Winter fun at The Outlawz

Good morning friends,
We are definitely not having winter fun here in South Africa, but it has been rather wet in places.  Seeing all the snow in the Northern countries this weekend on TV, I think my card might be OK for that.

At The Outlawz this week the Colour challenge has called for a twist of winter fun using the inspirational photo chosen by Cara and using at least 3 of the 5 colours suggested.

Our sponsor for this month is Scrap 'n Dipity

   

For my card I used the blue, green and red.
I had a piece of blue patterned cardstock with snowflakes  and matted an embossed card onto it.
The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug, and I added glitter and frosting

The sentiment was printed on my PC and cut with a Nellies die.

Finished it off with a  ribbon and a heart brad.

Entering the following challenges:
Creates and Makes Challenge  #17 ...Anything goes
Cuttlebug Mania ...It's Christmastime
The Holly and The Ivy #21...Anything Christmas
Tuesday Throwdown #372... Anything goes


Thank you for visiting and have a great week. I hope all your holiday preparations are going well. 

Take care and see you soon.

Love Ursula

Another Christmas card

Hello there,

I am back again, twice in one day...WOW.
This time I have a card for the challenge at Let's Craft and Create and the theme is Anything Christmas. Please pop over and see the amazing cards made by the team...some great inspiration there.

I used an image from Beccy's Place and I so love the idea that I can use a precoloured image from
Baby Robin set

The paper is from my stash, as I am trying to use up my older papers before buying new ones.

I cut the image out with a MFD  from Nellies and also used a Nellies die for the sentiment.

Attached the image with brads and the sentiment with foam pads.

Will enter it in the following challenges:

Beccy's Place ... December challenge
Crafty Calendar...It's Christmas
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas challenge ...Anything goes
Hiding in my Craftroom ...Christmas colours

I will end off and thank you for popping in. Take care and enjoy the preparations for the festive season.

Love Ursula

I am still taking the easy route for now and have used an embossing folder for my card.

The folder is from Crafts Too and I have coloured the baubles with Pan Pastel metallics, added glitter, peeloffs. stickles  for the glitz and glitter.

The sentiment is a diecut from Crealies.

Lavender blue, dilly, dilly......

Good morning friends,
When I saw the inspirational photo of the new Colour challenge at The Outlawz this week , the words of a song from my childhhood came to mind. I don't recall to many other lines, but I just loved the photo which was chosen by my teamie Jacqui together with the twist of NO square cards.

The DT have made lovely projects for inspiration so I hope you go along and give them some love.

Our sponsor this month has been Di's Digi Stamps






I made a rectangle card and sadly there is no lavender to be seen on mine and it is a very simple card.

I used paper received a number of years ago from Michelle Roos Designs

The sentiment is from Deedee's Digis cut out with a Joycrafts label die and attached with brads.

Finished off with a bow.


Will enter the following challenges:

Always fun challenges...#34...Anything goes

New colour challenge

Good morning friends,

It is a beautiful spring morning here in my part of South Africa, so the colour challenge at The Outlawz is definitely, a challenge but Jeanie chose the theme and the lovely photo, so that was a help.

The sponsor for the month is Fabrika Fantasy






I got the inspiration for this card while searching for something else and as I am still in a no colouring phase, I enjoyed making it.

The blue card is actually more green.

Embossed the white card and coloured it with my Distress inkpads.

The two tags were cut with a Marianne Design die.

The leaves are a Cuttlebug die, one of my first dies about 10 years ago, also coloured with distress inks. added some twine.

Happy birthday was cut with an Impression Obsession die.

Colour Crazy challenge #42...Anything goes
Crafting withy friends #53...Anything goes
