A Simple 'Hello'

It's Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls

and Hosting is Carol and chose Plaid. 

I'm thinking you all expected me to get out

my tartan paper!  Surprise! Surprise!

I decided to try and find some 'plaid paper'

After much searching I found some. 

I started by cutting a peek a boo die for my

plaid background. DP is from Rosie's,

embossed with geometric folder.

Added a die cut from my stash and

others from the same dp pack,

with some white thread to the back of the dies.

Sentiment is cut from an old CB die

and a cotton bow attached.

Of course I had to add splatters to finish.

Pop over and see what our Guests Chrissie and Stef created

and my Talented Team Mates of course.

AND haven't we had an amazing month

with Chrissie and Stef sharing their talents with us!

A HUGE Thank You to you both. 

Loved having you join us this month.

 Looking forward to seeing our Gallery this week!

 Sistah Diane has chosen

CAS Winter for our New Challenge at

The Sisterhood of Crafters

A  pretty CAS card with the theme of a Winter Scene.

Brayered the background lightly with white acrylic paint

and stenciled some snow.

Added some birch tree die cuts

and a few red birds.

Framed my sentiment in the same colour

and attached to white card base.

Reminder Post for Christmas Craft Creations

It's Reminder Time for our January Challenge at

 Christmas Craft Creations

As I was working on my Launch card for our

Stencil Theme I decided to make a tag

featuring the same Holiday Knit Stencil from Tim

using white texture paste.

Die cut my favourite deer dye from CUTplorations,

adding some extra colour with Lindy's Magical's

and Art Alchemy Wax for effect.

Used the same tree die as my earlier card,

heat embossing with Stampendous 

chunky white embossing enamel

and blue glitter while wet.

Mounted the deer on top of  hessian (burlap)

Waxed the outside edges, crinkled the coloured ribbon

and added twine. Finshed with the Merry Sentiment.

You still have time to enter this month's challenge.

Hope to see yours over in Our Gallery.

Thanks for popping in.

Merry & Bright Christmas

 It's time for our New Challenge over at

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge

It's Anything Goes and easy to go with

whatever Christmas creations takes your fancy.

I love using kraft on Christmas cards.

I die cut an arch and covered it in snowflakes

to surround my little wintery scene.

Added the Merry and Bright sentiment 

finishing by adhering to kraft card base.

Sorry the bright is a little hard to see.

Head over and see what the Team created

and hope to see yours in our Gallery.

Thanks for visiting.
