Allsorts Challenge #679 - ATG opt. Sun, Sea and Sand

 Hi Crafters,

A short post today as I am still getting over Flu, my eyes ache so  much that I cannot spend very long in front of the screen.

Please check out the new challenge that starts at Allsorts today of ANYTHING GOES with an option of SUN, SEA AND SAND.

I've created a set of ATC's

We have a stamp set and stencil for the lucky winner.

Allsorts Challenge #649 - From Boys to Men

 Hi Crafters,

Yay! It's Saturday, another busy week has flown by so fast and I find myself one week into November - how did this happen?

We have a new challenge starting at Allsorts where we want to see all your makes for the BOYS and MEN in your life.

I have created this coastal scene using some free stamps from a magazine and used my water-colour paints for the image but Distress Inks and a stencil to create the sky.

All the stamps and the sentiment were part of the stamp set, including the porthole which I have mounted on 3D foam and attached acetate to the back but the camera isn't showing this I'm afraid.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Make My Monday - #160 E(scape) It

Crafty Creations - #427 ATG

We have two lovely prizes again this week for our lucky winners...

Woodware Stamp and Sentiment Set

from CraftStash

AND

3 images of winners choice from...

Ruth Hamilton Designs

Please pop along to the challenge blog here to see what the rest of the design team have created to inspire you.

Well, that's all from me today, thank you for visiting and I hope to see youa gain soon.

Floating By...

Hi Crafters,

**if you are looking for my As You Like It DT card then please scroll down to the previous post**

 

It's not often that I get to make a card just for fun but that's just what this one was and I thoroughly enjoyed making it. The bright and cheerful colours really lifted my mood and this came together quite quickly.

 

....and I'm so chuffed as I have made an easel card. I have been stuck in a rut of just making square cards for so long now that I fancied a change.

...here's a close up of that fab image..
