CRAFT Challenge #638 - Christmas

Itʻs time for a Christmas challenge over on the CRAFT Challenge blog.  

Our sponsor this week is -

Morganʻs Artworld

I have used a wonderful freebie image from my stash to create a Christmas bookmark which will probably end up in someoneʻs Christmas card.  I colored it up with Copic markers and made some snow with white embossing powder.

 Thanks for taking a look.  We would love to have you join us over at CRAFT Challenge this week!

Aloha,

Brenda

Little Red Wagon #654 - With A Little Help From My Friends

 

Kate has a new song and a new challenge for us over at Little Red Wagon.  This week she wants to see projects that celebrate our friends.  

I went with a Tiddly Inks image called Thanks a Latte to celebrate a friend I have recently reconnected with. We had a nice cup of coffee and caught up on life.  Thank goodness for friends!

We would love to have you give our challenge a go this week.  Just head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up your creations. While you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Aloha,

Brenda

As You Like It Challenge #233 - Favorite Food

 

It's time for another As You Like It Challenge.  This fortnight our challenge theme is to share your favorite food.  Be sure to tell us why it's your favorite for a chance to win.

I love ice cream, all flavors, but especially lime sherbet.  Ice cream is the perfect way to cool off on a warm day and the tangy flavor of lime is an absolute treat!  This cute little Colorado Craft Company mouse sure seems to be enjoying his cone.

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is -

We would love for you to head back to the AYLI blog to link up your creation.  While you are there, check out the prize that's up for grabs and take a look at the gorgeous creations the DT made for you to see!  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Aloha,

Little Red Wagon Challenge #653 - Make It Bloom

I have hostess duties over at Little Red Wagon this week.  I'm hoping this is a very timely challenge, I know the mainland US and even in Hawaii nei we have had plenty of April and May showers.  With all this precious ua (one of the 200 or so Hawaiian words for rain), plenty of flowers are blooming, so that is my challenge for you this week.  Quite simply I would love for you to "Make It Bloom" by using flowers on/in your creations. 

I had quite a time coming up with a card for this challenge.  I think it is because I have so many favorite floral stamp/die sets.  I made 2 cards and just wasn't happy with them.  These stamp sets arrived on Monday, so I set to coloring that evening with no real design decided.  I got up Tuesday and decided to cut the image out with a Scan N Cut which promptly went rogue on me.  I can't swear it wasn't user error, but I don't think it was.  I went to YouTube to see how to recalibrate the machine, taped up the poor little image and recut.  I don't think a non-card maker will ever notice.  Anyway the stamp sets are from Colorado Craft Company and the scalloped square, doily and circle hearts are from the Silhouette Design store.

OK, enough, yakity yak. I look forward to seeing all your lovely creations, just pop them into the link over at Little Red Wagon.  Be sure to check out the Girlfriends, I know they are going to smash this challenge!

Thanks for checking us out.

Aloha,

Brenda

Happy Birthday Blog Hop

  

 Good Morning All and a Very Happy 13^th Birthday to us all here at CRAFT Challenge!!

This year we are 13 years old already and still going strong. Only one team member has been present from the start, Jo. Jo says ‘I have seen a lot of team members come and go over these 13 years, but all have been fabulous and very talented. I feel honoured to be working with such talented and lovely people. Even though my time is limited these days, I still love being part of this team.’
