Everything's Halloween!

 I have never come across so many Halloween challenges!
There's more to come!
The question is "what on earth am I going to do with all these cards and projects?" LOL
Well - the sweet based ones are an easy answer!!!
The rest I'm not to sure about!

I have entered this into 4 challenges:

Polkadoodles - whose theme is Halloween

Create 4 Fun - whose template I have used to creat this "Fry Box"

Saturday Spotlight - to make "Sweet Treats" container

and

Cute Card Thursday  - sweet candy based projects

Materials Used
Halloween Download from PolkaDoodles.

Man Cards!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - far to many male Birthdays coming up - so I  had a mega session of making "Man" Cards! Probably a mistake cos  - "bring back the glitter and sparkle!",  I'm having withdrawal symptoms!

Thankfully my lovely brand new CD - "Not for Girls" from PolkaDoodles has come in very useful!

This one I am entering for their latest challenge, which is a sketch  - there are 2 circles there if you look hard enough at the card! - little bit of decoupagish!  I also made a box to put it in - I fancied a change from ye olde envelopes!

These are the others I have made - I hope I've not missed anyone out!

Off to do girlie cards now! Glad thats over with! LOL

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge 22

Here's my entry for this weeks SSC.
The theme this week is:

Scallop Mania!

I think I've used a few!!!
All card stock and stamps are from Craftwork cards - this set of stamps are great - soooo glamorous!
Papers are from Polka Doodles CD, Jingle Jangle - I know, I know - they're Christmas Papers - but hey - artistic license and all that!
Gems and ribbon were in my stash - my neat and tidy stash I might add (for now anyhow)
In fact, and here's a confession - I've tidied up so well I cant remember where I've put the envelopes!
I'm sure I'll have an Eureka moment at 2.30am!

Hope everyone had a great Bank Holiday!

Just a quickie today - life has been very stressful these past few days - so much so I didn't even have the mojo to be creative!
Anyhow yesterday a friend asked me to make a card for her God-Daughters birthday, so I sat down and made this, I thought lets make it simple but once you start...........
Now, I know its not a card but I thought it was very girlie.
I hope she approves otherwise its back to making her a card!
All papers and embellies are from Polka Doodles CD's - Candy Doodles and Jingle Jangle.

Off to visit my mother...............we're shopping!!!!

What is a week off for?

Well, we are decorating, the hallway and upstairs landing, and I have to admit, I HATE IT and, so do all the cats, their world has been disrupted. There is a cubby hole at the top of the landing where their beds are and these have had to be moved, this equals 6 not happy at all cats and they are very vocal with it!

Consequently I have not had as much time as I had originally planned this week to play, so I have stomped my feet and had a hissy fit and I have now been assured that I can have the day off tomorrow!!!!

We'll see!

Anyhow I have managed to sneak off this afternoon and make this card for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge which this week is 3D. I decided to try my hand at a pop-up card, I kept it simple as this was a first for me!
This is the front on the left and












this is the inside.

Stamps used - Penny Black, Neighbours, letters and words are from Dimension Fourth.
All papers and stampies are from Polka Doodles CD,s Candy Doodles and Sugar Birdie.

OK - off to make my presence known!

Sour cream containers.

I made these today from ends of A4 DP's that were heading into my scrap box of odds and ends - cant throw anything away!
Soooooooo easy to do and they look cute - they are a little" battered" as I have crammed them full of goodies - 2 of the girlies at work have birthdays coming up and I wanted to give them something handmade!
The tutorial on how to make these sour cream containers is here!
The papers are from Polka Doodles CD's, as are the tags and embellies!

Polka Doodles Challenge 7 August

This weeks challenge is a sketch!
Very round - am not good at round I have to say but I had a go and this is what I came up with using the Sugar Birdies CD.
I decorated the inside too and left my "mark" at the back!












The flower designs on the CD are great!
I used a circle compass cutter on a square card and on the papers - am not that brill at keeping the "thing" still in the centre - and then you have to cover the hole!
Still - it was a sharp learning curve!

Sleep time!
Night all
