Dr Digi Funny Sentiments

Good morning, hope you all had a good weekend?

I spent a lovely afternoon in my craft room working on my next memory book.  Since doing my first book using Tonic Memory Book 2 these books have definitely hit the spot with me and I just love doing them.  

Well today we do start a lovely new challenge over at Crafting From The Heart.

As usual our theme is

'Always Anything Goes'

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Dr Digi House of Stamps

I have used a digi stamp set from Dr Digi House of Stamps called 'Funny Sentiments 2'.  The sheet of sentiments is substantial and I used two of them.

My card is A5 in size and I have designed it in Serif Craft Artist using a digi kit called 'BTS Pets'.

I also used one of the sentiments on the insert

Shaking for Christmas

Hi there, another week over and I just love Friday's although I have a busy day today so not much crafting done.  Tomorrow will be my crafting day.

A new challenge begins at Simply Create Too.  

Our theme for this month is

'Make a Shaker Card'

I have used a background I made sometime ago where I took some heat resistant acetate, covered it with dries clear glue and then sprinkled it with cosmic shimmer pixie powders, then put some tissue paper onto it and leave it to dry.  This technique is one I learnt from John Lockwood and Julia Watts.  

I also sprinkled some gold glitter into it before putting the tissue paper on.

The frame was cut from Sue Wilsons Peg Board die and the poinsettia I die cut from Dawn Bibby.

I finished off with a sentiment from Phill Martin's stamps.

Take care.

Christmas Candles

 Good morning all.  Hope you are well? Given it is now October I thought I had better make a start on Christmas.  So this is my first Christmas card and my first Christmas cake has been soaking for 7 days and was made yesterday ready for feeding.  My 2nd cake is soaking.

We start a new challenge at Get Creative Challenge today.

Our sponsors for this challenge are

Ike's Art

Wink Wink Ink

Angie's Digital Stamps

Our theme for this challenge is

'BINGO'

I chose to use 

flowers | use jewels | 2 or more brads.

My image is a digi stamp from our sponsor Ikes Art and is called 'Christmas Candles'.

After printing my image out I coloured it in using my sakura pens.  I do love a bit of sparkle at Christmas.  I matted it onto some green card.

My card base is a white A5 followed by a piece of green card as a mat.  My patterned paper was a freebie from either one of my Christmas magazines.

I then stamped the poinsettias using a stamp from Chloe's Creative Cards and Wow glitter powder called 'Rudolphs Nose' also from Chloe's Creative Cards.  I stamped onto vellum.

A green leaf brad in each corner and jewels in the centre of my poinsettias.  

Why not pop over to our challenge blog to enter your own project into the challenge, just remember to follow the theme of 'Bingo', pick any line and good luck.

Thank you for visiting today.

Take care.
