HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

 

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

"Vintage Love" Paper Pad

30 sheets 3 x 10 designs

I'm feel honoured to know a man who has just celebrated his 100th birthday! One of my customers, who I've known for over thirty years, a true gent. He's gentle, kind, has a brilliant sense of humour, and he still lives at home! Just fantastic!

I made the card using a piece of patterned paper, cutting out the 100 and adding a matching strip at the bottom. He loved the card and thought it so special, he placed it on his mantle piece next to the one from the Queen! Bless him.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE 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 "make your own background".

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 3 x 10 designs

I made my background using my Copics, colouring stripes across a piece of card, saturating it well, then splattering it with alcohol to disperse the colour. I've used a couple of dies, and added little gems.

It's a drab morning here, pouring with rain, which I don't mind at all but wish it was a little brighter!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

I have been stamping and embossing again. I've used a sentiment Christmas tree stamp and embossed in gold, adding some flat backed pearls to finish off.

It's been a strange week, slowly building up to my baby girl's 18th birthday which is today, but a sad day yesterday as my sister's father-in-law passed away. He was such a gentle gentleman, and 94 years young. Good innings. RIP Michael, enjoy your pint up there!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

I've made a simple card for my SON!!! He's 24 soon, can't quite believe it! I've used strips of black and white patterned paper, adding a "Happy Birthday" stamp, and SON cut from black card. I really hope he has a nice day. I've bought him a few books to add to his Kings and Queens collection, he has a huge love of history. I couldn't quite bring myself to buy the "Elixabeth I" one.....that was £84!!!! For a book!!! I'll have to try and get a second hand copy of that one!

Looking forward to seeing your makes.
