Something 3D at OSAAT

It's something 3D this week at OSAAT. I finally got up the courage to have a play with the Cinch that hubby bought me for Xmas and made a notebook. Am just about getting the hang of it - thank goodness for YouTube lol!

I have absolutely no idea why I wanted a pink tiger but I did - it's a Barbara Jensen design called Little Tiggy Tiger and I've digitally pieced her with Toucan Scraps pink n wild papers using Jennie's fab gimp tutorial that she did for IDIC.

Sadly this will be my last OSAAT project for a while as hubby is now diabetic and checking food labels and adopting a healthy lifestyle is chewing into my crafting time as is stinky work lol! Give it a few weeks to settle down and I'll be back with a vengeance :c)

One for the Boys

You really must join in this weeks challenge at OSAAT as the theme has been chosen by me!!! You should all know my love of everything pink and girly so I've chosen one for the boys :c) I've used this wonderful image by Barbara Jensen called Fluff

I've kept it very simple this week just some red and black card, some fab ribbon that was 25p for 5m from Tesco Xmas sale and some doodles with gold gel pen.

Its Lovely to be Back

One Stitch at a Time is back with a new challenge after a lovely long break. The theme this week is Love awwww and we're showcasing the new collab that you can get free if you spend $10 at Stitchybear Stamps.

I've used Lil Divas papers from the collab to make a coffee cup gift bag type thingy that I saw in the Scorpal November E-zine and added a penguin using an Elzybells stamp.

He's layered onto a couple of die cuts from my new Nellie Snellen die sets.
I've sadly had to eat the sweets as I had to cut a hole in the bag to fit them in but OH prefers pear drops anyway LOL!

Bet you can't guess what mine is? You're right it's pink - not! LOL. This lovely image is by Sylvie Stamps and called Best Friends 2 (no 1 is fabulous ballet dancers that Would look great in pink!). The sentiment is from create with TLC

 The design is this week's Pixie Cottage sketch with the option of using 2 colours - I've used blue & white. The smaller flowers are a Joy craft Die and the button in the big one is a cuttlebug die. I also found a sizzix tag die in the box with the button one so used it to make the layered tag.

Winter Wonderland at OSAAC

This week at OSAAT we are being sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads - don't you just love her cutie images???
This one is called Penguins Visit for our theme of winter wonderland kind of anything goes Christmas.

Don't know what's up with me at the moment but I just couldn't get this gorgeous organza ribbon to stay put. It even took 3 lots of diamond glaze to get that bow on growl........... but it is lovely ribbon. I've also added some tiny jingle bells but you can't see them in the picture (the cat couldn't work out where the noise was coming from). Anita's glitterations numbers and paper from DCWV were all I used in addition to distress stickles (not getting on with these very well) and promarkers of course!

When I was making this I realised that I've never made a card with Santa on - how weird is that? LOL!

 We're celebrating everything and anything at OSAAT this week so I've chosen Christmas in the hope of actually making all the cards I intend to this year. Yeah right the road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that LOL! This fabby row of snow persons (see I'm even being PC today) is called Snowmen by the lovely Debbie from The Crafty Pad - nip over here to buy

I even tried something new this week which you can see on the close up - I stamped a little snowflake with versamark round the edge of  the image and dug out my arch enemy glitter which once again went everywhere but luckily didn't make the tea taste funny but I could see the cat in the dark LOL! I've coloured with sakura pens and added some gems.

Happy Birthday OSAAT

It isn't OSAAT's birthday this week but it is the theme of our challenge. Did you guess right from my sneaky peek yesterday? 

It's a little known fact that Stitchy also does papers and I've used her P&B set available at the store to make my desk caddy come box this week.

The happy wording is a Hero Arts stamp and the birthday is one I had custom made a couple of years ago. The EK Success retro flower punches have also had another outing - don't tell me I don't use my stash LOL

I followed the tutorial from here but made it with a 9x9 piece of white Core'dinations.

Sneaky Peeky at OSAAT

We have a new game over at OSAAT to guess the theme of tomorrow's challenge which is being sponsored by Joanna Sheen so here's a little bit of my project to maybe give you a clue. Nip over to the blog to post your guess for yet another opportunity to win.

Cropped photo brought to you by Nokia N93 worked by 10 year old as mother hadn't a clue that she had photo editing software on it despite having it over a year :c)

Don't forget that if you use a store image for our challenges at the moment you will be entered into a draw to win Stitchy's Special Prize - I sound like that guy off Bullseye LOL! and no it's not a speedboat :c)

Easter Bunny's Recipe

Please note: This product is for decorative purposes only. Don't combine papercrafts and candles unless you have good house insurance and a thing about firemen!!!

Over at OSAAT this week it's a blog hop following the bunny to collect clues to a recipe and then make a card using 5 of them.
I just loved this image from Lexis Creations called Lillie with tulips that you can buy from Stitchy Stamps (unfortunately that knocked 2 from my recipe list :c))but it's so gorgeous I just had to use it.
I was then left with:
2 patterned papers - used the bit with the details on of the tulip paper so only know its from Crafty Island, the spotty bit is Daisy and Dandelion Some Bunny Loves You
Ribbon - from stash
Buttons & Beads - wired the 2 together
Just don't do glitter as it gets all over the cat so stamped bunnies onto the ribbon with stazon in the hope that I'm not cheating lol!

Loads of Easter challenges at the moment so I would like to enter it into:
