A bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog - Challenge 124 - Anything Goes

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? My hubby has a couple of days off. Today we have the excitement of getting our eyes tested. I noticed a significant difference with my eyes so the time is right. 

Today Challenge 174 starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are fantastic digi papers on offer as prizes. 


 I used the Gingham papers for my creation. 


Our challenges are lots of fun. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the challenge blog


Some time ago I treated myself to a magazine that had a Flower Fairy paper collection.
The tags were left over from the kit so I decided to put them together to make a card. 


This is a Crafter's Companion die. 


My mother-in-law loves the flower fairies. I might just save this until next year for her. By then I might well have made her something else she is a very special lady. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

A Pretty Little Card to say Hello - Anything Goes at the A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge Blog

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? We were busy all weekend with the Open Studios sale. We spent most of our time making sure that people were socially distancing and making sure not too many people were in the garden at the same time. After we had tidied up on Monday we had a meal at one of our local restaurants. We had it all booked a while as it was the last chance to use the Government scheme Eat Out to Help Out. 

Today sees the start of a new challenge at the A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge. The theme is always Anything Goes and there are sets of Digi papers to be won. 


This time I used the Gingham Digi papers. I have said before I do have a thing for gingham. 


Our challenge are always fun why not join us? Click on the logo and you will be taken straight to the challenge. 


From the John Next Door range I used the Cornflower die, the Small Butterfly die set and the Star Flower leaves. 


This is a Crafter's Companion die. 


This is another of the cards that was in the sale. I  displayed about 100 cards. 

Have a great weekend.

The A Bit More Time to Craft - Extra Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello my Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I can't believe it is July already. This has been such a strange year. So much has happened and has changed. I wonder what else is coming our way. 

It is time for the new challenge at the A Bit More Time to Craft - Extra Challenge. The theme is always Anything goes and the July Challenge runs until the 28th of the month. 


Okay it has to be said that I have a weakness for gingham papers. I just couldn't resist these digi papers when I first saw them. 

Our challenges are always fun and you get the chance to win some wonderful Digi papers. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 



I have a Pollyanna Pickering paper kit and this lovely Thrush is one of the images from the kit. I cut the image and it's mats with the Double Pierced Circle dies from Creative Expressions. 


This is one of the John Next Door sentiments. 


I sent this card to my uncle who is in a home in Devon. He has been there since just after Christmas and obviously the home isn't allowing visitors. 

I would like to enter the following challenges: 

 I will be back in an hour with another card.

A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge for May

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How are you getting on? It is my birthday next week and I have got no idea how to celebrate while we are in lockdown. Just to warn you this is going to be a busy bloggy day I have three design team cards that I need to share.

My first is for the A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge. The May Challenge starts today and the theme is always Anything Goes.


I made a birthday pop up card for my lovely cousin. I used the Gingham papers to make my creation. I do have a tutorial on my blog for making this type of card you can see it HERE.

Our challenges are always fun and there are lovely digi papers to win. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the challenge blog. 


The flowers were cut with the Cornflower die from the John Next Door range. I used the Gerbera Leaves dies from the same range. I made the stems myself. 


On the front panel I put the sentiment. Both the bunting and the sentiment are Crafter's Companion dies. 


My cousin and her family have a rescue dog of whom they are very fond. 


The card folds up nicely for posting. 


I haven't made this style of card for a while. They are very effective and popular. 

I will be back in an hour with my next post. 

In the meantime I will joining in will Barbara Gray's Doodling session. This week has been all Japanese. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Stay safe and well.

A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge - April Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is the time going for you? I hope you are all well. We keep hearing of people getting symptoms. All the time we are able to, we are happy to help where we can. I can hardly believe it will be Easter soon.

Today the April challenge has  started at the A Bit More Time to Craft Extra Challenge. The theme is always Anything Goes.


For this creation I have used the Gingham Digi papers. As I was printing at home I was able to make them double sided. I bought a copy of Die Cutting Essentials magazine because I liked the basket die set so much. As the papers were double sided this meant that the inside of the basket was decorated. The Decorative panel came with the die set. I did make the handle myself. 

What not join in with our Anything Goes Challenge. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 


The tag dies came with the Crafter's Companion Advent calendar. The Happy Easter is a Creative Expressions die. 


This basket went together very easily. So far I have made two they are with our daughter and son-in-law. I gave them to them the last time we saw them. I have no idea when everyone will be able to see their loved ones again. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Stay safe and well. 

Happy Crafting
