A card for a friend.

Morning all,

I just made a card for a very good friend of mine, who has been off sick for a little while with the dreaded flu. Fortunately she's back at school again now and I just wanted to let her know I'm glad she's back. Hope you like the card I made her.

CRAFT Challenge 21, a recipe

Hello everyone,

It's time for CRAFT Challenge 21. This week we have a recipe for you. The recipe is to use 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and 3 papers.

As our sponsor this week is Willow Designs Stamps we have used some of her lovely Christmas stamps for our cards this week. I have used her 'Dear Santa' stamp. I thought this one was really cute. Hope you like it too.

I have been playing with some of my Mum's new nestibilities.

The background papers I used are freebies from Funky Fairies. I used a springy card for this one.





Hope you like it. Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to see your take on this challenge!

CRAFT Challenge16, card for a child with removable item.

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.

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

CRAFT Challenge 15, anything but a card.

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.

Love,

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

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.

Some very special Blog candy at Claire (HopeJaCare)

Hello everyone,

Just had to tell you all about some very special blog candy that Claire has on offer on her blog. It is very special blog candy indeed. Some of you may know that she designs some really lovely girls images and as her blog candy she is offering one of these girls to the winner. You can see an example of them below. But that is not all!! She will design one especially for the winner to their specifications. Is that something, or what?

So, if you fancy winning this very special blog candy then pop along to her blog, the link can be found above.

Challenge 9 at CRAFT Challenge, shaped card

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

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
