Merry Christmas From Crafting for all Seasons

  

Hi everyone, welcome once again, this fortnight we have an anything but a card challenge for you, and the project I have done is something I have wanted to do for a while now. It is a matchbox advent calendar. I used Pool Party card stock along with a matchbox  die to make all the boxes, punching out the half circles from them to be able to open them out, and then glued them together to form a square.  I have used the winter frost designer paper to decorate the sides. The images on the side panel are from Lacy Sunshine, the one is called Snowflake Quality Control, the other is Bubbles skiing, I have used Promarkers to color the images, and then cut them out using a memory box die set which was also used for the border using Silver glimmer paper. The numbers were stamped using Designer Typeset from Stamping Up, the first Photo Polymer set they came out with. Then punched using a 1/2 inch circle punch. The ribbon on the top and bottom is the 3/8 ruffled pool party ribbon from Stampin Up.l  For the top I made the final box and added the lettering dies for the date, and decorated it with a bow, which I also made the foil striped sheet from the designer paper pack.

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a great 2014.

Thanks for looking.

Blog Hop and Challenge

Hi Everyone, wow, over at Come and Get It Challenges, we've been busy beavers. We have a bunch of new sponsors for the challenge and we also have some fabulous new designers, please welcome Barb, Bunny, Jo, and Roberta. 

 It's wonderful news for our challenge. A prize can be won almost every challenge next year. so go and take a look at what's happening. 

This is a month long challenge, to give everyone time to be with their families over the holidays, but we will be back on the 15th as well with some more inspiration from the wonderful Design Team.

For the first image of the hop I have chosen to work with a Saturated Canary Image from Stamp and Create. 

This is Nevaeh, from Saturated Canary, a wonderful image to work with. I've colored her with Promarkers, then I've used my dies from Spellbinders ( scalloped oval), Stampin Up ( oval) , Quilled Creations,( roses and leaves,  Memory Box (corner snowflakes ), and  Taylored Expressions (banner). I've used Pool Party and Smokey Slate card stock, Pool Party seam binding ribbon, and basic pearls from Stampin Up. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions, and the branches from a Martha Stewart punch. The snowflake die was cut from Silver glimmer paper that I colored using a mister filled with Pool Party Ink and Alcohol. Thanks for looking. 

I hope you enjoyed the Hop and that you remembered to pick up the letters needed to spell out the words to win the prizes. My letter is the same as the previous Blog. Thanks for hopping along with us.

Shell's Sketch Challenge

This week at Come and Get It we have a sketch made by Shell, Great Sketch to work with, I used Spice Cake Designer paper by Stampin Up, Gorgeous isn't it, you can download it from MDS still. I used Soft Suede card stock to make the scalloped edge then added Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon, The flower was made using Triple Treat Flower (retired) stamping it in More Mustard, Pool Party and Soft Suede, then punching out the bits I wanted out of each color. The sentiment is from a Word For You set, and then added a brad, which I don't remember when it came out but it is from Stampin Up as well. 

Thanks for looking
