Thank You

I received this beautiful card from my good friend Sanne. Isn't it gorgeous? I just love the colours and the cute Kitty. Sanne also made the below Hello Kitty creations with her Mum Agnes using the new Cricut Hello Kitty cartridge. The card is for my Mum and a cute little note book for Danni and I. Thank you dear friend we love them so much!

Crafty Monkey's Challenge 14 - Sketch by Hannah

We have a great sketch for you to follow this week at Crafty Monkey's created by friend Hannah. This is the first time I have followed a sketch. Thank you Hannah and I loved working with your sketch!

We also welcome Emily as our Guest Designer this week. Thank you Emily for your gorgeous card. You can visit Emily here over at her Mum Rhonda's blog.

We have a great prize this challenge which has been kindly donated by Karin. Thank you so much and i'm sure one lucky player is going to love this pretty paper and embellishment kit. My Mum will also include some stamped images with the prize.

I had great fun making my card and didn't use any patterned paper this challenge. I had fun with my Mum's cuttlebug and got a little carried away embossing card for fun! The cute image is High Hopes Chef Pierre. The sentiment is from an SU set for sale-a-bration.

Hope you like our challenge and find time to get crafty and don't forget to enter my blog candy below.

Blog Candy - Now Closed!

I am excited to tell you that today an article I wrote for my school newspaper "Crowlands Crunchers" was published! I wrote the article about my blog and also my challenge website Crafty Monkey's which I co-run with my friend Hannah.

Here is a copy of the page from the newsletter. You will need to click it to read. Sorry for the poor quality but we couldn't get it to scan very well.

I asked my Mum if I could have some blog candy when my counter hits 5000.. Well it's nearly there and with my article being published today thought it was time to celebrate now.

To enter my blog candy please leave a comment on this post and help spread the word by posting about my candy on your blog. My blog candy includes K&Company Brenda Walton Designer Mat Pad, Wooden hearts, an acrylic calendar stamp and the cute fox stamp. I will also make a special card for you and my Mum will stamp some Hanglar images. If you do not have a blog don't worry just email me and I will include you in the draw.

The closing date for my candy is Saturday 31st January.

Good Luck!

Crafty Monkey's Challenge 13 ~ Something New!

Crafty Monkey's is back from our Christmas break and hope you all had a fun Christmas and and received lots of goodies from Santa.

This weeks challenge we are asking you to create a card or paper project with the theme:

Something New

Don't worry if you don't have something new as you could always raid your Mum's stash - Sorry Mum's! Remember if you do not have the appropriate stamp we love seeing your hand drawn work.

We have a great prize this challenge which has been kindly donated by Karin. Karin is the Mum of our two regular players Ruby and Britt. Thank you so much and i'm sure one lucky player is going to love this cute stamp set.. I know we do!

On my card today I have used my Mum's new square Nestabilites and also my new "Handmade by Zoe" stamp which was a gift from my friends Karin, Ruby and Britt. Thank you so much and I love it!

I also raided my Mum's stamps and used the cute dragon Albert, Dragon Prints and "Hugs and Hugs" Sentiment. I added some stickles to give him some sparkle and some gems for his flowers. I love using my Mum's Wizard to cut the nestabilities. My Mum did help me put the card together.

I have also made my card this week to join in with the High Hopes Challenge - Torn Edges. My card will be going to California as a surprise for my Mum's friend Tina's Grandfather. Tina is the very kind and generous owner of High Hopes Rubber Stamps and if you too would like to send her Grandfather a birthday card to make his day extra special can find details on my Mum's blog here.

Hope you get time to join in our challenge.

Love
