For details on the prizes on offer and to join in the challenge pop over to the Forever Friends Challenge Blog

I have made two cards for this challenge the first is using the Fancy Fish from OPC

I've taken three photos of this as it was quite hard to get it right - seemed like a good idea to put the fish behind an accetate cover with an underwater image at the time!

My second card is a calendar card using a Forever Friends image:-

I've now got this on my desk at work!

Hope you like both of these - and come and join in the challenge at Forever Friends!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

Hello Everyone!

On the home straight now towards the Christmas Holidays - just one week to go! Everyone got all their presensts sorted?? No me neither! Better get a wriggle on.

The other half has had to work away in Wigan for the next couple of nights, so how do I keep myself occupied - wrapping presents, no chance - Crafty Corner it is! I have a couple of DT cards in the planning but I saw this image in the Teddy Bo store and just had to have it  - especially as they still have a sale on until Christmas Eve, so it was a bargain!

I made an easel card tonight:-

 

Aaahh! Bo and Bea snuggled and warm under a cosy blanket! Hope you like it.

 

Now what to do tomorrow - make a card or wrap some presents, decisions decisions!

 

Bye for now!

Think Pink!

Hurrah! At last we've reached the weekend - and would you believe I've managed to make a pink card,  I know, I don't know what happened!

I've used the Saturated Canary Jules image and used a pink and green theme - as I found a pink and green striped paper. So as I don't normally do pink what do you think???

And another miracle I've managed to use three papers as well - Karen I'm learning!!

Hope you like her

Enjoy the weekend - don't get too stressed out with Christmas Shopping!

Commissioned Christmas Card with a Pirate Theme????!!!

Hello!

I had a request from a work colleague to make him a Christmas card for his girlfriend using a pirate image! I must admit I was a bit stumped at first but with a few suggestions and tips from some Crafty Buddies I found an image from Simply Betty Stamps - Jack and used this to make the card. Here it is:-

Forever Friends Fortnightly Challenge No 51 Christmas Cards

Hi Everyone!

I'm using my last day's holiday today before Christmas so I'm spending the day in Crafty Corner. Also we had to take one of my babies to the vet today for a heart scan - Woodi is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and heart murmurs are very common in this breed. Fingers crossed she will be back on track with some medication. Will be picking her up a bit later this afternoon.

So back to Crafty Corner:-

Challange 51 begins at Forever Friends today and of course as the big day is only 2 weeks ago the theme is Christmas Cards. We have two sponsors for this challenge:-

Merry Christmas Molly

Well we've reached December! Managed to make Brent agree to buying a real tree today and have decorated it - wasn't without its drama though, bought the tree, got the decs out of the loft and then realised that the tree stand broke a couple of years ago so we had nothing to put the tree in! Sunday trading laws mean that most shops shut at 4pm ona sunday but on checking on line I found that the Range is open 11 - 5 and not 10 - 4. But I only found this out at 4.45 - luckily we are not far from the range (and with a little bit of speeding in our little Alfa Romeo!) we managed to get to the range with a few minutes to spare and hurrah we have a decorated tree in place! Only 'downside' as this took up loads of time I didn't have time to cook a roast, shame we had to have pizza instead!

Now back to the important crafty stuff!

Here is the card I made for my crafty buddy Karen and I tried to make it in her style as much as possible! I managed to use 3 patterened papers (I struggle with this quite often), plus it has flowers, ribbon and corners - just not pink or Tilda (Which are her fav's!) - Still hope you like it Karen!

Merry Christmas and keeping everything crossed for you and your family for 2013!

Hope you all like this too!

Whoopsi Daisy Christmas Angel

Hi Everyone

I've had a bit of a spend up this week! Well only cost me £5.00 so far as I had my 15 year presentation at work and got a £200 gift and also a £300 theatre break. Thought I'd better not spend all of the gift money on crafting goodies so I split the money between crafty stuff and Pandora! I also got a certificate, bottle of champers and a glass award.

I had a spend up at Oyster Stamps with Karen yesterday and bought another 4 sets of Spectrum Noir pens from Crafters Companion.

Didn't have a great deal of time toinight so I just made a quickie Christmas card using one of my new corner dies and a few of my pens.

Hope you like it..................

You never know I might get a bit more time to use my goodies over the weekend (thank goodness its Friday tomorrow!). Off to plan the theatre break!

Crafty Corner Day part 2.....

Well, it's been a lovely day (not the weather!) being in Crafty Corner. Shame I've got to go back to work tomorrow. Still I have got another day off in a couple of weeks time - could be a repeat performance!

Looks like I have Karen to blame for this one as I seem to have caught the Saturated Canary bug!

Here is Princess Honor that I've coloured today. I've kept the card quite simple as the papers are lovely and glittery on their own.

 

Hope you like her!

The best way to spend a day off.....

is being in Crafty Corner! And I must admit I did have a long lay-in this morning too - must have needed it!

Anyway, here is the first creation of the day from Crafty Corner and I've used another Saturated Canary image - this time its Butterfly Princess. I must say that Crafty Corner is now much improved now that I have a new stereo in there!

I'm off to do a little bit of shopping now, but I'll be back in Crafty Corner later this afternoon!

See you soon

Forever Friends card for Lizzie

Hello Everyone

For those of you who have entered the recent Forever Friends challenges or have had a look at the challenge blog, you will know that Lizzie our Team Leader and one of the Design Team has had to step down.

Here is the card I made for Lizzie:-

To see the rest of the Team's cards pop over to the Forever Friends Challenge Blog. We are also having a DT call if you would like to join our family that loves the Forever Friends bears.

Forever Friends Monthly Challenge No 11 - Anything Goes!

Hello Everyone!

Well the year is really whizzing past now, we've reached November already! Not long now to get as organized as possible ready for the Christmas festivities.

The new monthly challenge starts at Forever Friends today and the theme is Anything Goes (always a popular choice!) and it is sponsored by .....

The winner of the challenge will receive 7 Digistamps of their choice from Bugaboo.

For my DT card I have decided to use a Forever Friends image to make a Christmas card as I need to get a wriggle on and make some more sharpish!

Come and join in the challenge at Forever Friends and Good Luck!
