Corrie here with my second post for this month's "Anything Goes". I have made a cheese board into a wall hanging.
I you want to know how I made this you can hop over to my blog HERE where there is also a list of materials I used or you could watch the movie instead HERE !
Craftyfield here today with a winter/Christmas card.
I hear you groan... but wait!!!
Come to my blog and I will share my reasons and my way of working, it should be of interest for the thrifty crafters among you, which I believe are many!
Hello it's Jane here with my second project to hopefully inspire you to enter our current anything goes challenge. I think most people are now getting back to normality after the long Christmas break. I hope you all had a wonderful time. I chose to make a Valentine card as yes before we know it February 14th will be here. I used the other part of the master board that I made for my first card, a New Year's card.
If you would like to see how I made it, using home made heart stencils made with my glue gun, do pop over to my blog here . A very warm welcome awaits you.
I'm very fond of polka dot, so I was very happy when Tim Holtz released a polka dot stencil. I also love Tim's crazy creatures so no wonder I chose them to make a birthday card.
For more details, please hop on my blog! Thank you!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year! I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Resolutions. I can make them and am pretty good at sticking to them but equally some years I think I have enough going on without having to add something else into the mix - guess which camp I'm in this year!?! The lovely exercise bunny image seems wholly appropriate to accompany this page - after all many of use promise we'll do more! If you'd like to see more, my blog is always there! Gabrielle x
I rather indulged myself with this month's great theme of Anything Goes and gathered some favourite supplies and using some of my all time favourite techniques made an art panel for this fabulous quote - which is quite apt for the beginning of the year. Do join me over on my blog if you would like to see some more details.
This time of the year I find I need a bit of colour to cheer me up. Maybe you're equally affected by the short days and grey skies... so, to ward off the SAD disorder, the Crafty doctor prescribes a dose of colour!
Should you wonder how I made this card... all the details are on my blog here.
Although it's the first day of the new year I haven't brought you here a new year's card but a birthday tag. For me the January means the birthday of two very special people in my life: my sister and my daughter. So I can't waste time at the end of December I always have to make birthday cards too.
If you want to see the supply list of this tag, please visit my blog.
Hello there and a very happy New Year to you! I hope you can join us for our new challenge of anything goes - I had lots of fun playing with paperartsy stamps and gelatos - if you'd like to know what I did please go over to my blog here.
Hello everyone, Happy New Year and welcome to 2017. This is a wonderful time to raise our glasses and toast all the new beginnings ahead of us. For our family it will be a new grand baby due in May. So exciting. Our challenge at Country View this month is "Anything goes" and I decided to make a New Year card.
The background is a mixed media master board using my own handmade stencils using my glue gun and a palm tree stamp ( I kid you not!) If you would like to find out more and also see my step by step pop over to my blog here where a glass of champagne warm welcome, as always, awaits you.
Bye for now,

Hello it's Jane here with some more Christmas inspiration. You may remember my first card showed a very white on white Christmas card. I have used the same stamp, but created a very different card today. There are just 4 more sleeps until the Big Day but you still have until 31 December to enter our Christmas challenge.
I have a step by step and some additional photos over on my blog here. Do pop over where a mince pie warm welcome awaits you 😄 I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for supporting our challenges this year and for the kind comments you take the time to leave.
As you know the Country View Crafts theme this month is, unsurprisingly, Christmas! For my second project this month I made a page in one of my small journals. I started by painting the page with blue paint and then stamping on some holly leaves. I then coloured them in. The 'before' picture is below! I then added a black stencilled border to the bottom to act as a shelf and then added six parcels to sit on it! little banner stamped with one of Emma Godfrey's sentiment stamps finished it off. I think you could use this as a card or tag for a present - don't you?!
Jennie here with you today to share my second project this month.
I had two very small Christmas presents which needed some pretty packaging to make them look more spectacular so I decided to use my Sissix Matchbox Die to create two small mini matchboxes.
Do join me over on my blog if you would like to more details.
