Good Morning all and welcome to another challenge over at Allsorts,

The challenge this week has been set by the lovely Tracy and it is......

Lets Celebrate...

and we are Celebrating over at Allsorts as it is our 400th challenge.

We have three prizes this week as it is a special week.

Tattered Lace Baby Blue die cutting machine

and two more prizes

Wish I could enter.

But here is my DT card.

Honey Doo Crafts stamp.

Sentiment - Woodware 

Papers very old SU.

The gems were coloured in the same as the grapes but certainly does not look like it.

Please do pop over to the DT blog to see the lovely makes from my fellow team mates.
Thank you for calling and any comment you are kind enough to leave.
Have a good week.

Rudolph Day January 2017

Doesn't seem two minutes since it was January 2016 and we are now on the first Rudolph Day challenge of 2017 over at Scrappy MO's

This little fellow made his first appearance on our Allsorts challenge on the 31st December where the challenge was something new, as he was then.

Well he is back again with another design of card.

While I was at it I made a few more.

So there are six in all.

The embossing folder has no name as they were sent to me by a lovely blogging Friend, quite some time ago actually but I had forgotten where I had put them but while hunting for some other lost item, I came across them and decided to use them for this image.

I dabbed glitter glue over the leaves, which is not good for a photo but I hope you get the idea.

The Robin is part of a set by Hobby Art and yes he will be appearing again later on.

I actually stamped the wings again and paper pieced them to give a bit of a lift but to be honest it didn't make too much difference.

Sentiment - Peel off.

I suppose it sounds like my craft room is a bit of a tip but it isn't really, I just move things around and swop them from one place to another that I forget where I have put them.

Allsorts challenge week 399 - Daisy Daisy

Our prize this week is this lovely stamp set by John Lockwood/Creative Expressions

The lovely Wendy has chosen the theme this week, and she would like to see Daisies on your cards.

I have used a die set from the English Country Garden.

The rest of the elements are from my ever increasing collection of things I have had for quite some time. Trying not to buy new stuff but use old stuff, so far so good, well it  has been 20 days now into the New Year so I think I have done well.

The flowers are all die cut from my huge box of snippets of white card and coloured with chalks so this card will be heading into Pixie's Snippets Playground.

Have a good week.

This card is for the current challenge at Stamping Sensations which is

Coffee and Cream.

I am also entering it into Pixies Snippets Playground where, as always, it is Anything Goes as long as you use snippets.

I have used Penny Black 4160K - Cheerful.
The papers and ribbon are old SU.
Sentiment Craftwork Cards
Corner die is Pierson Corner by Memory Box.

My snippet is the paper that the flower and the die were stamped and cut on.
I stamped the image twice and cut out, laid one down flat then raised the other one
Button from collection.
Thank so much for calling.

Allsorts challenge week 397 - Cats or Dogs

Susan has chose the challenge this week which is to use an image of either a cat or a dog or even both.

Our lovely sponsors this week are

Digi Stamp Boutique

and Sizzix

with this fabulous prize for one lucky winner.

Here is my card.

I have used a Penny Black stickeroo for my image and sentiments.

This is for one 9 year old who loves dogs and flowers, hence the flowers from Hobby House on the ribbon.

Backing card and ribbon SU.

Oh by the way I have found my lost Christmas die, that I used on last weeks card, it was under my old cutting mat!

Thank you for calling and for any message you are kind enough to leave.
Have a great week.

Allsorts challenge - week 396 - Something New

Not something Old, Borrowed or  Blue but something New

That is the choice of the lovely Mervi who is hosting this weeks challenge at Allsorts.
Maybe it is some lovely goodies you have received for Christmas or something that you have not used before, or even a new Baby, Home, quite a few options available for you.

Our sponsor this week is Tattered Lace with this lovely die.


Here is my card.

The gorgeous Robin image is from a set of three from Hobby Art.

Round Robins - new for Christmas

The die is from Memory Box, bought just before Christmas at 50% off, and not used before, and now I can not find it anywhere?? 

The die has been cut in Platinum glitter card, which is really NBUS.

The sentiment is a peel off, coloured red, which certainly does not look like it.

Sorry it is a Christmas card but all my new stuff has been Christmas related.

It was really very difficult to photo, tried numerous times and either the Robin suffered or the glitter card suffered.

Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and wish you 

A Happy and Healthy 2017.

My New Year's resolution is that I am NOT buying anything at all for crafting that is Christmas related, so don't anyone tempt me.
