CRAFT Challenge 99, Flowers

2011-04-21T08:00:00.003+01:00

Hello again,

A long time since my last post, I have been really busy with school work. This week at CRAFT Challenge our challenge is 'Flowers' and as I had to make a card for one of my teachers who is getting married soon anyway, here it is. The papers are my mum and my latest creations 'Teacher's Wedding's papers'.

Hope you like the card and will join us at CRAFT Challenge.

Have a great Easter!

Tigerlover.

2010-10-28T20:27:00.000+01:00

Here is my DT card for CRAFT Challenge this week, Monotone. This although Rozzy very rightly pointed out it should have been monochrome instead, lol. So, basically, use one colour only. Hope you like my card, I have used Happy Harry and some papers from our sponsor Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More.

Hope you like it, thanks for looking. Have a great weekend!

Love,

Little Tiger.

CRAFT Challenge 70, Fancy Floral

2010-09-30T08:01:00.001+01:00

This week's challenge at CRAFT Challenge is Fancy Floral, which means we want to see something Fancy florally on your creation. Do have a look at our challenge blog, the team came up with some fab creations again.

Here is my card, hope you like it.

Our sponsor this week is Susie Sugar from Diecut Dreams Crafts, who is donating a bumper pack of 100 freshly cut flower die cuts.

CRAFT Challenge 69, Teenagers.

2010-09-23T08:05:00.000+01:00

This is my DT card for CRAFT Challenge this week, our subject is Teenagers this week and our sponsor is Toucan Scraps, who is offering a product of the winner's choice from her shop.

Hope you like my card. For this I have used some of my mum's stamps and also some misprints from Toucan Scraps' Birthday Blue range. Printer ink had run out nearly, but it seemed a waste not to use this lovely shade of pink paper. Might be quite close to the ones in her Birthday Pink range.

I made this card for one of my friends, who had her birthday on Tuesday.

Thanks for looking, do join us again and have a good weekend.

Love,

Tigerlover.

CRAFT Challenge 68, Colouring Pencils Only.

2010-09-16T08:01:00.003+01:00

Our challenge at CRAFT Challenge this week is called 'Colouring Pencils Only' and we want you to only use colouring pencils to colour your images this week. Some of the team felt rather deprived from their promarkers and other colouring pens, but they have still created gorgeous projects, so do go and have a look.

Our sponsor this week is the Crafty Pad Stamp Designs and Debbie has given us 2 lovely stamps to play around with for this challenge. She is also giving 2 stamps of the winner's choice from her shop to the winner of this week's challenge.

Here is my card for this challenge to provide you with some inspiration, I have used her 'Molly the Cat with Birdhouse' stamp for this card.

Hope you like the card and will join us at CRAFT Challenge this week.

Love,

Jo.

CRAFT Challenge 67, Colour palette Ava's Slave.

2010-09-09T07:50:00.000+01:00

Morning all,

Time for the next challenge at CRAFT Challenge this week, our last challenge with Eileen on board and what a challenge it is.

This week we are using one of Eileen aka Eiglas' lovely colour palettes. This one is named Ava's Slave and has some fabulous calm colours. She has even given us some backgrounds to work with. What a way to leave us in! We are really going to miss you Eileen, it has been fab working with you and I'm sure we'll keep in touch.

Our sponsor this week is Sew Many Digital Stamps and they are offering the winner 5 digital stamps of their choice. Most of the team have used some of their stamps and I would recommend you have a look at all the gorgeous projects the new DT members have come up with. We are very happy to have them on board and lucky as well I would think.

Here is what I made, another card done for Christmas. Hope you like it. The image is Hershey the Reindeer from our sponsor. A really cute image, that I feel is ideal for a Christmas card. The papers are from Eileen.

And here is the beautiful colour palette Ava's Slave to use this week:

For more gorgeous images, why not have a look at our sponsor's shop? They have many lovely images available.

The winner this week can choose 5 of their stamps, how lucky is that?

So, get started, happy crafting! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Love,

Little Tiger.

This card is one I have made for my little brother, who will be 8 soon. He loves doggies, so I thought these images from Smiekeltje would be great. Hope you agree.

Our sponsor this week is a new one for us, Lauretta creates some lovely digistamps and you can find her shop here. Do stop by and have a look. The lucky winner this week can choose 4 digital stamps of choice from her site. How wonderful is that?

Blogaversary Blog Hop at CRAFT Challenge, we are 1 year old, yippee!

2010-05-20T08:00:00.006+01:00

Wow! It doesn't seem like a year since C.R.A.F.T Challenge was born, a lickle, new baby blog.....aaahhhhh!...........all pink and cuddly and smelling of embossing powder.....

And here we are now, a year later, lots of followers, but still having loads and loads of fun.

So, it's our birthday and we’re celebrating in suitable style by having a fun blog-hop as well as our usual Challenge which, this week, is Birthday or Celebrations. You should have arrived here from Suzi's blog.

To give you some inspiration for the challenge, here is my card for this week:

This week I have made a card using some digistamps that had already been printed by my mum as well as some scraps of papers she had. I believe some of them are from the 'Worn Well' kit by Angela aka Toucan Scraps again, you can find this kit and many more at her shop at 3scrapateers.

The sponsors at this stop of the bloghop are the CRAFT Team and the prize are these lovely prima flowers and some ribbons/fibres.

Read on for further details on how to win.

Your prize for the Challenge this week is a lovely set of Papermania 'Henbury Lane' DesignerPapers and accessories, including beautiful adhesive gems, gorgeous blooms and a wonderful wood-mounted rubber stamp!
Now what d'you think of that! - Fabulous eh?!

We have lots of lovely individual sponsors for our Blog Hop too!
It’s going to be a lot of fun with prizes and draws at each stop and a final winner at the end, so don’t be a square—be there! -and be in with a chance to win!

Our blog-hop order is this:-

1) You start on the C.R.A.F.T Challenge blog and you visit each Design Team Member’s personal blog and leave a comment.

2) At each stop there will be a RED word associated with crafting for you to collect

3) We’re staying with our customary alphabetical list for the team so Andrea is the next stop after the C.R.A.F.T Challenge blog.
Andrea will give you the link to the nest DTM and so on.

4) At the end, we want you to get back to C.R.A.F.T and leave us a comment with the nine words you pick up! If you can make a sentence so much the better!

Just to make it clear for you to follow - here is our DT in alphabetical order.

Andrea
Claire
Eileen
Enola
Jo
Magda
Rose
Suzi
Tigerlover (that's me)

We're SO Looking forward to seeing who comes up with the correct sentence as we have a really fabulous new sponsor for that - QVC's Scrapbooking Expert, Rosemary Merry!

She is kindly having a good look through her stock at Crabapple Crafts to find something lovely for that clever crafter (who will be chosen from the corrrect answers by random generator) who gets the sentence right! Now how cool is THAT!
And that is in addition to all the prizes available at our Design Team Members' own blogs! My sponsor as said is the CRAFT Team. All you need to do is leave me a comment. The winner will be chosen randomly.

Now for some serious business:

The word you are looking for on my blog is WITH and your next and last stop is CRAFT Challenge. If you get lost along the way, just return to the CRAFT Challenge blog and pick up where you left off. Don't forget to leave a comment with your sentence made of the words collected along the way at the CRAFT Challenge blog.

2009-09-12T19:38:00.012+01:00

Dear all,

A bit late, but finally uploaded this one as well. I'm afraid I thought I had done this one already, but unfortunately I had not yet. Only just noticed.

For challenge 16 at CRAFT Challenge this week the brief is to make a card for a child with a removable item.

Tigerlover made this lovely card for a friend who is going to be 12 soon. It is to go with the previous challenge, the bag which carries the presents for her friend. Hope you like it. We certainly do.

You can see the card here, which is a springy card. For which she added a piece of handmade paper and carefully coloured and cut out the lovely stamped image. Then added a hairclip to complete the card.

Here is the card, before the clip has been added.

And here are 2 views of the hairclip.

Hope you like it.

CRAFT Challenge 15, anything but a card.

2009-09-03T09:00:00.002+01:00

Hello everyone,

I have not been on here for some time, my dad has put internet settings a bit too strict to be on blogger even, so only my mum has been able to do anything on my behalf. She has been a little too busy to get me involved with any crafting, just did her own bit for CRAFT Challenge, but none for me.

Well, here is my entry for challenge 15, anything but a card. It is a little bag to hold some small presents for one of my friends, who will soon be 12. Hope you like it.

And here are a few more pictures, one from the side and one showing it with one of the presents hanging out.

Thank you for looking, all comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

This challenge is sponsored by and the prizes available to win are LLB DVD and papers, see picture below.

CRAFT Challenge 10, colour combo limegreen and pink. DT call for CRAFT Challenge blog still open.

2009-07-23T03:00:00.002+01:00

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. It's time for challenge 10 at CRAFT Challenge already and this week we want you to create something with the colour combo limegreen and pink. Below you can find my daughter's entry as part of the DT.

Just one very important message regarding this challenge: this one is running for 2 weeks due to holiday of Claire and will therefore be running till the 6th of August, entries are due in before Wednesday the 5th of August at 8pm. You are also still able to apply for the 2 DT posts until then, just put a link to your blog or on line gallery (like trimcraft eg) in the posts and we will come to have a look.

Hubby and I took the kids, including Tigerlover, to their grandparents (my in-laws) for the coming 2 weeks. As she already managed to colour in a Magnolia stamp over the week, which she wanted me to scan, print and decoupage cut for her, we took some of the stuff with us for the weekend. Also gave me a chance to work on my card as well.

She really loved the triangle design of last week's CRAFT Challenge card, so she asked me to cut the shape out for her again in a limegreen card. She also wanted some pink tartan paper cut to fit. So, on Saturday afternoon after arriving at my in-laws she quickly put together the cut image and the card. Hope you like it, I think she's quite proud of it (rightly so I think).

As she is currently and her grandparents, she will have to miss challenge 11 and possibly 12 of CRAFT Challenge, hope you will understand.

Love,

Jo.

Challenge 9 at CRAFT Challenge, shaped card

2009-07-16T01:00:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone, here is my DT card for CRAFT Challenge 9, a shaped card. This is a card I made for my friend Emily, who loves playing football. She is a bit of a tomboy and proud of it. Hope you like it.

I used a Flippin' Kids image of a girl with a foot ball and used that on both the front and the back of the front of the card. I used a triangle shape for the base of the card, that was printed with a football background from The Lilac Garden.

I added a Happy Birthday peel off to the front of the card, added a lollie pop sticker and the 'Belle of the Ball' sentiment.

I hope Emily likes her card when she gets it this week.

Thank you all for looking and do join us again at CRAFT Challenge this week. All comments are very welcome and much appreciated.

Love,

Little Tiger.

Week 8 - Special Birthday at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge this week

2009-07-09T07:00:00.001+01:00

It's time for Week 8 - Special Birthday 13,16,18,21,40
Lets see the cards for those milestone birthdays.

Here is the card I made to give you some inspiration for this challenge. It is a card for my brother, who will be 13 in August. Hope you like it.

It was a bit of a quickie this time, my mum had already cut out some templates for the springy cards. I just added a handmade paper (fitted perfectly as both the square of the card and the square of paper were 10x10cm), a decoupaged image that my mum had already made for future use and a 'Happy Birthday' sticker. Stick it all together and the card is done.

I quite like the card and I hope my brother will as well.

Thank you for looking, all comments are very welcome and much appreciated. Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Love,

Little Tiger.

Good morning all!

Today it's already time for challenge 7 at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog. Can you believe how quickly time goes? For this week's challenge the brief is:

Decoupage - Either original decoupage, 3d decoupage, die cut or stamped images or any other interpretation, Layer it up !

And here is my card entered as my DT entry into the challenge. Hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration to join us.

It is a card I made for my friend who is celebrating her 11th birthday this weekend. She loves cats, so I thought this one would be an appropriate card for her.

The design of the card is my own, I did everything myself after my mum cut out the decoupage image.

Hope you like it. Thank you for looking, all comments very much appreciated and very welcome. And don't forget: join us at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge this week.

Love,

Little Tiger

The third C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.

2009-06-04T09:00:00.012+01:00

Hello everyone,

Here is my entry for this week's challenge at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge. I hope you will join us there.

This week's challenge is a double challenge, father's day and combo blue/brown. Before we went on holiday last week for half term, I already told my mum that I wanted to have the card shaped as a tie, and I told her also that it was my idea, so hands off! She was not allowed to use the idea for herself.

She did need to help me a little bit with the template though, I chose the blue and brown tartan backing paper myself (from the Lilac Garden). I also used a Creddy father's day image to go on the front of the tie and a bubble sentiment sticker for father's day. I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I hope you also like it. I'm fairly sure my dad will like it.

Thank you all for looking and all comments are very welcome and appreciated. Hope to see you all joining us on the challenge this week!

Love,

Little Tiger.

Birthday card for my dad.

2009-06-01T14:47:00.005+01:00

Hello everyone,

I have just made 2 cards yesterday. The first one is a birthday card for my dad, who will have his birthday on Wednesday and the second one is to be revealed on Thursday as it is my DT entry for the 3rd C.R.A.F.T. Challenge later this week.

For this card I used some backing paper I won some time ago from Jasmines cards with my Easter card. I thought it would be just right for my dad, even if he does not do a lot of DIY.

I hope you like the card. Any comments are welcome and very much appreciated. Thank you for looking and I hope you will all join us again at the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.

Love,

Little Tiger.

How can this be?

2009-04-29T21:22:00.003+01:00

How can this be, another award for me. And I am only 11 years old.

Just found out that the lovely Sam at http://yammas.blogspot.com/ has given me another award. She left me a comment on my latest card to say she had a little something on her blog for me. Wow!

I just don't know what to say, except Thank you Sam!

"This award has a few rules first of all you have to give it to a new blog that you have recently come across.Let them know they have an award ,then they must mention your blog when accepting the blog .Pass on to 15 other sites that you have just recently come across."

is what comes with this award.

I now will have to think of loads of people for the last 2, but also for this award.

I can't believe it.

Love,

Little Tiger.

Me, how?

2009-04-15T17:15:00.003+01:00

I have just found out that I have two awards for my blog.
I am really excited about having them, but now, I have to give them to 10 more people that I think should have them which is probably going to be quite hard.
Thank you to Trimgym for giving them to me. I'm really grateful that you gave them to me.

Little Tiger.

Wow, I won a prize!!!

2009-04-13T16:00:00.003+01:00

Remember my first Easter card?

Well it was the winning card in the Easter card competion at http://www.jasmines-cards.co.uk/.

My mum just received an e-mail to let us know.

I'm just sooo very excited! This is the very first card competition I have won ever!! I can't wait to see what the prize is, it's so exciting.

I guess I will soon have to start making some more cards now, nothing to stop me now!

My Easteregg creation.

2009-04-10T16:13:00.003+01:00

A great Good Friday to you all.

I just wanted to show you all the Easteregg creation I made at artclub before the Easter holidays. I really love it and hope you like it as well.

At our primary school, we have several after school clubs where we can go to, one of them is art club and I really enjoy going there.

The egg can be hung up and it has a view at the front and at the back, so it does not really matter what way you look at it, it is still very nice.

This is the view from the front and below you can see the view from the back.

I hope you all like it as much as I do. Thank you for looking, your comments are all very much appreciated.

Another Easter Card

2009-04-09T20:33:00.002+01:00

Hello again everyone! Earlier this week I made another Easter card. My mum was making some birthday cards and that made me and one of my friends want to make cards as well. I made the card down below for her and her family and I hope you all like it.

It is a card using a lovely stamped image that I carefully coloured in and then cut out and stuck to the card. After that I just added the words Happy Easter.

Thank you all for looking!

Happy Easter!

2009-03-29T20:51:00.008+01:00

Hello everyone, here is the second card uploaded to my blog. It is a card I entered for the 'design a card for Easter' competition at school. Although both my mum and myself feel that it is a brilliant card, I did not find myself in the group of winners. I hope you will like it though.

One of the rules was that it was supposed to be a Christian card and not one with Easter bunnies and eggs and the like.

If you look closely at the picture of my card, you will see that it is actually an adapted slider card.
A card where there is the rock blocking the entrance to the cave.

You will also notice a little cloud in the sky, which tells you to pull the tab.

Pulling the tab, will reveal a message and move the rock away from the cave, showing the empty cave after Jesus has risen.

This is also the message on the slider.

I do hope you like the card, it was all my own idea, and my mum only helped to resize and print the picture, develop a 'rock' and print of the resized slider system. I then put it all together (with a little help from my mum.

I thought it was real fun making this card and I am quite proud of the card.

Just a close up of the card again.

Hope you like my card, all comments are very much appreciated. Thank you for looking!

My first card on my blog.

2009-03-22T13:45:00.006Z

Good afternoon all!

You have already met my mum, Trimgym on her blog and now I have got mine as well. Today I made a card using a 'Just Teddy' stamp from the Crafty Pad, that I carefully coloured in. This card is for the daughter of a cousin of my dad, who will be 8 soon. Hope you like my card and thank you for looking! Any comments are very welcome and appreciated.

This is a view of the full card.

This is a close-up of the stamped image, I used some Le Plume pens for the teddy image and some chalks to colour the background.

Another view of the card.

And the inside of the card.

Thank you all for looking and I look forward to seeing you on here!
