PEACE AND JOY

 


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 "Include the word "JOY"".

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:

Make and Create
"Soft Colours"Design Pad
30 sheets

I've had a horrible week which has left me feeling so sad. No one has died but still so sad. Hence, late post. I'm so sorry.
I've had the stamps out again for my card today. The image and sentiment have been stamped onto some backing paper and heat embossed, adding a few pearl drops here and there.

Looking forward to seeing your makes (and to happier times!)

CHRISTMAS BAUBLES

 


Good morning bloggers! I'm a  bit late posting this. So sorry to all! 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:
Crafter's Companion Metal Die

I have used a sheet of patterned paper which I've cut with a curved die, adding an embossed sentiment.

The reason I am late is good old Covid! I tested positive and although I've not been too poorly (backache and nausea were the worst symptoms), it's completely thrown me out of kilter. There was so much confusion with the Covid app, and Test and Trace and emails, all telling me different times to isolate. I was finally allowed back to work last Friday, thank goodness!

Normal service has now been resumed!
Looking forward to seeing your makes.

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:
Leonie Pujol Embossing Folder
"Scribbley Wishes"

I've used the same backing paper I used on last weeks card, along with some die cuts and a piece of snowflake ribbon. Aded and embossed sentiment to the corner. I love these colours together!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

THINKING OF YOU

 


Good morning!
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! This month's prize is this:

Make and Create
"Soft Colours" Design Pad
30 sheets

I have made a floral card using a few dies and some beautiful floral paper. I cut the sentiment twice, once in floral and again in solid green, layering them up to give a shadowed effect.

I'm feeling rough. I thought we had got through our little Covid nightmare but I've just done another lateral flow test and there's a feint line so it's a PCR test for me, and no work! I'm so fed up!

Looking forward to seeing you makes.
Hugs
