Pink Christmas.....

Hi everyone,

It's Wednesday and that means time for a new challenge over at

Fab'n'Funky Challege #289

I have the honour of being the host this week and because it's the last Wednesday in the month the theme is my favourite....Christmas.  No moaning now...it's never too early to get a start on that list.

I've used a Spellbinder die that my best bud let me have a play with and cut it in a very soft pink.

Every year I make at least one pink Christmas card in memory of my dear Aunt

who's favourite colour was...you guess it, pink.

Another favourite was used on this card as well...the Marianne evergreen branch die

The top layers are dies included in the SB set that match Labels 17

Finished with rhinestones and silver strips.

Our sponsor this week is Craft Classes Online who are offering the lucky

winner a class of their choice

perfect for one of their birthdays.

Kraft at Cuties

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

We had a great time on Saturday with our lovely DIL and Granddaughter.

We all went to a Thai restaurant and ordered the tasting menu and what fun that was.

Basically you can order every item on the 4 page menu and you get a small

sample size portion of each, making the selection so much fun.

Today starts a new challenge at The Cutie Pie Challenge where the theme is "Use Kraft"

I coloured a cute digi from Robyn's Fetish, one of our sponsors this week.

The image is called "Pussy Cat Luv" available here.

We are also sponsored by the wonderful Crafty Ribbons. 

Coloured with Copics.  My first attempt at trying to colour this dapper feline a tabby.
The heart shape was cut using a SB die and the tags are from LOTV, stamped in Versamark red ink

and hand cut.  Red embroidery thread added to the ends.
I pulled the flower from my stash...something I made several years ago
with my granddaughter.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #25 
Robyns Fetish Challenge #298

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

What if.....

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year to you all! 

Today starts Challenge #230 at

The Paper Shelter

with the theme of "Punches and Dies"

I've coloured with copics one of the newer cuties in the shop called

Snug but Stylish available here.  

 I love the face on this sweet image and thought she looked like she was daydreaming,

therefore I added the sentiment from Gingers House, printed on SB Antique frame.

The stars were created using MB Flower Mound die and the

fence was made using a Martha Stewart punch. 

As always there is a wonderful prize for the winner this week, especially if

you use a TPS image.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Hope you get a chance to play

along with us this week.

hugs,
