Crafty Calendar September Challenge - Back To School Card

Good afternoon to all.  Hope you are all well.  A bit later posting today as I've only just got home from work.

It's the first Saturday in September, Autumn is fast approaching and we have a new monthly challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar.

The theme for this month is

'Back To School'

so you can share your altered items, covered books, good luck cards, etc.

My niece is due to start her nursery school this month and is so excited. 

For my card I have used:

Robyns Fetish Digital Stamp 'Katie Reading' coloured with copics.

The DP is from a paper pack I picked up at The Range called Deco Time.  The pack is 32 sheets 6x12 and it has lots of gorgeous glittered patterned papers.

The Dr Seuss quote stamp is from set by Kraftin Kimmie called Bookworm Trinkets.

I made the crayon border using crayon clipart images from 3am Teacher.  I tried to place the crayons in colour order to match the lines on the striped paper.  I think I nearly managed it....

We are sponsored for this challenge by:

Robyns Fetish

who is offering some fabulous digi images for one lucky winner.

Pop over to Crafty Calender and share your 'Back To School' creations and while your there check out the gorgeous DT creations.

That's all from me for now....off to watch Strictly before an early night so that I'm ready for work again tomorrow....work on a SUNDAY....no day of rest for me this week....

See you soon and thanks for stopping by

Crafty Calendar September Challenge - Anything Goes

Good afternoon to all.  I hope everyone is feeing okay today.  It's the first Saturday in September so over at Crafty Calendar so we have a new monthly challenge starting today.

The theme is month is "Anything Goes" so all creations are welcome.

For my card I have used:

 "Heloise the Garden Gal" from Robyns Fetish coloured with copics

When I looked at this image I felt that she need gingham paper to go with her, both the DP's are from a from a paper pack which was a freebie with a magaine.

The embossed circle was made by added distress inks to a glass mat, spritzing with water and then pressing down watercolour paper onto it.  Then I ran it through my cricut with an embossing folder.

Crafty Calendar BINGO Challenge Christmas Card

Good morning to all.  I hope everyone is well.  It's October so we have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar.  I know I'm a day late because the challenge went live yesterday but I've only just got back from my holiday.  I went to the Isle of Wight last week and the weather was amazing, I mean it's October and it was so warm and sunny we were in t-shirts all week, all my fleeces came back home unworn.

So even with the freakish warm weather my thoughts went to winter and have made a Christmas Card for this months challenge.

Our theme for this month is a BINGO challenge.  The Bingo board is included in this post so just pick a line from the board - horizontal, vertical or diagonal - and include the elements from that line on your creation.  Please also tell us in your post which line you've used.

For my card I have used:

Robyns Fetish image  'Paul Penguin Sleighing' coloured with copics.

DP's are some magazine freebies and so is the die that I have used to cut the snowflakes.

My bingo line - sparkle, die cuts, blue

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafting at the Weekend - Anything Goes

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Lots of Snowflakes

Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge - Layer It Up

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Embellish It

Crafty Calendar May Challenge - Sunshine and Showers Birthday Card

Good morning all.   Do you all have exciting things planned for the May Day bank holiday?  Hopefully the weather will be good so we can enjoy sometime outside.   Not sure what we're up to yet, maybe a trip to Bristol, we'll see.....

Well it's the first Saturday in the month so we have a new challenge over at

Crafty Calendar.

Our theme for this month is "SUNSHINE & SHOWERS".

It's that time of year when we're never quite sure what the weather is going to be like from day to day....hopefully May will be more sunshine than showers.

For my card I have used:

"Don't Rain On My Parade" from Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps coloured with copics.

The DP's are from a freebie I had with a magazine, the pack doesn't have a manufacturers name on but I will have to try and find out who they are by because I quite like them so I might try to get a few more...

For my card I have used:

Robyns Fetish image "Christie Angel" coloured with copics.

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Fun in the Sun

We have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar and the theme for this month is "Fun in the Sun".

I confess that I'm a day late with this posting.  I was planning on doing this post when I got back last night after having a sleepover with the Brownies in our church and a then a day out to Bristol Zoo.  Sleepover is definitely not the right name for it, with the combination of talking Brownies and uncomfortable floors I had hardly any sleep, so when I got back home last night I had just about enough energy to crawl into bed.

For our Fun in the Sun challenge we also have the optional extra of Shine & Sparkles so get using your gems, glitter, glossy accents, etc.

For my card I have used:

Robyn's Fetish image - Sunshine Smiles coloured with copics

DP's - Wild Rose Studio "Milton & Co" paper pack

For my optional extra the petals have all had Glossy Accents applied, each of the flowers on the DP has a little bit of gold Glamour Dust in the centre and I added a few gems.
