CACB #31

 *********

Happy New Year
to all you lovely people. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.


Time again for a new challenge over on the CACB Blog,  and the very last Challenge of 2010 is...
Same but Different

 Ann is giving away a free digi for you to use on your card/project for this challenge. 

Any colour scheme, any layout and any embellishments of choice can be used 

as long as the digi stamp is there too. 

Sooooo....pop over to Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog and 

pick up your free image and let us see lots of 

Same but Different creations

I chose to use a black card blank and  the scene is coloured with a mix of copics and watercolour pencils and spritzed it with iridescent gold glimmer mist - gives it a nice shine.
I printed the base of the egg on to gold mirri card and embossed with gold EP and fixed it over the complete image. The nestie label is polished stone.
Ribbon, feathers and peel-offs and the result is quite striking

,

You can see on the challenge blog all the gorgeous interpretations the DT have come up with using this image

Take That.....

*************
Quick make this morning - I'd forgotten I'd been asked for this and it is for tomorrow.

My DIL's sister is a massive Take That fan so her birthday card has to include a pic of these lovely lads. You might wonder why Robbie is peeking over the pic....weeeellllll, DIL said Sis was not too keen on him... sorry Robbie :-)) and that they were doing OK without him........and now she tells me she is warming to him so I have let him have a look in.

DIL and g/son are happy with it although I don't think any challenges will want it... rofl...

Truly Scrumptious.....New Baby #1

 ******************************

The last challenge for 2010 at Truly Scrumptious is challenge #47 - a sketch with the option of 'Frame it' by adding a decorative frame around the image.
Anything Goes Challenge Blog is Congratulations
By the Cute & Girly  December challenge- Children
CCC  - Anything goes

This is a commission to congratulate a couple who have just become Great Grandparents.
My bit of decoration is lace but only at the top of the image so hardly a 'frame'.

I've had this image for so long I can't say where  it is from.....matted on to gold mirri card and fixed with foam tape. I don't know the BP's either, just that the folder they are in says 'vintage baby papers and embellishments, project 299'.
Vintage seam binding ribbon from My Wedding Party, with rose.
One of Nellie's multi frames cut from gold mirri with handmade sentiment ........it took me ages to do this sentiment cos I kept changing my mind about which font to use

Thank you for stopping by and recent comments - I really appreciate each and every one.

Crafty Ann's Challenge #29

 **************************

The theme of the new challenge at Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog this time is a sketch and/or Christmas card. You can do the sketch and theme or just the sketch or just a Christmas card.

I have used Ann's new pre-coloured Holly Wreath and poinsettia  images.
The BP's are from the tartan collection 2 and the dark green from the poinsettia set. The bows are also from the pre-coloured holly wreath sheet.

I added some glitter to the edges of both BP's and also to the centres of the flowers.

The DT have  produced some wonderful samples for inspiration over on the challenge blog - pop over and have a look-see :-)

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us for this new challenge and look forward to seeing what you come up with.
