Creative Card Crew ~ Strings Attached

Sadly this is my final design team piece for the Creative Card Crew, I am moving over to my Luvostampin Blog and concentrating on being a Stampin Demo, I hope you will follow me over. This weeks theme has been chosen by Linda and is

 Strings Attached

Linda would like to see String, twine, fibre etc on your projects, the design team have come up with some gorgeous inspiration pieces for you to look at. We are sponsored this week by

Simon Says Stamp.

I altered a little notebook for my dt piece, I have used Chocolate Chip Cardstock layered with Old Olive design paper, the stamp set I've used is Pocket Silhouettes, I have added some 'On Board flowers' to the ribbon for a bookmark and embellished with some buttons from my stash theaded with string.

Thank you girls for having me on your team, each and every one of you are an inspiration and have been a delight to work with, keep in touch. x

My Last One Stop Craft Challenge Dt Project

Hi Crafters, its a very sad day for me as I'm typing my very last One Stop Craft Challenge post, sob sob. It wasn't an easy decision to make but I am leaving my dt positions to concentrate on being a Stampin'Up demo and as a few changes have been made with the new Independent Demonstrator Agreement, as far as advertising is concerned, I have decided that I will be deleting this blog next week and focussing on my other blog Luvostampin, I hope you will follow me over as its very quiet there at the moment. Before I tell you about this weeks challenge I want to thank my lovely fellow dt members for their support and inspiration, I will truely miss working with you but I plan on stalking your blogs and sending you the odd cheeky e mail lol, especially Sharon and Paula! YOU'LL NOT GET RID OF ME THAT EASY HA HA HA!

Anyway, this weeks challenge theme was chosen by ME! and the theme is...

BAGS

I can just hear you saying Bags????? I'm glad that one's leaving what sort of theme is that! Well, as it is coming up to Christmas I've been making a lot of little gifts, sweetie bags, candle's in bags etc and I thought it was a good time for you all to start getting organised, see how good I am to you? But I didn't want to be too cruel so handmade gifts, bags or even bag images will be fine. I hope you enjoy the challenge and I hope to see your little faces under my followers on my other blog.

Pop over to the challenge blog to see the other dt's fabulous projects.

I will be back on Tuesday with my final Creative Card Crew Project and post.

Missing you already girls!

My project is a little candle I have stamped using Stampin' Up's Season of Joy stamp set, there are a lot of tutorials on you tube on how to stamp on your candle so if you've never tried it before you should check them out. I have put little brads into the centre of the flowers around the candle, these just push in easily, then just popped it into a little Stampin' Up Cellophane bag, added some ribbon and a tag and voila! A lovely little gift for a teacher, neighbour, friend etc

Creative Card Crew~ Do a Doodle

Hi, its time for a theme change at the Creative Card Crew Challenge and this week it was my turn to pick so I decided I'd like to see some Doodling on your creations, you can doodle as much or as less as you like but as long as you do a little doodle somewhere lol. On my card I doodled a little track around my train image and then doodled 'Choo Choo' around the track. Pop over and see what the fabulous design team have come up with and have fun with your doodling.

This week we are so lucky to be sponsored by

Bunny Zoe Crafts

One Stop Craft Challenge~ Kids

Hi Peeps, time for a change of theme at the One Stop Craft Challenge. This week Shelley would like to see projects for Kids, these could be cards, gifts or images of kids. I decided to make some Reindeer Food bags, my children love to sprinkle it outdoors on Christmas Eve and the best thing about making your own is that you can put anything in the bag that you think birds, small animals, reindeer will eat as I don't think they really like glitter that some of the shop bought ones sell. The poem reads

Sprinkle on the lawn at night

The moon will make it sparkle bright

When santa's reindeer fly and roam

This food will guide them to your home.

I've also been making reindeer poop, snowman poop, snowman soup and reindeer nose spares so I'll get them on my blog sometime this week, they all come with cute little verses. Pop over to the Challenge blog to see what the rest of the dt have come up with. Enjoy your weekend. x

Creative Card Crew Challenge~ Ribbons and Gems

This week at the Creative Card Crew Challenge the theme was set by Sam and she has chosen,

Ribbons and Gems

This should be an easy one as we all love our ribbons and gems don't we? especially at Christmas! So saying that I decided to get another Christmas  Card made for my stash, I've been so busy making Christmas cards for others to send I could see myself going out and buying my own lol. I have used my favorite Christmas Stamp Set from Stamping up 'Season of Joy' and the sentiment from the 'Yummy' set, then I've added my red gems to the sentiment and swirl. Hope you find time to join us this week and a big thankyou to our sponsor

The Creative Cottage

Last but not least, a huge welcome to our newest design team member Victoria, I'm a big fan of Victoria's work so its great to have her on the team, you can check out Victoria's blog here.

Simon Says Challenge~ All that Sparkles

You are a man my son.....so I will let you carve the pumpkin

This year we got the most perfect shaped pumpkin and I was so excited about carving it (yeah I know...I'm sad lol) But, my eldest son Adam was home for a week and just looked at me and said 'Can I carve it this year' as I looked into his hopeful little eye's I just wanted to shout 'Noooooooo its my Pumpkin!!! I've printed out a template and everything!' but no...how could I not let him? So I calmly handed over the precious pumpkin and watched lovingly (ok, so I sat staring at him watching his every move, giving the orders as to what knife to use and from what angle to cut lol) All of a sudden.......Nooooooo!

Ooops, 'I can fix it he says as he looks into the gaping hole, he'll just look spookier, trust me'

Not bad, not bad at all. He was sooo proud. lol
