A Funky Bauble!

So now that the fireworks are over I feel happy to say the C-Word.....CHRISTMAS!!!

 I have made this little bauble using some dotty paper from an old (but still fabulous!) paper collection from Funky Hand.  It's quite nice doing some non-traditional colours, don't you think?

This is just a polystyrene ball with the circles of paper attached with a sequin and a pin. Simple!

The paper download collection is called Funky Little Christmas and you can get it here. Plus you'll find a load more ideas on how to use it here!

Pretty sure this bauble isn't going to last out the season here though....not with two pesky kittens around! ;)

New Funky Hand Releases PLUS a special discount code!

There's lots happening over at Funky Hand at the moment and I've had the pleasure of working with the new releases available today. There's the lovely Little Princess papers...

Which are just perfect pretty papers (check out the chevrons!).

And then there's the cute Georgie digital stamps...

That's Georgie Birthday Party...

and this is Georgie Where Is It...

And just in time for Christmas, Georgie Angel ...

Get your hands on all three digi stamps and the papers over at the Funky Hand Website...AND if you use the code DT9NOV when you checkout you can get 15% off! :)

Spooky Dookie!!!

I'm delighted that my first crafty make to share since being back to blogging is for Funky Hand. I've so missed making with their fab downloads! I've timed things well to use the Spooky Dookie Download and have done some upcycling of an old container too. Here's my little treat gift box...

Which I filled with homemade chocolate cupcake treats... 

And...ok...I ate a few too!

You can find out all of the details on how I made this on the Get Funky and Craft Blog.

Back to Blogging!

So....it's been a while since I have been here. In my absence I have been doing some crafting, mostly crochet, but I have also been doing surgeries, radiotherapy & chemotherapy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2012 and am now NED (no evidence of disease). I'm hoping to get back in to blogging some crafty stuff really soon, but in the mean time here is a picture of our quite-new additions...

Cute huh!

FAS Birthday Blog Hop!

I can't quite believe it but it's a year since we launched Fetch A Sketch! What a fun time it has been! We're celebrating with this blog hop and we're very lucky to have some great sponsor prizes up for grabs too! Make sure you check out the main blog for all the details! 
You should have come here straight from the main Fetch A Sketch blog and I'm your first blog stop. My card uses my favourite sketch from the year designed by Ruth...

Here's my card...

I've used some great tea cup paper from Funky Hand - all in the Tea's Up! download...

And some cute little tickets from Jellypark...

I just need to figure out who to invite for 3 lots of tea & cake now! ;)

Your next stop on the hop is Lisa Jane! Remember to leave a comment on this post before you go!  Have fun hopping!

Thanks so much for your support over at Fetch A Sketch this year!  We love seeing what you all create!

Sketch time!

Here's another card using the current sketch over at Fetch A Sketch...

This is the sketch we've been using...

Designed by me! ;)

To make my card I've used: K&Co Chipboard Debossed Tags, K&Co Die-Cut Cardstock including Blue Awning, Brenda Walton Clearly Yours Dollhouse Alphabet, Prima E Line Flowers, American Crafts Mini Marks Rub-ons Sprout Accents and Queen & Co Brads.

See you over at Fetch A Sketch!

Fetch A Sketch!

It's my turn to share a sketch over at Fetch A Sketch this fortnight...

 

 I hope you like it!

I've made a trio of small cards...

I've used K&Co die-cut cardstock pieces for the backgrounds & Brenda Walton rub-ons & embellishments on top of American Crafts journalling stickers (Book 2 -black).

See you over at Fetch A Sketch!

Fetch A Sketch Time!

This fortnight we've been using Ruth's brilliant sketch as inspiration over at Fetch A Sketch...

We have two fab sponsors for this challenge, Funky Hand & Jellypark, both of which you can see in my card...

I coloured the 'bath girl' Jellypark digi image with Promarkers and layered it onto some heart paper from the 'Love Love Love' Funky Hand download.  I then added a sentiment using Funky Hand Alpha-bits from the 'Tea's Up!' download.  To complete the elements of the sketch I punched out a row of tiny hearts through the whole front layer of the card & interspersed them with some heart stickers from Paperchase.

Take it easy!
