Dare to Dream

Good morning crafters, this is Craftyfield here, hoping this will be a sunny day. 

I simply cannot wait for these few weeks of holidays in the sun!

Well one CAN dream...

 

In the meantime, a bit of crafty endeavours on a journal page has lifted my spirits! Come by my blog and read up on how I created my page.

A Written Word Triptych

Good morning and happy Monday. It's Sue here with my second piece for Teresa's fun challenge, and this time I've made a triptych. 

I've used some of my favourite Tim Holtz stamps (you are all my favourites, don't worry my pretties) and Bigz and Scoreboard dies so this project stands up for itself!

There are more photographs here over on my blog, so I hope to see you over there.

Have a lovely day, and thanks very much for looking x

May Winner, Top 3 & DTMSM

Hello everybody!  It's time to announce the May Challenge Be Humorous winners.  There were some really fabulous entries and we always love seeing what you're inspired to make by each theme.  So here are the May winner of our Challenge, Top Three and Design Team Member Special Mention.  Are you sitting comfortably?  Then let's begin!

Thanks to all of you who joined the CVC May challenge!

Although we had more popular challenges before

 - it seems it was a real challenge for you -

yet it was very hard for me to choose the Top 3 and the Special Mention.

So here is my decision where you will see that in May in the humour category the Katzelcraft bore the palm!

38. Cornelia

Cornelia made a fabulous CAS card with a beautifully coloured parrot. 

That naughty little bird just escaped from his cage, so the adventure begins...

44. Sarah

Sarah created a very interesting background for her cheeky rats and for sure one of them is more cheeky than the other.

46. Sarah

Sarah (aka Crafty Rat who didn't use rats for her project not like her namesake) was the last one who entered our challenge. How fortunate we are that she was playing along with us! The text that she used was a very popular one from Dyan Raeveley but the background she created was very unique and artsy!

And the special mention goooeees to:

22. Amanda

Amanda added - what else? - a Katzelcraft stamp to the Tim Holtz stamps. 

On Amanda's card, we can see an equilibrist performance. This stupid duck thinks he can walk along on a rope at great height, so he's trying to tiptoe and of course, he has a funny face!

And again, thank you so much for participating in our challenge! 

Happy crafting! 

Monika

Father's day card ideas

Hello it's Jane here today with my 2nd inspiration project for our "Written word" June challenge. Father's day in the UK this year falls on Sunday 17th June so I thought I would share an idea for a card for your Dad's.

I used the fab Visible Image Father definition stamp with a fun Tim Holtz Paper doll. I have a step by step of how I created the inky background over on my blog here. It is all stamps...no flicking ink needed!

Bye for now,

Jane x
