Tags - Christmas with the Cuties

Good Morning all, hope you had a great weekend - thoroughly enjoyed my extra hour in the day yesterday, meant that I could be up, get a fair bit of housework done, get to my crafty cupboard in the afternoon, and without feeling like I had to get up super early to accomplish everything - could do with one of these additional hours every week!!!!

Anyway, its time for a new challenge at 

Christmas with the Cuties

and our theme is

TAGS

we are sponsored by our lovely friends at

for my own DT make, I decided to "Go Large" - the Tag I choose to use was actually a wall hanging that I grabbed several of, when they went cheap in Homebase earlier in the year - I wasn't too keen on the cheesy inspirational quote, so painted the tag with some Crown Heritage paint (Promanade). The image used is actually from Wild Rose Studio, and was coloured with Promarkers, edged with Frosty Lace Stickles, and mounted onto a Spellbinders Fancy Oval die cut. The gorgeous polka dot backing was the glossy cover of a magazine freebie paper pad. Added self adhesive ribbon and lace and finished with a couple of wooden tree embellies from The Works.

I would like to enter this into these challenges:

allsorts challenge - Christmas Creatures

Christmas Card Throwdown - use canvas or wood

as you like it challenge - People or Animals (I have a love of images that feature Animals doing "People" things, so I am going to cheat and say BOTH!

moving along with the times - charms or tags

the merry christmas challenge - anything goes

I'm sure most of you now are starting to think about making some Christmas cards - if you haven't already started, so I do hope you will join us for this challenge!

All very Cute, with Crafty Friends

Hello, my lovely blog friends -  If you are a regular visitor here, you may know that we have been doing some decorating here. We have redecorated two rooms (our living room and bedroom) but it has been such an upheaval that I actually feel like I've moved house!!!! That work has now been all completed, and I am just going through to last few boxes of "bits and bobs" that have been stashed in Megan's bedroom for the last couple of weeks. We have a lovely built in cupboard in our bedroom that I even decided to overhaul and this has now been transformed into my new craft corner - it's looking fab and I will add some piccies later, when I have a little more time - for now it's just lovely to have the opportunity to blog again!!!

Anyway, for today's post I want to tell you all about our latest Crafty Friends Challenge

our theme this time is

CUTE (a popular choice with me, lol)

our sponsors this time are

who also provided the team with some amazing images to play with.

I was delighted to be able to use A Star is Born

with such an adorable image, I kept the rest of the card fairly simple - using Nitwit papers, string and kraft and brown card stock for matting.

I do hope you will join us for this challenge - just click HERE

SSW2 - Challenge 122

Hi Blog Chums.....hope you've had a great weekend - we started decorating our living room last week, and this has led to days of chaos! How can it be that decorating one room can leave the whole house upside down, lol....I have to admit that having power tools, buckets of wallpaper paste, boxes of screws and the like all over the place, is starting to test my patience, but we are getting there - and I get to "escape" back to work this morning. 

Anyway, I am a few days late with this post.....but we have a great new sketch for you to play with at

Sweet Sketch Wednesday

my DT card is based on this sketch

our lovely sponsors for this challenge are

who also provided some adorable images for the team - I am using "Rabbit"

I do hope you will join us for this challenge, we'd love to see you.

Apologies for the short post this time, normal service will be resumed soon xx
