Bah! Humbug!

This week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! is to include a candy cane in your card.  Well, you really had me going this week ladies!! I turned my craft stash inside out looking for something with candy canes on it.  Found some backing paper and a stamp, but nothing that went together to make a card.  Then I searched through some free downloads that I have had for a couple of years and found this image.  OK, you have to look hard to see the candy cane, but it is there!

As it also includes circles I am also entering it in the CHNC challenge this week.

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 week's challenge on Bah! Humbug! is Christmas Trees.  My card for this challenge is a tea bag folded tree.  It is also on a square card so I am also entering in in the CHNC challenge this week.

Crafters Companion Blog Challenge

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

Bah! Humbug!

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!

Bah! Humbug!

This week's challenge from Bah! Humbug! was to use a doily in your card.  I suddenly realise that I was fast running out of time to complete this challenge as I had to finish it today and get it onto the blog because I have a card class tomorrow morning.  It really was a quick card and the stickles glue I used was still wet when I took the photo!!!
