Lots to do Challenge blog - week 41

This week is the final challenge for the lots to do challenge site

The theme was set by Hilda and she chose trees or leaves.

I used my crafty individuals stamp and stamped it several times and coloured them all in with whispers pens.
I then cut out bits off each one and made a decoupaged frame and picture.

Lots to do Challenge - Week 40 - Snowmen

This weeks challenge has been set by Mags and she chose Snowmen as the theme.
I made a skinny.
I got some blue card and cut it to size.
I then cut some snowflake paper and matted that on.
I used one of the stitchels range of snowmen and stamped a few of them and made my own decoupaged snowman.
I used whispers pens to colour them in.
I made a small snowy hill with pearlised card and stood the snowman on.
I finally added the wording let it snow.

Lots to do Challenge - week 39 - Music

Over on Lots to do the theme for this week is Music and has been chosen by Alison.

I made a fat page for this.
I used a minky coloured pearlised card and cut it to size. Luckily for me the card is reversable with a dark brown back so I cut another piece of card smaller and matted it on. I then cut a smaller piece of card and ran it through the cuttlebug with the music embossing folder. I slightly distressed this piece with some sandpaper and then lightly went over it with tea dye distress ink. I then found an image of lots of musical instruments and added that to the centre.

Lots to do challenge - Week 38 - Christmas

This week on the lots to do challenge the theme is Christmas and has been chosen by Andrea.
I decided to alter a CD for this challenge.
I used my crop-o-dile and cut a 2cm border around the CD. This was really time consuming and the little bits of CD went everywhere!
I then covered my cd in snowflake paper front and back. I then tied invisible thread around the CD so that my snowman could "float" in the centre.
I used the crop-o-dile again and added a silver eyelet and finally added some sparkly ribbon.
