Chloe's Xmas Squirrel

Hi Everyone 

Chloe has been practicing measuring and cutting our her own layers.  She is such a quick learner.  She loves using my Big Shot too.  She was wanting to make a card but I was doing other things so I said that she should see how far she could get without me in the room, which meant doing her own measuring and cutting and choosing embellies etc without any guidance.  Well I was amazed as she had this card all laid out within the hour.  Proud Mummy Moment lol!  The downside of leaving her in the craft room to get on was that it was in chaos.  There was paper everywhere.  I tidy as I go, clearly Chloe will be a messy crafter lol!

The Image is a Pre-Coloured Image called Holiday Squirrel from Fabrika Fantasy.  The Card Blank is a 6" Scalloped Square and the patterned paper she chose is from Trimcraft.  She found some die cut snowflakes and popped a clear gem in the centre of each one.  The sentiment is hand stamped and is from Stampingallday and she finished by adding a Blue Satin Bow.  

Chloe would like to enter this card into the following Challenges

Chloe's Cold Nose

Hi Everyone

So it looks like I am sharing my blog again with my Daughter Chloe.

She is super excited to be sharing this card with you that she made using this topper kit called Cold Nose Warm Wishes from Pink Gem Designs   She is also very excited that Christine and Janet have let her add it to the DT projects for the challenge that starts today over at A Gem of A Challenge  I think we will be seeing alot more of her work on my blog lol.


The theme for the next fortnight is Animals.  Please come on over and play along with us.

I am letting Chloe sort out all her own layouts and not interfering if things are not quite straight as that is how she will learn lol.  She did a very good job on this one!  I am really proud and love watching her work she enjoys it so much.

Her Card is a 6" Scalloped Square and she layered some Dovecraft Patterned Paper onto some Gold Glitter Card.  The sentiment comes with the Topper Kit and she punched this using a scalloped circle punch and layered this onto another punched circle.  She didn't want to add too much else so settled for a Gold Bow.



Thank you for visiting today and sharing this card.  Please leave Chloe a comment to let her know what you think.  Hope to see you again soon.

Chrstimas Deer

Hi Everyone

It is the start of a new challenge over at Fabrika Fantasy Challenge Blog.


The theme for this month is Christmas in July.  Please come on over and join in with us.

For my DT card I have used my favourite image called Young Deer and made him into Rudpolph!  I have coloured him using Copics

Normally I layer ontop of the base but this time I decided to make the card like the image was framed with a mount so it all goes the other way.  Was slightly trickier to work out the measurements lol 

The Card Blank is a 7" Scalloped Square and the sentiment is hand stamped and is from Stampingallday.  I finished by adding Red Pearl Gems and a Red Satin Bow.
