Catch the Bug Challenge

Good afternoon crafty friends.

There is a fun challenge on at the moment over at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog with wonderful Bugaboo Digi Stamp prizes to be won.  The theme is Recycle, Upcycle or use a Household Item.

Please come along and join in the fun.

Here is my contribution....

My pencil pot holder started life as a Bisto Gravy Granules pot!  I coloured the rim black with a ProMarker.  Then I added scrapbooking paper and ribbon trim.  Simples.   I finished my pot off with this sweet flower from Bugaboo digi stamps called Doodlez Flower.  I coloured this gorgeous flower in with ProMarkers and then used foam pads to attach to the pot.  You can't tell from the photo but I have added an extra coloured layer to the flower head for dimension.

A Gem of A Challenge No. 166

Good morning crafty friends.  Here's to wishing you a wonderful weekend!

There's another fantastic challenge over at A Gem of A Challenge and this fortnight the theme is DON'T BE A SQUARE (ANYTHING BUT SQUARE).

A bit of a challenge for me as I ADORE my square cards.  Here is my one...

Luckily, earlier this year, I purchased a Crealies die.  This is Die No. 6 and it was quite easy (and I say 'Quite') to use.  Took me a couple of goes to get it right but the result is lovely.  My sweet image is of course from Pink Gem Digi Stamps and is called Flapper Emma.  She is coloured in with ProMarkers and I have made my flowers from a Crafter's Companion flower die set.

Here is the lovely Prize...

2 single digi images OR 2 card topper kits

(or one of each ) No sets or Sentiment sets

A Bit More Time to Craft - Anything Goes
ABC Challenge - E is for Everything
Art By Miran - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge No. 271 Sponsored by Pink Gem Designs

Good Afternoon crafty friends.  Hope you all had a lovely Easter.  Ours was good.  We went to Legoland Discovery Centre in Manchester on Easter Sunday.  Brandon got a load of eggs and I got none (boo hoo lol).

There is another fantastic challenge starting over at Penny's Paper-Crafty and the theme this week is ANYTHING GOES.  Please come along and join in the fun.

My card....

My super cute Ted is from the Pink Gem Designs and is called Football Teddy.  He is coloured in with ProMarkers.  My papers are Doodlebug and that little button is just from my stash.  I have stamped my sentiment with a Wild Rose Studio sentiment stamp.  Sometimes I just love making cards just using papers and card and 1 tiny embellishment.  Just looks so tidy to me.
