Seriously, if I had a brain I’d be dangerous!

Wednesdays happen every week, same time, same day, it really isn’t that difficult, or it shouldn’t be, I was even prepared ahead of time and had a card made for this week’s Fab ‘n’ Funky challenge at the weekend.  What I should have done, should have but didn’t! Was to schedule a post, it’s not like I don’t know how to, just kept meaning to and didn’t do it.

So there I was in the shower about half an hour ago (I know, too much info!) and I suddenly realised that I hadn’t posted my card for the challenge this week.  My massive apologies to my teamies and also to all you crafters out there - I’M SO SORRY!!

Anyway, the card was ready, so here it is for challenge number 466 and it’s Christmas - YAY!!!!!!

The image was stamped from a Mulberry Wood Christmas stamp by Crafters Companion from a few years ago and coloured with Aquablend pencils, I tried to keep the background quite plain so that the image could sing (although you can’t see the sparkle that was added to the image after it was coloured.

Anyway, hope you like the card and I really look forward to seeing your Christmas makes this week.

Make one Christmas Card Every Week during 2020

Well, this facebook group returned this year, and I’m so pleased because I get a new chance to see if I can make it beyond week 5!  Which seems to be about my limit so far.

This week the optional challenge is Pink and White, which, initially I thought was going to be too tough for me, but then on one of my many wanderings on Pinterest, I came across a beautiful one layer card by a lady called Deanna, it was just beautiful! (Link Here) and I thought I might be able to use this as the basis for my card, so here it is:

It’s incredible to believe that it was created with snowflake stamps from a couple of older Sara Signature Collections (Winter Wonderland Snow Season stamps and Scandinavian Christmas Flakes & Swirls stamps), together with  a sentiment from Crafters Companion Winter Wishes stamp set and three colours of Quick Dry Ink, oh, and a few gems!

I’m so happy with this card, I’m already planning on re-creating it with different colours and card shapes, this will get me on the road to actually prepared for Christmas this year (that would be a first!).

Anyway, just had to share this one with you as I’m really pleased with it, and that doesn’t happen often either!

Fab ‘n’ Funky #464

Well, Happy New Year!  I know I’m very late with the New Year wishes, but I’ve just realised that I’ve not posted on here since the celebrations, so late as they are, Happy New Year anyway!

This weeks challenge over at Fab ‘n’ Funky is Angels, and whilst I’m taking part in the Make one Christmas Card Every Week during 2020, I thought I should at least try to make something non-Christmas, and I remembered a lovely stamp I have from Crafters Companion with the sentiment “Feathers appear when angels are near” and decided to go with this.  I also found some lovely feathers stamps and a die too! (okay, I had to spend about an hour hunting for them, but I did find them!) and this card came into being.

I love the simplicity and, it’s completely un-Christmassy!

Well, hope you have a happy “hump day” and I look forward to seeing your angel cards.
