OH WHAT FUN!!

Well , here we are again in my craft room ,  snug as bugs in a rug .  Welcome . I see a newbie my circle of craft buddies , thank you for joining me .

Cold and wet here in Adelaide . But some parts of Australia's east coast  have been battered by atrocious weather . Floods ,high seas and blasting winds . A few homes were washed off their foundations , roads washed away and sadly lives have been lost . So I am thinking of all those affected , and  of  all those who are rising to help  the  many  in need .

Sunday brings us to the new challenge from Christmas card Challenges


The challenge theme for this week is  Anything Goes

So I had fun creating this DT card for   #21
Card base and paper from SU . Image from kraftyhands CD, Frosty Friends
Snow flakes , SU set , Snow Burst.[retired I think ]
Bling from my stash .
sentiment for inside from SU set , Christmas Messages.

April - Challenge #35: Shabby Chic

Welcome to my room , my warm and comfy craft room . Bit cool outside so great crafting fun time .
Thank you for calling in . I hope that you browse a while and perhaps you will find one of my projects that you might like to leave a comment about .

I must say that this particular DT gig for http://open-mindedcraftingfun.blogspot.com.au/  is really helping me to add a little more interest to my usual CAS style of card making , in the way of adding a flower or two or some pearls,  as well as some punched decorative edges . ALL AT ONCE ON THE SAME CARD. I am breathless .

Today I am sharing my make for the new challenge
 from http://open-mindedcraftingfun.blogspot.com.au/

Challenge #35, the theme of which is Shabby Chic .

This weather here  is a bit tricky to predict.
 Rained a little last night .Which is great by the way . Although it was cloudy all day there were only a few light showers and it was not that cold . Doug and I had to use the car today so no trail blazing .
And it has been like this for a few days now .We used the car on Friday to go to a shopping centre for groceries and coffee with scones where  we enjoyed time  with friends , Fran , Jane and Sandy .
 
Today I am happy to share a DT card for
 
All card stock, sentiment   and paper used are  from SU , the card topper is from
Kraftyhands CD , Fat Luigi's  Kitchen
while the snowflake confetti is from my stash .

Santa travels

Hi there every one . Welcome to my room .
We had perfect Autumn weather yesterday so was out for hours enjoying sunshine .
Found another coffee shop and gave it a plug on my face book page .
And will probably do the same today .

Today's post here is to share my DT card for Christmas card Challenges

The theme for Challenge #19 is Christmas Travel


 
Card stock and Paper from SU . Image cut from Kraftyhands , Nordic Christmas Postcard stack .
Also used new die for first time .Photo card Frame , JOY.

 
Congrats to last week's winner and top 3.
Thanks to all the entries though . I think that there are a few regulars too . And many of you will be well on the way to having all the cards you will need at Christmas time .
 
I am sure that this will be an easy theme to use as most of us, Santa and helpers included , would travel during Christmas ..shopping , visiting finding just the right tree.
