Papertake Weekly Challenge # 31

Good evening peeps, hope you have had a great Christmas? Mine was lovely and quiet, got lots of lovely goodies including some new Anya's, white gold hoop earrings and a new mobile, which is great fun to play with. Its got a touch screen and some fun games so I think you all know what I have been up to over the past week, lol!

Here is my entry for the Papertake Weekly Challenge , ooo I do love Dawny P's sketches, they are all so useable! I have used one of my pressies, the Miss Anya Love stamps and have used Copics to colour her in. Peach and Dusky Pink Bazzill and some scrap paper from a Papermania pack of papers. My sentiment is from Craftwork Cards, ribbon from Anita's and bling from Kaisercraft.

My daughter Georgia has just made herself a blog and she has also entered this challenge, she beat me to it today! Please pop over and leave her a comment, it would really make her day, thanks so much,

MAWTT Challenge # 25, Sue's Sketch & Theme

Hello, hello, long time no blogging for me! I have had such a busy week, I haven't had a lot of time for crafting. I have nearly finished the old Christmas shopping and the wrapping will be done this evening, while I am watching Strictly/XFactor, so am nearly sorted. Anyway, to my DT Entry.

It was the turn of the lovely Susie Sunshine to do a sketch and she has chosen an open theme, so that will give you lots of scope to play and join in our challenge over at Moving Along With The Times . This week's prize has been donated by the lovely Julie of JB-Crafting Supplies . I chose to do a doorhanger for Georgia's room. I have been promising to make her a Christmassy one, and I recently treated myself to these lovely new CC Design Angel stamps, so I just had the paper to choose. I have paper pieced the angel with some Bo Bunny 'Tis the Season, Deck the Halls' and the red/snowflake paper is 'Imaginisce - Polar Expressions, Twinkle Toes' for the background. QK Scallop border die, MS Artic Snowflake punch and Hero Arts Sentiment and bling stones with 'Anita's' red ribbon to finish off. She was very pleased with result, I have to make her friends some now!

Am off to wrap those pressies, have a lovely evening, hope to be back to complete another challenge tommorrow. My 'ME' time is well overdue this week, so will be making up for lost time tommorrow, lol! If I had to choose, I would prob go for Olly to win X-Factor, but they are all good and deserve a break, so may the best person win! big hugs Heidi xxx

Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge # 10 - Angels & Fairies

Good evening, well I think I hold the record for the number of times a person can get wet in a day, lol! I have been out and about so much today in this horrible consistent rain, I have given up using my brolley!

I have entered this card for Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge . I knew exactly which stamp I was going to use for their 'Angels & Fairies' theme. The prize this week are some lovely flowers and pearls. This little 'Stampendous' stamp hasn't been used yet, so thought she needed an airing and is perfect for my tri-shutter card!

My card recipe : Black Bazzill and White Swiss Dot Cardstoc. Magnolia 'So Spooky - Black Dot' papers, Kuretake Snowflake punch, scallope Nestibility, sentiment from Elzybells, black bling stones from Kaisercraft and black & white ribbon from stash. My little angel is coloured in using my Copic Spica pens. I have suspended one of the little angels using some thin acetate.

As always, thanks for all of your lovely comments, have a great evening! big hugs Heidi xxx

The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge # 60 - Christmas Trees

Afternoon, another challenge card from me. This week's theme over at The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge is to include a 'Christmas Tree' on your card. I have been an eco crafter today, everything I have used is recycled or found in my stash box. It's about time I used my scraps of card and paper, I have so much, lol! My image is 'Penguin & Tree' by Gillian Roberts. Bo Bunny papers (not sure of name) and Brown Bazzill Cardstock. Sentiment is from Hero Arts, MS Artic Snowflake punch and Kaisercraft green bling stones. Yes, I know I am using these alot on my cards, but they are my favs at the moment, I will get bored of them eventually, I promise! I just love this little Penguin, may have to use him again also, lol!

Am about to burn the pizza, so had better go save it! Enjoy your evening and if your like me, you will be changing the tv remote alot tonight. Strictly/XFactor/I'm A Celeb fix for me along with a nice glass of wine and some popcorn, if the girls leave me any, lol! hugs Heidi xx
