Old Father Time

I tell you had no idea what to do with the theme for this week, took me over 2 weeks to put this card together, mojo left me, never happened before lol

For some reason lately I can't finish my cards, the last little bit that finishing touch is just not with me right now,but I'm quiet happy with this result, may fav bit is the hanging little clock what can be taken off and can be used on bag, key or phone charm whatever the recipient want

Ok I stop all that chattering, here is my card



Recipe

Priscilla's digi

Nestability

Paper from stash

Creative Expression swirl stamp

Tim Holtz stamp (the watch)

Shakura glitter pan

Shrink plastic

Glitter
Water colour pencils

 On my base card I stamped the big corner in red then on the green I stamped in black in two opposites corner an the other two opposite corners I just used a embossing ink then embossed it with silver pearl, pic doesn't show it to well, the rest was easy-peasy. Stamped the clock on black shrink plastic with my white stayz-on and got the chain from my stash to be able to hang it on my tag. Coloured & glittered and job done lol But I can tell you it wasn't this simple because it took me over 2 weeks to finish it lol

Oh yeah the babble was made with liquid applique just love that staff.

Pop over to TT and see rest of the DT's work and don't forget our sponsor for this week is the fab Craft Barn

Happy crafting

Showcase your year

It is an easy week over at TT, you got to pick your favourite cards/projects of 2010. Hehe easy it was difficult for me lol there are so many to pick but max 6, well anyway here they are

I just have to love this, nothing biggie but this is the 1st time I used canvas and it's my little Princess on it.

Well this set, started as a box, then I thought it'll make a lovely present so I made the matching bookmark and ATC and once I finished it I just fell in love with it and was very very hard to apart with it lol The Digi is Delicious Doodle Digi

This was made for the Birthday week Teri (who was our teamie) designed this for this challenge. Since she left TT she's got her own Digi Shop

 

and inside

Unfortunately I can't give you an inside pic as it was scanned as at the time I was in Hungary on holiday and that was the only way I could take a pic. I was pleased with the result as I only had few stamps and some ink with me and that was it. I have cut an oval in the middle and all the pots inside. In the front I did stick a layer of flowers onto the right&left and as the theme was boots, heels &shoes I used the boots stamp what I paper pieced.

Thanks popping by

My late post

Sorry being soooooooooo late with this post. I'm bit feeling down. Have not crafted for abt 5 days. Kids stressed me out so much I just not in crafting mood. Had fab day with kids yesterday and an OK day today. Well anyway here is my offering for the Delicious Doodle 4th challenge. We had a recipe: 3 embellishment, 2 DP and 1 topper.

 Recipe

Crafter's Companion Adorables CD

Snowy mailbox Digi from Delicious Doodles

Christmas Star BP from Delicious Doodles

Marianna poinsettia die cut

Whimsical ticket die cut and stamp

Polar white flower soft

Ribbon from stash

Glitter

Water colour pencils

 I made this for Alfie's teachers. I just thought it's a good Xmas card as well as a present. The image only needed a splash of colour and for the snow I used the polar white flower soft and glitter on the top. On the picture above you can see the glitter really well. Normally I can't take a good pic when I use glitter but this one turned out fab. Now this was my 1 topper. One of my BP is from my Adorables CD

the other one is from Delicious Doodles. My 3 embellishment are ribbon, ticket and poinsettia.

Happy Crafting

Ok a 2nd post from me for today

I'm pushing myself and thought gonna apply for an other DT position, yes I know I'm silly but I fell in love with those images so I'm gonna give a try. It is over at Stamp Fairy and there is few freebies to fetch and there is new freebie as well.

I made 2 cards and I know you already seen them but had no time to post my DT application yet just had to finish that 28 Xmas cards, so blogland had to wait for me but this morning last cards went out too, although I still got to make cards for friends but I can take it easy on that.

Well anyway here is the card you already seen from me the other day

Close up of my gingerbread guy

  Sorry Jackie not the best pic.

Alfie got 8 nursery teachers and I thought I make this tea-candle holder as a card as well as a little present. The sentiment is from TLC and when I've seen this little fellow strait away I knew what sentiment to use for him and of course had to use the BP/DP from one of my old Crafters Companion CD (Xmas Collection CD1) which was among their 1st CDs. I tell you got 2 draws full of their CDs and lads and loads of stamps I've got, but not long ago I've got hooked on digi and just can't leave them alone lol I've got the two gingerbread guys from the Gingerbreadbabies Christmas set

I have glittered the decorations on the wreath, here and there you can see a glimpse of the shines and the iceing on the baby is liquid applique. I have used my new Marianne icicle die what I sprayed with one of the Crafter's Companion glitter spray. The sentiment is just brill and to finish it off on a jump ring attached a small wreath onto the ribbon

Now the really really hard part comes, I have to choose 2 more cards, ok which one to choose as I do have loads of fev ones lol
Here is my 1st choice. The little cutie is Delicious Doodle image the box is an old cheese box turned into card as well as gift box and the matching bookmark and ATC

My 2nd choice is a 2nd Birthday card what I made for my friend's daughter. I choose this because I never done a card with so much on it

Here is a better pick of her. I didn't realised the pic I took wasn't good till I've gave the card to the little girl.

Phew this was hard and I'm sure still loads to pick from lol

If you think you would like to apply rush over to Stamp Fairy you got time till the 13th

They so easy to colour. Just to show you, here is some of my Baby Bud cards

This was made for my mum's 60est

 Made this for one of my neighbour's BD who got loads of beautifully flowers in her garden, so I strait

away I thought of my cute Baby Bud images.

 This was made for a friend who was 61 not long ago and I just had to turn the numbers other way round lol

 And this one was made for my little Princess's BD from big bro

There is a challenge right now over at Baby Bud and you get a free image to play with

Deck the Hall

This week the theme over at TT is deck the Hall set by our very talented Michelle. For me means decoration but I have made one for last week challenge so I made a card with the Wreath. I haven't decorated the house yet. We don't do it till the 24th really. Once kids in bed on the 23rd we decorate the hall and the Xmas tree. Decorating the Xmas tree on the 24th it's a Hungarian habit, I'm sooooooooo looking forward to it. The 1st year when Alfie knows what he is asking for, he doesn't one bike because he's got a small motorbike (end of the day it is  bike right lol) well he needs a big boys bike so we'll get him but he wants a blue transformer and he has stuck with this for weeks so I have to get one but all the little ones(what suits his age) from Argos for abt £4.99 not guaranteed you gonna get blue so I have to do the 3 for 2 deal and cross fingers there will be one blue in it lol

Anyway here is my card

DP from Crafters Companion Xmas collection CD1

Crafter's Companion glitter spray

Santa's boot

Before I post my card just have to show you what fun the kids had today. I bet you never thought of using your unused send pit like this lol Put my OH's belt in the handle and it was ready to pull. The little girl in the blue overall is Mesi the other is Lilly my friend's little girl. Alfie is in the blue hat and Lilly's big brother Luke is in my read jumper lol Oh and my dog in the back and the guy pulling is my friend hubby. They had a hell of a time, well so did I. We leave in a cul-de-sec and it's slightly sloping so it's a brill place at snow time

OK now my card finally lol

Over at TT the theme is St Nicolas. In Hungary we celebrate him on the 6th of December and we get chocolate and other little goodies in our boots, no toys. So when I've seen this Boots from Make it Crafty I just fell in love with it. I love this boot from Zoe and she's got wicked elf to go with it too, but I made this for the  CDAC challenge where we had to make a scene with the boot so I've thought combining the two challenges. Other digi's I used: Word Art from TLC, mouse, bear angel & Santa train from Doodle Dragon Studio and the little gingerbread man is from Stamp Fairy. No more lol

 Recipe

Digi's from above websites

Liquid applique

Glitter

Cloud stamp

Water colour penciles

 I think the first time in my life I was able to capture the glitter sooooooo nicely.

 I used gold to colour the stick but doesn't show ;-(

 I put the WA into the bell. The mouse is a cheat  I so wanted to finish in time so all of Dustin Pike images precoloured (blush blush)

And from the side
