ANYTHING GOES CSF CHALLENGE

This is my small effort for the Anything goes Callenge on Craft swap forum. this quarter is animals. as i was having problems downloading onto the forum Bucket, thought i would put it in my blog. originally i was going to attempt an exploding box. but made a baby box for my brand new Great nephew instead. and thought this little mouse stamp set i bought recently would be good to use, as the theme is animals. i have stamped the mouse onto various textures and colours of card then layered each cut out section over the top. i have her holding a needle as she is busy sewing a wee piece of work. i stamped and enbossed the leaf pattern then stitched a few of the leaves to help Mrs Mouse with her stitching. boy has she been a busy wee mouse.

Baby Dylan Brian

Well folks! here he is. my first great nephew, he is called Dylan Brian after his dad. this is the wee smasher i made the baby box for. he is just gorgeous. but then, i am a bit bias.

DECO CARD

I love art deco and wanted to do a card in this style. this was a cd i bought and decided to make multiple copies of the image and decoupage. the tricky bit was the fern and trellis behind the ladies, by the time i was finished there were quite a few layers. but i liked the overall look, and dimention to the image. yes, i can say i was pleased with it when it was finished.

Exploding Baby Boxes

this is my first ever exploding boxes, they are baby boxes. a fellow crafter gave me a pattern for the boxes and the shoes, which i had not tried before. after solving a problem i had with the shoes, they gave me the idea for the boxes. actually my neice just had the families first grandchild, so wanted to make something special for the baby, and thought about doing a baby box. that one was in blue. I then thought about going to local shops to sell them for me. they were well received, one shop asked me for boys and girls. i have done the girls in Pink and gold, and the boys in Blue and silver. my local flower shop, are displaying them for sale for me. more pennies equals more stash. Yipee! we all love more stash.

Card

This is a card my friend asked me to make for her mum. i miniturizes images which i then decoupaged, put into aperture cards with bubble fronts and made shaker cards.

i cut out the lettering and added some bling to the letters. finishing off with a cut out flower. which i secured together using a brad. thats a couple of cards i have made using these sorts of colours and i like them. i used to always chalk my card fronts. but the papers give quite an effect. good job too, i have hoarded sooo much paper, thought i better start using it.

Baby Card

these were 2 cards i made for my neighbour. her son's wife had just given Birth to their first grandchild, and i thought i would make a card for Isabella and one for her son. i decoupaged the images and made shaker cards putting the babies name inside the apeture window. these were the first baby cards i have ever made. so it was a challenge for me. at least i can say i have made a baby card now.

Craft Box

This is a wee craft box i made for Calvin. i have got him interested in crafting. so for his birthday i bought him a lot of craft stuff. so thought i would make him a box to put his stash in. he loved it. especially the stamps, inks scissors and gems i put inside. well thats another crafter been introduced to the club.
Happy crafting Calvin.
