Good afternoon, I'm sorry I'm running a little late today but this week is the last challenge of the year for the Crafty Catz, the DT are taking a well earned break to spend time with their loved ones over the festive period and we all wish you a wonderful festive break.  So back to our challenge this week which is everyone's favourite 'Anything Goes' and this week it is the turn of our fabulous leader Carol to choose the twist for the DT to do and she has chosen the twist of 'Funny' - time for a laugh.  Our sponsor this week is the wonderful and generous

For my card I have used a wonderful Stella ~ Eat More Cake image from our sponsor, coloured with copics and SN then added Sparkle and 3d glaze.  I heat and dry embossed a piece of Kraft cs for the background (not done that in a long while) Die cut some cakes, added some cupcake ribbon and finished off with a sentiment that comes with the image.

Long Time No Play

Ok I seem to be struggling some what with my mojo. You'd think after not properly crafting for 2 months, following my thumb op, I'd be steaming ahead with ideas a plenty, but no such luck! lol  Anyway I really wanted to play along at The East Wind and the newsletter came for this month along with a cute Christmas kitty so I thought what better opportunity!  So I have spent a long time pushing bits of paper around my desk and moving die cuts here there and everywhere but it just wasn't happening and in the end I managed to make a simple little card but at least i managed something and I can play along with their challenge which is 'Meowy Christmas'  Hope I find my mojo soon!

Paper is from Raspberry Road Designs, cs is from my stash, image is coloured with copics, SN and Sparkles, added 3d glaze to the lights and glamour dust to the top of the stocking.  The embossed border is using a new folder that came with the Crafters Inspiration magazine issue 12.  Die cut holly leaves, gem berries and finished off with a peel off sentiment!

PRIZE ....1 BUNDLE OF CHOICE FROM ETSY SHOP

For my easel card I have used a fantastic Gus image and sentiment from Bugaboo Stamps, I do love a good Gus image and thought he would be perfect for a card for my OH who celebrated turning 50 on Sunday.  I have coloured the image using copics and SNs and some 3d gloss for his glasses, paper is First Edition Neroli and I have used scrap of cs for the matting, sentiment and balloon. The balloon is a die cut and the speech bubble is cut on the Cricut.  Kept it fairly simple as OH don't too fancy! lol
