PolkaDoodles week 7 challenge

Polkadoodles week 7 challenge was to interpret the sketch and include a birdie!

I've used the birdie backing paper, stampie topper and flowers from Candy Doodles and added some co-ordinating lime green/orange satin/organza ribbon, very very bright - but funky!!!

Get Funky Challenge February

I just loved the Get Funky Challenge February, "I love Crafting". I thought that i would use the opportunity to make up some little gift bags and boxes i had templates for. Firstly a big thank you to Ruth "Tip Top" for her fab gift box template (the striped bag at the rear left of the photo) i also found an abundance of templates at www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns

I used Funky Hand papers from the Funky Daze CD and also a CD i got in a craft magazine before Christmas.
Excuse the footprint on the chair, I've just noticed it on the photograph!!!

Polkadoodles week 5 challenge

Here is my entry for the Polkadoodles week 5 challenge, Paper piecing. I've never really done it before so i was keen to learn a new skill. I used the cup cake image from Candy Doodles and the lovely green and brown papers from JingleJangles, i also used the background paper from back to nature cd. I also used some matching green and brown satin ribbon.

Polkadoodles week 4 challenge

This is my entry to the Polkadoodles week 4 challenge, a non traditional valentine card. Papers, toppers and letters were all from back to nature cd. This was a quick card to make which was great as i didnt have much time this week.

Polkadoodles week 3

This is my entry to polkadoodles week 3 challenge, following the sketch i decided to use it as a template for a wedding card i had to make - sorry no Polkadoodles items used this time.

Get Funky January Challenge

This is my first posting of 2010 and i thought that i would give the Get Funky January Challenge a bash. The theme this month is spots and stripes so i thought that i would use these lovely vibrant papers from the Sunday Best folder on the "Funky Daze" cd, they match the satin ribbons from create and craft perfectly.

I had to make a gift bag for some homemade choccies for my niece Stephanie so I thought that I would incorporate the Polkadoodles challenge 28 - 3 different papers and a stamp. The bag template was from "Cardmaking & Papercrafting" issue 72 magazine. I used 3 Jingle Jangle papers (Inside and outside the bag and the tag) and i stamped little stars on the tag. The paper ribbons from Jingle Jangles were ideal for joining the 2 stars together - just the right width.
I might need to make the stars a bit bigger next time to fit more choccies!!!
