MTTC DT - New Baby

Good Morning! 

A super cute challenge over at MTTC this week... New Baby! 

Gave me chance to print off my baby meople digis.. 

Typical baby boy card.. lots of blue and cuteness. The backing paper is chevrons and the white is embossed with a swiss dots embossing folder. Circles are die-cut and the image has been cut out too.

The image I've used is from the Meoples range from C.C Designs but you can longer get them is digi format :(

A super cute and easy challenge, we do hope you'll join in! 

My Time To Craft DT - Two or more people

Morning! 

I hope you are all dry and warm where you are. I must admit, I'd rather have the snow than the rain. I hate rain with a passion! 

Anyhoo's, this weeks challenge over at MTTC is 

"Use an image with 2 or more people"

I had an idea for this straight away. Was like a lightbulb being switched on. 

Now, I have to confess, I didn't make my Boy a christmas card, so making him a Valentines one instead. Although I'm not really into valentines to be honest, but anyway.... I've thought out the box a little with this. 

 The digi images are from C.C Designs and they are the meoples. The sentiment was part of the set as well. Now, the girl is coloured to look like me, although I have short hair, and the boy to look like the other half! hehehe... And don't be fooled by the grey hair.. his 36 LOL 

  

Because it's for the Boy, I wanted to do a CAS card. The sketch I've used from Crafting When We Can as I loved it that much! The digi's have been coloured in using promarkers and copics and spectrum noirs. I clearly couldn't decide what to use! also tried to use our football colours, his Manchester United and I'm Aston Villa, so red for United and claret & blue for Villa. 

Looking forward to see what you come up with! 

Enjoy! 

My Time To Craft DT - All About The Love

Good Morning! 

A "lovely" challenge over at My Time To Craft this week. Yep, you guessed it, it's "all about the love" and getting ready for Valentine's Day. Now, I must admit, I don't really do Valentine's Day but I have made this card in mind to give to someone. Whether or not that happens is another thing! 

So, here's what I've come up with...

Full Card

Thought I'd go with someat a bit different and non traditional and used lime green! Obviously I had to use a heart on it somewhere and what better image to use than the little Meople lass from C.C Designs. I do love these little dudes. A little sentiment, also part of the set. A bit of twine n a button. I don't like putting too many embellishments on cards for men. Think that's just enough tho. 

Image and sentiment

Dimension

Suppose I best do the inside just incase I do decide to give it to it's intended recepient. 

Please do pop by and play along.

Tags!

You know when you first print an image out, you colour it and then you think 

"Wow! These are tiny!! what am I gonna use these for?!" 

Well I did that! But, I had seen the idea of tags on another blog and thought I'd give them a go. 

I was admit, once I had started, they didn't seem as daunting as I thought! 

Tags!

I made 6 tags altogether and used the Meoples "No Peeking" digi images from C.C Designs. 

They can be found HERE. The sentiments were printed off the PC. The tags themselves are embossed and I've used die cut snowflakes.

Elf, Soldier & Tree

Reindeer, Gingerbread Man & Santa

 I am entering these into the following challenges:

1. Fab 'n' Funky - Anything Goes

2. Cute Card Thursday - Anything but a Card!

Thanks for popping by...

JOY

My first christmas card of the year... WOW! 

By the time end of November comes, I'm fed up with them, lol. 

The image on this is super cute, it's from the Meoples range at C.C Designs.

So, a little less traditional with the colours as well, (I for one don't like pink!) but I know the intended recipient will love it. 

Full Card

The "JOY" and the bobble hat have been cut from the backing paper and the blue card used for the matt and layering. Perfect for the Crafty Catz Challenge of Paper Piecing. A bit of twine plus a nice big double snowflake to finish it off.
