All Sorts of Christmas Challenges

What a Christams!?!?!?!?
Half the house laid up with flu, half the presents not wrapped....But hey ho, we're still here and fitting back 👌
At least we got a fully plastered wall for christmas, I can't stop singing the builderes praises enough. They gave us back Christmas.
A little bit of news...the forensics came back and the police came to take our statements again. Hopefully the driver will now come to justice.

 Now for some fun crafty stuff...

Firstly I have a christmas card to share with you...

I am entering this little card into the

• Allsorts Challenge Blog - Seasonal Flowers

 I kept it nice and simple. I loved the effect silver and white on kraft. I used Ice Grey promarker to highlight the edges of the petals and went over it with a sakura clear stardust pen (unfrtunately it didn't show in the photo). The greeting was stamped in smokey slate then overwritten with a silver pen.

Now I'm sure no one wants to sing christmas songs now BUT lets finish off the Advent calendar shall we....

" In the -- Advent window 

my calendar gave to me

(21) One glass of Bubbly

 

(22) A cute fluffy bunny

(23) A quick boot up the backside

(24) A blurry special greeting

And (25) an exploding bottle of bubbly

The minute my camera batteries are fully recharged I shall share all my little creations (DOH!)

 

Now, I said I would be giving away some candy in the New Year and I meant it. There will be 2 prize candies - One for UK/Ireland and the other Worldwide.

 The main candy post will follow in a few days time. 

To be in with a chance of winning you will have to follow my blog then leave a quick message in the comments box and of course click on the linky - Adding your Name/Nickname - UK/Ire or World.

Just to wet your appetite here is a sneak peek at one of the 2 candies

Please note; the pink cutting mat is not part of the prize.

So come back in a few days to see the main prizes and all the Linky goodness 😀

See you soon

Father day is on the way

Can you believe we are in June already? Where is this year disappearing to?
I know the long hours I've done recently (12hrs on Friday) will make the time seem to pass a bit quicker but June? I'm sure it was Easter yesterday!?!?!
Oh well, the important thing is we are all here crafting. And I have a nice little Fathers Day card to share.
I will be entering this card into:

• Cute Card Thursday - "Fathers Day"
• Allsorts Challenge Blog - "the great outdoors"
• Sweet Stampin - "Fathers Day"
•  

 I've used  the masking technique to build up the picture

I started by stamping the campfire masked it then stamped the tent. A nice simple uncluttered card.
Of course you can't go camping without having a few little friends show up

I thought for a bit of an alternative I'd do a hand written sentiment.

It's getting a little late so I shall sign off for tonight.
Happy crafting
Hugs
