Cute Card Thursday 457 - Anything Goes

New Challenge over at Cute Card Thursday and it's a super easy anything goes Challenge for you all. So if you can manage to find a bit of time for crafting over the Festive Period we'd love to see you over there. I thought I was pretty organised - erm no I guess not. But I'm getting there.

Anyway we are being sponsored by Lemon Shortbread this week.

For my card I have used Winter Fairy from Lemon Shortbread. She is super cute don't you think. The papers are digi from Michele Roo Designs. With a diecut snowflake, a snowflake charm and a bit of ribbon and a Craftwork Cards sentiment this card came together nicely.

Cute Card Thursday 443 - Vintage

Once again another week has flown by and the theme for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge is Vintage. Hmm, I don't do vintage. Just the thought of roughing it up a bit puts me in a sweat. But hey, it's a challenge right (and only a bit of paper - yeah). So here is the end result, and I'm quite liking it. I might just have to try it again. (Did I really just say that).  We are being sponsored by Dis Digi Stamps with a $12 voucher to spend in store.
Well onto my card. I dug out an oldie stamp for this one. I have used a Leanne Ellis stamp from Sugar Nellie. You can get her in a super deal here. £9.99 for 5 stamps. What's not to love about that eh. But you can also get her on her own from here. The papers are digi from Michelerdesigns not that you can see much of them. The lace die is from Joanna Sheen and the birdcage is Tim Holtz. I decided to use some Imagination Crafts Alchemy Wax in Bronze to make it look a bit more aged. I have never used this before, but do like the result.

The Sugar Bowl 131

A bit of a late one from me. I haven't done much crafting of late, but hopefully things are gonna get back to normal. So I went simple and made a wee tag with this cute Gorjuss Girl. Yes she is the wee one, but she does come in the larger size too - here. Anyway I am going to enter her into The Sugar Bowl Challenge where they have an anything goes theme. The little bit of paper is digi from Michele Roo Designs. Spellbinders Holly diecuts and Taylored Expressions sentiment.

And while I was at it, I made another tag for the snowflake/star challenge over at All Dressed Up Facebook page. This wee Cutie comes in a set of three. The papers are again from Michele Roo Designs and the sentiment is again Taylored Expressions. The tags are dies from Whiff of Joy. They were too good to turn down in their closing down sale.

High Hopes November

Well I think that is me in Christmas mode now. Thankfully the Challenge over at High Hopes is Christmas/Winter. As I won the Challenge in September I was invited back to be Guest Designer for November. So here is my take on it. I have used this wee Cute Penguin - Penguin on ice. The papers are digi from Michele R Designs - Santa is coming. I printed the sentiment and added a doily some ribbon and Spellbinder Holly die cuts. I am also going to enter it into the ABC Challenge - U Unlimited (anything Goes).

The Sugar Bowl 127

Running late as usual, but have finished my card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge. I have used this wee cute Fairy from Sugar Nellie, but I think she has now retired. I have coloured her with Copics and added some Wink of Stella sparkly stuff to her wings. She is nice and sparky, but you can't see in the picture. The papers are from Michele Roo Designs and the sentiment is from Whimsy stamps. The snowflakes are dies from X Cut. And the doilies were just there in front of me, and was crying out to be added. So I was happy to oblige. Haha.

Mo's Snowman

Over at Mo's Facebook page we were offered this cute snowman free for 24hrs. Of course, I just had to have it. You can now buy it in the shop here. They have also got a wee challenge going to use him over there, so I guess I will enter him on Facebook too. I have followed a sketch from Sketch Saturday, so am entering it over there too. I also want to enter it into the June Challenge at Christmas cards all year round where the theme is Snowman. The papers are digi papers by Michele Roo. The sentiment is from a stamp set by Crafty Impressions. And a Whimsy diecut snowflake.

I turned the sketch upside down for my card.

And Better late than never. Haha. I am also entering this wee Guy into Mo's Challenge over on the Blog. It is an Anything goes challenge.

The Sugar Bowl #121

I went back to an older image for this card. I am so lovin Mermaid images just now. So I dug out my Sugar Nellie Under the sea stamp. The papers are from Michelle Roo designs and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I think the crab is a Joy die which I have recently bought. Kept pretty simple as per usual for me. I am entering this one into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is anything goes.

The Sugar Bowl 118

I'm now on Christmas card mode. And I couldn't resist using this All Dressed up stamp that is exclusive to Funky Kits. Isn't she adorable. I don't think she is actually a Christmas image, but think she works just fine. The papers are from Michele R Designs - Santa's coming. I've only just started using papers from Michele Roo, and boy, I'm lovin them, especially this set. Not much to say about this card really, nice and simple. The poinsettia die is Marianne design, the snowflake a punch from Hobbycraft and the dies square is Lil' inker. the othe dies are MFT. I printed the sentiment out, made up several to use on my Christmas cards. I am entering this card into the challenge over at The Sugar Bowl where the theme is anything goes.

The Sugar Bowl 117

Yay the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl is back. I did miss it, but hey, we are now back and playing along. The theme is an easy Anything Goes. So I decided that I really must get into Christmas mode. So I coloured this wee cutie Titania. The papers are from MicheleRDesigns. I have only just got myself some of these digi papers and boy do I love them. I guess they wont be the last - haha. The snowflake was a freebie die with a magazine - I think it is X cut. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I did try to stamp on purple with white ink, but it didn't work out, so I stamped on white and coloured with distress ink. I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday. A nice simple card as usual for me.
