Let's Go Starlights.....LET'S GO!!!!

Morning everyone!  I've another couple of cards today. The first one is the lovely Charmed Digi Download,  Dress Up Dottie cheerleader. I'm very chuffed this morning as I've just discovered I'm the winner of the £10.00 voucher following last weeks challenge on Dottie's World - so that'll be me tonight drooling over their shopping site and wanting EVERYTHING!!!  LOL!  This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Dottie's World - You're a Star

Quixotic Challenges -  Seeing Stars

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Let it Shine

The Corrosive Challenge Blog - Sketch

I've gone around the edges of each piece of card with a silver paint Uni paint pen I bought from Hobbycraft.  Glamour dust has been applied to the pom poms, part of her dress and the tip of her socks!!

Bling stars - stash (had them ages)

I've chosen the colours of the local cheerleading squad that Emily's a member of and the cheerleader bow I made myself.  You would have thought I'd be sick of 'em by now - first one I've made in minature though LOL!  This card will be donated to the squad along with a larger stash as they try to raise money for sprung flooring - every little helps!!

Thanks for stopping by my little blog here in cyber space.  Take care and happy crafting!

One More Christmas Card

Afternoon everyone. I've succumbed to making another Christmas card!  In my defence I have used an adorable Penny Black stamp.  I don't have any decent Christmas flowers then I remembered my new flower corner stamp from the lovely Linda at local company, Oak House Studios.  Its really gorgeous and makes a refreshing change as it reminds me of the Christmas Rose!  I'm entering this into various challenges including Pollycraft.  I had intended to enter Pollycraft challenges with their own images but unfortunately I lost the lost recently when my computer hard drive crashed and died!!  Apparently you don't need their images to enter so this is my first one until I get my stash of their digis built up again!!  The various challenges are:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Sketch

Creative Inspirations - Christmas Card and Tag Set

Pollycraft - Christmas

Corrosive Challenge Blog - Red and Green

The main Penny Black image has been cut out and stuck down using 3D glue.  The corner flower stamp has been decoupages and the flowers glittered.

I'm really pleased with how this one turned out, hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by me blog.

Fairy Desk Calendar

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

Cupcake Craft Challenges - Red and Green

Incy Wincy Designs - 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!!

Stamp - Inca, 3026P The Zinnia Fairy

Emmy took pity on me because of my headache so she cut all the papers for me and helped stick everything down.  She loves this image so am going to donate it to her - she wants to use it to mark off when her pocket moneys due LOL!  

Thankyou for stopping by.  Please feel free to leave me a comment so I know you dropped in.  I'm currently not blog hopping much due to my head but when it lifts, I'll be back on form and will pop by your blog in return.  Hello to my friends on the forums - I'll see you all soon!!

Take care everyone and happy crafting!
