All change

It's time to say farewell to one DT (boohoo)with my last project for Delightful Challenges as I've come to my last week, I can't believe the year went so quickly, it's been such fun with all their lovely images to work with.  

But I did have some good news this week (yipee), that I'm really excited about, I'm joining the DT over at My Time To Craft, so it all fits in quite nicely for me, and will help to keep me occupied, my first project there will be on 31st Jan.

Our theme this week at Delightful Challenges is 'Valentines, but No Cards' my project is a pillow gift box with several embelishments, i've used the Cupid Ridley digi and given him a little 'just for you' ticket to hold,  the digi's and BP are all available from Digital Delights by Louby Loo, he was coloured with promarkers and sakura glitter pens, my 3 hearts are made with my new memory box dies, and finished off with an organza ribbon bow and a little heart gem.

Haystacks Scarecrow - Delightful Challenges DT

The challenge over at Delightful Challenges this week is Distressed/Vintage, it doesn't show very well, but the Haystacks digi which I coloured with Promarkers has tattered straw edges which I cut into several times and frayed them, the colouring is meant to look patchy in line with a distressed/faded look a scarecrow would have from being out in all weathers.  My die cuts are by Marianne Creatable, BP is from Artylicious, and riboon from my stash.

Fabulous Fifties - Delightful Challenges DT

It's new release time over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo, this month they have a fabulous set of digi's themed on the Fabulous Fifties.  I used Rockaround Sue, Fifties DP's, 50's Music Set. I can't say that I've ever seen a pink and black spotty poodle ! but the idea amused me and then he matched his mistresses dress, yep I know I'm weird, but I've been this way for many years now and it's probably to late for me to change now.

So the challenge this week at Delightful Challenges is Pink, Black & Silver 

Our sponsor this week

Scrapy Land is offering a $20 gift card to their store!!

Have a Heart - Delightful Challenges DT

It's the first challenge of the year over at Delightful Challenges and the theme for this week is Have a Heart, thought mine would be a good anniversary card, I used Love Birds digi and Wedding Anniversary senti from digital Delights by Louby Loo, coloured with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens, the BP is from Artylicious and one of my lovely Marianne Creatbles dies to frame the image with a little inking whilst it was still in the die.

Party Bag - Delightful Challenges DT

Ooohps, all behind, somewhere this week I seem to have lost a day, I thought today was Wednesday, so where has that day gone?, who stole it.

Your challenge this week over at Delightful Challenges is 'Anything Goes' a nice easy one  for this busy time of year.  So here is a hasitly a put together post now, I may well have to come back and edit it later on.

I was tasked with making party bags for one my grandaughters party in January, the theme being Princesses easy one for the little girls, but there are several little boys going to so I needed to come up with something else for them, I don't think they would appreciate the lovely pink princess, scalloped creations I came up with for them, so we decided similar size and shape without the scallops would be ok, and dragons, knights and castles would be good for the images, thank goodness for Digital Delights by Louby Loo I had all the right images, I know it's not all prettied up with loads of embellies and stuff, somehow I don't think the little boys would like that.

Blue Christmas - Delightful Challenges DT

Oh dear, all behind today, where has the morning gone !! At least all my Christmas cards are made, written and ready to post.  Despite my resolve last year to make smaller and lighter weight cards this year, I didn't do very well, they slowly got larger and heavier as the year went on, i am really not good at small and  lighweight cards. 

This week it's Blue Christmas over at Delightful Challenges. Having looked at my teamies cards it seems the Snowy night background was popular with us, no surprise really as it is rather lovely.
