It's been a busy week this week as I had a card sale at my monthly U3A meeting yesterday. So I have spent quite a few days making up cards for that. This is the first challenge I have been able to think about this week, and I really struggled for an idea apart from fairies! Then yesterday I was asked to make a card for a guy. So this one is a male imagine with images from MCS!!

I think most guys imagine themselves driving one of these!

I have just had to make a very quick card for someone, these last minute dashes!! As you might imagine the decision is then what to do. I had printed a sheet of paisley paper from Kanban Ladies backing papers CD ready for the CD Sunday challenge this week. Well as that was to hand I used it together with a Hunkydory topper and instant card. Might not be what the folks at CD Sunday had in mind, but I think it still meets the challenge (especially as I was running out of time anyway)!!

The CHNC Challenge this month is to make a card without a sentiment. I have been making a few smaller Christmas cards lately, to cut the costs of posting. Because the cards are smaller there is no space to put a sentiment on the front, so I have got round it by using Christmas backing paper. Here is one, the image is from MCS.

Bah! Humbug!

2011-09-07T12:40:00.000+01:00

This week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! is to make the sentiment the main feature of the card. Hope this one is OK, I have taken the sentiment and because I love ribbons have used one on the side of the card. I have also cut out a poinsettia to hold the sentiment in place.

The CHNC challenge this week is a Christmas song or carol. So all the time I was making this card the words of Slade's "Merry Christmas" were going on in my head (especially the first line "Are you hanging up your stocking on the wall"). So it fits both challenges.

This week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! is something to make you giggle or smile. Well this image of Rudolf wrapped up in fairy lights from MCS always brings a smile to my face. As it also includes holly and a Ponsettia I am also including it in the CHNC challenge this week.

This month's challenge on Crafters Companion Blog is to make an Easter card. I have done something a bit different and I hope you like it. The image is from MCS Enchanted Moments CD and the backing paper is from CC Flower Fairies (Almond Blosson - I did use the colouriser). I then used a twig and coloured some flowers with a matching promarker to make some 3D blossom (a tip picked up from Joanna Sheen on C&C).

This week's challenge on Bah! Humbug was to use metal in your design. I had a few ideas but not a lot of time this week. So a very simple card, I used a silver aperture card and put some Christmas paper in it. I then found a metal reindeer (lurking from a QVC kit I bought years ago!) this is attached with 2 brads.

I am also entering this into the CHNC Challenge which this week is to use Silver.

This week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! is to use a card with an aperture.

Here is my card for this week. The card was printed with the border and has a square aperture which is really to put a photo in. However I use a piece of gold card and cut the shape of a bauble out. I then took a piece of sequin waste and threaded ribbons through then mounted that into the aperture. Finished off with a poinsettia and a peel off greeting.

I am also entering this into the CHNC Challenge which this week is Go for Gold.

I am pleased to say that the internet cafe has closed and we are now back to having 2 computers connected to the internet.

This week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! was to use embossing on your card. So I used the Crafts-Too Christmas Trees Frame on gold mirror card. I am really into using my ribbons at the moment so decided to make that part of the feature. Not a great photo due to the reflection from the mirror card. Thank you for the lovely comments.

Hazel has invited me to enter the challenge over on her blog, thank you, I have now added my card to your challenge. Here is a link to Hazel's bog

Well this week I feel like I am in an internet cafe!! The wireless internet is playing up and we have had to set up one of the computers in the living room, OH and I are having to share it to connect to the internet. We have an engineer coming tomorrow so hopeful we will soon be back to having 2 computers connected to the world.

This week's challenge at Bah! Humbug! is things that fly. I really like this image of a robin from MCS Craft e Christmas so decided to use that, I also love this ribbon so have made a feature of it. A bit of embossing, some card candy and peels off and that is it.

Well if I thought I was cutting it fine getting last week's card onto my blog, this week's is by the skin of my teeth as I have had so many internet problems!!! This week's challenge at Bah! Humbug! was to use a CD on your card. Mine is very simple because of lack of time, I have just put some stickers on and coloured them in using peel-off pens!
