One week to go and the panic is setting in....... Our theme at CRAFT Challenge this week is one that will become very relevant after the 25th! It's Thank you ! I used a fabulous image from Spyder's Other Corner called Rely-on me Lion I loved colouring him and the cute little mouse! I used a sentiment and conversation bubble, with matching die, from Clerly Besotted - sadly they now seem to be unavailable. I used a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle to cut out the image. The papers are by Bo Bunny, I can't tell you the name because I'd already used the half of the paper with the details! I went over the stars with a clear Wink of Stells brush, and wrapped orange baker's twine from The Ribbon Girl round the background paper. Our sponsors are Spyder's Other Corner Lacy Sunshine Stamps The Cutting Cafe Go across to the Challenge blog to be inspired by my teamies' gorgeous creations! Thanks for looking! love, Mags B x

Good morning! It's a damp, grey and gloomy Thursday - perfect crafting weather! It's also time for a new CRAFT Challenge and our theme is Black and White plus ONE other Colour . Just that! Yes, it is quite Challenging!! I made a Halloween card, using Scarry Mummy from Spyder's Other Corner. The background paper is from an ancient Black and White pad by Papermania. The spiderweb and spiders are Die-namics by My Favorite Things - I don't think it's available now, unfortunately. The spiders are Glossy Accented and have red gems for eyes. My 'plus one' colour is a scary RED!!! The Mummy was lightly coloured with Copics, then cut out and mounted on a home-made wobbler. I took a small piece of quite sturdy card and cut a narrow spiral from the edge to the middle then glued one end to the card and the other to the back of the Mummy. You have to make sure the card is hidden behind the image, and not make the spiral too narrow, but it works! Our spons...

Good morning from a sunny but cold Hertfordshire! We have a new challenge at C.R.A.F.T Challenge - Not A Card I made a little recipe folder, following instructions on this youtube tutorial. The base is a very cheap file folder! This is the outside, inspired by the cute image which is Bunny Cherry Cupcake (with Carrots!) by Spyder's Other Corner. The text is die-cut with a Memory Box Classic Alphabet set . Here is the inside, showing pockets where recipes can be tucked in. Our lovely sponsors: Doctor Digi House of Stamps Spyder's Other Corner Diane's Daydream's Designs - sadly, she is closing down her shop, but go to our Challenge Blog and see the awesome prize she is offering! Put your thinking caps on and rustle up something that is Not A Card and enter our fab Challenge! Thanks for looking! love Mags B xx
