One colour a lot of shades....

Yes peeps, it´s time for a new challenge over at

CRAFTY CATZ

We had some lovely entries to our Winter fantasy - use a fairy - challenge last week! Thank you all for playing!

This weeks theme is picked by our talented Naomi and she want to see a lot of different shades of the same colour, with other words the theme is

MONOCHROME

We got a lovely sponsor this week, a big thank you to

Delicious Doodle

prize...... 4 images of winners choice

I have used one of the images they sponsored us with and made this card

I used some enamel embossing powder to add glitter, you can´t see so well but it´s blue in it (called antique navy). I also used big blue buttons and then added some cute little pearl stars on top of them.

think it will fit perfect to wish someone a Happy New Year, or for a party invitation or a Thank you card after a party...

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

Craft your passion #197 - Face the music (This image makes me think of Frank Sinatra and his great singing and dancing)
Hobby Cutz #32 - Lots of layers

Use a doily....

Hi again ... hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday! I have done some shopping and trying to shift my craft room with our bigger work room. It´s a huge process but I sure it will all be worth it when I´m in. Just a bit hard to craft in the mess, lol!

Today is the starting date for a new challenge over at

Ruby´s Rainbow

Ruby's Rainbow

It´s our talented Helen P who has picked the theme for this fortnight. She want to see us:

USE A DOILY

For this you may use paper doilies or make your own from using a die.

Don't forget you can make anything you like as we are a multi crafts challenge so long as you keep to the theme, that could be Cards, Scrapping, Tags, Fat pages, Atcs, Knitting etc.

I made this card with material from En Liten Butik, check out their blog later this week to find out what I used...

I used my doily behind this cute hippo from Pollycraft. I coloured with my ProMarkers and Faber Castell pencils.

I used both white and pink Enamel powder to make the glimmer spots on the blue paper and also to cover all of the heart...

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

A day late...

but don´t forget that Digi Darla has a new challenge running...

This week´s theme is

"Alphabet Challenge" Super fun and easy! A is for apple, B is for ball .. you get the idea, right?
I picked G and have used Digi Darla´s Golf Putter Black
and this is what I made:

I used stains and coloured the whole image and then added some enamuel powder to light it up a bit. Used some old papers from Graphic 45 and Prima. Think the Prima papers pattern look like golf balls, right? Used a white brad to make the "golf ball" pop out of the image. And than added some whashi tape and some staplers. Will probably add a Happy Birthday or You are a star or some other sentiment later when I know who is going to receive it.

So G is for golf, green and glitter....
I would like to add this card into following challenges: Dream Valley Challenge #73 - Boy´s/Men and DT call A Gem of A Challenge #111- For the Boys Stampin with the Dragon - Anything Goes 4 Crafty Girls #9 - Anything Goes Charisma Cardz #2 - its a boy thing

To a garden lover....

Well I actually found a little bit of scrap time this weekend and made this little Birthday Card to someone who loves gardening.

So I picked paper with flowers and a lot of pretty flowers as embellishment!

Hope you like it....

I played along with a pretty sketch that I found at Hanna and Friends.

I have colour with my ProMarkers and Faber Castell pencils. The image is from NutCrafters.

I have stitched around each square with my sewing machine. I punched out this pretty butterfly and stuck three of them on top of each other to make it more 3-d.

I used a lot of pretty flower, bling and pearls around the image. I like the purple flower. Didn´t have a flower in the right colour so I took a white one and use Distress Stains and then some Frantage on top of it. Came out really cool a think...

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:

I finally had a full week of work. Feels good, got a lot of things done and new plans made... Great! But I was so tiered yesterday and it´s probably not so strange... first work week in nearly 7 weeks!

Today is Friday and I have a brand new challenge to share with you from

The theme picked by our lovely Anna is so perfect for this season

WINTER FANTASY

(use a fairy)

We got wonderful Fitztown with us this week as sponsor for our challenge

PRIZE.....3 digis of their choice

I made this card and used one of the stamps that were provided by Fitztown - thank you!

I used a paper from BoBunny, since it looked so wintery to me. I thought the cute little bird houses would look neat with some other elements to make a wintery scene.

I used a dies from Marianne Design and cut out the tree and the leaves under the flowers also used a dies from Cheery Lynn to cut out some different shaped snowflakes.... I have scraped the edges of the paper too...

I have used my ProMarkers and Faber Castell pencils to colour in this pretty fairy. Also used a lot of silver stickles on her wings to make them shimmer and a few rhinestones on the snowflakes.

All material come from my local scrap shop - Scrapbutiken
