Crafty Catz Challenge Blog - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Male Birthday

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are well this is the first of two blog posts from me today. I am far away in Disneyland Paris with my husband, daughter and son-in-law. It is one of the celebrations of my 60th birthday which is in May. It is much cheaper to go to Disneyland Paris now.

Being Friday the new challenge starts on Crafty Catz Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and the optional twist is Male Birthday. The sponsor is Crafty Sentiments Designs. This time the Design Team used their own images.

I wanted to make a card for our friend who is very keen on fishing and enjoys being with his grandchildren. 

Crafty Sentiments Designs have many wonderful images in their store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

This is image is in a digital set called Gone Fishin' which comes from Beccy's Place.  I printed the image onto Neenah card with the sentiment. Then I cut a large circle from some card and placed it over the image and the sentiment.  I used Distress ink with some brushes to create a circle around the image. 

This sentiment comes in the set. Our friend will love it he is retired. 

I used a Creative Expressions die to create the sentiment. 

Have a great weekend.

I would like to enter challenge 186 at the Cards 4 Guyz Challenge blog  and challenge 25 at the International Art and Soul challenge blog.  

Happy Crafting

Crafty Catz Challenge Blog - Optional theme Thank You

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week been? I woke up without a headache for the first time in ages yesterday only to hurt my back later when I was sorting out some of my crafty stash. Serves me right for trying to pick up something way too big. I think I was in denial about just how many dies I have and I never seem to have everything I need.

This is my second offering for the Crafty Catz Challenge Blog the sponsor this time is Crafty Sentiments Designs. The theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of a thank you sentiment.

When I saw the image I thought she would look good in pink. I added mats and layers and a patterned paper to match. 

Crafty Sentiments Designs has lots of wonderful images the store is worth a look if you click on the logo you should get taken to the store. 

This is the  image she  is called Emmi Loo - Just Me she is available from the store. I coloured her with Promarkers and the image and border was cut with Tattered Lace dies. 

Again this is my very useful thank you die that came free with a magazine sometime ago. 

It was good to use my Promarkers again I have been neglecting them lately. 

I would like to enter the Anything Goes Challenge at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge blog and challenge 49 at the Crafting with Friends Challenge blog. 

I hope you have time to join in with our challenge. 

Happy Crafting
