Bah Humbug challenge...

 

The ladies over at Humbug Hall  have set us another lovely challenge this week for our Bah Humbug challenge and this week its 'Kiss-Mas'.

I'd already got this decoupage cut out and it fits the challenge perfectly, not sure where the decoupage came from though.

Backing paper is from my stash, LOTV sentiment, Martha Stewart punch and the ribbon which matches so well I picked up in a garden centre.

Off into town with my Daughter and children, I promised Grace our youngest grandaughter that as soon as she was dry I would buy her a little present so I guess we will be going into toy shops!..

Bah Humbug challenge...

Bah Humbugs challenge for us this week is Recycling/Going Green.  I've managed both on my card as I am so short of time this week so used a re-cylcled image.
Keeping the green theme going I've used spotty paper from Craft Creations, Olive Green card which I have embossed with a mistletoe folder (not that you can see much of of it!) and again a darker green shade of card from S.U.
Ribbon from stash, SU tab punch with computer generated greeting and a few card candy circles.

Bah Humbug Challenge....Metallic

Metallic is our challenge this week from the Bah Humbug team.
It is a change for me not to stamp and so this week I have used a twisted pyramarge image.  I've had for a very long time so not sure where it came from.  THe paper backing is from my stash.  The metallic part of my card is an embossed metallic strip again had it for ages and knew one day I would us it!  Oval Su punches.

Using Doilies is our challenge this week from Bah Humbug.
Found this lovely image that I had already printed off from one of Joanna Sheens CD but I have forgotten which one the image is from...but I am sure someone will tell me?
Image is mounted onto S.U. Not quite Navy card which matches really reall the colours of the image and also the matching background.  The lovely square doily is from ribbonbox they have lots of different shapes so pop over to have a look they look so good on cards.
Just finished off the card with a little bit of ribbon and of course...yes a few pearls!
Oh and I just have to say the 3rd thing to go wrong/break is that my computer chair has fallen to pieces...so for those of you who said things come in 3's are RIGHT.....

Bah Humbug Challenge...

Our challenge this week from Bah Humbug is Christmas Crackers.  Needed to get my thinking head on for this one.  Managed to find this vintage image of two children pulling a cracker.
Backing papers used are from Craft Creations.  The poinsettia was sent to me by my lovely friend Janie she has used a Marianne die and cut the petals out with a velvet fabric, very pretty so 'thank you' Janie.  Punches used, EK sucess swirl and S.U. ovals.

Look what I have won......

As you know I enter a couple challenges every week one of them being Bah Humbug and I have been lucky enough to have won the prize drawer for 2010, just take a look at the picture, am I a lucky girl or what?
It's a great challenge to do and of course every week you are adding to your christmas card pile so you could end up with almost 52 cards for next year so when it resumes in January why not have a go they also have some lovely spot prizes along the way.
Thank you to the DT of Bah Humbug there have been lots and lots of lovely inspirational card over the past year.

Bah Humbug Challenge...

How quickly the weeks are going by and another challenge is upon us. Bah Humbugs challenge for us this week is Fancy Folds. Does anyone remember Lace', we used a metal template and craft knife to cut our shapes, well I found some Star Lace' in my 'bit box' so it was ideal for this weeks challenge. Once the paper has been folded back I've just added a star gem in the centre of the star.
Image is by LOTV....backing paper is from Pebblesinc. called 'Snowy Days'. Image is mounted on a Nellie Snelldon scallop die. Just noticed that my last 3 cards are in 'blue' mode....must make sure I dont use blue for a few days...hee...hee

My friend Jan and I are off to do our first Womens Insitute workshop today, 25 ladies and we have another one on Friday...so a busy week.

Bah Humbug challenge....

Bah Humbugs challenge this week is TEXT. I've used an old PSX stamp. I dug deep into my cupboards and fished out my Radiant Pearls paint pots which are lovely to use so have painted my NOEL with these.
The stripped backing paper and ribbon is from SU, the leaf paper is handmade.
Punches used are EK seccess photo corner, MS snowflake and SU window punch...and I have just noticed that my snowflake on the bottom right hand side isn't straight so I need to rectify that!!
Not feeling too good today so thats my excuse.

Bah Humbug Challenge....

It's nice to be back in my craft room and back to normality. This weeks Bah Humbug challenge is Angels/Fairies. I've used a decoupage this week for a change and mounted it onto nesties.
Backing paper is and olf SU one, Crats too star embossing folder used across the centre. MS snowflake and border punch also used as well as the SU star punch.

Bah Humbug......

Bah Humbugs challenge this week is through the window.
The actual 'window' on this card I made a very long time ago, hence the simple background through the window, a silver pipe cleaner for a christmas tree!
The window was created using an Ornar window template, pricked and window part cut away, then I left a border around the edge so that I could score and turn over to make an border so I could add the tree background The little angel stamps are from 'Judikins', stamped, coloured and then cut out. Pipe cleaner stuck onto white card shaped and stuck down to look like a Christmas tree, angels then put onto sticky pads and the window frame put over the top.
Ribbon added around the side of the window frame. A4 card with christmas backing paper on then I placed my window on top.
Hope this all makes sense!!!

Bah Humbugs challenge this week is 'Less is More', I found it very difficult not using punches, ribbon or embellishments and the card doesn't looked 'finished' off to me..
A very simple card, Cuttblebug snowflake embossing folder background, 2 re-cycled die cut images from a Christmas card and an SU sentiment mounted onto SU oval punches....and thats it....
