Christmas at Fab'n'Funky

Good day all,

I'm scheduling this post as always but will make it short as I'm off to bed.  

Seems I've caught a bug that's been going round ....and it's the worst time of year...so much to do!  

 Our granddaughters are in a Christmas dance performance tomorrow night

 and I really want to see them.

The new challenge starting today at Fab'n'Funky  is sponsored by

the wonderful Sassy Studios Designs

and the theme selected by our lovely Ginny is Christmas

Quite a CAS card from me today...

I've used a Memory Box die cut, backed with gold paper and left a strip of red 

underneath one of the sentiments for interest.

The reindeer is from my stash as well as the red ribbon.

I'm sorry if verification is showing up on my blog. I've been in there and my settings are
set at no but it seems blogger is having issues.....hope it's fixed soon.

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs,

Good Morning fellow crafters and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop 

This is in celebration of their reaching their 4th Birthday on December 8th.

 It will be a two week Challenge and both Design Teams are taking part.

The Hop is our way of inviting you to join in with us and this one is

 "A Special Celebration" theme, which I know is extremely popular!!!!

 available from The Paper Shelter Website. 

Each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice as well as the main prize,

 details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot.

For my card share I copic coloured the very cute Tucan that can be found here.

He has been on my to-do list for quite some time as I think he is fabulous!

DP is Graphic 45, leaves are SB Foliage, flower from my stash.

The wooden fishtail has been covered with a piece of DP, 

QuicKutz number and letter added to the top.

The turquoise paper is actually iridescent but the photo did not catch that or the

glossy accents added to the tucan's eye.  

Sentiment computer generated when the image was printed.

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #240 with Kenny K

Good morning all, I hope you're week is going well.

I'm here to tell you about the new challenge starting today at

Fab'n'Funky hosted by our lovely Wends who has chosen the theme

"Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy - Precoloured Images Only" 

which means we would like to see

coloured digi's or toppers on your creations.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is KennyK Downloads.com 

who have generously supplied us with our coloured digital images.

I've used Xmas Hottie which can be found here.

This is the first snow globe card I've made. 

 I changed the instructions up a bit but the basic is from

SplitcoastStampers and can be found here.

I don't use it very often but do love the look of acetate on a card.

The snow background was made by stamping an Impression Obsession stamp

called Spatter with versamark then adding Ranger Snowflake embossing tinsel

and heat embossing.

Spellbinder ribbon tag used underneath an

 Inkadinkado Merry Christmas stamped oval.

I would like to enter into the Kenny K's Krafty Krew Challenge #185 - 100% Anything Goes

I'll be back in a few with my second post for today.

Thanks for visiting.

hugs,

Pat K xx
