HAPPY NEW NEW YEAR AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Good morning blogland!
I hope you're Christmas has been a happy one!
I'm here today with my DT card for The Crafter's Cafe where the first theme for 2015 is NEW! I have made a new baby card using an image called "Cutie 11" from Fitztown digistamps, our sponsor for this challenge. The background paper is another magazine freebie, and I've used some twine and a little teddy charm to finish the card off.
Now it's over to you. Anything with a "NEW" theme!

ANIMALS FRIENDS AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Hello bloggers!
It's time for a new challenge at The Crafter's Cafe and our theme this week is "Animal Friends". Our sponsor for this challenge is Squigglefly and I have used their digi called "Skating Penguin". So cute!
I have coloured him in with Copics and added Twinklets Diamond Dust as snow. I've made a simple layered background and finished the card off with a "Joyful Wishes" tag.
Now it's over to you. Any card will do as long as it features an animal.

Hugs

PS. I think this may be my last post before Christmas so may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year xxx

ANYTHING CHRISTMAS BUT A CARD AT CFAS

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well into the Christmas festivities! We've not got our tree up yet because I like to treat us to a real one (you can't beat the smell!) and I don't want it to die before the big day. Lights are on the house though and the odd homemade thing or two are dotted around the house....I LOVE IT!
I'm here today with my DT make for Crafting for all Seasons where we're having a month long challenge (so us ladies can have a little break) with some fabulous sponsors! The challenge is to make anything Christmassy EXCEPT cards so it's a big chance to show off all your lovingly made Christmas goodies!
I have made a little canvas using one of my favourite images, "Rory Christmas Presents" , from Lacy Sunshine. I've coloured her in with Copics (mainly B97,95,93 and 91 and E35,33 and 31). I've used some snowflake paper (I think from Dovecraft's Winter Wonderland) and added Twinklets Diamond Dust all around the edge and for falling snow. The "Happy Christmas" die was a freebie with a magazine and I've finished the canvas off with some die-cut holly leaves and red flat-backed pearls.
Hope you like it! (Hubby says this looks much better in real life because it's hard to catch the "twinkling snow" in a photo!) Bless him!
Now it's over to you.....anything Christmas BUT a card. You could win one of many fab prizes from our great sponsors:

Good Luck everyone!

And a very Merry Christmas to you all! Enjoy!

Hugs

USE A DOILY AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Hello bloggers!
It's time for a new challenge at The Crafter's Cafe and this week are are asking you "to use a doliy". Our sponsor for this challenge is A Day for Daisies and I have used their beautiful digi called "Pearls in her Hair". Isn't she stunning?!
I have coloured her in with Copics and cut her out with a scalloped circle die. The background paper is another magazine freebie (possibly by Raspberry Road) and I've layered this up on a piece of card which I coloured with Copics because I couldn't find a perfect match in my stash! I've used a square doily and some flowers from my stash to embellish.
Now it's over to you. "Use a doily" and enter our challenge!
Hugs
