Funky Friday

I know it should now be Funky Sunday but I haven't known what day it's been all week, I've thought it has been Saturday since Thursday!!! Hubby works a lot at this time of year and mix that with my 18 and 19 hour days at the mo and it sort of throws one a bit :)

I had a slight accident this morning too. I'm working on a largish project for my first post on the new look Get Funky blog which is now called Get Funky & Craft! I got myself to a strategic point this morning and photographed the pieces I'd done and moved them off my desk onto my open top drawer which, at the moment is an extension of my desk.....and promptly tipped my coffee everywhere. It missed my lap top, thank goodness, but went all over me and some jewellery components which were on my desk so I had to move everything to mop up and clean the desk down. I'm just thankful that I moved my mystery project :)

My cards this week were made on Thursday ready to go out on Friday as part of an order for 21 assorted cards.

Papers used are from the fabulous new Christmas down load section of the Funky Hand web site and all of the images are from last year's Christmas section which are on the Twelve Crafters Crafting cd

That's it for this evening folks. i'm up at  six and have another busy day ahead of me so I will playcatch up shortly.
Take care and thanks for reading.

Happy Birthday, Son

Good morning all, I hope you haven't been too confused by the clocks going back.....I forgot to set my watch so I was out of bed at 8.30, which doesn't sound too bad but it was actually 7.30! On a Sunday morning! The only time I'm up at that time on a Sunday is when I do a wedding fayre lol

My son's birthday cards as promised,

 

No new papers were harmed in the making of these cards, the papers are all from my "leftovers box".
Ingredients on the first card are the image is from Lil of the Valley and the sentiments are from Craftwork Cards

On the second card, the image is again a precoloured image from Lili of the Valley(see link above) and the spotty paper is by Craftwork cards. The buttons and twine are from my stash.

The sentiment and paper on the bottom card is a mag freebie by Pink Petticoat and the card candy is from Craftwork Cards

As I also said yesterday it is my turn to add my 'makes' to the Get Funky! challenge today. The challenge is set by Amanda and this is her brief

"Christmas is all about the kids

so that's what I am setting for this month's theme.

Anything Christmassy for a child.  It can be anything you want........a card, a gift, a layout, a decoration ~ whatever your imagination can come up with."

I made a gift bag from a brown envelope and card and I will be adding a tutorial to my blog for the gift bag (they are so simple to make).

Don't forget to check out Kathy's new Facebook page, a Card a Day, you are all invited to join us.

Back soon and thanks for dropping by.

ICS

Last week's challenge on the ICS blog was sponsored by DZ Doodles who gave us all a box template to work with. I made my box to match the card I made for last week's Kathy's Waffle challenge

As before, the papers are by K & Co and the flowers are Prima and others.

This week on ICS we have a gorgeous sketch by my team mate Stacy.....her work is absolutely amazing so pop over and take a look for yourself. Dawn has put up some blog candy for the winner of the challenge.

Everything (apart from the Sizzix snowflake die which I bought a few weeks ago) is from the stock I bought last year. I'm on a mission this year to try to use up all of last years Christmas stuff, so we'll see how it goes.

We would love you to join in with our challenges and share your work with us.

Tfl, have a good day.

New digi stamps

My card uses the "Christmas Mascot", one of the new digi stamps from DewDrop Crafts Isn't she sweet?

There are more super cute images on the web site and there is a 30% discount if you spend over £5.00 before midnight tonight...........what are you waiting for?

And while you are over there, take a little peek at the challenge and banish those winter blues :)

I have another couple of DT cards to make so will be back soon.

Take care and thanks for looking. xx

Exploding box

I managed this whilst looking after a friend's salon this week. It was ordered by a friend of a friend whose son had been travelling with his girlfriend and missed Christmas, Easter and their birthdays, hence all the different themes running through the box :)

Assorted bits and pieces and assorted papers are from my stash!

I took an order yesterday for three cards to be delivered on Monday and my desktop is littered with challenges and templates so I shall now see if I can use some for the cards. I have mum and dad coming for lunch tomorrow but should be able to craft tomorrow evening too and the salon isn't open on Monday so I get all day to catch up with my work....................then play :)

See you soon.
