A christmas shoe!!!

In addition to my previous post re the Charisma christmas challenge, I made this christmas shoe! I have been itching to have a go at one of these for months and last week I bit the bullet and loved the finished item! This christmas themed shoe is the 2nd that I have made, I used double-sided card which was great for the lining, the christmas tree embellie is a brad. I had some christmassy bags from last year, I was going to make chocolate covered honeycombe for the teachers pressies but simply ran out of time lol!!! They were perfect for this project, the contents are marshmallow christmas trees. We have both sets of parents joining us for christmas lunch this year and I will be making these as the female place settings and must have a go at fellow design teamie Julia's snowmans hats for the males! a view of the empty shoe!

Hope you like them!

A Spoon Full of Sugar - challenge 123

Good morning, it's new challenge time at A Spoon Full of Sugar and this week I have chosen 'spots and stripes' as our theme.
We were given some images from our sponsor to use if we wished, for my card I have combined 2 of them, I just thought the boy and girl looked like they were having so much fun playing cowboys/girls!! Our sponsor is Meljen Designs and the winner will receive 4 images of their choice from the Meljen line at Whimsy Stamps.
We are joined by my old teamie from Charisma Sally Jones who has made the most gorgeous card, to see this and the rest of the girls fab cards please pop on over to the blog.

Multi challenge card

Todays card covers the following 5 challenges :
1) Secret Crafter - Anthing goes.
2) Pollycraft - cute and cuddly.
3) Papertake Weekly - animal magic.
4) Cute Card Thursday - sketch.
5) Meljen - autumn colours. The image is from Pollycraft and is pre-coloured which is always great for quickie cards! To be honest I have lost the urge to craft at the moment, I keep buying crafty bits hoping they will give me a boost and I'll get back into the swing of things, but nothing much as yet!! I guess we all go through it at times.

Chairsma Cardz - Anything goes

Good morning, here I am with new Charisma Cardz challenge and this week 'Anything goes' yep you can make anything you like!
I decided to make a little sweet basket instead of a card for a change. These are so easy to make, you start with a square divide it into 9 equal squares a couple of cuts and the basic basket is there! I found some freebie download halloween paper hence the halloween sweetie basket! For all prize details and to see the examples from the rest of the design team and our guest designers please check out the blog.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 122

I've gone for a christmas card and paired up a couple of SJ's Little Musings, these are Hollie and Noel, I think they make a sweet little couple don't you? The paper is a download and I used my compass cutter to cut out the ring.

Charisma Cardz - Sketch it

Good morning, wow these weeks are flying by so fast! We have a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz and this week we have a sketch which has been designed by the 'boss' Carly! For my card I have used one of SJ's fabby christmas digi images (SJ's Little Musings) this is Hollie, don't you just love her bauble earrings!?! The papers are Daisy & Dandelion, A winter's tale, christmas collection, I love them and have just ordered another pack, the sad thing is there is only 1 sheet of each colour/pattern and I so hate using it and knowing I've got none left lol (hence the ordered pack!). I tried out my new X-cut border punch (only £3.99) on the checked strip and although it doesn't show that well it really does look nice. The greeting was printed via the pc and the buttons/ribbon are from my stash!

We have 3 prizes this week :

1) The AI Factory have very kindly donated a $10 gift voucher.
2) The boss Carly has donated a beautiful oriental Magnolia Tilda stamp.

3) $15 worth of digi images from a 'surprise' company!

The girls have as always made fabby examples using the sketch, drop by and take a look, and don't forget we have a DT call at the moment take a look HERE if you would like to join us on the team (we don't bite!!).
