Challenge 130 at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I met a friend for a walk yesterday and we delivered Christmas cards as well. We bumped into someone we both used to work with and she told us she is being vaccinated today. So the vaccine is coming. Today me and my hubby are going to get our flu jabs. Yesterday there was an outage on Google which lasted about half an hour but was rather scary while it was going on. 

Today the new challenge starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are wonderful digi papers to be won.

 I have some personal news. I am stepping down from the Design Team for this Challenge. This will be my last post for them. I have enjoyed my time on the team and the papers are delightful to use. It is great as they are on my computer they are always easy to find. With my hubby being retired now finding time to craft is going to be harder. I am not giving up card making I still love making cards and it is my dream to have a Craft Room. 

The paper I used for this card is the Merry Christmas digi paper set. This design comes in many different colours. 

Click on the logo and you will go straight to the challenge. 

To make this little scene I used the Sam's Circles dies and the Christmas Time die set both from the John Next Door range. 

I am still not sure if I have made enough Christmas cards. We have started writing them and posting them. So I will know soon. 

Enjoy the rest of the day. I think I will be back tomorrow. 

Happy Crafting

The A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog - November 15th Challenge - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good lockdown weekend. We have been trying to sort out our garden and the spare room. Since the rabbits left there is a lot to sort out. We have a rabbit hutch that is looking for a new home. Hopefully is will be gone soon. 

Now is the time for the new challenge at The Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is always Anything Goes and there are gorgeous digi papers on offer as prizes. 

The digi paper set I used for this card is the Gothic Flakes set. 

Our challenges are always fun. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

This little doggy family was made with the Winter Westie digi set from Fred She Said. I used the pre-coloured images and grouped them together. 

The Merry Christmas is a Crafter's Companion die. 

This is another card for my stash of cards. I haven't had time to craft for a while and I am missing it. 

Happy Crafting

The A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog - 15th October Challenge - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? The good news is that our daughter and son-in-law finally have a moving date. I think about two weeks after that they will be able to have the bunnies back. Then we can start working on the room they have been using  becoming  my craft room. 

The mid October Challenge has just started at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are beautiful digi papers on offer as prizes.

I used different papers from the Vintage Christmas set on my card. I saw this sketch somewhere and realised it would be a good one to show off the papers. 

Our challenges are lots of fun and the papers really are worth winning. Click on the logo and you will be taken straight to the challenge. 

To make this little winter scene I combined dies from two sets from the John Next Door range: Sam's Circles die set  and Christmas Time die set. 

I do like this design. I think I will make a few more cards like this one. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog - Challenge 124 - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? My hubby has a couple of days off. Today we have the excitement of getting our eyes tested. I noticed a significant difference with my eyes so the time is right. 

Today Challenge 174 starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are fantastic digi papers on offer as prizes. 

 I used the Gingham papers for my creation. 

Our challenges are lots of fun. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the challenge blog

Some time ago I treated myself to a magazine that had a Flower Fairy paper collection.

The tags were left over from the kit so I decided to put them together to make a card. 

This is a Crafter's Companion die. 

My mother-in-law loves the flower fairies. I might just save this until next year for her. By then I might well have made her something else she is a very special lady. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.

A Bit More Time to Craft - Challenge #122 - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your week. Mine was a bit odd. On Thursday my hubby went into his office to start clearing his desk. If they ever go back to the office no one will have their own desk. So it is better for my hubby to clear the desk now before it is cleared for him. When he got back we had lunch in our local tea shop. You have to book. It was very nice we will have to do it again sometime. 

The new challenge has started at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is always Anything Goes and there are wonderful digi papers to be won. 

For this little creation I used the Hue Digi papers for the background and the flowers. The flowers were cute with the Cornflower die from the John Next Door range. I also used the Star Flower Leaves from the same collection. The friendly little sentiment is from Crafter's Companion. 

Our challenges are lots of fun. Why not join us? Click on the logo and you will be taken to the Challenge blog. 

I have made a few cards like this one. I think they are nice to send to let someone know you are thinking of them. 

Enjoy your weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Challenge #120 at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Blog - the theme is Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I am going for coffee in the garden with friends later this morning. These sort of things seem to be happening more and more. I hope they can continue and that we all stay safe. 

It is time for challenge #120 to start at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog.  The theme is always Anything Goes and there are gorgeous digi papers to be won. 

When I made my uncles birthday card there were papers left over and they were just too gorgeous not to use. 

For this card I used the Mix Digital Paper Set. 

Our challenges are always fun and worth entering to get your hands on the gorgeous papers. Click on the logo above and you will be taken there. 

This is another of my Pollyanna Pickering images from my paper kit. I do love kingfishers though I have never seen one in the wild. 

It is worth having little cards like this around so you can just send someone something to let you know that you are thinking of them. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Take care and stay safe. 

Happy Crafting

A Bit More Time to Craft - 15th May Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is everything going? Has much changed for you? My hubby is still working from home so is our daughter and son-in-law. We haven't visited any of the  places that are now open.  We would love to go to the tip but it will be so busy and we do have places to store things. We are wondering about signing up to the county garden waste scheme. 

Today the new challenge starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and there are some fantastic digi papers on offer as prizes. 

This is the leaving card I made for someone at my hubby's work. I used the Light Music digi papers. 

Our challenges are fun and the papers on offer as prizes are gorgeous. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

I generated the sentiment on the computer. I was able to use some of the paper in the background. I like how you can change the size of the pattern easily with digi papers. As they are stored on my computer they are easy to find when I need them. 

This is the first Tattered Lace die that I bought. It has been very useful over the years. 

Rob did like his card. He and my hubby are still in touch. We are doing online Murder Mysteries together. The last one finished on Saturday and we actually got both of the Murderers right. 

Stay safe and well.

This is the drawing that our daughter made for our little family at Easter. It features me and my hubby, our Daughter and Son-in-law, his parents and the bunnies. It was so lovely to receive this digitally. I have printed a copy and it is in our lounge. 

I did make two versions of this card using different colours of the Day Star papers.

I used the Renmore Die set from the John Next Door range to showcase the sentiment. The Birthday wishes is a die from Crafter's Companion it was cut in black and I used Pebo Gilding wax to help it to show up. 

For decoration I used the Cogs die set from the John Next Door range. They were cut in black card and then I used Pebo gilding wax on them. I like Pebo gilding wax a lot and I have just treated myself to another colour. The wax  goes on beautifully and so far it the ones I have haven't dried out. 

I made this card for a chap I know who likes this style of card. I do like to match the cards I make to the people I am making them for. I am planning to make another card like this in more feminine colours it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
