebug embossed snowflake card, and added a message and some QK snowflakes to finish.

Stamping on Candles


A couple more stamped candles using House Mouse stamps - I have to say the fiddliest bit was putting the ribbons on after!!

Funky Fairy Challenge # 43





The new challenge is a sketch to follow, or use pink and blue, or combine the two on Funky Fairys new forum here! I made a LO using FF Blue Christmas and Funky Meets Shabby Chic papers and a photo of Louise sleeping on her first Christmas Day when we were waiting to open her pressies!

Forever Friends


A friend kindly sent me these Forever Friends images - I think they may have been for Georgia to use but I nabbed them!! I made a couple of quick Christmas cards with them!

Gruffy In The Snow


I don't usually do this, but I have made a card for 2 challenges as time is short!! House Mouse & Friends have the theme I'ts Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, and Papertake Weekly have Let it Snow. I used my Gruffy stamp of the bear in the snow on his sled and got a bit carried away with my snowflakes round the edges!

Pets Moo


The current challenge on Make a Moo or Two is Pets - I hadn't made one for a while so felt like having a go! I used a free download image from Art-e-Zine, K & Co papers, Distress Inks and embellishments.
