2013 Calendar

Back with my mission to make a few Christmas presents, I decided to make another 2013 calendar today.  This time I have stepped outside my normal comfort zone and gone a bit arty (OK not much) with the back ground.  I tore up scraps of backing paper that were left over for ages and stuck them down randomly.  Then it has been coated with Decoupatch glue (glossy).  The kraft backing is actually a packaging box which Mum's birthday present came in.  The image is from Pollycraft. I will enter this into this weeks Waste not Wednesday and MAWTT (summer) challenges.

Party!

This is another card using one of the images I won from Bugaboo.  I wanted to make a fun card to give to a friend next weekend as she will have finished her job then (a cause for celebration as she didn't like it- she has another lined up and so it is not a bad thing :-)).  I will enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch) and Waste not Wednesdays challenges (all the backing papers are scraps).

Juggling

I bought this digi just before Pollycraft closed and this is the first time I have used it.  I will enter the card into this months Ready Teddy Go (anything goes- blog hop too!!) challenge.

P is for paper piecing

Woo Hoo!  I won last weeks ABC Christmas challenge!  I have gone straight off and bought 7 digis from Bugaboo (my prize).  Here's my first card with my winnings...

I will enter it into this weeks ABC Christmas (paper piecing) and  sweet sketch Wednesday (sketch) challenges and this months CCAYR (children's Christmas) challenge.

Blue Christmas

I seem to be in the grove for making Christmas cards with non traditional colours at the moment.  This uses a super DigiStamp Boutique image.

I will enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenge.

RTG blog hop!

I'm a sucker for cute cards and so making one with a teddy bear is my kind of thing.  Hence I love the RTG challenge blog! They are having a blog hop at the moment...

Cute Christmas

I made this card with the following challenges in mind- Willow Sketchie (1 charm, 2 papers, 3 gems), Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch), CCAYR (kids Christmas), DigiStamp Boutique (monthly customer competition), I love Promarkers (spot and stripes) and Digi Doodle Shops Best (ribbon and bows).

O is for 'open it out'

This weeks ABC Christmas challenge is to make a card and decorate the inside too.  I decided to make a card with an aperture, so that the 'inside' was the 'outside' too.  I have used a DigiStamp Boutique image that  I love.  I will also enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenge and this months CCAYR (children's Christmas) challenge.

Aliens have landed!

I wanted to make a few fun ATCs and thought I'd use some images from the Pollycraft Cogs and Critters range.  I will enter these into this weeks I love Promarkers (spots and stripes) and Waste not Wednesday (all papers are scraps) challenges.

Garden ATCS

A couple more ATCs for the swap that I am running on CMLI at the moment.  I have used these super digi images from DigiStamp Boutique.  The format of the ATCs was inspired by Cherry's August challenge on CMLI- to be inspired by colour and the word 'garden'.

I will also enter these into this weeks MAWTT challenge (summer).
