Fab N Funky Challenge

Morning.

It's time for another challenge at Fab N Funky.

As it's the last Wednesday in the month our theme is Christmas. 

We're sponsored this week by Live and Love Crafts. Remember they have a fab closing down sale going on!

I've used a couple of Mo images which I got recently when they were just released. Aren't they cute?

Scooting Along

Morning.

The last Monday in November... have you finished your shopping yet? Nope. Have you made your Christmas cards yet?  Have you finished sharing cards you made months ago? Nope....

This is a birthday card I made for my friend for her daughter. She was getting a scooter for her birthday so I used Wryn on roller skates (but removed her skates) and cut out a silver glittery scooter on the SNC!

Grand Prix

Morning.

Seems like a good day to share this. It's the Grand Prix today in Abu Dhabi and one of my friends is there and it's her birthday today (although this isn't her card!) 

This was a card I made for Scott's pal back in September.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Got The Blues


Our sponsor this week are Live and Love Crafts who have a massive closing down sale at the moment so it's worth a shot!

I've definitely got the blues today - saw Black Stone Cherry again last night for the second time in a week. Man, they were awesome and I wish every Friday was a BSC Friday.

A Million Thank You's

Well, two! 

A couple of thank you cards that I made for Craig to give the teachers he was helping when he did his work experience back in August. 

If I'm honest I'm not hugely fussed about either of the cards but Craig liked them and as they were for a boy to give I didn't want to go over the top with embellishments.

Thanks for dropping by today.

Take A Bow

Morning. 

Take a bow. Or 12. Or however many I managed to get on this card! This was made for a friend. Who likes a bow on a card. I may have gone over the top though!!

Fancy a Trip to Ikea?

Morning.

At last, something a little more seasonal! A Christmas card. I bought this washi tape in Ikea recently and thought it would look good on a Christmas card. It was quick, it was easy. This might become one of my Christmas cards!

Monday Pondering

Morning.

The trouble with "spring cleaning" your folder of cards is that none are very seasonal! I wish I could say we were nearly done but sadly we're not. 

This is another of the work birthday cards using Digi Stamp Boutique's Harry and Beer.

Bumble Bees

Morning.

Well, really only one. One of my favourite Gorjuss Girls. I made this card ages ago when I got my ScanNCut and was experimenting. I just wanted to cut a wee frame and she seemed to fit with it!

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is very special because it's our birthday! We're 7 years old :)  so in recognition of that our theme is 

Happy Birthday!!

Our sponsor this week are Crafts and Me.

Do you ever get cards that you don't want to give away? This is one such card. It was an order for one of my bosses to give her sister but I just love it so much! (I did hand it over don't worry)

Big Wishes

Morning.

It's Friday and time for the happy Friday dance.

A birthday card today for one of the guys from work. I think if I was doing this again I'd stamp the letters on lighter card but no matter.

Move Along. Nothing to See.

Morning.

Here we are, nearly at the end of November. Well, we're over halfway through, it's a hop, skip and a jump to Christmas and not a Christmas card has been made or a Christmas present bought. I'm feeling I should maybe do something about that. Soon. Maybe.

But only after a lie down in a darkened room. Yep. It's *that* colour. This is the birthday card I made for my friend's daughter back in August.  Enough said really.

Use a Hat

So I actually have two cards to share, both of which have hats!!

The first is a girl and a hat. It's a card I made for one of my colleagues for her birthday back in May.  I won't go in to the story of the card. I'm sure you can work it out....

Morning.

This "spring cleaning" is going well. 

This is a birthday card I made back in July - was asked for a birthday card with a learner driver theme. And is so often the case, Mo Manning came to the rescue!

I Think I'm Allergic To Morning

Morning.

It's Monday again. Less than 6 weeks to go till Christmas. I should do something about shopping/making cards etc....

I thought this was an appropriate card to share today - I feel exactly the same as Little Miss A!

And Relax

Morning.

Busy (but enjoyable) day yesterday so hoping for a chance to chill today.  

Today's card is the birthday card I made for Andy. I couldn't find an image I liked and then I stumbled across this Some Odd Girl image which fitted the bill perfectly.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is this photo for inspiration! 



Our sponsors this week are Dies to Die For.

And here's my card. I had an idea for my card but this isn't it! It was thrown together the other night at 12.15am when I couldn't do what I wanted.

I've used some blue distress inks to create the backround and then stamped some water droplets. I used some glossy accents and then sprayed generously with some spray to make it look even rainier. The wellies are cut using the SNC.

Speedy

Hello

Well this must be a first. I only made this card the other day but it seemed an appropriate day to share it. I was asked to make a special card with a poppy for my friend's dad who is 80 today. 

I wasn't at all sure what I was going to do but somehow this just came together and my friend text to say how lovely and perfect it was.

Morning.

Thursday already! This week feels weird as we had crafty night on Tuesday as I have a meeting tonight so I'm all out of sync.

This is a card I made back in July for one of the guys at work who is a Partick Thistle supporter.
