Pollycraft Monday #125 - Favourite Things!

Well today started with me getting up late for work and I've been late for everything all day - including posting this lol!

Loved looking at all your "warm" creations last week, just as well it's blooming freezing here just now - boys are desperately hoping for snow!

This week the luscious Lou has set the theme of:

FAVOURITE THINGS

This could be your favourite colours, image, papers, etc - you get the idea!

Here is my creation which represents one of my favourite hobbies (after crafting natch!) which is reading and includes all my favourite stash items: buttons, charms, flowers, ribbons and pearls!

The image is Pollycraft's Sonny Honeycloud coloured with Promarkers (also a fav!). The papers (Crate Paper Neighbourhood) and sentiment are from Crafty Emma's Store who just happens to be our sponsor this week:

Who is offering the lucky winner £10 voucher (not incl P&P) to spend - and there are some delish new products on order - you will be spoilt for choice!

Also, from this challenge onwards, if you use a Pollycraft image and get picked as a favourite, you get to choose another Pollycraft image free!

So, please do check out my very talented teamies blogs and I hope we inspire you to join us this week!

CES Challenge #69 - Anything but a Card!

Good morning - sorry this is a bit late - my internet access gave up the ghost last night! I loved all your vintage creations from last week, they have given me some great ideas!

This week's challenge has been set by Shell and is:

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

While I love making cards I do like making little gifts from my stash so this one only uses bits and pieces!

For these I used photo clips - I think these were out of Ikea but I've had them for ages and can't remember! It was really easy - I just made rough circles from paper then layered them up using buttons and charms to finish off! I attached the flowers to the clip by using Glossy Accents which seem to hold quite well.

For these ones I used Basic Grey "Out of Print", buttons and twine from Crafty Emma's Store.

For these ones I used MME "Hattie" papers also from Crafty Emma's Store.

So this week's winner will receive £10 voucher (not incl P&P) for Crafty Emma's Store:


We mustn't forget to mention the massive clearance sale currently on at Crafty Emma's Store...plus there is 30% off 6x6 Papers, Card Candi, Ribbons, Hero Arts, Inkadinkado & Whiff Of Joy Stamps. Emma has lots of new stock on order and when you pre-order the new paper pads you can receive a voucher code with your delivery for 20% off your next order! Make sure you check out the new products and pre-order sections of the shop so that you don't miss anything!

Please do check out my teamies fab creations on their blogs - I hope we inspire you to join us this week!

Pollycraft Monday #123 - BINGO!

Gosh, is it really Monday already? Why does midweek seem sooo long yet the weekend goes in a flash??

It was cold yesterday but the boys and I braved Stirling Castle in the afternoon - it was great, the boys loved going into all the nooks and crannies in search of treasure! Wish I still had my imagination! Afterwards we were forced to go to Dobbies Garden Centre for a restorative cuppa (and cake) and the new Papermania Portobello Road collection just leapt into my basket!!!!

So, onto this week's little challenge which has been set by Cazza and is:

BINGO!

I love these types of challenges - the hardest bit is deciding which line to use! You can go horizontal, vertical or diagonal - the choice is yours.

Here is my card, using the smoldering Maurice:

Bingo line used: Ribbon, Butttons and Die Cuts

The papers are WRMK Travel Light which came free with a craft mag, the buttons and ribbon are from stash and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards.

The winner of this challenge will receive 10 digi images from Pollycraft:

So please do check out my very gorgeous teamies creations on their blogs and I hope we inspire you to join us this week!

Vintage Dahling! CES Challenge #68

Good morning all - thank goodness it's the weekend again! Been a tiring first week back to work but at least it pays the pennies for crafty stash!!

Over at CES this week it's my turn to set the theme so I have picked:

VINTAGE DAHLING

Recently I have found that I quite like the whole vintage craft vibe that's going around - I've been raiding charity shops for buttons and lace and other crafty bits and bobs! Ebay is also pretty good for vintage items as well.

The winner of this challenge will win a £10 voucher (not incl P&P) for Crafty Emma's Store.

Here is my card:

From Crafty Emma's Store I've used Prima "Printery" papers, twine, card candi and the card blank.

Ebay provided the cameo and image; the charms, lace and flowers were lurking in my stash.

So please do join check out my teamies vintage makes and I hope we inspire you to join us this week!
