No patterned papers challenge at Fab'n'Funky Challenges this week

Good Morning all

How the weeks are flying by - we have suddenly arrived at the first Wednesday in October - how did that happen!

Todays challenge over at Fab'n'Funky is themed

No Patterned papers

I have to admit that I don't find these kind of challenges easy!  I don't have a lot of embossing folders and I don't really like plain.  I'm on a bit of a Christmas thing at the minute (aren't we all when we panic and count the weeks to Christmas - then panic again!) and I have got a few Christmas embossing folders so decided that would work best for me.

 our sponsor this week is Stamp Fairy I used a digi from their winter collection called Molly Winter 2  I used my favourite blue and white colour combo - I just love this combination for Christmas cards

This is what I did...

Vintage and Shabby Chic at MAWTT challenge

Good Morning blog friends

This is my third day in a row - might just go for four tomorrow!

Its challenge day over at Moving Along With The Times challenge blog

This week's Challenge theme was chosen by our lovely Sue and is ….

'SHABBY CHIC and/or VINTAGE'

So we want to see creations that are either Shabby Chic or have a Vintage Image/theme or both!  It doesn't have to be a card - as long as you follow the theme.

I've gone for the vintage look and used a lovely 1920s style lady stamp from Kanban called Cavendish Ladies.  This is a stamp I've had for absolutely ages but have never used - I've no idea why because I bought them because I really liked them (there's another 2 in the set -also unused!) and I was really pleased with how it turned out, it was a change to make a DL size card instead of square- that's probably why I haven't used the stamp before!. The image is mounted up with a few layers of card but I've used very few embellishments - even the art deco corner stamps came with the set.  

We are sponsored this week by the fab Crafty Emma's Store

who are very kindly giving the Winner of this week's challenge  a £10.00 Voucher to spend in-store (excluding P & P)  

This is what I did....

Stamp - Kanban Cavendish ladies

Coloured with - Copics and Prismacolor pencils

Paper - Marianne designs (songbook I think)

Distress ink - Tim Holtz Tea Dye

Tag - cut with Sizzix tag die

Resin rose - a free gift from My Crafty Heart

Bow and sparklies - from my stash

Challenges I'm entering with this card

Scrapbook sisters - anything goes

Purple Frog - lets get distressed

365 cards - Filler'er up

Its challenge day at My time to Craft

Hi Blog friends

Today is challenge day at My Time to Craft and the theme for this fortnight is

Make an Easel Card

I'm not big on easel cards and haven't made one for ages but I did enjoy making this card and I might just do it again soon. I think the only thing about easel cards is that not everyone (as in non crafters!) knows what to do with them. 

I made this card for my daughters birthday - her birthday is actually today - Happy birthday Alison.  Not that she'll be reading this because she's gone to Centre Parks in the Lake District for the week with her husband and little baby son, to celebrate her birthday (today) her husbands birthday (also today) and their wedding anniversary (also today) !!! 

I got some new papers through the week and just love them.  As soon as I saw this one - its sunkiss from prima - I knew what I was going to do with this card, isn't it great when that happens - certainly gets the mojo going

a close up of the detail

the base of the card

This is what I did

Papers - Sunkiss by prima
Stamp - Pretty bouquet by Lili of the Valley
Coloured with - Copics and Prismacolor pencils
Scalloped card - craftwork cards
Flowers by Prima and Wild Orchid crafts
Charm - a little complementary charm I got in a lovely little bag from My crafty heart  - ah thanks
Sentiment -  with Paintbox poppets from Crafters Companion
Diecut (behind sentiment) spellbinders
Ribbon - Carnmeal Cottage
pearls from my stash

So let's see you over at My Time to Craft with your easel cards and go on over and have a look at the other DT girls cards - we really have got some stunning cards this week
