Are you hanging up your stockings yet?

Morning girls
Thanks for popping in.  I did have my post all typed and ready to go when Mr Blogger threw a wobbly on me and I lost the lot so now your getting the shortened version:)
Friday means it's time for a new challenge on Totally Papercrafts where our theme this week is

HOLIDAYS
Our sponsor is Karen's Doodles and the lucky winner gets to choose three images.


I decided to go with Christmas.  Well, why not take the chance to get another one into me box eh?
I've taken CAS to the extreme with this one.  Baubles were cut on my cricut and a load of glitter added to the bows.  I then cut three two inch circles, sized the little stockings to fit and once they'd been coloured with my copics I cut them out and pop dotted them in place.  A multitude of flock and glitter was then added to their tops.  Job done!!
So, that's my effort for this week girls, do pop over to the challenge blog for loads more inspiration from my lovely teamies:)
challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - no patterned papers
Paperplay - Christmas in August
Do It With Digi's - Christmas in August
Simon Says Stamp - Christmas in August
Crafty Catz - Christmas
Moving Along With the Times - don't be square

Thanks for popping in

need for speed

Evening girls
I'd a little play this afternoon and managed a wee card for a couple of challenges.  Seems like forever 
since I made something just because.......................


The image is Kenny K, coloured with copics and a little diamond glaze on the car headlights.  The papers are part of a scrapbook kit from Summer Driggs.  I opened them with my graphics programme and added the flashes (is that what you call them?) before printing them out.    It worked quite well I think since the same sort of design is on the car anyway.  Brads are ancient and from me stash.
challenges:- 
Kenny K - add metal
Cards for Men - clean and simple
Craft your Passion - anything goes
Papertake Weekly -  anything goes

Thanks for stopping by

save the environment

Morning girls
Happy Monday:)  Did you all have a sooper dooper weekend, enjoy plenty R&Rand have a few cold ones?
We've had smashing weather here all week, just for a change.  It's usually persisting itr down here in Glasgow so it's been lovely to have a few days spent outside.
Anyway it's time for a new challenge over on Karen's Doodles and this week our theme is

RECYCLE IT


I decided to make a tag for a change, it's a bit on the big side to use though lol
I recycled the blue card from some packaging and the button from me Mum's box.  She has loads of them, I think some of them were probably me Grans there that old.  
I've used one of the newer images Cannonball, isn't it fab!  I coloured with copics as usual, waves and sun were cut on my cricut and the sentiment was pc generated.  A couple of ribbons from me stash finished it off.

challenges:
Craft 4 Eternity - anything but a card
Sew Many Cards - anything goes
Stamp Something - summer fun
Crafts and Me - ribbon
Really Reasonable Ribbon - sizzling summer
