Morning everyone! Hope your all well and keeping nice and warm in this cold weather!! I've another creation for four challenges today. This has taken me ages to do due to the migraine I STILL can't shake off!! Could only craft for 5 minutes at a time before having to leave it for at least an hour!! I genuinely didn't feel stressed when I saw the doc - now I do cos it's preventing me from crafting!!! It doesn't actually feel as bad right now so I'm really hoping the end is in sight - I have had it for about a week now!!
Wanted to do this for the second part of Mellie's challenge over on Charmed Craft Talk Forum. She wanted a calendar with punched or die cut shapes, bling, doodling and sewing! Had to give this some thought and due to my awful head, decided not to do a page per month! The image is stamped on a punched shape. There is some coloured bling in the top corner and though I haven't done any actual sewing, I have doodled some stitching on the papers and card!

This creation also fits the following five challenges;
Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge - Sketch
The Corrosive Challenge - Red and Green
Crafty Catz - Angels and Fairies
I've joined in all challenges for MCFC so far but I'm totally new to the other four. Being quite new to blogging, it's taking me a while to get round them. I discover new ones every week and these look fab!! The sketch was great to work with, red and green is one of my favourite colour schemes and I LOVE fairies. As I'm starting to get a bit bored with Christmas images having done most of the cards I need this year, I thought it would be fun to try and combine them all!! So, with the New Year rapidly approaching I've created a desk calendar using one of my favourite flower fairy stamps!! I've mounted the paper onto an old CD cover and borrowed this idea from my favourite sister-in-law, Jo.
I'm sorry for the picture quality, I couldn't quite get the exposure right and was faffing for ages!!
