RECYCLE WITH CRAFTYCATZ



Hello Again......

STAMPFAIRY  is sponsoring over at CRAFTY CATZ  this week and I'm joining in to support the challenge which is...........RECYLE.....



For my card I used MOLLY WINTER  and placed my watermark on her sled..

Coloured with pencils and inked up the sky....added some snowflakes and little red pearls....sentiment  is a clear set with no name..

My recycling is.........................................not the papers or snowflakes, and not even the snow...it is the bow!!

I recycled an onion bag..and it was so soft and easy to tie a bow...



There's the side view...papers are from the 'Lost and Found 12x12 pad'...

So that's it for me tonight, but will be back in the morning a few times..lol..off to eat the rest of my Jaffas...delicious ,orange, candy coated balls, with delectable chocolate inside...mmm..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Hello Everyone...hope you are all well, for those that a feeling a bit blue, I wish you sunshine and hope you are soon well again...

Today I'm here to share a DT card I made for FLUTTER BY WEDNESDAY ..

This week, we have a challenge.. 'PUNCHES AND DIES'..so colour up those Fairies and /or Butterflies and join us.


This little sweetheart is a freebie from 'SUREYA' and called the 'LOTUS PRINCESS'

I never really know what to do with the eyes on these little fairies, so basically left them alone and just added glossy accents....

Coloured with copics and pencils and added some sparkle on her wings and bodice..

The beautiful lace you can barely see, is from 'My Lady'  and have some stunning laces to share with you soon..handmade french lace, over 100 years old...





A close up of image.....and the beautiful little pink glass heart from a little friend who is 6 today...Happy Birthday KATLIN...





The side view...added a gold peel off butterfly, stuck it down onto patterned paper then cut it out. and some roses from WOC..and the frame was from Marianne creatables, cut in half to frame the image..

So, there we go...will be back later...hope you are having a great week so far, thanks for stopping by and the lovely comments you leave, really appreciate them and love to read every word..

DONT LOOSE YOUR HEAD!!



Hello Everyone.....what a great weekend. ....so sad it is over as there were a few more things I would have loved to get done, but at least I was able to get another coat of paint on my fence and did all the inside too, so the gardens stand out better and they are starting to look real pretty now.....much better to look out the front door and see a painted fence than bare wood...just need to fill my half round baskets ,hang them up, then done for the summer.....as I'm sure not going out there when the real heat comes.....we are sitting on 20 - 21[70 -72F] each day at the moment..just right.

So here we are for another MAKE IT MONDAY  and congrats to last week winners...

We are being sponsored by DR.DIGIS HOUSE OF STAMPS this week, and my, they have hilarious fun images...




For my card share I used this image called HEADLESS ......



I came up with the sentiment while colouring him in, plus an acquaintance needed a fiftieth birthday card and had no idea what her friend was into to give me a theme...



Coloured the head with pencils...paper pieced his jacket and shoes...and some doodling around the edge...then glittered up his shirt and collar....



The papers are 'Authentique... Comfort and familiar' and I love this pad, and need to find more as these sheets were about the last of them...

The lettering 50 came from my die cut swaps with DORA  thanks Dora..

Close up of sentiment.....



Hope he enjoys his card....

Well, once again, I had to choose my favourite POTW..always so difficult, but came down to this card from #30 BIRGIT  ...


Very pretty card Birgit...thanks for sharing..

So that's me done..back to the coal mines today...thanks for stopping by, will see you tomorrow..
