Sherry West Guest Design Team using Fall Fab Fairy

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

Hasn't it been a hot week. We did get down to the coast on Monday evening. It really isn't too far from where we live. I shouldn't have been but I was surprised how many people were there. We stayed there with our friends until it was dark. It was so cool there I even needed a cardigan (nice). 

This is the second card that I have made for the Sherry West Guest Design Team. This fabulous image is released today. Now Sherry has closed he Etsy shop and her images are now free yes free. If you visit Sherry's blog all the details are there. CLICK HERE to visit the blog.   

You can also join the Facebook Group to keep up with all the current news. Click Here to visit the Facebook Group.  The image is free in the event that is being hosted on the page. 

This image is called Fall Fab Fairy and she was coloured is my Primacolor pencils with a touch of Wink of Stella to the wings. The die I used for the frame is a Spellbinders die. 

Have a great week. I will be back tomorrow with another post. 

Happy Crafting

LOTV Topper Christmas card in Blue

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How are you today? I hope you are nicely recovered from the weekend and ready for the week ahead. If I am lucky my new cooker will be delivered tomorrow. I am looking forward to having a fully functioning oven again.

I made a card with a frame last week and when you make a frame you are left with lots of matching mats that are just too good to waste. When I was going through my stash I found an image that would work perfectly with them. I love it when projects fall into place.

So all the mats and layers were cut with the Double Pierced Squares dies from Creative Expressions. 

This is the LOTV topper I found in my stash. I did use a Wink of Stella pen on the star to make it shine. 

This tiny sentiment was cut with a Tattered Lace die. 

There you have is another card for my very growing stash of Christmas cards. 

I would like to enter the November Christmas Challenge at Beccy's Challenge blog, Weeks 309 and 310 at Pixie's Snippets Playground, challenge 60 at the Make My Monday Challenge Blog and challenge 185 at the Crafting From the Heart Challenge blog. 

Happy crafting

Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge Blog - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Sparkle and Shine

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

Well it is Friday again. The weeks certainly do rush by. I hope you have something nice planned for the weekend. We will probably be working in the garden again on Saturday and on Sunday we are having a meal with friends. I do hope that we will be able to fit in a bit more Christmas shopping.

Being Friday the new challenge starts on the Crafty Catz Weekly challenge blog and this week the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Sparkle and Shine. The sponsor this time is the rather fabulous Polkadoodles.

I cut some silver glitter card to make the base layer. I did cut a frame for the aperture but you can't see that anymore. The wreath was cut with the Festive Bough die set from Creative Expressions. 

There are many wonderful images in the store if you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This image is Winnie White Christmas printables Feeding the Birds and she is available HERE. She was coloured with Promarkers and I added some Wink of Stella to the white to make it sparkle. 

This is a Tattered Lace Robin die that came with one of their magazines. He was die cut in white and coloured with Promarkers. I did spray him and the bough wreath with Spray and Sparkle to make them shiny. 

Have a great weekend. 

I would like to enter Week 46 at Digi Choosday , Challenge 55 at the Crafting with Friends Challenge blog , challenge 56 at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Blog ,Challenge 46 at a Snowflakes Promise Challenge blog , Challenge 43 at the Merry Christmas Challenge Blog , challenge 141 at the Creative Fingers Challenge Blog and the November Challenge at Beccy's Challenges.

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Friday! Today there will be two posts from me it is the first of the month, two of the Design teams I am on challenges start on the first of the month.

The new Challenge on the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog is sponsored by  Art by Miran  and the theme is Anything Goes. There will be a prize of three images of choice from the sponsor.

I used paper and lace from my stash to create the background, I used black in my layers as I had printed the image in black. 

Isn't this logo pretty. If you click on it you will get taken to the store

This is an LOTV stamp that came free with a magazine some time ago I find it very useful. I used a Spellbinders die to mount it. 

The image is called Bubbles Brea and is available in the Etsy store. I coloured her with Promarkers and I used a Wink of Stella pen on the bubbles but of course it doesn't show. I made a frame for the image with the double pierced rectangles by Sue Wilson.  

You can just about see the shimmer on the bubbles in this photo. 

And finally would you like to join us?

We will be holding a DT call this month, you need to have an established and active blog, be happy to be in a Facebook Group (secret!) willing to produce one piece of work a month (usually with digi images provided by our sponsors) , blog it and leave comments on entries throughout the month (not just at the end).
