CRAFT Challenge 211- 13th of June - Christmas, sponsor 1 Bugaboo Stamps

Morning All!

It's time again for a new challenge here at CRAFT Challenge. This week we would like you to make a project bearing the below brief in mind

Christmas

So, anything bearing the above in mind will qualify. We can't wait to see what you come up with. This is our monthly Christmas challenge to keep you ahead of your Christmas cards creations. I know I have so far usually left it till the last moment and we thought it might be an idea to keep you ahead of the game this year. It is certainly keeping me on top of getting my Christmas list sorted on time.

Here are some of the cards I created using images from our first sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps, hope you like them. I love these lovely quirky images. I used my own papers for all these cards.

My Memories Monday 3rd of June 2013

Morning all,

Another creation working with My Memories Suite 4. I am starting to find my way around a little better, but it is still early days. This is a little 4x6 I have created with the aim to allow it to be a cardtopper. It uses my new Rhododendron papers as well as a cut out of a rhododendron flower. Feel free to use it for your creations if you like it, but please give credit where credit is due.

My Memories Card Topper 9

Don't forget, you could create things like this yourself with this software, just follow the links to My Memories.com or the one in software or My Memories Suite v4 and by using my code in the discount box on purchasing this software you get a fabulous $10 off this software. That is not to be sneezed at. You can also create your own scrapbook pages, which was what it was initially created for.

In order to get $10 off this great software, copy and paste my code

STMMMS18943

and enter it in the discount slot while purchasing this software. It will take it automatically off the purchase price. It is however only valid for this software and nothing else!

Thanks for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated!

Jo.

Colour combo at CRAFT Challenge, 2 cards for today.

Morning all (if only just),

Hope you are all well and having a lazy and sunny Sunday, like I am having. Remember the colour combo at CRAFT Challenge this week? I have used my new papers from a paper pack using these colours for the cards below. You can find some of these papers as freebies on my digistamp blog if you are interested (as well as the monthly challenge with choose your own freebie).
Just in case you were thinking of entering something into our challenge and did not have any papers to match.

Here are 2 cards I made for 2 separate challenges. The first one is for the Progressive Freebie challenge at CDAC and uses a lovely image by Nana Vics. Hope you like it.

here is the lovely set she offered to use for this challenge:

And here is my second card today. This one is for the Progressive Freebie Challenge at Imagine That!. Kris sent us all another lovely freebie to work with. Guess what? My 10 year old son chose this card to give to his friend today. He is off to his birthday party in about half an hour, so I'd better be quick with this post, lol.
Hope you like this one as well. I will probably be back with some other cards later.

And here is the lovely set Kris sent us to work with

Well, I hope you like my 2 cards today, all comments very welcome and much appreciated. Don't forget my regular freebies and challenge on my digistamp blog.
