crafts 4 eternity recipe challenge #14

Hello!!

Hope you all had a wonderful time bringing in the New Year! We were all at mum's this year and were totally confused about the strange lights floating in the sky! We went out at midnight to watch the fireworks and saw these glowing shapes floating across the sky...when one eventually passed over us we realised they were lanterns!! This is something new to our neck of the woods lol! It would have been lovely to have have a few for the kids to send up,but we didn't see any to buy. Hope they were eco-friendly!! lol! there were lots of them floating out towards the Bristol channel!

The first C4E recipe of 2010 has been posted this morning. This weeks prize is a goody bag and chance to be guest designer for February! Hop over to the C4E Blog to see the challenge and gorgeous DT cards.

My card was made for my niece's birthday which was New Years day! She was born 01/01/01!!! can't believe she's 10!

The PP are k&co and basic grey. The image is one of the lovely Tilda's from the Magnolia winter club kit. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with the kit, probably because I was expecting xmas stamps lol! but this image is so sweet and perfect for any occasion. Need to get the others inked up and have a play!

I have coloured Tilda with H20's and pencils.
I am doing a colouring techniques class at the C4E crop this month so I am ordering some Distress inks to try. I love some Copics this year I'll have to start a Copic's saving fund lol!!


Lastly I made a quick notebook for my niece using the same Tilda coloured pink!
Thanks for stopping take care!

Wow! I can't believe another week has gone and I haven't posted anything!

With reindeer poop, snowman kisses, snowman soup, cards, crops, kits, shopping.....It's been a busy time!

Are you ready? Me?... no where near ready! lol! We haven't even got the tree up yet! Should be doing it now but I'm so behind! aren't I always lol!

So this is the last C4E recipe before Christmas, yes there will be one next week! must be mad! lol! This week Suzette is sponsoring the challenge with a cute stamp called Daisy! She is a dream to use! Suzette runs Crafty sentiment stamps (link in sidebar) do hop over and check out her fab stamps!

Ok you will find the Recipe HERE and the gorgeous DT cards!

These 2 cards were made for the boys teachers. I can't remember which went where now lol! Mikael's teacher also had snowman soup! I'll share those pics later (lol!)

First one uses all the ingredients from the recipe! The PP is basic grey and MME ( c4e November kit) The journal spot is from the November kit. The net is some left over net from my veil! ribbon from stash, the tiny rings were sent to me by fellow UKs teamie Jeggy (thanks hun xx)

The gorgeous girl is Daisy! yep the one you could win! She has been coloured with watercolour paints. I have stamped around the edge with a Dovecraft Fantasy stamp.

Loving snowflakes this year! Lots of twinkle! These are 2 punched snowflakes layered up and finished with a Prima gem.


The second card uses only the sketch from this weeks recipe. PP is basic grey Eskimo Kisses. The pom pom trim is Bazzill basics and available in the C4E store, fab for adding dimension and texture!

The sentiment spot is one I printed quick from my computer and punched out. I printed a little batch of them!

And the lovely Daisy! This time coloured with pencils and H2O's, good to see they are available again, must get some more!

No need to say I tipped the glitter glue over the cards! lol! Need some more of that too! Think I'll be re-stocking after Christmas! DH said he would give me some cash for Christmas and a couple of gifts, so I can buy some stash Yay!! And of course the store needs more stock! lol!

Well I have written more than I intended lol! fingers have run amock on the keyboard lol!

I will be taking some time off with the boys over Christmas, Hopefully returning all organized and caught up! lol! Hopefully this is not the last post before Christmas but If I don't make it back.......

Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!

Thanks for stopping by
