Challenge #42 Winter Warmies

I was busy making my challenge card on Tuesday/Wednesday but have not been able to get online to post my creation. This weeks challenge over on Fantabulous Cricut was to use mittens, hat etc. I have made this card using Create a critter, Snow friends and pooh and friends. I have chalked around the edges. Sorry it's a bit short and sweet but I'm suffering from a horrid migraine at the moment and find it difficult to concentrate so hope you will excuse me this time.

Challenge #41 Snowy Delights on fantabulous Cricut

This is my card for the challenge over on Fantabulous Cricut the challenge was to create a project and incorporate snow or snowflakes.

I have used a snowflake cut out on the cricut, I have sanded in very lightly to give it a different look. The centre strip was made using my Martha Stewart punch with a bit of ribbon and a lovely bit of yarn I had. Just to finish of I added one of my little Tilda images. It was coloured using Promarkers

Jan challenge card - Cricutolics

Ok first post of the year but hope to get back into my blog, if I can muster up the energy to blog my cards.

Well we have a lovely new forum to post and chat on Cricutolics which was created by the one and only Liz, so big thank you. Kerry over on the forum has very kindly volunteered to be the challenge Mistress !!!!! and sets us a challenge each month. Why not pop on over and see what's going on we would love to have you join us, on the link above.

The challenge set this month was to use a heart and ribbon what with valentines day next month.

I made this card using my Cricut Design Studio. The heart used is from Love struck, writing is from Calligraphy collection. I have used my cuttlebug Heart folder on the background, sanded to allow them to stand out a little. Oh and not forgetting a bit of white organza ribbon.

Thanks for popping over to my blog.

Funky Hands - Tag It Challenge

Morning all it's very early here, I'm working by moonlight still. What with poorly children there is no time for Mum's to sleep, we need to tend to there ever need. Well this is a first for me although I have many of the CD's and several downloads of the Funky hands Papers I have never joined in on a challenge before.

I'm having a printer problem at the moment in which it is choosing when and when not to work. If it does it decide to print then you have no choice what colour, it's sometime clear sometimes not. For this Funky Hands Tag It challenge

I have used my Funky Christmas papers from a download I purchased over in the shop.

My new Martha Stewart punch I purchased at the NEC down the edge.

The tag was cut on the old faithful Cricut, and a little Penny Black stamp.

I have used my promarkers to colour the image.

I was having a little play and used my promarkers on the side of the ribbon on the tag, to give it a little lift and match the papers.

BBTB2 - Hello kitty Challenge

I know it's a strange hour of the day for me to be up but I have two poorly children and hubby has the bug too. It's great being a mum, when you get that little tap on the shoulder in bed " Mum I've just been sick" never mind I as get up from my pillow. OMG it's every where all over his room. That's enough you get the drift his not well. So that's why I'm up a 2.45am typing this.

This week I have felt brave enough to spread my wings and try something new. Over on BBT2 the challenge is Hello Kitty Greeting. Oh I thought I don't use this cart very often good change to have a look. My LITTLE brain was wizzing with ideas but what would do. Yeah you guessed I loaded up CDS (well it's always open really) and that where it all began. I have used Acetate and cut out the centre on the tree to hang Little Kitty like a decoration. It's a lovely cart, it has the silhouette of the tree which I cut in card.

Ohhhh out came the glitter, well it is nearly Christmas. Every card needs a bit of glitter to make it sparkle. Hope you like it, had great fun

Christmas Penguins

Well I thought I would share some of my Christmas cards I have been busy making I think there are super cute penguins. I have used my Cricut to cut a little frame (storybook) and little snowflake (Accent Essentials). The Penguins are Pergamano Vellum - Penguins, which I just felt were super cute. I needed a little Merry Christmas stamp but couldn't find one small enough. Out came the peel offs to see if I could find one small enough, I know it could have done with being smaller but that was all I had. The backing papers are some of those I have in my stroke it box, but felt I had to use them, I know it's said but you have to let go sometimes. Ohh it's soooo hard.

I made one into a little shaker but it's hard to see in the photo.
