Crafty Catz Challenge 11th October

 Hello again from Perthshire

It's cold.  Really cold and I don't like it!!  I hope the temperature is milder wherever you are.

I was bad again this week, I forgot to load my card up for the challenge.  I've done it now though, but I'm really late

So, this week, we are sponsored by 

All dressed up

PRIZE 2 IMAGES OF WINNERS CHOICE

Here is my card using Piggy Back

It is a super cute image and I love the wee teddy getting a piggyback!

Now, it is over to you once again.  Make your card and upload it to

Crafty Catz Challenge 27th September 2024

 Hello again1

I'm back with another challenge from CraftyCatz  This time, there is no sponsor and it is just for fun.  The theme, however, is to use a stencil.

I have just sorted out my stencils and quickly picked one by Clarity Cards.  As it is Autumn, I used Autumn colours and added a man fighting to keep his umbrella under control, and a wee bird, watching him!!!

I used Distress Oxide Inks in the following colours - Ripe Persimmon, Bundled Sage, Shabby Shutters and Fossilized Amber

Very simple card, which looks darker in the photo than it is in real life, and I will add an appropriate sentiment when the time comes to use it.

Please join us over at Crafty Catz weekly challenge.blogspot.com/ 

I'm going now, but I'll be back soon!!

I'm Back!

 

hello once again!!  Crafty Catz are back after their summer break; this time, the theme is Anything goes.

We are sponsored by Dr Digi, 

The prize, should you win, is 2 images from their shop.

This image is called Perfect Sunday

They both look really happy don't they?

Now, it is over to you once more.  Why don't you make a card for this challenge?  You could win 2 images remember!! 

I'll see you in a couple of weeks with another challenge.

Take care until then, and Happy Crafting!!

Make it Cute

The image I have used is called Flower Puppies and I love it!!!!

I even took it into my Craft Group to show them!!!!!

Hello once again, from a cold corner in Perthshire.   Oh I wish the winter was away!!  I hate this cold weather.  I love seeing the snowdrops and daffodils all popping up in the garden, promising that spring is on the way.

This week, in Crafty Catz Challenges, we are sponsored by

http://beccysplace.com/

Becky has a real mixture of digital stamps.  Some are really amusing and others are beautiful, like the one I chose, and used on my card.

The theme this fortnight is to use more than one fold.  I made an Easel card, which has 2 folds!!

Why Don't you go to look at  beautiful array of stamps at Becky's Place? 

 

                Why Don't you go to look at the beautiful array of stamps at Becky's Place?  I'm                                                 sure you will see something you like!

                                I'll be back soon, when, hopefully, it will be warmer!!

Craftycatz Challenge February 9th 2024

Hello again from a sunny but cold Perthshire.  I wish the winter was over, I hate the cold.  

All the bulbs are coming through in the garden though, so Spring is on the way. 

This week, in Crafty Catz Blog world, we are sponsored by 

SheepSkiDesigns

The card I am using is called Valentine and I think it is super.  I have used it as a Valentine's card, but I can see myself using it for other things too.

I will be giving this card to my husband of 22 years. 

 We don't really do presents,  but we do swap cards.

Have you got a card for your nearest and dearest yet?  This digital download would be wonderful, don't you think?  I think the rest of the design team has made some wonderful cards too.  It is worth looking at the blog to see them

CraftyCatz Challenge January 2024

 It's time for another challenge over at Crafty Catz 

We are sponsored once more by 

Doctor Digii.com

I have said it before, and I'll say it again, I love Dr Digi!!!!!!  This image is brilliant, and it reminds me of my dog going to the groomer.  She always is a mess and her coat is full of all sorts of stuff!!    

Crafty Catz Challenges 12th January 2024

 Hello once again and 

Happy New Year!!  I am so glad to get back to normal though, aren't you? 

 I hate it when I don't know what day it is!

There will be a wee change at Crafty Catz Challenges  Instead of weekly, it will now be fortnightly.  The same rules apply, theme is always Anything Goes, with an extra option as well.

So, onto the first challenge of 2024  Sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps

The theme is No Design Paper

The stamp I have used is called Loves to Bake

I used my Promarkers for the first time in ages, and I'm not very happy with my colouring.  I will need to use my pens more often than my pencils!!  The colour of the photograph is a bit strange too, so I'm not sure what is going on!!

So, it is over to you.  Get your card made and put it on
