Snowman All Right?

Morning everyone!  Just a quick post.  Think I'm taking two steps forward and one back re my headache, hurts a lot again today though generally not as bad as it was.  Think it is improving but slowly, though at the docs anyway today to see if my blood pressures come down!!  Will have to see how things go and decide tomorrow if I'm gonna go back to work on Thursday!!

Anyway, I got a little card for you today, gosh it feels a while since I've done one of those LOL!  I've used one of my favourite snowman stamps.  He looks like he's been having fun in the snow!!  This card will be entered into the following challenges, and my first time for all of them;

Stamp with Fun - Xmas

Daring Christmas - White

Sketch Saturday - Sketch

I've used embossing folders and my SIL's cuttlebug - still can't decide whether to treat myself to a CB or bigshot!!  The card candy and sentiment was in my stash and used a snowflake punch - I think it was by woodware!  Colouring mediums used were copics and watercolour pencils.  The "relaxed snowman" from Hampton Arts was glittered with glamour dust and white flower soft applied for a nice snowy effect!

Thankyou for stopping by my blog.  Take care and happy crafting!

Dottie's World and Sketch Saturday

Sketch Saturday - Sketch

and

Dottie's World

The challenge over on Dottie's World this week, was set by Nicole and she wants to see the colours Red, White and Black. Of course, a Charmed download must be included! For this I've used the scruffy pup from the Charming Xmas download collection. Isn't he cute! Actually,my golden retriever Murphy, was the inspiration here, as he nicked Ethan's sandwich bag off the worktop this morning, there's NOOO way I could leave meat unattended when he's around!!

I've used my new punch I only bought yesterday and some bling I've been dying to use! Underneath the silver brad is a black punched snowflake. The pawprint is a stamp made by a local crafter I've known quite a few years and she's now set up in business with her own rubber stamp designs, - certainly one to keep an eye on!!!

"Happy Halloween-ish"

This challenge was posted on 11 October and is the third in this four week competition. As not everyone is into Halloween, this challenge allowed us to just apply Halloween colours such as orange/black/purple if we wished. The only rule being that a Charmed Download be used.

As I was preparing a crafty birthday party for Emmy (her request) and, as she wants to go Trick or Treating this year, I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to make a party gift bag!!

One Little Witch

I used one of the images from Pixie Chicks Collection1 and snipped off her wings!! The flower in her hair didn't really fit the theme so I improvised with a spider/hat using four pieces of black wool sewn to a black button. A light smattering of glitter was applied to her clothing.

RECIPE

Black Paper - my stash

Template - Papermania

Cobweb Papers - DCWV

Ribbon - Doodlebug

Orange Frilly Thing - my stash

Broomstick Stamp - Woodware

Colouring Medium - watercolour pencils and copics
