CHNC challenge 619 for 5 November 2022 - something beginning with the letter H

 A new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme "something beginning with H"

Do pop over and see the fabulous inspiration from my teamies!

I decided to go with H for Holly. I started with a bronze card blank matted with gold holly paper. I cut a tree shape from this and behind I put a piece of paper that I had stencilled with green through a holly stencil. Inside the tree shaper shape I put gold stars. The sentiment is a piece of confetti too.

Happy Crafting!

WOYWW #700

   

Wednesday again, so I am linking to the Stamping Ground. 

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #700

Wow! 700 posts!

Anyway here's my worktable - Sophie and I were playing with watercolours and inks.

Last week on my desk you saw part of an altered book - here it is with a small selection of my Halloween stuff... You can see a set of ATCs that have just been returned as a swap...the coffin I painted and the witch I added, my Halloween album...

The book ended up like this:

The witch is pretty special as it belonged to my Mum.

And if you haven't seen this year's Halloween album anywhere else here it is:

This is the final view of my album.

So Halloween is over so I can start on Christmas. I have lots of cards to make, but this week I decorated an Advent Calendar:

The baubles in front are also pretty special as they are some that used to hang on Mum's tree and before that my grandmothers' dating back to the late 1800s.

Anyway, all for now - see you next week...

Happy WOYWW!

12 Months of Christmas November 2022 Challenge #94. Patterned Paper.

  

    

This is my DT make for the November Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Patterned Paper"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Here is my card:

I have used two papers from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles and a layer of red on a white card blank. 

I die cut a circle from the topmost paper so that I could add the shaker element, containing Christmas confetti.

Patterned Paper Challenge - November 2022

 

Here is my make as part of the Design Team of

 Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge!!

a monthly challenge to encourage crafters to use their patterned paper

My card today is a hanging window card.

The current theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #175 is  H for Hanging Window Card

 and she gives instructions on how to make one here. 

This is the wheel - and colours

I have tried to use all the colours, the die cut circle is heat embossed in clear and my butterflies are fabric... I have used several patterned papers!

I will link this to Butterfly Challenge #175 using all the elements from the wheel.

Hope you will join in with the Patterned Paper challenge!

Happy Crafting!
