Blog Hop & Special Blog Candy

On the 1st February there will be a very special ‘One Off Challenge’………with some rather special candy as the main prize. No ordinary candy I can tell you, but a really serious piece of equipment that all of us would love to have in our craft rooms.

I know Brenda can tease and she will be sharing some sneak peeks of the prizes on offer over the next three weeks........yes ‘prizes’ because as well as the main challenge prize, there will be runners up prizes and a Blog Hop with prizes to be won at each stopping point. And Brends will also be sharing details of the wonderful sponsors of this challenge and some exciting news about them as well.

But Brenda needs you all to help her spread the word and make this as much fun as possible for everyone ........and there is even a prize for doing that. Does this all sound fun or what ? Pop over Brenda's blog - Floral Fantasies for all the nitty gritty of how to take part.

Christmas Night

I created this scene by taking two of the corner drawings from Lilly-Boo's Boutique and joining them together. I put them into a photo-editing program and flipped one of the images and then placed one behind the other. Once I had them overlapping in a suitable position I grouped the images and then resized them to fit in a 8" x 8" black card from Craftworkcards.

I coloured the images in which were from the Christmassy Corner Collection over at Lilly-Boo's Boutique with Promarkers imaganing the light source to be fairly central.

I then found on my Cricut Christmas cart the moon and the santa sleigh. I cut the moon from some scrap yellow card and then the sleigh is cut in Bazzil Black Tie and outlined with a shadow cut in white.

Rose Invitation

Just a quick post of an invitation I have done for a friend's daughter's 13th Birthday. Her name is Rose. Inside was the details of the day with a tear off portion for the reply. The Roses are from the Indie Cricut Cart and just have the base and one layer of petals, highlighted with glitter and the centres are silver card candy stuck with silicone glue.
