Matchbook- part 2

I have manged to complete another CBC challenge- CHALLENGE 7 – A PROJECT (2) And we are back to our match Book now I want you do make the first page (both sides) the catch ...you must use STAR (S) more than one on your page you can use them on 1 or both sides




Sorry, awful lighting, but I am in a rush to see "I'd do anything!"
LOLO...how sad!

A quick LO template!

Here is the LO I mentioned , just very quick and simply and all ready for me to scrap a photo, with loads of spaces and options for journalling. I didn't want to add too much detail until I knew exactly what to write but at least I have a few pages in Chris's album!!

I used the template for the CBC Big Challenge 5.

Craft withdrawal symptoms!

I haven't managed any crafting this week. I have been working a few extra hours to help cover staff shortages, completed two NVQ assignments and had my first observation assessment visit at the nursery!!

Yesterday we started preparing for the new patio to be laid- at the moment we have a few slabs left in place from when the extesion was built and the rest is just mud and flint!!!! We made the most of the gorgeous weather yesterday by cutting the grass and tidying the borders a bit...still so much work to be done out in the garden but it's all time and money!

Today, however, I am having a bit of a crafty day. Trying to complete a few more of the challenges from the CBC big challenge weekend. So far I have made one LO, I cheated a bit with this as I combined;

CBC CHALLENGE 9 – MEN!! Men huh painful when it comes to card making so to really challenge you I would like a card suitable for a man to include ribbon and a pin !

with todays Recipe challenge on Dotties World -1 or more Charmed Downloads, 1 brad, Ribbon, Hand doodling/writing, Dry embossing or crimping (CB embossing folders etc..)

Here is what I came up with.

This is going to be part of Chris's 40th Birthday gift, the tag is a "voucher" for Chris to take Jack out to a driving range. Chris used to play a lot of golf when I first met him, but now the family just don't allow him the time! I am going to make up another blank LO all ready to scrap a picture of the day they use the "voucher!"

A Dottie challenge....for HUBBY!!!!

As I have mentioned before it's hubby's 40th next month and today I was very self indulgent and ignored the things I SHOULD be doing and made up a couple of 6x6 LOs as a feeble little start for a gift.

I took the opportunity to play along with the first Dotties World Challenge where you have to use inspiration from a paper piecing tutorial! I have never really done this before and to be honest I cheated a bit by using one of the tiny little sample squares off of a Basic Grey Pack- that way the patterned paper was the same but I had a smaller print for Dotties dress. I had such fun adding detail to Dottie. I used both glossy accents and liquid pearls to highlight little buttons on her shoes, the lacy on her dress, her jewellery and of course...her crown!

Sorry the colours are awful but you get the idea!
