This Thursday Challenge

I found this challenge - whilst surprise surprise blog hopping - yet again!!! lol. The people who run this challenge sell ribbons of all sorts, their warehouse sounds like allot of fun.

The theme of the challenge is: "this weeks challenge is called Bowdacious. so we want you to use ribbons and bows, so use the theme in any way that it inspires you."

Quadrouple Challenge..........

Here I go again!!!!!!!!! I've managed to do 4 challenges in one with this card!!!!!

Firstly the Tilda and Co challenge was a great sketch, I used my new to me image, which I love. http://magnoliachallengeblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/26-sketch-this.html

The second challenge is DCM which was to create a Christmas card. http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/

Third challenge My Time To Craft, which this weeks theme was seasons, hense the Christmas/winter theme. http://www.mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/

Finally there is the Crafting Mad challenge, to make 1 or 6 Christmas cards, I will probably make some more over the next few days. http://craftingmad.blogspot.com/

Whilst making this card I realised I have put away my existing Christmas stamps somewhere safe, I wanted to stamp a sentiment across the bottom, and heat emboss it with sparkly or glossy poeders. So as soon as I find my stash (hopefully this afternoon, I feel a mission coming on!) I will add it.

I used prismas and sansador to colour the image, and glamour dust to add sparkle to the wings, and a lovely snowflake brad I brought recently as they were a bargain at the local craft shop. :)

Another Elzybells and another double challenge!

I love my new Elzybells stamps. Can you tell?

This card has been entered into the Saturday Sketch challenge http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/2008/06/sketch-5-28th-june.html which was a sketch. I love the sketch as it was basic and easy, just how I like them!

I have also entered it into My Time To Craft blog challenge http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2008/06/challenge-20-circles.html, which has a theme of circles, the backing papers I have used are covered in circles, the one with the smaller circles on is glittered and very pretty. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder which is also covered in circles. I had to add an additional touch of sparkle, I added glamour dust to the middle of the flowers on the image, and the girls hair slide.

1st Elzybells card

I've inked up all my new Elzybells stamps and had a play, they all stamp so lovely...............

I did these cards last week, I would have put them on here sooner, however I had yet more technology problems!!!!! How can computers be soooooooo stressful and frustrating?! Never mind.

The first card was for the Stamp Something blog challenge, which was a sketch. http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/2008/06/sketch-something-challenge.html Here is what I came up with.

I surprised myself here as I did a girlie card in blue, I coloured it using water colours, I quite like it!
