RED ROBIN

 

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 "Things with wings".

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: 

Lil Inky Designs

Cutie Cat Stamps

I have made a double-folded card, using backing paper from a freebie magazine set. Who doesn't love a robin?! I doodle around the edges with black pen. Simple but I really love this card.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH R

 

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 "Something beginning with "R"".

I have used a set of dies and some snippets of Christmas paper to make my card. The olive green paper is so lovely, it has delicate little glitter dots all over it! I finished the card off with a REINDEER topper from my stash.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

EMBOSSED CHRISTMAS 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 glitter".

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: 

Acrylic Stamp Set

I have used another magazine freebie this week. I stamped the tree with Versamark ink and used white embossing powder. I cheated a little with the glitter (it annoys me!) so I used glitter glue to highlight the edge of the circle and the snowflake.

It's my big birthday today...I was hoping to delay it for 12 months in the hope I'd be able to celebrate properly but my family said no! It will be a quiet affair with a big family quiz via Zoom tonight. 

Looking forward to seeing your makes

Stay safe and big hugs.

BUTTONED SNOWFLAKE

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 "Add one or more buttons".

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: 

Acrylic Stamp Set

I have made a layered snowflake topper for my card, adding a bright blue button from the huge box my Mum left me. I die cut " Merry Christmas" greeting in matching blue, adding a little gem on the "i".

It's been a strange week at work. We thought it would be a mad rush again as we entered another lock down but it's been quite calm, thankfully. 

Hope everyone is safe, and please remember to check in on family and friends. Your little phone call or message could mean the world!

ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY

 

Good morning and welcome to November! 

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! 

I found another Hunkydory freebie in my huge pile of magazines. It's a beautiful collection, one of those "I really don't want to cut these papers up" types!! I die-cut the backing piece then used toppers from the set. A quick card....can't believe I've had a week off work and it's gone SO fast! My time has been spent clearing my Dad's house, an ongoing task but I'm getting there. 

Hope you are all safe and well. As I type this, we are awaiting an announcement by Boris on possibly going into another full lockdown. I just can't see an end to this madness. 

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

Hugs
