Good morning ladies/gents
Wow what a busy week I have had, on catch up from last weekends trips, but well worth it. Would like to start by saying thank you to ABC Christmas Challenge and especially Jayne as I won her hidden half way blog hop candy, whoop whoop :)
Also before I go much further I would like to welcome Jan to my little section of blog land, thank you for your lovely comment.
I would also like to thank all of those lovely crafting people who take the time to leave a comment on my blog, I enjoy reading all your comments which are so inspiring and enjoy also hopping over to see you too.
I really enjoyed blog hopping and leaving comments on all those lovely entries into my first ever host challenge.
So today sees the beginning of the next challenge at Winter Wonderland and this weeks theme is "Punch It Out" which is hosted by my teamie Danielle. The sponsor for this week is Bunny Zoe and what a fabulous prize.
Hope you have popped to see the other DT creations there are some wonderfully inspiring work as always.
So here is my creation for this week.
So lets see, this is MME papers I believe. With an MS double loop edge punch used on the horizontal strip. Also along this strip I used a new technique picked up at the glitter stall at Stamp Magic. I placed a piece of double sided tap along and then added the glitter shaking off the excess, it makes a lovely change to a ribbon. I also punched out the flowers and also glittered them up, glittered up the brad too. Glittered all edges. Used the self embossing Nellie Die to create the round sentiment and placed this on top of a nestie circle. This is a Gillian Roberts clear stamp coloured with copics on manga board. The top double loops is the corner MS punch. I used gold to emboss the MSE sentiment. I ran my finger under all the loops to raise them for depth. So much glitter but it is such pretty glitter.
So the challenge combo is
Mojo Monday Challenge using the Square Sketch
Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge whose theme is flower power
Allsorts Challenge whose them is Embossing
Just Cute Bears Challenge - who have an open theme
A Spoonful of Sugar - whose theme is Animal Crackers
Think that is it..........
Well Mr Blogger will as usual post this for me whilst I am at work and I as always will come home from work to link to the challenges.
So welcome to the weekend and hope you all get lots of time to play especially those ladies that have been shopping at the Stamp Magic show or who have won via Mr Blogger in some way.
I will get extra time this weekend as Matt is off to a fishing match :) although he might get wet :(

Kate! paper lace punching is such a fun thing to do! I was just making some last night...and my daughter was like, 'what are you going to do with all this paper trim mommy?'
ReplyDeleteand I'll have to show her your adorable card..and she'll see the happy fun of embellishment! right!!!
i think pretty collections of plates and whatnots should be loved and used....yes, they break, but the joy it brings even while just washing my dishes by hand make it all worth the risk in my books!!!!!
thanks for coming by!
