Creepy Kid lol...

Morning everyone :D 

It's coming up to one of  my favourite times of year

Samhain/Halloween mwahahaha....

so there was no doubt what my theme would be

for 

CRAFTING FROM THE HEART

Challenge 06

Every year my granddaughters costumes are 

getting more outrageous, and last years

was especially freaky lol

I mean, who even thinks of dressing their little

2 year old Princess as Beetlejuice???

But she totally hammed it up hahahaha...

That's my  girl :D

So when I saw the "All Hallows Eve" papers

from Crafter's Companion

and the "Shabby Basic-Halloween Dolls" dies

from Sam Poole at Creative Expressions

I knew exactly what I was going to make for this

challenge :D mwahahahaha....

I would like to share this project with

 the following challenges:

Crafting Happiness Challenge #146  September Anything Goes

Blooming Gorgeous

Hello folks, time to share another project for 

THE CRAFTY ADDICTS

Challenge 04 

(Always Anything Goes)

I've mentioned before how I could be a bit of a

"creativity snob" at times, but I have always appreciated

the pre-cut card kits you can buy.

We don't always have the time or the inclination 

to create from scratch.

I decided to use this gorgeous kit from 

HUNKYDORY

Beautiful soft shades and classically elegant images.

(and foiled which makes photos difficult lol)

Took a base card sheet and my trusty score board

(Crafter's Companion Pro)

and made a fancy fold....

I had a piece of lace I wanted to add, but it was the

 wrong colour blue, so I took a pro marker and 

changed it.

I also wanted to add an extra butterfly, 

stamped and fussy cut and coloured with same marker...

Minimal effort for a beautifully elegant card.

Enjoy XXX

Batch Making with Alice

My DT project for this months challenge at

THE CRAFTY ADDICTS

I've never really been any good at "batch" making cards 

as I get bored quickly lol

But I treated myself (again) to this gorgeous kit from

 Crafter's Companion

And Oh my Goodness....

literally everything but the glue and scissors!

Then it was just a matter of where to begin...

All of a sudden I had a batch of 6 cards to send with

the RAK packages I am making

(The blue stripey ribbon is from my own stash)

Classically simple cards can look so expensive lol

I am spending a lot of time making journal pages at the moment, but found time today for a touch of "cute" :D

This card was made using my Crafters Companion Peter Rabbit stamps, and some gorgeous egg peel-off stickers that I've been hoarding for years.

I stuck the stickers onto some holograghic card, and coloured the flopsey bunnies so it kooks like they are eating chocolate :D Dp from Brenda Pinnocks Sucerie collection and ribbon from Cosmo Cricket.
