Week 21 @ Anything Goes - Black n White

This weeks theme at Anything Goes is "Black n White". This was a tough one for me because I just didn't know what to do!!

Here is what I came up with.......



This is one of my favourite Tilda's, I just love her and I have used her on so many occasions. She is so easy to colour.

I dashed off to the Craft Den f on Saturday to look for some black and white papers and was so happy when I found these Zebra Magnolia papers. I then got home to start making my card and found that I had already bought the papers!!!! Typical of me!!!

I made my own apature card with my oval nestie and decorated the front of the card with my small retro flower punch with some scraps of pink paper. I used Tiara stickles for the centres of the flowers and added a little bit of black ribbon.



Everything I have used on my card is from the Craft Den.

I hope you like it and I can't wait to see what you come up with this week.

Love,

Week 20 @ Anything Goes - Ribbons

It's my 3rd week on the DT at Anything Goes and doesn't time fly???

It's week 20 and Ribbons is our theme!!! It's an easy one this week because we all have plenty of ribbon!!

Here is my card: -



I have used a gorgeous Tilda that I stamped at an all day Christmas workshop at the Craft Den a couple of weeks ago. I coloured her with DI, which is a technique I have recently learnt at the Craft Den. I think I am improving, slowly......

I have used the new Basic Grey Jovial papers along with a Crafworkcard new shaped card along with a new label with "Christmas Wishes" on. I love these new shaped sentiments.



I have used my ribbon to make my ribbon tree, which I first made at the Craft Den in the summer last year. I have tried to creat a little scene with the tree and Tilda putting her presents under, but unsure whether it works or not!?!

Everything I have used on my card is from the Craft Den. I hope you like it and I can't wait to see the entries this week!

Love,

Week 19 @ Anything Goes & Christmas has come early!!!

Christmas always comes early for me because I have so many cards to make that I always have to make an early start.

It's my second week on the DT for Anything Goes and I decided to get my new KARS X-mas paper pad out and use the gorgeous papers. Lynne also has the ribbon, brads and pins to match the papers and I just love them!!



I used my new Silent Night Tilda who is new in at the Craft Den and attempted colouring with DI for the second time.... don't look too close.

I also added a lovely lace doily heart that I bought a couple of months ago. I got my new EK sucess snowflake punch out again to punch another christmas border like I did for my last DT project. I love this punch and it is a must for Christmas cards and scrapbook pages. I then added red stickles to the heart and some Blonde Moments buttons in place of the flowers that usually appear on my cards. If you look closely you can see the gorgeous green star pin!!

Hope you can join us again this week.

Week 18 - "Going Roun in Circles" - MY FIRST DT XX

I was so excited when Lynne at the Craft Den asked me to join her DT. I love going to the Craft Den every week and I was really pleased. Thanks Lynne!

So here goes my first DT project for the Anything Goes Challenge.

I know it's a little early for a Christmas card; however I wanted to use my new Christmas stash from the Craft Den.

I used my new Cozy Tilda which I missed out on last year, I just love her and she is so cute. I punched the side of my card with my new EK Success snowflake punch. This is a great punch and goes through card stock. Great for edging cards.



I coloured Tilda with my copics and added Diamond Stickles to the edge of her coat and hood. I used Cranberry Blush papers which are Black Market and when I saw them at the Craft Den I knew I had to have them. I love Christmas papers in non traditional colours.

I added "round" Kars glitter brads along with my oval scalloped nestie and round craftworkcard sentiment to cover the "round" theme this week.

All products used on my card are from the Craft Den. I hope you like my first DT creation. Come and join us this week.

Love,

Christmas Workshop

I have had a great day at the Craft Den today. It was the all day Christmas workshop and I have learnt lots of different techniques. It was a really good day - thanks Lynne!

We made 4 cards, handbag and a bookmark!!

Here are some of the cards that I made using the new Craftwork Card materials Lynne has on sale. I distressed the snowflake windows with DI and added stickles and card candy in co-ordinating colours.





For this card I used the lovely papers as a feature and added a border, sentiment and card candy to embellish the card.



I really enjoyed making these cards because I always tend to use a coloured image on my cards - usually a Magnolia, but it was nice to try something different.

Hope you like them!

Love

Quick Card with my new Tilda with Thistle

I have been to the Craft Den tonight and had a great class. I missed last weeks class so I couldn't wait to go! I couldn't miss tonight because Lynne has had the delivery of the Magnolia's!! It's my birthday next week so I decided to spend some of my pennies on a few Tilda's. I bought Silent Night Tilda, Sitting Tilda with pumpkins, Hells Broth and Tilda with Thistle.

I couldn't wait to get home and play so I decided to make a very quick card with the Thistle Tilda. She is part of the Halloween Collection which I didn't know, but I love her spider web trimmed dress!

It's a very simple card which didn't take me long to complete, but I am quite pleased with it.



I used my new Memory Box Blackbird papers which are great for Halloween cards & birthdays. I coloured Tilda with my Promarkers for a change and also added stickles to the thistle and trim of dress. I used my new WOJ "Happy Fright Night" sentiment and added a bit of card candy, I haven't used them for ages so because I had made a very simple card I thought they would sproose it up a little!!

I can't wait for the weekend - 1 more day to go!!
