Crimbo Crackers Challenge 7 - For A Child

It's time for another Crimbo Crackers challenge - up to number 7 already! I like nice and easy challenges so the theme for this fortnight is:

For A Child

Any type of project can be entered as long as your creation is Christmas or Festive related.

I'm sponsored by the very wonderful Jellypark and Claire is offering the challenge winner two digi's of their choice - thank you so much Claire!

I've used a rather Cute Christmas Fairy image that is not available in the store but you can snag it for free if you are a member of the Jellypark group on The Crafters Cafe! She's been coloured with Promarkers and glitter glue.

Papers are Echo Park - All I Want For Christmas and it uses up scraps from previous projects. The ribbon is recycled - it was around some card blanks that I've had for ages.

Good luck with the challenge - for more details please see Crimbo Crackers!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge: A is for Anything Goes
Flutterby Wednesday: Open Challenge
Celebrate the Occasion: Polka Dots
Clear It Out: Cold Outside and Use Up Your Scraps
Sassy Cheryl: Bright and Breezy To Chase The Winter Grey Away!

Treat Bags and BIG Funky Hand Sale!

Do you like these little cute treat bags?! I've made them both from one sheet of A4 card and from a fab template downloaded though the Hybrid challenge that is taking part on The Crafters Cafe over the Christmas holidays! I'm hoping to be able to participate in all the challenges that are going on plus the games too!

There are a set of little treat bags and various templates that can be downloaded to use for the Hybrid challenge and the bags are courtesy of Wendybird Designs.

I found a sheet of A4 card in my stash that I'd printed ages ago - its from Funky Hand but the collection it is from (Boys and Girls) is no longer available as it was a one off special for a charity crafting cd.

However, there IS a fab 50% off sale at Funky Hand for the next few days! You get 50% off all Funky Hand branded products - loads of cds and downloads to go at!! And free shipping (minimum spend of £10) worldwide - its a sale not to be missed!!

I've rounded the corners on the treat bags, doodled a line around the edges and cut out the aperture and added some acetate. I've not been able to source any little delights to put inside as my two darlings have virtually eaten everything they got chocolate based!

The ribbon is from my stash and now that I've spent time organising all my ribbons into big grip seal bags by colour - I can see what I have and can get what I want without rooting through the big tub every time!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Make It Monday - Anything Goes
Ooh La La Creations: Anything But A Card
Just Add Ink: Fancy Packaging

• Papers: Boys and Girls collection from Funky Hand (retired)
• Template: Wendybird Designs
• Everything else: My stash

As I said, Jellypark is sponsoring one of the challenges which just happens to be:

Give Thanks

And here is the cute image from Jellypark that I've used!! You can also see the rest of the Designs Team samples by going to The Crafters Cafe Group.

I've used Cosmo Cricket papers from the Early Bird digi paper collection, some doodling and inking plus the Jellypark image which has been coloured with Promarkers. I've used a heart punch to create the scalloped edge of the centre panel, plus string from the kitchen drawer.

The flowers have been made using a Cuttlebug flower die and made from felt - little tag is a Sizzix die and I've written it myself (rather pleased with the handwriting for a change!)

Hope you can join in with the fun!
