Cards For Men Challenge 22

I know i keep saying this but where does the time go!?! Only seems like yesterday i was posting my last challenge card! Anyway on with the challenge...

This week's challenge at Cards For Men is an easy peasy one! Yup its time for 'Anything Goes'.. well as long as it's male that is!! This fortnight we are sponsored by the fabby Digital Delights, they were so lovely to supply us all with images but unfortunately i didn't get the chance to use any of mine (life, work & exhaustion has a real habit of getting in the way at the moment!! grrr!) but make sure you go check out the rest of the Design Teams examples!

Here is mine.. not a card but a lovely treat box!

Sorry about the poor photos i will try and take better ones sometime this week! This was super easy to make once i figured out the dimensions and sizes of paper etc! I am planning to make a few of these for a couple of craft shows i am hoping to have a stand at soon!! Hopefully i will get to show you more of these kinda creations this week!

I used my lovely new Echo Park Papers, they are lovely and have such fabby traditional colours which makes a change for me as i am usually all about the contemporary! I also teamed this up with my lovely new swirl die and of course a lovely LOTV image! I filled my treat box as you can see with loads of scrummy choccies, i have to say it was a job keeping Lissy away from these!!!

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges....

Crimbo Treat Bag

All this working malarky has definitely killed my crafting mojo, time & energy!!

I have managed to make a few bits and pieces this weekend which i will show you over the next couple of days, i need to get a wriggle on as i need to be creating lots of bits for craft fairs, presents and of course blooming Christmas which is looming closer!!

Lissy wanted to help me create last night so we made a cute little gift box with ribbon round the handles! Inside as you can see are matching cute little covered chocolate coins! She chose the images bless her probably because she thinks it looks like her! They are perfect little gifts to make for her school buddies this christmas and sooooo quick, easy and cheap!

I am pleased i am finally using some of these images that Lissy begged me to get, i did wonder when they would get used! I am in serious desperate need of new Copics as all my usual colours seem to have run out so it's definitely the time to use images & die cuts!

Supplies - Kanban Images, SU Punches, SU Cardstock & Ribbon

With Love At Christmas

Well i did say i am loving LOTV at the moment so here is another lil creation using these fabby designs!!! I am on a Christmas role now, well i have to be as i have just started supplying another new local shop so i need to get my butt into gear and get creating!

I used some of my new fabby Echo Park Papers from MMCS! They are lovely 12x12 double sided beautiful cardstock weight papers! They all coordinate so beautifully, def gotta be using these alot more! Now this time i think you can see some of the glitter a bit better!

I just love sparkle & girlyness!!
