Creative craft challenges-Anything goes!

Oh boy, I think everyone must have had a really busy last 2 weeks as we didn't have many entries for our last challenge, so this time there are no excuses, as I'm sure Santa will be bringing many of you some crafting goodies to play with and as our challenge is anything goes you will all be able to enter, but no more than 3 projects each of course.

We, Creative craft challenges have a fab sponsor again this time Stischy bear stamps and you could win $10 to spend in their store. We have been given a couple of images to work with and the Dt have come up trumps as well as doing their own thing too, really does deserve a proper look over on the challenge blog and if you visit their sites they will give you more details about the cards they each made.

I made 2 cards with the images we were given, the first is a spare christmas card, as no matter how well I think I am organised and have sent out all my cards there always seems to be that unexpected one that you recieve, so I always like a few spares. This image is called 'bah humbug'. I really think he looks grumpy(but cute in an odd way too) as if there's too much snow or he thought he would have fewer gifts to deliver with the recession. I coloured him with promarkers and added sakura glitter highlights. The papers are a mix from my scraps stash. The card is a plate style and normally I would show you it stood on the stand but, I bought a plate stand and drew around it so I had a template and both the template and the stand are in such a safe place so I know where they are, that at this moment in time I can't find them anywhere.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-

Fairy knoll-christmas or winter

Craft your passions -christmas card

 

The second image we were given is called birthday boy and I keep thinking of all the funnty captions you could put with it, most of them sounded a little sordid, don't know what's wrong with my brain , lol , must be overworked or something, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I also thought it would make a fun new years card so now I've just got to find where I put my new year sentiments,probably in that safe place with my plate stand and template, which I still haven't found yet.

I coloured this 'oldman' with promarkers and whiter sakura pen for his hair, hat and highlights.The papers are all from my sraps box. The corners I coloured with promarkers again so they all blended as with the candy brads. These I have to say I'm a bit dissappointed in as the colours didn't work well but they are suppose to be royal blue and mustard, the rubbish daylight doesn't help either with the photo as they really aren't that dark.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-

Crafty sentiments-anything goes

Paper pretties-male card

Sarah Hurley-layout

Scrappy cats friends at Marks finest papers-colour challenge

Paper Sundaes-cut it out
Charisma-happy new year

So here is my first card I took a picture of, as the first card I made is long gone and I certainly didn't take any photos of it, in fact I can't even remember what it was like.This one I entered to moving along with the times and at that point I didn't have a blog , I later high-jacked my sons, so glad I did with all the fab bloggy friends I have made and all the wonderful inspiration too.

 I hope you can all see an improvement!

My third card is one I made for a wedding anniversary, this is quite  a simple card with some dry embossing in the corners of a yellow pearlised card , a powder embossed sentiment, layered on lace stamped and embossed paper and roses, ribbon and liquid pearl decorations.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-

CES-anything goes

Allsorts-anything goes

Hope you all have a fab christmas and get some time to do what you want not just cooking etc, unless that's what you want to do of course and most of all I hope Santa brings you something nice that you wished for. Thanks for popping by and happy holidays , merry christmas or even just happy Tuesday.

Hopefully I'll find that sentiment and that stand or template and have some crafty time too.
