A special card

Still on my mission of making birthday and special cards for next year I made this 60th card for a friend.  I will enter it into this weeks Willow Sketchie challenge (sketch).

Pillow Boxes

I don't normally make Christmas packaging for gifts as they tend to end up straight in the bin in our house which is a little disheartening if you have spent hours making it.  However, I grew a chilli plant this summer and have lots of chillies which I have dried.  I will give some away as gifts and so have made a couple of pillow boxes to put them in:

I will enter these into this weeks ABC Christmas (w is for wrapping) and this months Ready Teddy Go (not square) challenges.

Christmas Winston

Another Christmas card- this time using Winston the owl from Digistamp Boutique.
I will enter this card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) and MAWTT (dotty) challenges.

Lots of crafting and nothing to show

Debs kindly offered to organise the last swap on CMLI before Christmas this year.  The theme is 'Christmas' but it is open to what you choose to make.  I had a lovely day yesterday, crafting to my hearts content, but I can only give you a sneaky peek of what I made.  We have decided this month to make it a surprise as to what you will receive in the swap.  I will post more photos after 10th Dec- watch this space...

Birthday Winston

Another birthday card to add to my stash for next year:

This uses a Digistamp Boutique image (Winston the Owl).  I will also enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie challenge (sketch and favourite colouring medium- Promarkers).

Party!

I bought some new papers last week from the Glitter Pot Sale and so was itching to use them.  This is a card I made today:

I will enter this into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch and fav. colouring medium- promarkers) challenge.

Christmas tags #2

These are a second batch of Christmas tags I made yesterday, all using DigiStamp Boutique images:

I will also enter these into this weeks ABC Christmas challenge (w is for wrapping- I hope that tags count as part of gift wrapping; if they don't then I am sorry and just ignore my entry).

Christmas tags #1

I needed to make some tags to go on my Christmas presents (when I have bought them!).  This is one batch that I made yesterday:

I will enter these into this weeks I love Promarkers challenge (they all feature a Christmas tree).

Simple Christmas Trees

This is a quick card I made today using an image that I was given.  Love the image- thanks Debs.  I will enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers challenge (Christmas trees).

A special anniversary

I have to make two special anniversary cards  for January- one for my Grandparents (65th) and one for my Aunt and Uncle (40th). I bought a stamp from eBay but it hasn't come yet and so I went and bought another stamp on Saturday...  (well I wanted both anyway ;-)).  This is for my Aunt and Uncle.  I will enter the card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) and Willow Sketchie (favourite colouring medium- Promarkers) challenges.

Another mega purple card

Last week I made a purple card for my cousin's daughter who love the colour purple (she is 18 months old). This week I have made another purple card for her- this time for her birthday (in March- a bit early, but I won't be here between Jan and May and so am trying to be organised- it won't happen, but we can try!).
I will enter the card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) challenge.

Winston the Owl

This is a new Digistamp Boutique image that I got last week- I think Winston the owl is a fab character and can't wait to got the other images printed and coloured.
I will enter this card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) challenge.

Just for You

Another of those Lily of the Valley cat images this time using this weeks Cute Card Thursday sketch.  I will also enter the card into this weeks Passion for Promarkers challenge (in the garden- lots of flowers).

Pink Christmas

Nothing wrong with a pink Christmas card, I think....  Here's one I made using a DigiStamp Boutique image. I will enter the card into this weeks Cute Card Thursday (sketch) and I love Promarkers (pink) challenges.

Christmas Party

It has been ages since I made an easel card but i was inspired to do so by this months Christmas Cards all year round challenge (shaped cards or fancy folds).  This is a bit of a comedy card using a Bugaboo image which I got last week.  I will also enter the card into this weeks ABC Christmas challenge (vivid colours).

Thanks a bunch

I just love the Lily of the Valley cat images.  I made this card using this weeks sketch from Willow Sketchie challenge.

Happy Anniversary

I am trying to be organised and make cards for birthdays and anniversaries which are coming up in the New Year.  I need 3 anniversary cards for Jan and Feb but I'm not sure if I dare send this one now that I have made it, in case the recipients take offence- lol!  I did have fun making it though :-)
I will enter the card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) and MAWTT (stitch up- faux stitches) challenges.

Three French Hens

I was away in September and for part of October and so missed R, S and T of the ABC Christmas challenge this year.  I thought I would try and catch up and so this is for T (Twelve Days of Christmas- 3 French Hens) as well as the current V is for vivid challenge.  The image is a new one from Bugaboo stamps that I got with my prize from last weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge- thanks!  I have used the sketch from this weeks challenge for this card.  I will also enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers (cute) and MAWTT (stitch up- faux stitches) challenges.

My first rocking card

I had never made a rocker card before yesterday but have admired them for a long time on other people's blogs and so thought I'd give it a go.  I will enter this into this weeks I love Promarkers (cute) and this months CCAYR (shaped) and Ready Teddy Go (not square) challenges.

Music Monster

It's a friend's birthday soon and he has just recently moved to Australia and so I needed to make a fairly flat/light card.  I still think this would be better with a bit of dimension, but....
I love these images and just had to get them from Digistamp Boutique.  I will enter the card into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenge.

Carols at Christmas

Carol singing owls!  I have used a Willow Designs image for this card.  I tried to keep it plain and simple but ended up adding the ribbon and button.
I will enter the card into this weeks ABC Christmas (vivid colours) and Willow Sketchie (sketch) challenges.

Too purple?

Purple is my cousin's daughter's (who is 18 months old) favourite colours and so I thought I'd make her a purple Christmas card.  Do you think this is too purple??
I will enter the card into this months CCAYR challenge (shaped cards/fancy folds) and this weeks I love Promarkers (cute) and Willow Sketchie (festive sparkle and shine- lots of glitter on this card!) challenge.
