Apologies to you both for not being able to get this notice on to my blog sooner :):)

Challenges for Scrummy Stash and Caardvarks

The Scrummy stash cafe's challenge is to create a project with love in the theme.

Here is my card, I drew and cut the template myself, on which I used K & Co papers and flower. Joanna Sheen pressed flower. Added ribbons, button buckle and cameo. Greeting to finish.:) :)

Caardvarks challenge this week is BABY LOVE. This is my first time doing their challenge. Made this card for my friends baby. I used stamping, buttons, pins, frames etc from my craft box.:)

Charmed Cards and Crafts

Over at the 3C's it is the lovely Juliet's turn to set the challenges...
1. Alter a food container into something useful. Could be a coffee jar, tin, take away carton, pizza box -anything which you can recycle into something useful, but it's original purpose must have been to hold food.
Extra points for hand doodling.

2. Well it had to be a Valentines card didn't it? I know some of you have already made one, but make him another - you know he's worth it!!
The card must include the word 'love' and must have at least one heart on it.
Extra points for real stitching.
Extra points for using a bird on your card.

Here is my take on both challenges -

On the whole coffee jar I used, glass paints for the roses, alcohol inks around the jar and and lid, flowers and button on top of lid, ribbon around edge of lid, ribbon around jar and made a label - cash for stash and on the other side I used a penny and tape to say.. pennies make pounds, I used 3d tulip paint for a £ doodle.







....................................................................................
Stamped and coloured bird, cut backing paper and inserted bird, heart button with fiber through, same fiber to stitch with. Ribbon down spine of card and tag with 'with love' on.

Fat Freddies Challenge

..was to make a shaped card. I made and cut the template for MUM myself, stamped image, used downloaded papers from CB, added tag, buttons, flower, dragonflies and ribbon and inked wide gross grain. I have three pictures of this card. ......Here is mine and thanks for looking. :) :)

My very first post in blogland...

...Well here I am in the land of bloggers :)

I would like to begin with this card I had published in Quick and Crafty booklet. I was very pleased and excited to see my card in print. :)
