Sketch Saturday

I must be on a roll as I have managed to complete 8 ATCs and 2 cards in less than 24 hours.

This is my card for the Sketch Saturday challenge. I have rotated the sketch to create my card. I have used some of the lovely Snowman decoupage and papers to make this card.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

After a few months of not managing to get any cards made I finally decided that today I would visit a few old favourites and complete a challenge. I decided to do the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, which was a lovely sketch challenge.
Here is my card:

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

As well as the Bonus Fun challenge on Stamptacular Sunday Challenge this week, there was also the weekly challenge. This week it was entitled "Shapetacular Card." You had to " create a card with an unusual, out of the ordinary shape! NO square or rectangle cards allowed! Along with this requirement you must also include some sort of stamping on your card!"

I have used a new template that I bought earlier this week and my stamps are the Jolly Nation knight and princess. I have had fun creating this card (which has taken me most if the day).

Crafts 4 U Forum

This months colour swap is Gold. I have made three of these. They are lovely and bold.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Build-a-card

It has been ages since I have participated in a challenge, but this one caught my eye and I decided to give it a go. Over on Stamptacular Sunday Challenge there is a Blog Hop with a difference. Each of the DT blogs gives an element to be used to "build-a-card". The elements were: Blue, oval, matting, stamped image, two more colours, ribbon, flowers, charm, sparkle and a friendship themed sentiment. I think I have managed to include all of the elements..

Just Magnolia - Week 9 Paper Piecing

This was the only card that I managed to do at the Craft Club day at my local garden centre on Saturday. The challenge on Just Magnolia was to create a card using paper piecing. This is the first time that I have stamped on to patterned paper and used it as part of my image.

A Few ATCs

I have been a bit pre-occupied lately to get any blogging done. Unfortunately, my Mum had a car accident last week. Thankfully both Mum and Dad are OK, just a bit shaken.

Anyway, I have a few ATCs to share today:

Firstly, I made these ATCs for the swap at my local garden centre on Saturday. The them was "Father's Day". I love these stamps, and I coloured them in with my new promarkers. I am really pleased with the quality of the colouring. When the ribbon is pulled a small message appears.

Secondly, this one is for the Monthly Lottery over on Crafts 4 U. The theme was Black and White.









Then I have a set of three of these for the Monthly swap also on Crafts 4 U, where the theme was Weddings / Brides. I got this cute little image from a Rob Thomas CD that I won in a raffle a few years ago.




Finally, I have these two for the DoCrafts A-Z of Techniques, where this months letters are K and L. I really struggled with the letter K, but came up with "Kite Fold" from Tea bag folding. L was easier. I did Lacé.
