Stampin' For the Weekend - Anything Goes

Hello!!

I'm pretty excited today - there are only 4 more sleeps until Christmas.  Oh and because I got some cute little wooden bird houses from the supermarket for £1.75, currently they are Christmas themed (and were half price!), but I'm going to alter them and cover them with pretty paper!

Anyway I'm here with my post for Stampin' For the Weekend.  This is our last challenge of 2013 and as everyone is super busy, we've made it an easy one:  ANYTHING GOES!!

We are sponsored for this challenge by Rick St Dennis however I've had printer problems and as I'm a last minute kind of girl I had to improvise and use an card I made a while ago, but hadn't had the chance to blog.

This card was for my lovely father-in-law for his 65th birthday!

The image is from Tiddlyinks and is called the carpenter.  The papers are from Stampin up!  It really should have had a happy birthday sentiment on it - but I made it about an hour before we were due to go out, and couldn't find the stamp I was looking for! Grrr.

Anyway I do hope you can join us for this challenge.  Don't forget to link up your creation and show us what you've been doing.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Charisma Cards - Anything Goes

Digi Galore Challenge - Anything Goes

Crafts 4 Eternity - Anything Goes

Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking - hope you have a lovely Christmas

Stampin' For the Weekend - Use something red!

Afternoon!

I'm here with my design team post for Stampin' For the Weekend.  We are sponsored again by Saturated Canary.   Although I think next year I'm going to have to get over my fear of big hair!

Our theme this fortnight is USE SOME RED.   I'm sure you'll all be able to enter something into this challenge.

Here's my card - I used Christmas Angel.

This is actually and 8 x 8 card, I made it to give to someone who has been so helpful to our WI group this year so we needed something a bit showy! Although those spellbinder frames make the air turn blue when I use them as I never seem to get a clean cut!

As my photography is so rubbish the picture just doesn't show how lovely and sparkly her wings are. Plus I finally found a use for all the embossing the power I have squirrelled away but never use.  I even covered the the brad in the centre which I think is green under all that.  

Anyway I do hope you can join in our challenge!  

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The ABC Challenge - A: Almost Christmas

Emerald Faeries - Christmas

Ladybug Crafty - Christmas / Winter

Natalie and Amy - Cute and Cuddly Christmas

Bearly Mine - Christmas Sentiment

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Stampin' For the Weekend - Feeling Festive!

Hi,

It's time for a new challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend and it's time for a Christmas Challenge.

I love love love Christmas!  I can't wait to put our Christmas tree up next weekend. We have a family ritual which includes a trip to the garden centre for everyone to pick a new ornament, followed by some cake and drink, then back home to decorate the tree.

The children pick such odd ornaments, they used to look at bit out of place with my pre-children, sophisticated all-gold colour scheme, but now I love the mix of random things on the tree, including the Christmas Sheep!  I can't wait to see what they pick this year.

Anyway our festive challenge is sponsored by the amazing:

Here's my card:

You're going to be seeing a lot of this little penguin as I think he is super cute, with a touch of glossy accents on his feet and nose!  He's from Kitty Bee Designs!  I even think he could be a she coloured up pink (obviously!)  I love all the sparky paper too, you can never have too much glitter on a Christmas card!

So come one what are you waiting for - time to start making those Christmas cards!! I can't wait to see what you all make.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sparkles Forum Challenge - Animals

Visible Image - Make it Sparkle

A little bit crafty - Sparkle and Shine

Cards Galore - Animals

Kitty Bee Designs - Mid Challenge Inspiration!

Happy Friday!

I'm here with my mid-challenge inspiration post for Kitty Bee Designs.

But first just a quick reminder that our Design Team call is still open!  You'll have the chance to play with some super cute images!!  For more information click here!

Our theme for this challenge is Fall Colours.

I made a corner book mark with this cute bear image:

I love the ruffled ribbon - so much easier than trying to make ruffles yourself!  (the Book is Inheritance by Christoper Paolini, just in case you interested - an excellent book!)

Thanks for looking - I can't wait to see what you all create!

Hugs
