Crafty Addicts Challenge - October

October is our first month for the CCF's Crafty Addicts Challenge. Louise heads up Group 1 and this is the Kit she's sending out on Monday. Can't wait for the Postman on Tuesday, he's not going to know what's hit him.

I think it looks great, already have some idea's but you'll have to wait till the 25th October to see the result.

CCF - ATC's and Fat Pages

It's that time of the month again, and it's one mad rush to get everything finshed and in the mail on time. Every month I say to myself I'll get them done early, but something else always comes up. As a crafter I'm sure I'm not the only one.

'

These ATC's are for our Monthly Themed Swap - Cats 'n Dogs. I was struggling with this one as I hate to say this I'm not a Huge Animal Lover, I do like them butnot crazy about them. However due to that fact I don't have a huge amount of Cats 'n Dogs Craft goodies, I had to go and find some. First place I looked was Daisy Company and I found these two kits that I thought were really cute, "Eline's Cats and Labels" and "Olivia's Dogs" they are just adorable, Olivia does a Cats Kit aswell.

I don't know about anybody else, but I need to be in the mood for the task at hand, if not I don't really do as good a job as I'm capable of doing. This was the case with my Fairies ATC's. It was mostly due to the fact that I couldn't quite find what I was looking for, and due to time running out (no fault but my own) I had to make do with what I had. The Papers are from Funky Hand's CD "The Funky One" which I love, the papers are all really nice and the colours are super. The Fairies are from a Fairy Kit that I got from The Works for 59p.

I'm not very happy with these, but hopefully I'll make up for it with next month's.

CCF - Fat Page Chain

Here are two that I've done today for CCF's Fat Page Chain, I've still got a few more to make but I'm getting there.

This one was made using "Bette's Gingham Girl" Set, the flower is a Rub-on from the Garden Accents set and the Friends Forever Rub-on is from one of my magazine freebie's.

This next one was made from Audrey Jeanne’s "Gerbera Daisy" I set. I've only just got this set and have quite a few plans for how to use it. Both sets are available from Daisy Company.

Crafty Addicts Challenge

I've just joined another Challenge, these challenges are turning out to be just as addictive as Cards, ATC's, Fat Pages, Swaps, and anything else Crafty.

'

This one works on the same principle as Papertake's Challenge, we all get the same kit and then we see what happens! We're on Group 1 at the moment and the Challenge is for October. Anyone interested please click on the link which will take you to the Crafters Companion Forum and the details for the Crafty Addicts Challenge.

Birthday Companions

I belong to a Birthday Group on the Crafters Companion Forum called "Birthday Companions" there's 28 of us and we all send each other a card on our Birthday (Feel sorry for the postman LOL).

'

Well today is Katie B's Birthday and this is the Card I made for her last week.

I used the "Birthday Mice" 3D Kit from Cuddly Buddly, and for the Letters for Katie's name I used the "Reversible" Letters from Pink Petticoats "Simple Monograms" and printed them onto the back of the Backing Paper from the Kit.

Another Fat Page

Here I am again, with another Fat Page, don't know if anyone has noticed but I'm into blue today. Don't think it's a reflection of how I feel, I just love the colours of Gina Jane Johnson's Papers.

This time I used her Daisy Garden Kit (I, II, and III) also available from Daisy Company. The Daisies and Pot are decoupaged which doesn't show very well in the photo.

CCF - Fat Page Chain

Here's another Fat Page for the CCF Chain.

I've used Papers from Gina Jane Johnson's "Butterfly Blue" Mini Sampler Kit available from Daisy Company. I love these papers, I think the colours are lovely and work very well together.

CCF - Fat Page Chain

Since discovering Fat Pages everything else seems to have gone to pot (Except the Housework, that went when I discovered Crafting). I enjoy ATC's but find you can do more on a Fat Page, and no it's not just because it's bigger!

Here are two that I've done for the Fat Page Chain I belong to on the Crafters Companion Forum.

This one is made using Ashley Back Pack Papers available from Digital Scrapbook Place

And for this one I used Little Fleurs Papers and the Dragonfly is a Doodleicious Image Stamp, both from Pink Petticoat.
