Still no bucket of chips!

Hi All


Yet again, another overcast day on Tuesday so still no bucket of chips! Lol! Instead we enjoyed another afternoon of crafting. My lil sister and I went off to Newcastle yesterday for a shopping day-twas fun but came home to a killer of a headache! Luckily it has disappeared this morning and I'm feeling a lot brighter! Anyway, back to Tuesday and we had a go at another few challenges and I also played with some stamps that I have had for ages but not had a chance to have a proper play with them.


My first card today is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is a fabulous sketch. I really enjoyed making this card and really enjoyed using these brightly coloured papers! I have used one of my Humphrey stamps that I have had for a while now...she is sooo cute!


A little bit of a Crafter's Companion theme today...did that without realising it...and whilst we are on the subject, they have a fabulous blog hop going on till Friday...'hop' on over! You can win six new Humphrey stamps and six new SWALK stamps! Anyway, back to my next card, I have finally made a Snowman card! I have used the stamps today as we are out of ink to use the CD Rom and was really impressed with how well they stamped and can feel a huge batch of Snowman cards coming on! I have made this for the Crafter's Companion challenge which is one for the boys so I have made a male themes Christmas card. I have tried to keep it plain and have used masculine colours on the whole. I couldn't resist going a bit overboard with the card candi though and have added a bit of pale blue velvet ribbon. I would also like to enter this into the Deep Ocean challenge and The Crazy Challenge this week which is to use ribbons on your card...two new challenges for me this week!




My final card is another Humphrey card. I absolutely love this image...tis soooo sweet! I would like to enter this into the Cupcake Craft challenge as the theme this week is Shabby Sparkle. I have had a go at distressing the papers I have used and used stickles for some sparkle on the ice cream, glass and tablecloth. Really enjoyed making this card...great theme! Another new challenge for me today!






That's it again for me today. Can I just end by saying thank you to all my new followers and those that have joined in on my new challenge blog, Christmas Crafting. I really appreciate your support and hope that I can get it up and running and that you enjoy joining in!


Thanks for looking!
