Penny Black Christmas

Evening peeps, hope everyone is safe and well tonight after the horrendous weather in the UK today.   I was caught up in the storm this morning trying to get to Perth,  took me about 4 hours instead of the usual 40 minutes journey.  Was dirverted as there was two fallen trees and an overturned lorry but safe and snug back in the house now.

This hedgie image is from Penny Black.  Designer paper is a freebie from a craft magazine, card is from stash.  I embossed the corrugated card and then distressed inked it.  Ribbon, sentiment diecut, card candi and charm are from craft stash.  Tool used are  a snowflake embossing folder and square Nesties.  The challenges covered are:-

• Penny's Paper-crafty challenge - Bingo (ribbon, diecut, card candi)
• Oldie but a goodie challenge - use ribbon or lace
• Top Tip Tuesday - Use Kraft card

Run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run

Evening peeps, apologises for not being on recently, my neck and shoulders are playing up again so it is hard to get in the mood to create.  I had made this card at the weekend for my Auntie, she had kindly knitted and donated some bunny rabbits and a scarecrow to The Brionni Trust for us to sell on our stall.  The cute wee bunnies she had done gave me the inspiration for this card, so I dug out my Sugar Nellies stamps and hunted for this image.  The backing paper is a freebie from a magazine.  The picket fence is a diecut from Marieanne Creatables (there is a different story .... lol..). Tools used are my oval scalloped Nesties and Swiss dots embossing folder.  The challenges covered are:-

• The Sugar Bowl - Anything Goes
• Sketch Saturday - sketch
• Top Tip Tuesday - Initals (K- Kraft, P- pink, H- hare ...lol .. Ok, bunny - worth a try!)

It's a Jungle out there

Morning peeps!  Hope you are all having a great weekend.  Typical - I'm on holiday from work for a week  now and I'm full of the sniffles with this darn cold... lol...

The cheeky monkeys are clear stamps from Hero's and the zebra & big leaf  is a Stickeroo from Penny Black.  The backing paper is from a Forever Friends paperpack.  Tools used are my Circle & Rectangular Nesties and Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The challenges covered are:-

Top Tip Tuesday  -  It's all about Circles

Crafts 4 Eternity  -  Crazy Circles

Totally Gorjuss  -  Leaf it in!

P.S. - My top tip is when cutting out my images, especially when there is small tricky bits, is to use nail scissors as they have a curved blade which I find helps.

Clean & Simple Stock Cards

Back again, this time with a sample from a batch of cards I had done for stock from The Brionni Trust as we have a stall coming up at The Scribblers Picnic, Stirling on the 17th June and panic has started to set in.  I have used the same layout on all of them with different images and colours on each.  

Ideal for this has been Stickeroos from Penny Black.  I also used for quickness (is that such a word?) has been sticky ribbon.  Please don't scrutinise my faux stitching too closely as there are one or two dodgy bits! ....lol.. To help jazz-up the plain card I have used my Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The challenges covered are:-

• Cupcake Craft Challenges  -  No DP Birthday
• Top Tip Tuesday  -  Clean & Simple
• Emma's Crafty Challenge  -  Monochrome
