Catherine's Crafting Space

Here's my challenge card for both Pollycraft Monday Challenge and Crafty Cardmakers Pollycraft wanted a furry friend so I chose their stunning dave the reindeer that they gave away. Crafty Cardmakers had a sketch to follow. Paper: Daisy and Dandelion Christmas Pad (red snowflake), gold mirror card, gemstone card Image: Dave the Reindeer from Pollycraft Colours: Promarkers I would also love to thank crafty cardmarkers for getting their prize (La Pashe) last week it arrived yesterday and I'm looking forward to playing with it this week.

I've been making loads of jewellery recently and I've been a bad blogger by on ly uploading challenge cards. I will start to try and keep it more up to date but have been posting to other website and don't seem to be able to remember to post everywhere. This card is 2 challenges in one. This is for crafty card makers as they theme is contrasting colours and I thought I would have a go after reading their tutorial and printing off one of their colour wheels. I also followed the sketch on mojo Monday . I hope people like this card. I know that it is different to see but on the left hand side I have put some little adhesive gems to the snowflakes. Image: From the daisy and dandelion Christmas collection Paper: Red paper from the daisy and dandelion Christmas collection, green paper if from designs by krista and is the delightful set. Embellishments : Silver Ribbon, papermania adhesive, stars and snowflakes

THis is an entry that I've done for pollycraft. The challenge was favourite things. I love penguins since watching 'March of the Penguins' and I also love the colours blue and red. This penguin image is from pollycraft and the checked image is foil ribbion which is actually red and blue but has come up black. I will try and get a better picture on there tomorrow when it is better light. I know if I don't do it now I will forget.

This is a challenge from Allissa Designs (the link is on my side bar). She asked you to create a card with her shroom image. It must include red, mustard, brown and green. It must also have a piece of ribbon and a charm. I used foil ribbon in red as I find it gives a nice shine. I didn't have any charms so I didn't know what to do then I thought about I had been shown how to make them at a demo, so I made a charm of a mushroom to match it.

Here's my entry for moving along with the times. I think that I have left it too late but we'll see.

Hi Here's my latest make that I made at the make 'n' take. This is my first attempt at wirework so the wire is not as neat as it could be but I'm learning. I know how to improve this for next time.

I was bored last night and decided to do some crafting. I made my first ever card with an elegant lady. I love the colours of the background. I loved making the pyramage card as it looks great but is really simple when you can line up the parts. I finished this and got thinking that I like so many animal beads and they are normally glass but I thought I wonder if you can make them out of fimo. So I found some pictures as I need to see picture before I can create anything. I made the teddy bear first and then the cat. These are not cooked yet as I am going to make some more fimo before I put them in the oven so I am not wasting electricity
