TTT tutorial

Do you like our new Top Tip Tuesday challenge blog look? I think it looks very smart indeed. 

It is my turn to host this fortnights challenge and tutorial. 

Out theme is :-

Seasons

We have sponsors

Sweet Stamp Store

and

Birdie Brown

For my tutorial I have used one of Birdie Brown's images Hedgehog and Little Friend. This has lovely autumnal feel, so I used nice warm colours. 

All the pieces below are the components for making a bottle tag.

Pop over to Top Tip Tuesday and see what I did.

Now it's your turn

It was a busy weekend here. We were preparing for the new shower being put in. So all set, I can't wait!

I am having problems with my printer and need new one. Anyone any suggestions on which one will print on card. Also when printing digital images they won't bleed with alcohol markers. I would be grateful of any help.

In between tasks I managed to make this card. Funny how sometimes inspiration comes and you know exactly what to make. 

This one is for Less is More and a couple of other challenges. 

I used Spellbinders curved border, Memory Box trees, Liquid Pearls, glitter & Cuttlebug Dots.

I am entering this card into the following challenges;-

Less is More - Trees

Fussy & Fancy Fridays - Celebration

C.R.A.F.T. - Christmas

Crafty Creations - sparkle & shine

It has been a busy time at work and at home. I am about to train in a new job at work as of Monday, kind of looking forward to it. At home I am preparing to have a new shower installed. The old one bit the dust so we decided to do away with the bath and install a shower cubicle. I can't believe the upset this has caused in the whole house. Anyway enough of the boring stuff...

My card is using Penny Black Caroling Hedgehogs. I love this stamp.

I also used PM letters, Fiskers snowflakes, Promarkers, Stickles, Spellbinders curve border. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

A quick post. I have missed so many challenges lately. I seem to chase my tail every day and week. It would be so nice to have a day to myself but that's not going to happen!

This card is made from a new Penny Black stamp I got a few weeks ago.

Check out the teams different ideas for inspiration. 

I have been a very bad blogger lately. No excuses, just very busy. I have been crafting, trying to make Christmas cards and finish orders. Birthdays in our family just take off in the next month or so. 

For this card I used the sketch from Mojo Monday. A very simple card that can be made quickly. I think this may be a winner this year if time gets very short. I do like Poinsettias and this die can be used for other flowers too. Though technically it is really a brack. I have managed to nurture my poinsettia from last Christmas and I am hopeful it will flower again this year. If it does I will photograph it. 

I used Marianne dies. Craft Creation and Dovecraft papers & Cuttlebug swirls.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Mojo Monday - sketch

As you Like It - Favourite flowers or trees

She is so cute and ideal for this technique.

All very simple to make this card. I used Nesties and embossing the edges, Memory Box star garland, Sizzix stars, Stickles and Promarkers. 

My papers were a freebie. The edge of the card is stamped with a S for Stamps stamp.

Come join in the fun and create a paper pieced project.
