Crafty Catz Challenge #348 ~ Anything Goes

Good morning, how are you all?  Well we've had a week of it weather wise, the start of the week saw rain and lots of it which lead to localised flooding but thankfully we avoided that part and now we have strong winds and its bloomin' cold!  So all the more reason to stay inside and craft!  Well this week I have finally been able to get into the craft room and do some proper crafting.  I took it easy so as not to over reach with my thumb and I managed to complete my project for Crafty Catz this week. So without further ado lets talk about this week's challenge over at Crafty Catz, it's everyones' favourite 'Anything Goes' and this week our fabulous Janette gave the DT the twist of 'a Christmas tag'  Now remember the twist is for the DT but you are more than welcome to join in with the twist if you want to.  We have a great sponsor too

POLKA DOODLES

So I made a Christmas tag using a wonderful image generously given to us by our sponsor.  This little cutie is called 'Toots Santa' he is coloured with copics and spectrums and I added lots of glamour dust to all the fluffy bits for that Christmas sparkle.  Die cut to trees from Kraft then embossed them and rubbed them over with white ink.  The background paper is from Bearly Mine Designs and the paper used for the bows is from Raspberry Road Designs.  Bows are cut using a TH die and I layered up the large and small ones and finished them off with a little snowflake.  The final touch was the sentiment which is a little wooden one that I have heat embossed with white sea foam powder.

I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

PRIZE......3 IMAGES OF WINNERS CHOICE

A couple of weeks ago my project was a digital one that I plan to print out and put on a tile and varnish to make it into a teapot/hot plate stand.  That one was wintery so I decided this week I'd make a Christmas one (I think a few more may be on the way for all the seasons!)  Again the paper is from Bearly Mine Designs (all the hard work layering having already been done!) and I added the text and bevelled it in PSE5.  I love the poem and thought it fitted well here.

Crafty Catz Challenge #346 ~ Anything Goes

Good morning, well its bright and sunny here is Dorset but it's pretty darn cold too!  So I'm staying indoors in the warm.  Anyway it's Friday so time for a brand new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week it is the turn of our fabulous Nick to choose the theme and it's a straight forward 'Anything Goes' challenge and we have a wonderful sponsor

PRIZE.....3 DIGI IMAGES 

Our sponsors were very generous and gave the DT some fabulous images to work with.  For my card this time I have again worked it all digitally in PSE5 and will print it out and mount it on a card when I am back in my craft room.  I have used a pre-coloured image from our sponsor called 'Winter Games 02'.  Issue 12 of Crafters Inspiration arrived just in time for this as I used a paper and floral frame from the 'Happy Holidays' kit and then teamed that up with the Christmas tree element from 'Deck The Halls' all on the cd I finished off with a digi stamp sentiment also from the cd to which I added some bevelled edges.  Once printed I will no doubt add a touch of glitter here and there for some extra sparkle.

Don't forget to pop over to Crafty Catz and see the awesome projects from the DT ladies, they have as usual worked their magic.

PRIZE......ADFD WILL PROVIDE 3$ GIFT VOUCHER

this is equal to 3 images of winners choice

This week I have gone with a very simple project that I did in Photoshop Elements (I'm still not able to get in the craftroom and do stuff yet and I'm really missing it) I have used a gorgeous paper from Bearly Mine Designs, I love how it is already all layered up and 'embellished' so all I have added is the quote which I found on Pintrest and I added a slight bevel to it.  Once my hand is fighting fit I intend to print this out and put it onto a ceramic tile leftover from when our bathroom was decorated and then varnish it and put some little felt on it so it can be used as a teapot/hot plate stand.
