BLOG CANDY

Jak at Crafters Kitchen has had an amazing 2000,000 hits on her blog and to celebrate she is giving away some super blog candy. Go have a look and leave a comment, after all you have to be in it to win it as they say.

Right then here's my card for the 2nd challenge on the Sketch and Stash Challenge blog, I love the idea of a sketch to start your imagination working and the use of something new or unused to make a card. My something new this week is the new cd from Joanna Sheen it's called Cottage Garden and has some great things on it.

Hope you like what I have come up with, by the way they are looking for a guest designer over on their blog so go and have a look and if you fancy having a try leave a comment.

Blog Candy and a challenge

Everyone loves a bit of blog candy and there is some going here do go and have a look and join in, this is Ann's first time on the team so please support her and have a bit of fun.

This is the card I've made for the Sketch and Stash challenge, it's a great way to encourage us to use all that new stash we've got and not used. This time I've used some papers bought today and the picture has been done with my new set of Lyra crayons. Why not go and have a look and join in here

Just wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope the coming year is kind to you. I love coming along and visiting all your blogs and pinching ideas from them :-) hopefully this will be a two way thing if I ever have any ideas worth passing on to you - help yourself!

I've been quite remiss about putting things on here you could have been forgiven for thinking I'd forgotten how. I have had these rabbit stamps for a while now but not used them so thought as I have so many birthdays in January I'd make a start, she is stamped in VintageSepia Versafine and watercoloured with Lyra Aquacolor, the bottom border is done with a corner punch with the wings taken off. I saw this idea on another blog and was quite taken with it, you can see the other things the person who inspired me does here mind you my creations don't hold a candle to her work but I keep trying.

Getting near to the end of my christmas cards now, this is for a friends mum. The image is off the Pamela West cd from Joanna Sheen and the ivy leaves have been cut on my Cricut from a file made by Dan I have used Jones Tones paint for the berries and the corners are cuttlebug. The image is highlighted with Stickles in Stardust.

Made this from the new Strictly Card Dancers cd for my friends birthday, the background is cut on my Cricut using the Storybook cart. Although I have cut it in gold I think it would look good in black too so may have a bit of a play and see what I come up with.

Art Deco CD

Another new cd and this is one of the cards made from it, I think I'll be getting a lot of use from this one as the images are truly fab. I've bought the new Strictly card Dancers too so watch out for a few samples from that too, if you fancy any of these cd's you'll find them here

Yet more christmas cards

Just a couple of cards done recently, christmas cards nearly all done now.

Walk in Wonderland

Just got the new My craft Studio cd and have to make a Yule card for a friend who doesn't do Christmas, hope you like it.

There's some fab blog candy up for grabs but you'd better be quick as today's the last day. Go have a look here

I'm a bit of a sucker for cd's so had to buy the latest one from Joanna Sheen and these are the first couple of cards I've done with it.

Back from Holiday and into more crafting.

Made this for a workmate who announced his engagement yesterday after a week off work. It isn't anywhere near as pink as the picture but the flash seems to have changed it's colour.

Sorry not been around much and not really been doing much in the crafting depatment. I needed these cards for a friend so got going and am quite happy with the results.

Will be on holiday next week so a good opportunity to get some pics taken and more scrapbooking done when I get back.

This weeks challenge is to use a Bee Gees song title, something red, a bit of bling some ribbon and buttons. This is my interpretation, I didn't realise the llist of songs that they had written!

Another scrapbook page for another challenge, this one had to have a royal connection amongst other things so this is the best I could do.

Joined in a challenge for a scrapbook page and this is what I've come up with. It's a bit bright for me really but had the papers and decided to give it a go, hope to do more in the near future as I have tons of pics to sort through.

Here is a card made for an ex workmate who is getting married at the end of the month, sorry I can't take credit for the basic idea but I can for the way I've adapted it.
