Simon Says Stamp and Show


Over at Simon Says Stamp and show the challenge this week is Show Us Your Grunge
I had a few ideas in my head but went to craft class today and we were playing with the ultra thick embossing powder and i just fell in love with it- I knew there was something missing from my crafting life and this is it
made a collage and then using the embossing powder about four times on it and what a sheen from it- then used the red powder on the swirl and then stamped in gold before it cooled down and I was super impressed with the results so I came home with a tub of the clear and the bronze so be prepared to be to see at lot more of this in the future
Have a few order to do so going to play tomorrow with it- guess what I'll be dreaming about tonight!

Penny Black Challenge


This is the sketch at Penny Black this week and for some reason I have went into Christmas overdrive having stamped and coloured and mounted a whole load of Chrismtas images so I thought I should them up


The papers I have used are Funky Hand and the image is of course Penny Black
Bit of a wet miserable day here but that suits me being wholed up in the back room crafting- but thanks goodness I cut the grass yesterday cause it certainly wouldn't be getting done today
Bud is now in here moaning- seems to want his dinner earlier and earlier these days so I suppose I better go and feed them or her will just stare and cry until I do... laters

Pollycraft


The challenge this week at Pollycrafts is cute and cuddly so I used Bridget Thanks image for my card
Can't remember where the papers came from had them that long- found them in the museum but think they might be Anna Griffen
Managed to get the grass cut today in between the showers so that was a good job done leaving me plenty of crafting time for tomorrow and got the rest of my holiday washing done and the car hoovered out- it's amazing how sand gets everywhere
Off now to get some DT work done and then that should just leave a couple of cards for tomorrow that I have to do for people at work

Two Occasions

Anice at Funky Hand has just released a Christmas wordbook with funky little alphabets too which co ordinates with the All I Want for Christmas download and this is a quick word book I made up


The next card is for the Haunted Desing House Macabre Monday challenge which this week is Horrific Haunts, don't know if you can see too well from the photos but the house is suspended with a bit of acetate




So that's a card made for Christmas and Halloween only about a thousand more to go!!!
