Three Cards of Non-Traditional Colours

A Spoonful of Sugar want us to use Non-traditional colours this week so I have a bronze and ice blue card......

..........an orange and chocolate card.......

.................and a pink and lime card.........

...so take yer pick!! LOL!

The bronze and ice-blue card has a Magenta stamped image which I matted onto bronze stardream card.

The chocolate orange card has an image of Santa which I think is an Anita's stamp and on a further stardream card in champagne.

The pink and lime card is mainly Bazzil and Sizzix!

Thanks for looking!

Snowman Kiss

Challenge 20 over on Incy Wincy has a green & red theme and just by coincidence I have indeed made a card with a....red and green theme! How good is that?

I would say they suit each other!
Well, back to the cutting mat.....!

Blue Sparkle Santa

Sophisticats 13 have a fab challenge this week requiring 'Snowflakes & Sparkle' which I have on this card. I've also used this week's sketch from Sketch & Stash and think they suit each other really well!

Sketch & Stash also want a little info on the stash used!

The background paper was a freebie about two or three years ago in Scrapbook Inspirations and I've never got around to using it!

The glitter card is from DCWV and is having it's first airing this Christmas alhtough I've had it well over twelve months - same goes for the blue peel-off greeting. That was in a bundle from C&C a good three years ago - how can you tell I don't use peel-offs very often!!

Hope you like it!

It's Prizegiving Day at C.R.A.F.T !!

Here's a copy of the e-mail I sent to Claire, the boss over at C.R.A.F.T this evening!

Hi Claire!

I've done the mammoth task of going through every entrant and comm for the last two weeks and visited every blog and tested every link!
It was a very difficult and carefully thought out decision but all in all I think Doreen made me laugh the most - the woman's crackers! So she's first place for my digis.
However, it was not a straight-forward decision and I AM a Libran, so I also want to give Craft-Princess some digis !!
Jacqueline (Jack-in-the-box) definitely deserves the Candy for managing to follow and link despite not having a blog! LOL!
I have an extra two awards, however.
I have a set of photopolymer stamps for the lovely Neon Rainbow for her delightful meanderings and an extra-special award for Rozzy, for being the only entrant to actually do everything I asked exactly correctly, including technique suggestion, a logo and linking! LOL! She was the exception that I managed not to confuse!

I enjoyed, totally, visiting everyone's blogs (...and I did visit them all despite not leaving comms on all of them due to lack of time...) and consider myself privileged to be in the midst of so much talent! I wish I had more candy to give! Perhaps some more digi's later on.....!

So, If I could have everyone's addresses, cyber and terrestrial, I'll pack up all the little prizes!
If it makes life easier, you can just copy and paste this e-mail into the blog!
Hugs,
Ei

PS I just got my new PC today and I haven't even put it up yet because I was doing my duty first! LOL!

...so we have our winners!

Congratulations one and all!

I've already despatched the digis to the peeps I have e-mail addresses for and am just awaiting address details for the rest.

Hope you all enjoy your booty and I look forward to seeing your creations!

Hugs,

C.R.A.F.T 28 DT - Happy Christmas Birthday

This week over at C.R.A.F.T, the theme is 'A Christmas Birthday'.

My cousin's birthday is on Christmas Day and it's always driven her mad that everything is Christmas themed and many times peeps have said 'I just got you the one big pressie...' when it's not been any posher than a normal present!

But I couldn't just use a plain birthday card for this demo card - that's not the brief! I hope my cousin forgives me.....!

Plain white cardstock scored, folded and added to to make my usual 21cm square card. Papermania's Home for Christmas range provided the backing paperand the rest of the stuff from stash.

It's a Mo Manning image and is coloured in Copics then mounted on lipstick red pearlescent paper and then onto green Astralux. The green nat I created by using a Nestie to draw around to make a mat bigger than the Nesties available.

The flowers are cheap spray from Wilko and the branch punchies are from Martha Stewart.

Hope you like it!

Hugs,

Winter Twins

For my 'Making Cards For Christmas' thread over on Trimcraft, last week's winner Cardmaker has chosen a theme of traditional 'red, green and gold plus some flowers' for her theme this week.

Every week the winner receives one of my digistamps as a prize and this week the prize is 'Winter Boy' which is the boy in this image below. In this image he's seen with his twin sister and they've been having fun with a sled!

It's a very simple composition using a text background from DCWV (...I think...!) and flowers & ribbon from stash.

The image is coloured with Copics - of course!

Hope you like it!

Hugs,
