London 2012 and beyond!

Morning all,

Now that the Olympics are but a distant memory there is a consensus of opinion that says we must continue to encourage sport for all. So over at CRAFT challenge this week we are asking you to create a project

using the theme of  Sport.

Our fantastic sponsors this week are

Wags n' Whiskers      Crimson Cloud     

 Trimgym's digital stamps

My card was made for my nephew who loves all kinds of sport.

I used the Wags n Whiskers stamp Go for Goal

The fab papers are free from here
The sentiment is a Little Claire sentiment stamp that I bought last year and have never inked up!
The wooden letters were a present from my best friend ages ago.
The tiny buttons were from Gregory Knopp
The cricket button was one I got at the NEC last year.

I wouldlike to enter this into the following challenges

Good morning peeps,

I hope you are all well, today over at INCY WINCY designs we have a brand new challenge

Bears, Bears, Bears

Our sponsor this week is .......

My card this week is made using Barry Countdown to Christmas

Isn't he a cutie? - just reminds me of the nightmare every year when we get out the Christmas lights and discover that they don't work. Maybe my husband is not quite so cute when this happens!

The papers are by Anges Biro and are from a collection called Winter Kraft and you can get them here

The wooden snow flakes were a present from my best friend - thanks Lynn.

The sentiment is a lily of the valley stamp.

The tree button were from Gregory Knopp

Hello all,

Make Your Own Embellishments

We have three fabulous sponsors

A colleague at school lost her father recently at a fairly young age.

The frame is made using two Marianne Creatables dies - Anya Large Ovals and a frame thaat came with two swirl dies.

The swirls are made using a doo hickey swirl, 

The roses are made from another Marianne die- and I am really pleased with the way they turned out.

Color Recipe: Golden Brown, Mustard & Navy

This week there are two fantastic sponsors

Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps and Scrappers Delights

This was a real challenge for me as these are colours I don't normally work with, but it gave me the opportunity to use a scrappers delights image I had  some time ago and haven't used ( hanging head in shame)

The flowers were made using die cuts from Marianne Creatables.

The papers are from a Raspberry Road set called Pumpkin Hollow

The image is coloured with Promarkers.

Have fun with this challenge and stop by the DT blogs to see their awesome inspirational projects.
