Good morning everyone....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've had a lovely weekend, I was working most of it, so I haven't had a chance to craft. I'm working today too, so play time will have to wait until tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't had a chance to catch up on my blogging but I'm hoping to visit you in the middle of the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a little inspiration from The Hobby House. It's using another of their lovely toppers. So handy when you're pressed for time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeu8xAZzan83ky1ChkCpKWkW5lDXWtk87QNMsHEGfKWMogKdfJbQB-rGe4nqlDBhyphenhyphend9ypvWrAVnArtpQd-JolhyT9ZT-0IpxFebnIgUb_sypZJg2sL_Kz-6zoYdnQjAG064Qb_X043mgNW/s1600/Shelley+1+Apr14.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeu8xAZzan83ky1ChkCpKWkW5lDXWtk87QNMsHEGfKWMogKdfJbQB-rGe4nqlDBhyphenhyphend9ypvWrAVnArtpQd-JolhyT9ZT-0IpxFebnIgUb_sypZJg2sL_Kz-6zoYdnQjAG064Qb_X043mgNW/s1600/Shelley+1+Apr14.JPG" height="345" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base has been cut using a Go Kreate Frilly #10 die and covered with papers from Raspberry Road's Timeless Victorian paper collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've cut cream card out with a variety of dies and edged them with vintage photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dies : DooHickey Events Flag & Dragonflies and Marianne Design Craftables CR1245.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The little sentiment on the flag is from a Whimsy stamp collection called Treasured Moments Tickets. These are available from The Hobby House along with the mulberry roses and cherry blossoms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a close up of the lovely Hobby House topper. They're just so easy to use and give great results.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've used a double layer of die cut for the dragonflies and flags to give them a little dimension, you can just about see it from this angle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a lovely weekend.</div>

Good morning everyone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're having a lovely day and enjoying the sunshine. It's school holidays and spring is definitely in the air. Unfortunately I no longer get the school holidays off with my new job, but because it's shifts I'll still be able to spend some time with my family :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a new challenge over at </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gone for a spring feel using one of The Hobby House's new toppers. I've used 'Emily' from the Little Friends topper by Wee Stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm still settling into my new job and have lots of training to do so craft time is sparse. I've been using lots of these lovely toppers, but am really missing my colouring. I signed up for the Kit and Clowder online classes but haven't managed to start yet :-(</div>

Good morning everyone ....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a very long time since I last posted and visited your blogs :-(<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the last month I have been working my notice at my old part-time job and working some shifts in my new (almost) full-time job. I have now finished at my old work place and am settling into my new role, however, there's lots to learn and lots of training. I've been job hunting for the past 6 months, so with all that behind me I'm hoping that over the coming weeks I'll be able to do a bit more crafting and visit you more often :-)<br />
<br />
So on to our new challenge over at <a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Divas by Design</a><br />
and we're looking for<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Buttons and Bows</span><br />
<br />
We're sponsored this week by <span style="font-size: large;">Iva Nova Chest</span><br />
<br />
<br />
For my little bit of buttons and bows inspiration I've used a <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/">Hobby House</a> topper from the Wee Stamps sheet <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/die-cut-card-toppers-c46/wee-card-toppers-by-sylvia-zet-c47/the-hobby-house-wee-stamps-rosetta-p1844">Rosetta</a> to make my card.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The doily is a Cheery Lynn die 'English Tea Party' and I've also used the DooHickey 'Heart Swirl Branch'. The flowers are a mixture of WOC and The Hobby House. For the bow I've used ribbon from Mei Flower and tied the bow with my Bow-It-All.</div>

I've got a few cards to show you that I've made for DT challenges and just not had enough time to blog, so I'll be showing those over the next couple of weeks.</div>

Good morning...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back with a little Hobby House inspiration for you today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZuxKsIHRaNruVTuAot0WVxhJr-KPs_w794uTJGH__WcKQQUbMUNbvQ1sN3XsgTvY1XlMds6n8qxVxpBSjXNgbMJi7jmNE4f2crNz5G6V_20rt3uYbo7P9NiFXSeUIZM8giFwINa0TuUU/s1600/Bluebell+Wood+1+Jan14.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnZuxKsIHRaNruVTuAot0WVxhJr-KPs_w794uTJGH__WcKQQUbMUNbvQ1sN3XsgTvY1XlMds6n8qxVxpBSjXNgbMJi7jmNE4f2crNz5G6V_20rt3uYbo7P9NiFXSeUIZM8giFwINa0TuUU/s1600/Bluebell+Wood+1+Jan14.JPG" height="582" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image is from the Bluebell Wood topper sheet available at The Hobby House. These toppers are so useful when you don't have the time to colour up an image for a card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card base is a Go Kreate Filly #5 XXL Die and is covered with Nitwits 'Petal Fresh' papers. I don't normally work with blues but really love the crisp fresh look it's given.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dies are Marianne Creatables English Rose, La La Land Folding Banner, Die-namics Rolled Daisy and Memory Box's Small Pinwheel Posie and Joy Crafts 6003/0023 Butterfly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The blue brad, flatback pearls, white cherry blossoms and ribbon are all available from The Hobby House.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here's a close up of that cute topper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a lovely day and thank you for visiting.</div>

Good morning crafting friends, I hope you have a lovely weekend planned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to remind you that we're half way through our February challenge so you still have plenty of time to enter our current challenge, which is a nice easy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anything Goes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MTBaeAcA2Kg/UsU2y7euKBI/AAAAAAAABBw/H_wEvgkDXfM/s320/%25C2%25A325+product+voucher.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used the pretty new topper by Elizabeth Bell called 'Quiet Moments'. They're a lovely combination os pinks, browns and greens - my favourite!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh02RazaJ40NF_kNf6v3DfvSmL2L2LqEctOglIqlXgLlYEus3nL8CMrT1PlD8lYH_lutacWktQzoO-hV3bVUTw_pq20gYawD_BSyk1oArdwfM2Q8OqoJnUzNVT4x1FsCIIXZHqmf-KR_qcG/s1600/Quiet+Moments+1+Jan14.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh02RazaJ40NF_kNf6v3DfvSmL2L2LqEctOglIqlXgLlYEus3nL8CMrT1PlD8lYH_lutacWktQzoO-hV3bVUTw_pq20gYawD_BSyk1oArdwfM2Q8OqoJnUzNVT4x1FsCIIXZHqmf-KR_qcG/s1600/Quiet+Moments+1+Jan14.JPG" height="548" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are Nitwits 'Always and Forever' and have been matted onto kraft. The pretty double bow has been made on my bow-it-all (my new favourite gadget) using Hobby House ribbons and a pearl medallion. Unfortunately the photo doesn't really show up the pearl swirl very well. I've also used HH vintage lace and roses as well as flatbacked pearls on the corners.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is such a pretty topper set and just right for spring, which is hopefully just around the corner.</div>

Good morning blogging friends...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well it's already half way through the week - I can't believe it, but that means it's time for another new challenge over at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: large;">Divas by Design</span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this weeks new challenge is all ready for those Valentine cards you've been making. The theme is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With Love</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it can be anything to do with Love. It doesn't have to be a Valentine it could be Weddings or Anniversaries, anything to do with Love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My card today has been made using Heart Key Marci from La La Land and I've used lots of new La La Land dies which I bought recently too. I really enjoyed making it and I hope my DH will like it when he receives it on Friday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The design papers are Pion's 'Roses' and all the dies have been edged with vintage photo. On the lace I stuck little rhinestones to give it a bit more bling and the little hearts were leftovers from some die cuts which I coloured with Copics. The big red heart is a button I found in my stash and the roses are from <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/">The Hobby House.</a></div>

Hello blogging friends....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all having a lovely weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sun is shining here which makes a nice change from all that rain we've been having recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My card today is one of two which appeared in last months Papercraft Essentials and was showcased on the Wee Stamps facebook page yesterday. I was so excited to see my first cards published - Wow my minute of fame, lol!</div>

I was really pleased with how this card turned out and Wee Stamps 'Love Me Do' was such a joy to colour. Aren't they just so cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base of the card was cut with a Go Kreate Frilly #5 XXL die and covered with Nitwits 'Always and Forever' papers. I've used a mixture of Hobby House roses and WOC flowers teamed with some flat pearls and a pearl string.</div>

Good morning ...<br />
<br />
It's almost the weekend, I hope you've got something nice planned. I'm off with my son to a swimming gala on Sunday so I'll probably be doing all my chores on Saturday :-(<br />
<br />
I'm back today to show you a little Hobby House inspiration. Our challenge this month is to<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Use Ribbon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
I have used Wee stamps Love Trip.<br />
The card has been made using a Whimsy die called Double Scallop Doily Die which I threaded the ribbon through. I got this cool idea from <a href="http://rinchak.blogspot.co.uk/">Dorinda</a> who posted her tag on facebook. That got me thinking that I could use my die to make a circular card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7PwW98zyatZn0frvcWqI1jA4J8xt7j-9aee9YWIOZP1vThmZeb7K3tye6RT_Sa7HsgFcLiqKi6xmg_-qat413fV-cLwQIVe8TGGLifYiiUhwVchMCswMeEAA2zyObAGFZ8ay_qDGcGM1P/s1600/Love+Trip+2+Jan14.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7PwW98zyatZn0frvcWqI1jA4J8xt7j-9aee9YWIOZP1vThmZeb7K3tye6RT_Sa7HsgFcLiqKi6xmg_-qat413fV-cLwQIVe8TGGLifYiiUhwVchMCswMeEAA2zyObAGFZ8ay_qDGcGM1P/s1600/Love+Trip+2+Jan14.JPG" height="320" width="319" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image has been coloured with my usual copics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When life slows down a bit (lol) I'm going to have another go with my distress inks. I love the soft effect of these but at the moment I don't get the same results and haven't got the time to throw away half coloured images.</div>

Here's a picture of the lovely Hobby House ribbon bow. I've just treated myself to a Bow-It-All using some Christmas money and it's so much easier than wrapping it around your fingers to make the bow! Here I've made a double layered double bow.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having seen some of their projects I thought I would try something other than a card and this is what I came up with!</div>

I made a shamballa style bracelet using 3mm ribbon. The technique is the same and there's a really helpful video on the Beads Direct website.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know, I know, not very classy using a loo roll to photograph it on, but that's all I could think of to use!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The centre heart is a HH charm which I just cut the loop off using wire cutters and the ends of the ribbon are just finished off with little <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/embellishments-c6/metal-embellishments-c29/metal-charms-and-spacers-c52/the-hobby-house-metal-charms-spacers-starburst-spacers-p420">starburst spacers</a>. Jill doesn't appear to have this particular heart, but she has a number of others including double hearts which would look lovely.</div>

Good morning blogging friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you're all well. I'm here to let you know about our new challenge over at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
and this week our theme is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'Use Ribbon'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That should be a nice easy one to help to ease you back into your crafting after all the Christmas and New Year festivities.</div>

I've used a lovely image from Wee Stamps called Ruby and made the base of the card from a Go Kreate die (Frilly#10).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry about the quality of the photos, I even tried faffing about with it in photoscape - but they still don't give a true representation of the card.</div>

Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to a Happy and Crafty 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I've been MIA recently, but with the extra demands on my time in the run up to Christmas both at home and at work I just haven't had the time to blog and craft.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping now that my 'normal' routine has resumed I'll be able to get organised and fit in more crafting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't specifically made any resolutions, but I think getting organised and less procrastination is definitely something I need to work on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway after all that rambling I'm here to show you my inspiration piece for the Hobby House. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's one of my Christmas cards. I still didn't make enough! My intention is to enter a Christmas card challenge every month, that way I'll have at least 12 next Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Good morning everyone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for a little Hobby House inspiration today, and I've created a little gift box instead of my usual cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry the photos are very good, it looks much better in real life, lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are Craftwork cards 'Christmas Post' which give a lovely vintage feel to the project. I've used the sentiment image from <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/die-cut-card-toppers-c46/wee-card-toppers-by-sylvia-zet-c47/the-hobby-house-wee-stamps-winter-fairy-p1038">The Hobby House's 'Winter Fairy' topper sheet</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lid was simply decorated with Poinsettia flowers, some Snowtex and edged with one of The Hobby House's lovely pearl strings. I love adding these to projects, they just look so pretty.</div>

Each side of the box was decorated differently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Top right uses Marianne Creatables LR0136 Christmas tree and was finished with some pearls and Snowtex</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bottom left is simply a let it snow stamp, which has been cut out and fixed on with foam pads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bottom right has a 'Silent Night' sentiment from Whimsy Stamps and was cut using their Dainty Notables Die.</div>

The box itself was just cut from a 12 x 12 piece of kraft card and scored so that it just folds together and is all held in place by its lid. I copied the design from a Tesco Belgium Truffle box which I kept because I loved the simplicity of its design. Truffles are long since gone :) !!</div>

Good morning everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back today with a new challenge over at Divas by Design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week we are being sponsored by Delicious Doodles and the challenge is...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use Red</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're expecting lots of festive entries this week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe how close we're getting to Christmas now. I have seriously got to get my thinking cap on for present ideas and go and get them before it becomes manic in town!</div>

Yay, it's the weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know where the weeks are going. Time seems to be flying by and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet, let alone made enough cards. Think I could end up buying some :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I'm here to remind you that you still have time to enter this month's Hobby House challenge </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is <span style="font-size: large;">Pearls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a fabulous prize </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but remember you need to include at least one item from The Hobby House. Since this month's challenge is pearls that shouldn't be too difficult. Jill has a fantastic array of pearls including the pearl strings, which look great on vintage cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've made a criss-cross card using a lovely Elizabeth Bell image from the Christmas Angels topper sheet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base of the card was made using kraft and the design papers are from the Authentique 'Wonder' collection.</div>

This card is cut using a Go Kreate XXL die (Frilly #5). I love making cards that aren't square, it just gives them that bit more interest.</div>

I've used a lovely topper from the Winter Fairy sheet, isn't he cute! I remember when my children used to write long lists to Santa. That was when Christmas was magical. Now with 3 teenagers they just want taxi driving to parties!!</div>

The trees have been cut using a Marianne Creatable tree die LR0136 and the heart tag is by Magnolia. The roses, cherry blossoms, pearl string , flatback pearls and frantage are all available from The Hobby House. To finish off I've used a little dab of Snowtex here and there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This week our challenge is to use the colour Orange. We're expecting lots of pumpkins!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our fab sponsor this week is Kenny K. He has some great images for all occassions, especially those tricky boys/men.</div>

Hello blogging friends...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My post today should have been for another challenge over at Anything Goes with the challenge of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Altered Art or Tags.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A number of our DT members, however, have been going through some tough times recently so we have decided to take a break until the New Year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we come back our batteries will be recharged and hopefully we should have some new members on the team too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this Christmas tag for the challenge and would still like to show it to you anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The image is Tilda with arms full of presents. She was stamped with Memento Desert Sand so that I could try the 'No lines' technique. This was much harder than I thought and I'll definitely be looking at some Youtube vids before I try it again.</div>

The papers are First Edition 'Silent Night' and they've been distressed and edged with the usual Walnut stain. I've added some Snowtex to create a bit of texture as well as a more wintery feel.</div>

Good morning to you all....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't believe that it's Saturday already. What a busy week it's been too. Only one more week, then it's half term again. We're definitely well on the way to Christmas and lots of snow if the weather man is to be believed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I'm here to give you a little reminder from The Hobby House. You still have time to enter this month's challenge which is another easy one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hobbyhousechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/challenge-5-roses.html">Roses.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it! We just want to see some lovely roses on your project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My card today has lot's of roses: on the image, the paper and the mulberry roses too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought this lovely Whimsy stamp - Wee Florist really fitted the challenge. Isn't she gorgeous?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really enjoyed colouring her, although the hair did push my colouring skills :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These Whimsy images are adorable and I managed to get a few more from Jill, at <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/">The Hobby House,</a> when I was at the Harrogate show. So you'll be seeing a few more in the coming weeks.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are a mixture of Nitwits 'Crab Apple' and Prima 'Romance'. The Prima papers are lovely because they provide these cute little envelopes to make, with tickets to go inside. The embellishments are all from The Hobby House : roses, cameo, cameo pendants, Lace, pearl string, pearl flourish and a touch of aged rose frantage. The sentiment is Whimsy Everyday Sayings Notables 4 and the Dainty Notables 4 die also from The Hobby House.</div>

Happy Wednesday to you. It's time for another challenge over at <a href="http://divasbydesignchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Divas by Design</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weeks challenge is..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clean and Simple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're sponsored this week by <a href="http://www.shop.2cuteink.com/" target="_blank">2 Cute Ink</a>.</div>

For my card I used 2 Cute Inks digi image 'Furry Friends'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a little out of my comfort zone not to put any embellishments on my card at all, but I'm really pleased with it. Think I may be making a few more, especially when I'm pushed for time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are First Edition Spring Feast and have been mounted onto dark brown coordinations card.</div>

Thank 'Crunchie' it's Friday!<br />
<br />
Do you remember that slogan - If you do you're obviously as old as me!<br />
<br />
Anyway it's nearly the weekend and this weekend I hope to be moving my stuff back into my craft room. Think I'm going to need to find some good storage solutions to put all my stash into the cupboards.<br />
If you've got any great ways to store your stamps, dies and bits n bobs let me know.<br />
<br />
Today I've got a card to show you using another one of those lovely toppers from The Hobby House.<br />
<br />
This time I've used an image from the Christmas Angels sheet. These are all by Elizabeth Bell.<br />
Some of them are cut in the same shape as a Go Kreate Frilly #2 and that's what I've used to create the shape for my card.<br />
<br /></div>

Good morning blogging friends..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you've got a wonderful weekend planned with more craft time than housework!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card is one I made for the midway reminder over at The Hobby House.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month's challenge is our <a href="http://hobbyhousechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/challenge-4-our-hobby-house-artists.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Hobby House Artists</span>.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You must use an image from one of the artists stocked by <a href="http://www.thehobbyhouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Hobby House</a>. It can be either a stamp, digi or topper from the following artists</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mo Manning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elisabeth Bell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kenny K</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Silvia Zet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apart from our image stipulation it's Anything Goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose this gorgeous image from the Gingerbread Wishes topper sheet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTJq6vwFO_hDA2-gqH1Q97gHXe3lBJUbLeEamMzNIEQq0F05x8ssnC9r6Ir9AK5tkkxtUhorQLaPz0f3YtUauBnkDKskDTMhC4aSWQChU9hlT_b3iCZHwX7EUQGmtUolZ09twHRphAvxn-/s1600/Elizabeth+Bell+4+Sept13.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTJq6vwFO_hDA2-gqH1Q97gHXe3lBJUbLeEamMzNIEQq0F05x8ssnC9r6Ir9AK5tkkxtUhorQLaPz0f3YtUauBnkDKskDTMhC4aSWQChU9hlT_b3iCZHwX7EUQGmtUolZ09twHRphAvxn-/s400/Elizabeth+Bell+4+Sept13.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
The papers are Dovecraft's Back to Basics Christmas and have been distressed with Walnut stain. Embellishments from The Hobby House include roses, Cherry blossom, jingle bells, rhinestone sparklers and Shabby White Frantage.<br />
<br />
The rest of the embellishments have been made using die cuts:<br />
<br />
Joy Crafts floral flourishes - Leaves<br />
Memory Box Catalina Wreath (with a liberal coating of frantage!)<br />
DooHickey Vintage Tag<br />
<br />
The card was the splodge here and there with some Snowtex to give it more of a Christmasy feel.</div>
