Snippets card...

No full piece of card or paper was used in the making of this cards.  All the bits were from my odds and ends box which I must admit has some pretty big pieces in.
The image was the last topper on a sheet of Hunkydory images which I then mounted onto an embossed small piece of gold mirri card.  The embossing folder is a Papermania one I believe and seems to work very well with the Hunkydory images.

Even the extra bits added to the preprinted Hunkydory sentiment were peeloff bits left behind on the sheet so this week I'm really pleased to be able to join in the fun at Pixies Snippet Playground. Hopefully this year I can be a regular again.

Avoiding the Christmas rush...

This year I am determined to make Christmas cards and projects all year instead of a mad rush in December and a totally stressed out Christmas.  However due to lack of internet for a while this is actually one of the cards made in the mad rush in the run up to Christmas.  Many cards didn't even get make it to the camera never mind my blog.

Hunkydory stash is so good for large quickish cards.  I love the image on this one and the photo doesn't actually show up the stunning warm colours or the fact that is is decoupaged, but hey ho.

Challenges...

• Crafty Hazlenut's Christmas Challenge - vintage or anything goes

Have a good day all and big hugs to those going back to school today and especially to those facing a boring training day. Good luck staying awake.

New Year - New Challenge - New Modem...

Yes two weeks with no internet, but I'm over the worst now and back in action!  It was tough going though - oh how many things do we rely on the internet for and how you miss it big time when you can't get online?

Our new challenge at My Time to Craft is all about FRIENDS and FRIENDSHIP!  My team mates have done some fab stuff so do pop over there and check them out.  For my project I'm showcasing a present for a friend at the slimming group I attend.  Just something to make her smile!

I used a box frame and attached a KitKat to  the inside and then used my Silhouette machine to cut the vinyl lettering for the outside.  It gave her a good laugh when she opened her present!

So if you have a good friend who deserves a little hug and treat make something cool and join in our challenge.  We would love to see your creations.

Other challenges...

• Allsorts Challenge - What's New (ends 9th)  - I've never used a frame and vinyl before - it was great fun.  
• The ABC Challenge - Your Choice (ends 12th) - I choose vinyl to work with and making a gift.

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy New Year to you all.
