Hobbycutz Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Hobbycutz

This week our theme is

All Tied Up

Our sponsor this week is Kenny K who kindly gave the DT some images to play with.

I've used Bow for my card and I've cropped her! I love that you can change digi images like this, it's so much fun. As I come to write my blog post I realise that there's something missing from my card... the theme is all tied up  so perhaps I should have put some ribbon on the card BUT.. she's wearing a ribbon and I've tried to make the Hobbycutz flowers look like a bow. Don't say anything though I don't think anyone will notice ;)

This is our last challenge until 12th January so you've got some time to enter!

Dream Valley Challenges

Afternoon all.

Please scroll down for my Hobbycutz challenge card.

It's time for a new challenge at Dream Valley Challenges

This fortnight our theme is

Autumn

Our sponsor this fortnight is The Paper Shelter.

I've gone for something a little different today - I was browsing on Pinterest the other day and found this Autumnal quote so I thought it would be good to use it on a card. I've simply used the French Foliage Stampin' Up set to stamp some leaves using distress inks and used this fab branch from Hobbycutz as an embellishment.

If In Doubt, Google It!

Morning all and a warm welcome to my new bloggy friends. Good to have you aboard.

Today I'm sharing another Mother's day card with you. This was the second of the two that my friend asked me to make - this one was for her mother in law.   My brief (for both cards) was non pink and non girly but pretty and for this card, some words! 

I resorted to Google to find an appropriate verse and came up with the one that I've used here. I can't even remember where I got it from so can't give credit for it.

I used the lasercut swirl from Hobbycutz that Kobie sent me for the Sweet Stampin' challenge a few weeks ago so I decided to go for a similar look to the card (the only trouble is I forgot the leaves on the card this time!)

I'd also like to tell you there's a new challenge over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'  and this time our theme is 

No Red or Green

It's my turn this time to be providing the mid month inspiration for this challenge so you'll see my card for this challenge in a couple of weeks. Pop over to the blog to see what the rest of the Christmas Sweeties have been up to.

Thanks for dropping by today.  Enjoy your Wednesday.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all.  This is my first post of the day - check back later for my One Stop Craft Challenges Card.

We've got a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this week our theme is

Mother's Day/Special Lady

We're sponsored this week by a former Sweetie Kobie who has started her own business at Hobbycutz producing wooden laser cut items. Kobie kindly supplied the DT with some things to use on our creations this week. Our monthly sponsor is The Ribbon Girl who are offering a £10 voucher to the monthly winner.

So here is my card. And for the second time this week I have been traumatised by a card. I really didn't know what to do and got myself in a terrible state about the theme. Not having a Mum anymore I don't make Mother's Day cards and it's coming up to Mum's birthday so this isn't really a good time of year for me!

Anyhow, thanks to some fabby crafty pals - Cathy, Lorraine and Cass I managed to knuckle down and produce a card. Thank you girls, love ya!

Cass is the only one who has seen it irl and assures me it's stunning so that'll do for me.
