Sketch Saturday

I promised myself i would give this ago a long time ago so this week i went for it and da da here is my interpretation

Rudolf day yet again

These seem to come around faster and faster This month the extra was ribbons but theres also a competition closing today for one with ribbon and a die cut on the winner gets an extra 5 points So these are my entries

Rudolf day again

Required element for extra points this month is Glitter I left it til last minute but i managed 11 cards all with glitter

For those of us who belong to SSCC at Auntys forum tomorrow is Rudolph Day; we try to make a few christmas cards each month so that by December we are hopefully not chasing our tails so badly Each month there is a different them and if our cards meet the requirement we earn points ; this month was trees so heres my contribution

summer holidays at last

Over the last week whilst dabbling at making teachers pressies I also hit upon the idea of could i make envelopes into something similar to a paper bag album (me who has never done scrapbooking or paper bag albums come to that though i did partipate in a CJ once) well this is the result though its not for a teacher but for my mum who last year discovered my nana had a few old photos we didn't know existed and borrowed them and took copies

I decided this might qualify me to enter the challenge over at http://thisthursday.wordpress.com/ where the challenge is all change so here goes

Successful Day all told

Even with boys on school holidays i have managed to do some crafts inparticular transferring a stamped image to a candle which also fits in with my target this month as a member of Auntys Forum Design Team to do some altered art Also as part of Auntys forum we have teams and this month we have been set the challenge of projects involving silhouettes i have done a few cards so far and today i managed a couple more

over a Month

Can't believe its over a month since i last blogged - seem so tied up with family and in particular hospital appointments i don't seem to have the time I have been busy crafting though My Dads birthday for starters His shed is the bug of my poor mums life she would love to sort it but daren't so this card was just begging to be made

isn't she cute

Returning from holiday we popped into see Sally and family who run http://www.auntysforum.com/forum/index.php?action=forum Sally kindly let me have a couple of maggie stamp rejects that so this afternoon i played and this is the result isn't she cute If you want more details see here http://auntysforum.com/auntysstore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=43&zenid=69749c7afa5767c380be7f80fdc75b8d

oops

oops because i didn't realise i had left it so long Between family hassles and runnibf DS2 to hospital and back over his dratted feet i just don't seem to have enough hours in the day to do what i want But as we approach the end of the month i made myself some me time today and completed my projects for the month as i am on Aunty's design team and needed to upload my finished results Heres a peek at what i achieved

Silly Saturday

Well a friend is getting married but to keep costs down wants to make her own invites however is picking my brains She has never made a card before let alone 50 invites so i am trying to keep ideas simple The stipulation is blue and gold - difficult in itself cos thats a warm and a cold colour so should it be on a white or a cream card Anyhow i have played around with these colours but used my own image as they want to put their photograph on but thats not ready yet so heres my interpretation for them to play around with

Half term nearly over - Yay

Well even with the boys home i have managed some crafting an entry for the Arty Girlz challenge http://www.artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/ was an oriental card in pale green and pink in fact as you can see i've made quite a few this week
