witch's brew

Hello there! It's been a while since I've been here. Just been very busy with work and stuff! This week at Crafts 4 Eternity we have a halloween theme, so join us with your spooky projects!

Here is my piece:

I just dug into my box of halloween papers for this, so have used a mixture of Basic Grey, October Afternoon and Moxxie.

Love these papers.

bingo babe

WOW! Can't quite believe that it is Friday already and time for another recipe challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity where you can WIN six summer bingo digi stamps this week and even download a FREE bingo card to use in your project!

The sketch.


Coffee and cream colours.

A bingo card.


I am also entering this into the following challenges:

• 'something digital': Stamp Something. Michele created a digi bingo card which we used on our creations this week.
  
• 'monochromatic': One Stop Craft Challenge.
• 'sun, beach, ocean': Cutie Sunday.

I used patterned papers from the Bo Bunny ~ Spice collection and printed the Bingo card onto the lighter one.

The printed vintage beach babe is cut from Graphic 45 ~ Under the Boardwalk papers.

I tip my hat to you

This is the card that I made for my Dad for his birthday.

The sketch: The Sweet Stop.

Other challenges:

'male card': Cute Card Thursday, Stampin' for the Weekend.

'birthday': Stamp Something.

'use a hole punch': Creative Belli.

Papers: My Mind's Eye ~ Natural and old range which I've had forever!

The holes were made with a Fiskars border punch.

A bit of ric rac ribbon, some machine stitching, Prima flowers and that's it! Although of course it took ages to do!

I can't seem to make the photo larger and I've given up trying! Too tired.

Thank you for looking.

going my way?

Challenges:

'In the frame': My Time to Craft.

'Vintage with flowers': Simon Says Challenge.

'Ribbon': Cute Card Thursday.

'O is for One paper': ABC Challenge.

Papers: K&Co ~ Blue Awning. I absolutely love these papers! I have a whole pad of them and don't use them anywhere near enough, but when I do, it is a real pleasure.

I took a strip of pre-cut border (bought before there was such a thing as border punches!), added a strip of ribbon and a swirl of lacy ribbon on top and stapled them all together.

The flower is a Bo Bunny fabric flower, layered with a Prima paper flower and a We R Memory Keepers snap centre.

Image & sentiment: Kraftin' Kimmie ~ Genevieve, coloured with copics.

The acetate frame around the image is also from the K&Co ~ Blue Awning collection.

I'm actually quite pleased with this as everything that I've used apart from the image and sentiment has been in my stash forever. Does that mean I can justify buying some of the new CHA releases ... something I have so far managed to hold back on?!

Thank you for looking.

cherish ... U

Not a lot of crafting going on this week, but sheltering from yesterday's storms, I fled to my safe harbour (my craft room ... lol) and produced this! Still loving the new Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, so went for one of those rather than dirtying my new Christmas Magnolia's, WOJ's, SN's & SK's!! Yes, I know, Christmas is fast approaching and I seem to have acquired quite a collection of Christmas stamps. I really should 'get around to it', but for now....

The sketch: Stamp Something.

Other challenges:

New/neglected stash: Creative Inspirations. I used a new stamp and old papers.

Stitching: Quixotic Challenges. I have machine stitching.

Patterned paper: Theme Thursday.

Circles: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I have a circle in my brad!

                         

Papers & chipboard 'U': Prima ~ Steel Toe Mary Jane Collection.

Cherish sticker: Making Memories.

Brad: Basic Grey.

Flowers: from stash.

Image: Kraftin' Kimmie ~ Clara. Coloured with copics.

I always show my finished pieces to my other half. His comment to this one was: why the U? I'm hoping therefore that my crafting pals 'get it'. Kind of defeats the object if you have to explain it! LOL!

Thank you for looking.

pesky frog

I didn't know what else to call this post. As much as I love frogs ... and I do ... if I had one balanced on my head, I would think him pesky!

I'm just loving these new stamps put out by Kraftin' Kimmie and couldn't wait to get one inked up.

This entry is for four challenges.

The sketch: Everybody-Art Challenge.

Other challenges:

Stitching: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp Challenges of course!

Distressed: Lots To Do Challenge.

Be inspired by the photo: Our Creative Corner. I took my inspiration from the colours.

As usual, click on photos for a better view.

Papers: Crate Paper ~ Crush Collection: Island, Coral and Sand.

I have distressed, inked, embossed and machine stitched.

Punch: EK Success ~ binding edge.

Image: Kraftin' Kimmie ~ Lillith. Coloured with copics and then covered with Crackle Accents.

Thinking of all those who lost their lives for us, on this Remembrance Sunday.

Thank you for looking.
