Merry Christmas.....

.....at Cards for Men.  That's the theme this time so I hope we'll see lots of entries.  The prize is 3 digi images from Scribbled Kidz, which some of you may know is close to my heart.  Here's my DT card which uses Dear Santa.  I've coloured it using my promarkers.  The designer paper is from my stash and is a Basic Grey design.  The backing card is from Stampin Up, the ribbon form my stash and the sentiment a magazine freebie.

Why not pop over to the main challenge post and see what the rest of the team came up with.

A little Birdie told me .....

...that there's a new challenge over at Digi Galore.  Here's my DT project which was quite a challenge for me as I don't do altered items much.  There's a picture at the end of my starting point.  I definitely made a change, lol.  The challenge is sponsored by Birdie Brown who have some wonderful images over on their etsy shop.  Please pop over to the main challenge to see my teamies makes and to get full details of the prize and rules.



Here's what I started with:

Anything Goes over at Cards for Men

My post should have been up yesterday but I am just meeting myself coming backwards at the moment.  So please accept my apologies for my lateness.  Here's my card for the current Cards for Men challenge:

The prize up for grabs is a £10 voucher from My Mum's Craft Shop which is a great shop and online site.  Please pop over to the main post for full details and also to see what the rest of the team came up with.

Trick or Treat!

I managed to get some crafting time this afternoon whilst hubby was watching football.  I made these goody bags for my three boys for halloween.  The images and sentiment are a free set from Scribbled Kidz which will be available until Wednesday.  The photo is not so great but the haziness maybe adds to the spooky idea.  The images have been coloured with promarkers and the backing papers are from Stampin Up.

A Card for my Niece

I've made this card for my Niece whose birthday it is tomorrow.  I think I'm safe posting tonight because I don't think she follows my blog :)

The cupcake in the middle is a decoupage set from Craft UK and they really do well for last minute cards.  It's actually an easel card but I couldn't get a good photo of it in the time I had so I just got the front.  The spotty paper was from some freebies that came with a magazine.  Hopefully, she'll like it.
