Gruffies Take A Bath

Hi

I'm still frantically making calendars to send out to family and friends.  This one is made using the Gruffies and Happy Hoppers cd-rom from Joanna Sheen, and uses a decoupage image from the Gruffies section:

I made an easel card and matted the decoupaged image onto Spellbinders die, decorative labels 8.  The backing paper is from Joanna Sheens Housemouse Inserts cd-rom.

The decorative border which the calendar tab is sat on is made using Spellbinders Borderabilities Curved Borders Two, they are my latest dies and I love them!  A few clear Dew Drops from Kraftyhands are used to decorate.  I cut a small piece of towelling in co-ordinating colours to decorate the easel part of the calendar.

My calendar is for the following challenges:

Gruffies & Guests - Anything Goes

All Crafts Challenge - Anything But A Card

Crafting From The Heart -Challenge 5 Fancy Folds

Created With Love - Anything Goes

The Cutie Pie Challenge - Cute and Blue

Gold matt paper from Papermill used for matting.

Memory box and Marianne dies used to create flowers, Cheery Lynn die used for flourish.

Gold glitter ribbon from Create & Craft, horse charm from ebay.

Sentiment Lili of the Valley, stamped in gold Encore ink.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Let's Celebrate

Happy New Year.  I hope that 2014 is a good one.

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month our theme is 'Let Celebrate'. For my card this month I decided to use a cross stitched image, I hope you like it.

The image was stitched on 14 count white Aida fabric using DMC threads.  I created the card blank using white hammered card and lilac card from Papermill.  The sentiment is computer generated, matted onto silver mirror card.

Please do try and join us for this months challenge, I look forward to seeing you there.
