Good Morning,

It’s that time of the week when we have new challenge over at

CRAFT Challenge.

The theme for this week is

Shaped Card


Our fabulous sponsors for this challenge are

Cutting CafĂ© & Cute‘n’ Crafty Mommy

 

For my card I had to enlist the help of my husband!

I am still in a plaster cast so am unable to physically craft.

I coloured the image digitally using Affinity Photo.

I took the image into Cricut design space to create the card shape and the mat layer.

My Cricut Maker cut it all out and then my husband glued it together for me.

The image is called Soccer Dreams

Good Evening All,

I hope you are all well. Today is the launch of a new challenge at

Through the Craft Room Door

 

Our Generous Sponsor this week is

Morgan’s Art World

 

For my DT project this week I chose..

 

Tiger

 

 I have as some of you may know broken my wrist, so physical crafting is impossible at the minute, so I have been learning how to colour images digitally. I still have a long way to go, but it does satisfy my crafty cravings and helps me to feel I am not letting my Design teams down.

 


The image was coloured in Affinity Photo.

The digital paper is from a set by Bearly Mine, sadly no longer available.

 

Take care, stay safe,

Sheryl

Cup of Cocoa

Good Morning,

It’s that time of the week when we have new challenge over at

CRAFT Challenge.

The theme for this week is

Christmas

Our generous sponsor this week is

Star Stampz

 

My card is a first for me. I had a fall two weeks ago and broke my wrist and damaged the ligaments in my ankle. This has made physical crafting impossible. So because I miss crafting and have been immobile I’ve tried my hand at digital colouring and created a design using digital papers.

It’s not perfect but I’m hoping my technique will get better.

I used Cup of Cocoa

Please hop over to the challenge blog and check out the fabulous inspiration from my fellow teamies.

  

Stay Safe

Happy Birthday CRAFT Challenge

 Good Morning All and a Very Happy 12th Birthday to us all here at CRAFT Challenge!!

 This year we are 12 years old already and still going strong. Only one team member has been present from the start, Jo. I have seen a lot of team members come and go over these 12 years, but all have been fabulous and very talented. I feel honoured to be working with such talented and lovely people. Even though my time is limited these days, I still love being part of this team.

 If you feel you would like to join our fabulous team, then just have a look at our DT Call page, which will inform you of any openings on the team. Or simply get in touch with us and let us know.

 And now it’s time for our birthday celebrations. This week our challenge is

                                                       Birthday!

 (what else could it be?)

 Anything that fits in with this subject, qualifies for entering this challenge.

 There is a maximum of 1 entry per person for this challenge and as always it needs to be recent (new) work (so created and posted after this challenge has started). Although we love to see your work, it would put those contestants that put more than 1 entry in at an unfair advantage. The same limitation exists for the prizes to be won on the blogs of our DT members.

 

Please also turn word verification off as this makes leaving a comment on your lovely creations much easier. We will not leave a comment if you have word verification switched on.

 Here is an alphabetical list of the fabulous sponsors for our Blog Hop, all loyal supporters of our challenge blog:

 

The rules this year are very simple:

 

1.     Make a project for this challenge and we will put your entry in the random draw for the prize from Sweet n Sassy.

2.     Visit the blogs of our DT and enter their Linky or their comments if no Linky is in place to be put in the random draw for the prize on their blog.

3.     As always, we will choose the Top 3 as we do every week and this week each Top 3 will win a prize too.

 

     You should have come here from  NannaConnie’s Blog   and your next stop is Sue’s Blog

 The first prize on this blog is 3 sets from

Cutting Cafe

 And

The second prize is 3 images from

Crafty Sentiments

 Here is my card using

 Using ‘Just relax’ from Crafty Sentiments

&

Using ‘Assorted Fold Cards Set 2’ from Cutting Cafe

 



 



I used just one of the card cutting files from the cutting cafe 

aand I have to say I love this style of card. I used my 

Cricut Maker to cut the card, but there are PDF

 files in the set so you can cut it out without a cutting machine.

The sentiment is part of the set too.

I printed the image twice , flipping  one of them and 

coloured them with Ink Lily Pens.

Please enter your card in the linky below to be in with a chance to win this prize or leave a link in the comment box below.
