When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin' along...

This is the photo for the Catch the Bug January Photo Inspiration Challenge

and this weekend is the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch

I have just spent an hour watching the birds visiting my garden - and yes along came a robin!

This Challenge has also reminded me that I haven't made a Christmas Card yet this year -

I usually try to make three a week as then I do not have to go bananas in October.

Last year it was easier as I was on a Christmas Card DT - but this year I'm not so no reminders!!

Anyway here is my first Christmas card of 2015...

I have used Bugaboo's Scene-It - Snowmen fun - can you spot the robin?

I coloured it with Promarkers and Ice Stickles.

The DP is from Docrafts Papermania First Noel and I added a staple embellishment.

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash - Friday

So I've made it all week!!

Today the Challenge is Recipes.

I decided on Corn Dogs - use a food stamp!

I am using Cup cake word block

I saw this sketch at Friday Sketch

Here's my version:

I started with a square white card blank and added DP as shown (just from my stash)
I coloured the image with Promarkers and the sentiment is a staple embellishment.

Very quick and easy!!

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash #6

The Thursday Challenge is Send in the Clowns.

Happy 5th Birthday Bugaboo!
I decided to use Clown Numbers 5

This is based on the sketch from Creative moments

I used scraps from my stash and Promarkers.
 The sentiment is a staple embellishment and then just some bling...

Friday ATC

At one time I always used to make an ATC on Fridays - and this is what I have done today...

The current Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge

is Pink and Black and White.

I chose to use cerise pink:

I started with a 2.5 by 3.5 rectangle of cardstock from DCWV Rockstar Mat Stack.

The image is Dilly Beans Martin's Heart witha  touch of Promarker..

You know those annoying ribbons you find in new clothes to hang them? I always cut them out - and that pink ribbon is one such!

The buttons - well they were from Crawford Market in Mumbai - what a shame I can't go back there again!

LOC #62

The Challenge that starts to today at Left of Center is to use 3 or more layers.

It is sponsored by That Craft Place

 and I used For You by Kelly Rhodes

I coloured the image with Promarkers and matted and layered it using scraps from my stash.

I started with a tall rectangular card blank and just added a little ribbon.
I will link this card to Crafting By Designs AG for January
