Christmas - Two Challenges

I'm still trying to get my Christmas cards done so it's great to find a couple of challenges with the theme 'Christmas', 'Everybody Art Challenge' and 'Papertake Weekly'. Here's my little 'Gorguss Girl' with the addition of a santa hat and my new 'forest scene' stamp in the background, the sentiment is a Penny Black stamp. This is amazingly organised for me with my Christmas cards, I'm normally scribbling them out at the last minute! Bye for now,

Whiff of Joy Challenge 56

Here's my card for this week's Whiff of Joy Challenge. I made it a few days ago but I've been busy and the light hasn't been too good for taking photos when I've had the chance. I loved this sketch and I needed to start making my Christmas cards so I thought this would be a good time to start. I've added a tree and some snow to the background to give it a more festive feel! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Bye for now, Michele x

Papertake weekly challenge - Spots 'n' Stripes

Here's another one of my Halloween cards for the Papertake Weekly Challenge. The kids and I are going to be making little ghosts and witches today and Halloween cakes so we'll definitely be getting into the 'spirit' of things!

Halloween - Penny Black Challenge

Hello Everyone,

It's been a very long time since I posted anything as I've been busy working on the Stamp Addicts Design Team assignments. Check out the Purple Zone to see my work and the other Design Team member's cards. Anyway, I was delighted to participate in this week's Penny Black Challenge as I love making Halloween cards. I really like the bright vibrant colours you can use. The Penny Black Design Team cards look great. I have only got one PB Halloween Stamp which isn't very big and not really a main feature for a card. So I thought I would adapt one of my other PB stamps to make it fit the bill! I chose this little mouse and drew a hat on it and added a few other little Halloween stamps by Daisy and Dandelion to complete the look. Here's my card... I am looking forward to spending the rest of this afternoon making some more Halloween cards for my family and checking out the other PB challenge cards. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend. Bye for now, Michele x

Penny Black Challenge - Blue & Tan

Hi Folks,

I love this colour combination for this week's Penny Black Challenge. I am being moaned at to get off the computer as my son and his cousins are desperate to get back to club penguin! So here's my entry...

Hello Everyone,

Back so soon! I coloured in an image yesterday and thought, 'What challenge can I use this for'? Then I remembered Crafty Lou's lovely blog lists a few of the challenges on her site. There I found 'Cutie Sunday' and I liked the sketch. So Here's my entry

Penny Black Challenge - Summer

Hi Everyone,

This is my first challenge for ages. The summer theme has worked out just great for me. My nephew has asked me to make him a thank you card for his friends parents for taking him on holiday with them. So here it is for this weeks Penny Black Challenge. Also a big thank you to Victoria for my award and your nice comment. Plus congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous little boy.
