Morning it has been a few weeks again since I posted but just when you think you are organised something else crops up. I am not complaining I love to be stitching or knitting.
I then got a gentle reminder from Hazel to say I was sponsoring this weeks challenge on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ so came up with this little card, as guest designer for this week, the theme being "light it up" so I chose to embroider a candle lamp.
Hope you join in with Hazel's challenges she has some great prizes to give away.

Had Time Out
Not been around for a week, all started off with grandchildren staying while their mummy moved house, of course that fell in with Halloween so was busy making treat bags etc. Now I have a poorly knee and can't get around much, (arthritis). Just have to sit and craft I suppose.
This is my entry for:
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ bling it up
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge2.blogspot.co.uk/
The main picture is an old recycled Christmas card but I added 3 red beads to the holly (which hardly show), the flowers I made adding a touch of sparkle to the veins, the sentiments are from Paper Stash and I used glitter card stock to mount them on

Another Christmas Card
This card I made for http://thegloryofchristmaschallenge.blogspot.de/ the theme is a bingo one so lots of choices. I chose to work down, under the I, so it =, text, edge punch, jesus, and gold.
It also fits the bill for http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ "peace"
Had a few problems taking the picture as the card is metallic and my camera didn't like it.

My New Dies
This week on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's a "Make it Square " so I thought I would try out my new dies from Tonic.
So using the flower punch I made the poinsettia and using the new verso die I made the matt, I then cut a 6 x 6 card (yes I am still in inches) threaded a ribbon and then a couple of red embellishments completed the look.

My Guest Design Card
This week I am Guest Designer and Sponsor for : http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
Please go along to Hazels blog and have a go.
You can read on there that Hazel (the organiser) wrongly told me the theme for this weeks challenge so hence the wrong style card is entered, but we all make bo boobs I am the worlds worst for this.
Anyway here is my card
I first stitched the two oblong pieces of card and then the square piece I layered them onto pink card and then attached them to a new (to me) fold card. I then punched out from left over peel off backing sheets the gold pieces and finally decoupaged the centre piece.

Last for a couple of weeks
I am looking after my daughters 3 little rascals while they are away for a couple of weeks, so will probably not have time to enter any more challenges for a bit.
This one is for CHNC the theme being "layer it up" so as well as matt and layering I have decoupaged a Father Christmas and of course added a bit of stitching, nothing to do with the challenge but just because I like stitching.

Scraps
Browsing through blogs I came across this Challenge Blog http://bruggetje.blogspot.nl/ and thought yes good idea I have loads of scraps. so this card is made up of odds and ends from wrapping paper to even part of a chocolate box, the bow was left over Christmas decorations from years gone by.
So I punched and cut and stitched and came up with this.

The theme is get inky and / or painty, as I am no good at either of those, I chose 3 stamped little images using Kan Ban Stamps, and used water colour pencils, then glittered to try and hide the rough edges. So there is a little painty going on but as much as I dare.

New Card Design

More Stitching
Here I have combined hand stitching onto card with machine embroidery. The card is a trapeze style card, where the hand stitching actually holds the centre piece in. I love making these cards, although they take a while I can sit and get lost in my stitching.

Wanted to Share
As most of you know I am a keen machine embroiderer, so wanted to share one of my latest little bits with you. My daughter got married on 24 August so I made her this ring cushion as she had a black white themed wedding.
I am showing this on http://asimplefive.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/inspire-me-fridays-117-anything-goes.html in the hope it inspires some others out there.

A Week Off
After having a week off from crafting, well serious crafting, because I had my grandson to stay, so all I could do was in his words "cards for my mum and dad and brothers". I am raring to get my hands moving again, this week on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's "No Sentiment" so this little black and white number fits the bill.
It was a kit I bought ages back on QVC that never got used as I am not into kits, but sorting through my craft things for old things my grandson could play around with I found it. So I licked and sticked while he embossed and painted.

Thought I would try this pearlised card to print onto, not sure if I like the outcome as everything looks dull. But hey that's me, takes me ages to get into new things.
This week on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's "spread a little joy and love" so this is my take on it.
I will also enter this in http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge2.blogspot.co.uk/ as every month it's "anything goes Christmas" I always mean to enter then forget. So before I forget again I am off to enter it.

This weeks theme over on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ is "snowmen or women" so I thought let's have a whole group. because I just know they all get together and play while us humans are asleep. I bet they have a jolly time.
This was just an image I had tuck away in the back of my computer so I added a bit of glitter and a ribbon and snuck a little Santa and sleigh in the far distance.

Sparkles Christmas Challenge
Came across this challenge blog the other day whilst blogging around http://sparklesforumchristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ so thought why not enter one of my embroidered trees, as the challenge is "Christmas Trees".
The tree is one of my embroidered lace trees, attached to the background with a brad to give it movement, whilst the background was made with digitising software, I've added a few peel offs in gold to tone with the brad and backing card.

Another week gone by, I just can't keep up, they said as you get older time goes more quickly, but I never thought this fast.
This week on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's "Trees" so my embroidered Father Christmas on his sleigh flying through the trees fitted the bill. It is dangling on a brad to give it movement. I then used a background from MCS and added a bow and words then mounted it on mirri board and an A5 blank card.

This week on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ it's "a card suitable for a child"
so I thought "the night before Christmas" was a very exciting time, waiting for Santa.
I can still remember (after xx years, how many ?) the words "he's been" uttered from my sister and the excitement of tipping out my stocking.
This picture brought it all back I could see it in this little chaps face.

Another week gone by at this rate it will be Christmas before we have had summer.
Still by making these cards for http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ I shall be ready with my cards.
This week it's "red and green must be seen" so here is mine.
I used a circular punch on some wrapping paper then added a vintage decoupage Father Christmas from an old card, used up a bit of left over plaid paper and mounted it all onto green card stock. So basically made from left over bits and recycled. I hate waste.

The Naughty Step Challenge
Ok so I'll start the ball rolling again shall I. My chosen two colours for this month's challenge of "monochrome" over on http://craftybrensnaughtystep.blogspot.co.uk/ is white and beige. I have been playing with bows this last few weeks so yes you guessed it a bow on my entry.
CHNC
This week's challenge on http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ The theme is must have the word "Christmas" on the front. So I have chosen to do a hand embossed and cut topper, rather than use my machine, it's so nice to sit and proper craft as I call it now and again. Then mat and layered onto green and red card stock, then added a bow and a tiny embellishment. The words are just a peel off.
