Quirky Crafts Challenge Time

The new challenge has been launched over at Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog.
This week it is Spyder's turn to choose a theme......and it is.......
a sketch.




Working from a sketch is not something I have done very often.....but we have been provided with some lovely digistamps from Stitchy Bear Stamps to work with so that made the job quite easy. This is what I came up with...













Come on over to the challenge blog and enter this week....you never know you might be chosen as the winner of some great digistamps.

 

Speedy Recovery

A lovely man, who I have known all my life is not too well at the moment. He is no relation, but I was bought up
knowing him as "Uncle". He has had to have a heart valve replaced is is very poorly at the moment. I wanted to send him something so he will know that me and my family are thinking of him and wishing him the very best.
This is what I came up with..
I am not sure if this quite qualifies as a simple card, as I have snuck in a bit of decoupage on the flowers....but as the theme for the Less Is More challenge this week is pastels I am hoping this will count.

Good Morning Campers!

Very quick post today as I have a huge pile of nasty looking A1 technical drawings to wade through today (proper work!)
This is my desk


I am trying (again) to organize my unmounted stamps into something where I can actually see what I have, and ideally be able to find the one I want to use....a lot to ask it seems!

Here is my entry for the Less Is More Challenge this week.....it is a slight cheat (sorry Chrissie/Mandi), in that I did the designing of this for my Son to assemble it as it was for his sisters birthday this week and he wanted to do it himself...hope that still counts?
Pop across to their challenge blog and join in the fun...also pop to Julia's blog to see lots of other workdesks and generally have a nose around....it's fun!


Quirky Crafts Challenge

Evening All........well at least I hope it is is Mr Blogger is working ok!

The new challenge over at Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog should ( I hope) have been launched by now....and here is my entry.

The Theme this week is Alice In Wonderland. At first I though " great" then when I really began to think about what I wanted to create I had second thoughts......until the girls put me straight....I was overthinking it by miles and then got tied up with thinking about copyright and all that stuff. Once I took a step back and thought it through again I am back to thinking "great". SO my advice to all those who want to enter is Don't Overthink...think "in the style of Alice in Wonderland" Have fun with it...I did.
 I cut the hat shape out of A4 card freehand. Then used that to make a template to cut the back of the card so it would stand. I added a top circle for definition of the to hat top (IYKWIM), and some pink card cut to a ribbon shape. The rest of the images are all ones I found by searching online for anything that reminded me of the Mad Hatters Tea Party.
The challenge is sponsored this week by The Stamping Boutique, who very kindly offered the team some stamps to work with. I chose to use the chair digistamp....
...it reminded me of the big chair that Alice sits in at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party... I printed it out twice, once on patterned card so that I could decoupage the cushion and front chair legs. The bottle and cake were found online.


Like I said have fun with it and show us your entries here.

Hi all....very quick post today as I have heaps to get done.

Here is a shot of my desk a few minutes ago.....I am in the middle of making my entry to the Less Is More Challenge this week, the theme being Spring.



I also have to start on my design team entry for the weekend on Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog.....I think it is a tricky one this week...can't say any more, and as I haven't started it yet I can't give you a tease peek. I also have to get my daughter's birthday card done for Friday, she will be 19. I also have to start on my second unit for my Papercraft Course (details on the right). busy...busy. I was hoping to get to the Make it Show at the end of the week, but I can't see that happening now, but I guess that will give me more time to finish her card, which isn't going well at all at the moment. I keep coming back to it but it just isn't happening at the moment!

Keep well....
