Good evening!

This week at Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts challenge, which is actually open till 31st December 12pm GMT,we have two themes again: "Wish Upon a Star" and "Christmas/Winter". There are also two prizes, which means that we are going to have two winners.

I have combined the two themes.



I used one of Helen's adorable images, this one is called Rory and Charlotte - Nativity. I used two Whimsy Stamps, the star stamp is from the Christmas Tree in Words set designed by Raindropecho Designs and the sentiment is from the Peace on Earth set designed by Crissy Armstrong. The paper and the rope are from stash.



And now I have to say that this is also my last DT card for Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts, after 6 months I have decided to step down. I loved being part of the team and I wish Helen and all the DT girls all the best, thank you for everything! I'll definitely be joining the Ellephantastic challenges wheneverI can.

I'll be back later to enter some challenges with this card, I'm off to have a dinner, I'm sooo hungry...

So, I'm entering:
All Sorts challenge "Last Minute Christmas Card"
Crafts and Me - "Moody Blues"

Thank you for stopping by! :)

Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts challenge - So Charming

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
It's windy and rainy here today, but it's nice to look at the dreary weather through the window, while one is confortably cuddled inside where it's warm and cozy. :)

This week it was my turn to choose a theme at Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts, so I've decided we would go Charming, the challenge is therefor to use Charms on your creations.

I'm slowly getting into the Autumn mood, so I thought I would make an Autumn card, again, this time a halloween themed card.



There are a couple of reasons why I decided to make a halloween card: I wanted to use one of Helen's new images from Keep it in the Family range - Charlotte halloween, my new halloween papers "Black Bird" - Memory Box" arrived the other day and since the theme is "Charms" and I have some awesome halooween themed charms, I didn't have to thing long. :)
The image can be found in the Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts Shop, including other craft products which Helen has in shop. I bought the "Memory Box" paper at Quixotic Paperie. The sentiment is Whiff of Joy, the Prima flower and the charm came from the Bunny Zoes Crafts and the lace and ribbon are from a local craft store.



I coloured the image with watercolour pencils.

I'm also entering the Stamp Something challenge which has the theme - "Something with fall colours".

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to enter the Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts challenge, remember the theme is - "Charms".

Have a good day! :)

Hello!

I just returned from my vacation to Greece last night! It was wonderful!!!

I thought I would share a couple of the photos I took there. The first one is one of my favourites, Sunrise on Halkidiki (Chalkidiki).

I took this photo from the beach in Ierissos.



And look what arrived while I was away,I won quite a few challenges in July and these are some of the stamps that arrived:



I won a Basic Grey challenge, the prize was a Simon Says vaucher and I chose three Stampavie stamps (one RAM and two Penny Johnson), then I won a High Hopes challenge where I got to choose a High Hopes stamp. I didn't have to think long, as "Jenny's Glowbugs" stamp was on my wishlist for quite a while now. :) And I also won the Belles 'n Whistles challenge, the prize was one of Belles 'n Whistles stamps of my choice. That beautiful House Mouse set, which is also in the photo, I ordered ( I just had to lol) before I went to Greece. I bought it at Bunny Zoes Crafts. I can't wait to ink some of these up, but there's so much catching up to do.


This weeks challenge at Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts has been set by the lovely Jane. She chose the theme - "Shabby Chic". Our sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiments!

This is my DT card, which I also made before the trip.



All the stamps are from the Whiff of Joy, "Sheherazade kit". I used the main image, the lamp and the sentiment stamp for the first time.



I coloured the image with watercolour pencils, as usual.

I'm entering the following challenges:

Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts challenge #4 and DT card for Whimsy Stamps

Good morning!

I made a card using some of the new, just a few days ago released Whimsy Stamps rubber stamps. Atpart from this being my Whimsy stamps DT card it's also my DT card for Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts.

This week at Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts the host is the lovely Michelle and "Party Invite" is the theme she chose.
The sponsor for this challenge is Vikki at Posh Pins and she has offered a fabulous prize for one lucky participant.

Now I didn't understand the challenge very well, I thought we were supposed to make a party card, I totally overlooked the "invite " part and so I made an easel Birthday theme card.



I absolutely love this Birthday Letter Seals sentiment set designed by Ann Vento! There are three circle sentiments and six more fabulous sentiments in the set. I 've used one circle one and two of the sentiments on this card: "Eat cake" and "It's Your Day...Enjoy It!" Not that you can only use this set to add sentiments on your cards, but also as "main images" like I did here. Perfect! They are so adorable, I could just eat them. lol The paper is from stash. The flowers were stamped with a flower stamp from Queen Kat Designs.



I coloured those cute little presents and a cake with watercolour pencils, distressed around the image and the paper, also using m,y distress ink pad "Tattered Rose" and added lots of glitter.



This is another sentiment that I used.



And this is what the card looks like closed. I made a mini card, the base is only 3 inches.

I'm entering the following challenges:
Quixotic Challenges with the theme - "Make it Miniature"
Stamp Something challenge with the theme - "Something Flowery"

This week the host at the Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts is the lovely Jane and she chose the theme "Sew Special".
I decided to go with real sewing on my card, but without a sewing machine it was a rather hard task and I must confess I'm not all that happy with the result, but once I finished my hard, I was too tired to make another one.

For this challenge the DT have used an adorable image called "Marley and Charlie - Cheese", designed by Helen. You can find this adorable image in Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts store. Helen has other crafting goodies in her store, too, some fabulous papers, stamps and more, do visit her store and have a look around.
