One Stop Craft Challenge~ Kids

Hi Peeps, time for a change of theme at the One Stop Craft Challenge. This week Shelley would like to see projects for Kids, these could be cards, gifts or images of kids. I decided to make some Reindeer Food bags, my children love to sprinkle it outdoors on Christmas Eve and the best thing about making your own is that you can put anything in the bag that you think birds, small animals, reindeer will eat as I don't think they really like glitter that some of the shop bought ones sell. The poem reads

Sprinkle on the lawn at night

The moon will make it sparkle bright

When santa's reindeer fly and roam

This food will guide them to your home.

I've also been making reindeer poop, snowman poop, snowman soup and reindeer nose spares so I'll get them on my blog sometime this week, they all come with cute little verses. Pop over to the Challenge blog to see what the rest of the dt have come up with. Enjoy your weekend. x

Creative Card Crew Challenge~ Ribbons and Gems

This week at the Creative Card Crew Challenge the theme was set by Sam and she has chosen,

Ribbons and Gems

This should be an easy one as we all love our ribbons and gems don't we? especially at Christmas! So saying that I decided to get another Christmas  Card made for my stash, I've been so busy making Christmas cards for others to send I could see myself going out and buying my own lol. I have used my favorite Christmas Stamp Set from Stamping up 'Season of Joy' and the sentiment from the 'Yummy' set, then I've added my red gems to the sentiment and swirl. Hope you find time to join us this week and a big thankyou to our sponsor

The Creative Cottage

Last but not least, a huge welcome to our newest design team member Victoria, I'm a big fan of Victoria's work so its great to have her on the team, you can check out Victoria's blog here.

Simon Says Challenge~ All that Sparkles

You are a man my son.....so I will let you carve the pumpkin

This year we got the most perfect shaped pumpkin and I was so excited about carving it (yeah I know...I'm sad lol) But, my eldest son Adam was home for a week and just looked at me and said 'Can I carve it this year' as I looked into his hopeful little eye's I just wanted to shout 'Noooooooo its my Pumpkin!!! I've printed out a template and everything!' but no...how could I not let him? So I calmly handed over the precious pumpkin and watched lovingly (ok, so I sat staring at him watching his every move, giving the orders as to what knife to use and from what angle to cut lol) All of a sudden.......Nooooooo!

Ooops, 'I can fix it he says as he looks into the gaping hole, he'll just look spookier, trust me'

Not bad, not bad at all. He was sooo proud. lol

One Stop Craft Challenge~ Newspaper/Text

Ed. I have just come onto my blog and noticed that my post didn't come up on Saturday, doh, Sorry its late.

Hi everyone, time for a change of theme again at the One Stop Craft Challenge and this week Sharon set us a real challenge of using Newspaper/ Text, well I was ready to challenge myself so I decided to use newspaper and I really enjoyed it and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, what do you think? So I hope you join in with us this week, can't wait to see how many idea's people come up with. Shelley from the One Stop Card Craft online store has donated a fabulous corset stamp for one randomly picked winner. Enjoy your weekend don't forget to buy the newspapers!

I love promarkers

Hi there, I thought I'd take a little break from all the Christmas Cards I have been making, doing them in bulk at the minute and its starting to get a bit boring (haven't put them on my blog yet) Anyway, I have followed the sketch at 'I love Promarkers' for this card, found some lovely daisy type paper from 'my minds eye' and my image is from 'Bee Crafty', they have been coloured using promarkers, still haven't mastered the hair colouring yet so a bit more practise is needed.

Creative Card Crew~Snowflakes

Hi there, its time for a new challenge at the Creative Card Crew and this week Claire has chosen the theme to be Snowflakes. So as long as there are snowflakes somewhere on your creation then you can enter. I'm sorry about the terrible quality of my photo, I am going to try and take another one today if it gets any brighter over here. I have used Stampin' Up products on my card, the little snowflake stamp is from the 'Season of Joy' set, maybe if you click on the picture you can see them lol. I have used little diamond brads in the centre of the snowflakes and I have added a little snowflake charm also. I have also made some little snowflake bookmarks and came up with the idea to use them to hang my cards up with ribbon, they are quite cute, just wish you could see them lol. Well this week we are lucky to be sponsored by Simon Says Stamp , pop over to the challenge blog to see what you could win and be inspired by the fabulous design teams creations.
