A little gift...

for my daughter's new kitchen.  I bought these glass drink mats ages ago with the idea of altering them or maybe adding a photo as they are meant to be used.  This week I decided to create something very quick and easy, but also a perfect match for my daughter's very shiny black, white and silver themed kitchen.  Using black and silver snippets from my scrap box I cut the size of black card to slot in the back of the mat and then added a silver heart die cut.  Bish bash bosh as my friend Max would say job done in a very short time and my daughter was over the moon with them.

Challenges...

• Pixie's Snippets Playground - use your snippets

Enjoy your week whatever you are up to.

Christmas flowers...

Our latest challenge at My Time to Craft is flowers as the main image and focal point on your project. How easy is that?  I do hope we see loads of stunning creations.  My card is yet another Christmas creation.  I seem to be well ahead with my Christmas cards this year - very strange - it's looking like Christmas will be a breeze this time providing I remember where I have stashed the cards!
Materials...

• stepper card die to cut base card and mat and layering pieces - Press Cut 1
• designer paper from 6" by 6" magazine freebie years back
• poinsetta die (Marianne?)
• spotty frame die (Spellbinders?)
• sentiment tag die by xcut
• brads and peel off to finish

Other Challenges...

• Simon Says Stamp - anything goes 
• Crafty Hazlenut's Challenge - use some gold
• ABC Challenge - quantum leap (d- die cuts)

Have a great weekend.

Fairy Dust is settling everywhere...

but especially at Aud Sentiments as our ongoing challenge is all about using a fairy image and of course the essential sentiment.
I'm not feeling too well today so I'm going to make this post really short.  My image is Christmas Bird by Elaine Cox and is available from Sweet Pea Stamps alongside a whole website full of amazing images.  I am addicted to the stuff there.
Image matted on to doily cut out of silver vinyl on my Silhouette machine - something new and scary that I've just done for the very first time.  As you can see in the photo I've then mounted this onto black and then an embossed layer of silver mirri.
Other challenges...

• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Fantasy
• I love Promarkers - anything goes
• One Sweet Challenge - Back to school ( my new thing is using vinyl on a card)
