DT CALL at CGE DT!


We are looking for some new DT members join us at the start of January 2015. You will need to create one project per month (usually using digi stamps provided by sponsors) and to comment on challenge entries. You are also expected to enter challenges with your projects and promote the challenge where ever possible. You must have an active Blog.
We are a happy band of crafters living across the world, we don't "do", drama and we have lots of fun!
If you would like to join us please add DT next to name on your entry. We will contact a short list of people who will be invited to tell us a little bit about why they would like to join us x

Now on to this months challenge over at Crafts Galore Encore which is anything goes and is sponsored by Whoopsidaisy who are very kindly giving a prize of 2 sheets of digis. 

My card for this months challenge was a difficult card for me to make, it was for my dear father in law's 85th birthday, he is poorly and having a bit of a rough time. He is such a sweetheart and never complains.  I hunted high and low for the right image for this one. He keeps Gouldian Finches so this card was well received and is in pride of place on the mantlepiece!!

The Gouldian finch is a digi image from Paint the World Super Colouring
Coloured with Copic Sketch and Ciao
Paper, dried grass and raffia from stash

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges
Have a great November

Back again!!

This month over at Crafts Galore Encore we are celebrating Halloween with Trick or Sweet, so anything Halloween goes and we are sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K. Check out their website for a great selection of fantastic digis.
I had so much fun creating this card, for some unknown reason I really enjoy making Halloween cards. I am getting quite a collection now, I never send them to anyone just keep them, lol. I made this card whilst visiting my good friend Wendy from Stamps and Memories. I went over to spend the day with her with quite a clear idea in my mind of what I was going to make, which is most unlike me and came back home having made something completely different!! Anyway here is my masterpiece

A retired Old Truck!!

Firstly I would like to thank the lovely DTs over at A Gem of a Challenge and Sentimental Sunday for choosing my strawberry card in their Top 3's last month, I was so chuffed and am sure it was the gingham fabric that did it!!
Well folks, July is here and that means we are on a down hill slide to Christmas, lol and no I haven't started my Christmas cards yet!!  I can't believe that half of the year has gone already and that this is card number 7 for Crafts Galore Encore DT.  When I first joined the DT, I was so apprehensive, stressed and worried about it all but I can honestly say it is the best thing that I have done. They are all such a fabulous talented fun group and this month we have 4 new members to the team so do pop across and meet them all. So on to this months challenge, a nice easy one and it is to use a stamp or a digi stamp.  We have a fantastic sponsor this month, Fred She Said who have very kindly donated $15 GC to spend in their store.  Check them out here

Boy Zone!!

Where did the last month go?  I was going to be so good and get more than one card posted but it somehow took me a month to make this one, lol.  Anyway, this month at Crafts Galore Encore we are asking you to use your favourite colour. We are sponsored by the fabulous Kenny K who are offering 2 prizes of 2 digis, one person will be chosen at random and one will be selected. Check out the website here for the fabulous digis.  

The image I have chosen is called Airborne and was such fun to colour. I have used my favourite colours for this time of year which are yellow and blue but I couldn't make a card without my favourite copic reds, lol, I hope you like it.
I have used Copic Sketch and Ciao pens
Papers are from the Alison Ellis Boy Zone range
(All of the above are available from Wendy at Stamps and Memories)
The skateboard wheels on the BOY ZONE I have made from buttons, beads and Glossy Accents.

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

And another red card!!

I really must change my colour scheme, lol!!  Now that I have got used to my red pens they are all I seem to use these days.  Over at Crafts Galore Encore the new March challenge is to use a digi or stamped image on your project.  We have a great sponsor this month Glamour Eyes who are offering a prize of 5 digis and a surprise clear stamp. Check out their website here.


So here is my DT card for our challenge at Crafts Galore Encore for March. I have just discovered the most amazing artist who sells her digi stamps on Etsy under the name of Aurora Wings. She is so talented, I just had to rise to the challenge as I love red poppies, I think it stems from spending over 30 years working along side our Armed Forces.

I have used Aurora Wings Digi called Red Poppies
Coloured with Copic Pens
Dies used are Nestibilities Labels ?
Marianne Designs Flower Dies
Flourish Die
Crafts Too Embossing Folder
Card and Brads from stash
