Character counts
This is for challenge 28 on Stamptacular Sunday.
'For this week’s challenge you will create a card or some other project that includes a well known cartoon character on it.'

Silhouette - bling it on!
This is very similar to the last card that I showed for the 'silhouette' challenge on BS this week.
I based the card on the sketch for challenge 37 on Little Paper Shop:
Again I've used DCWV papers, stamped with the PM candelabra, added a few gemstones and also the 'bling' Seasons Greetings, which is a glitzy shaker - it's hard on a photo to show how 'blingy' this is, but as it is irl then I'm linking for If the shoe fits Fashionista Friday 7: 'bling it on!' It is also good for Stamp something this week: 'bling it somethings'.
There's enough sparkle on here for Flourishes 'a season that sparkles'. It's also good for MMM 'pink'.

Silhouette candelabra
This card is for this week's challenge on Bubbly Scrumptious: 'silhouettes'.
I've used DCWV papers, Dovecraft ribbons, a newly acquired PM stamp, candelabra and a few gemstones. The papers and ribbons were ones that I received from Annmarie for my birthday. Corners were cut with Fiskars nostalgia corner edger.
This is also for challenge 4 on Crafty Catz - to use black, white and one other colour, also ribbon and any other embellishmens (the gemstones).

Quick and cute
My Time to Craft challenge 81 this week is 'quick and cute'.
I coloured the stamped image (acquired last year in a swap) with a Sakura glitter pen - shame that on here the super glittery look doesn't show up, neither does the beautiful reflection of the metallic grey mirror card.
This is also for Flourishes 'a season that sparkles'.

Gingerbread
The subject for Winter Wonderland challenge 20 this week is 'gingerbread'. I've used English Paper Company papers and on each card I've added a chipboard gingerbread person (can't remember where they came from):
Eskimo kisses
I love doing BG challenges because it's an excuse to cut into some of my fav papers - this card was made for the sketch for week 5:
The papers are eskimo kisses:

Coffee morning
My friend's coffee morning went very well this morning. From the profit of the sale of my cards £50 was given to the work of SAT-7. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported by buying cards.
More Christmas in October
More Christmas cards for La la land 8 and Creative Inspirations 18.
These cards are based on the sketch for CPS 137:
These were made yesterday for today's sale.

No image allowed
'No image allowed' is challenge 38 on Funky Fairys.
The first two cards are sympathy ones (the inside is stamped with 'with deepest sympathy' - the cardstock is hammered white and the corners and scrolls are rub ons, with flowers PM:
The next five Christmas cards are also suitable for challenge 8 on La La Land: 'winter/Christmas' and also for Stampavie challenge 65: Christmas.
They are made for the purpose of sending to folk who are going through a time of illness or bereavement, for instance, for whom Christmas is a difficult time.
The sentiment is a Hampton Art stamp, embossed.
I can't remember what paper this background is - I think it might be Craft Creations, but not sure:
The papers used on these other cards are from the BG eskimo kisses range:
And the band of paper across this one is Anna Griffin:
They are also more cards for Creative Inspirations 18 'Christmas in October'

Blue
Blue is the colour for Crafty Creations 37, so I'm showing some Christmas cards that I made yesterday.
Paper Blooms current challenge is 'monochromatic' so these cards are appropriate for that too.
and this card is a sympathy one (inside says 'with deepest sympathy', using a cuttlebug embossing folder and some PM flowers - it is good for Cuttlebug Spot challenge 52: monochromatic:

Copic colour challenge 34
I made a lot of Christmas cards yesterday in readiness for today's sale at my friend's coffee morning - I managed to take quick photos or scans, but didn't have any time to blog, so this card for Copic Colour challenge 34 is late, although the card was actually done on time.
The challenge called for us to use these colours:
The nearest I had were: BG93, RV29 and C-3, so I used these along with a few others to colour in the stamped image. The background of the card is reflective mirror card and hard to get a photo - metallic grey.

Salt: Confidence in God
It was my turn to choose the Salt topic for today's challenge - you can read what I wrote here.
I've used My Mind's Eye papers for my LO and torn the edges all round to represent the fragility and uncertainty of live, compared with the solid rock of confidence in God.
I've used the words of a worship song (you can read them by clicking on to the picture).
This fits perfectly with today's challenge 41 on Charisma Cardz: 'it's so distressing' - 'I want you to pull out your distressing tools - inks, scissors, whatever you want - and rip and tear and distress those projects to "destress" yourself!!'

Just because ....
It looks as if this is late, but in fact it was ready last night, but I didn't have time to blog it.
It's a card for 'just because ...' for the treehouse challenge 18. I chalked over the embossing:

BF Gez's CJ
It's that time of the month again to post on a CJ and this time I was working on Gez's lovely one, in which she asked us to tell her what precious things we would try and save if our house was on fire.
The background paper I've used is very appropriately called 'brick wall'! I embossed the red card for the roofs with a cuttlebug folder.
As always, if you click on the pictures you can more easily read what I've written.

Vintage baby card
Somehow I acquired these 3D stickers, which are a bit vintage looking and decided to use them on a baby card. The theme on Stampin' Sisters for Christ challenge 8 is to make a baby card or project, so this is for that.
It's also one for Crazy Amigo 'birth cards'.
I'm not sure what the background paper is (it's actually the same as I used on one of the sympathy cards I showed earlier - strange to use the same background for such different occasions, but it seems to work for both).
The sentiment says: for your precious little one
