FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL

 

Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "For Someone Special".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 

Floral Romance Paper Pad

32 sheets

4 x 8 designs

I have used my second favourite reindeer die to make my card, keeping it simple, and as this is for the hubster, I've added a little heart!

I finally got back to work this week, still not 100% but I'm getting there!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

The latest health news....got my test results on Sunday, thankfully negative but I'm only just starting to feel human again. The flu I'v had knocked me for six. Hopefully, I will be well enough to return to work next week. Fingers crossed.

TARTAN TREE

 

Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Use some plaid, checked or gingham paper".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 

Docrafts Papermania
Pocket full of posies

Hanging tag and Sentiment

I have used the last bit of my favourite paper (this was a pack from Lidl) to make my card. I do love a bit of tartan! Added a little sentiment Christmas tree and a few flat-backed pearls to finish off.

I've had a bit of a week! Started feeling poorly on Tuesday, by Wednesday I couldn't get out of bed. Bad cough and bit of a temperature so decided to get tested for Covid-19. The test is just gross, and I'm just sat waiting for results to come through. Anxious!!

Anyway, I'm feeling a little bit better than I was so it's not all bad.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

CRACKIN CHRISTMAS

 

Good morning bloggers! It's Saturday so it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge as long as it's Christmas related, with the optional theme this week of "Use some patterned paper".

The winner is picked randomly each week and Hazel is willing to post the prize anywhere in the world! This week's prize is this: 

Dovecraft

"The Magic of Christmas"

Stamp set

I've had a bit of a crafty clearout this week. Nothing gone to waste though as I've got a friend who works on a Dementia Unit and she has all my "leftovers" to make things with the patients in her care.

I found a magazine I hadn't even opened (shameful!) and it contained a Nutcracker freebie set. So that's what I've used for my card. I embossed a piece of gold mirri card as my backing, and used papers and toppers from the set.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

FLORAL HELLO

 

Good morning and welcome to September! 

It's a new month so it's new challenge time at Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge . As always, it's an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge but you must use some patterned paper or card. Hazel offers a prize each month and is willing to post anywhere in the world so anyone can enter, and you can enter as many times as you like! The prize this month is this:

Bo Bunny
36 sheets of
Butterfly Kisses Collection
and
Bo Bunny butterfly kisses buttons

For my card, I have used up some scraps of paper, cutting each one with a die and layering them up. I added a simple "Hello" sentiment.

Can't believe that's another month gone. It's been a crappy year. I am so in need of something nice to happen. I'm 50 in a couple of months but I think I'm going to postpone my birthday for another year. Staying 49!!!

Looking forward to seeing you makes.

Hugs
