Round and round in circles!

I have been having a crafty day, as it is so wet and miserable outside.
I have cut this on my cuttlebug, using scalloped circles, and plain circles.
The wee stamp is by Stampin Up and it fits the scallop punch perfectly.
I tied some string around it, and added a wee silver apple charm.
I am entering it in the following
Emergency Crafters  -  circles
Polkadoodles  - Summer (the colours are summery)
Paper Minutes  -  charms

Check out this candy

Who wants some Tim Holtz candy?!



Up for grabs:

Amy at Stampin Stuff has this candy up for grabs  but be quick - it closes Thursday

    It's been a while!!

    It has been over a month since I have been able to make any cards, as we have been away on holidays! I have been having a little play with oil pastels, and created this card following the directions of Helen Chilton in Craft Stamper magazine.
    The stamp is from Hero Arts, and the die-cut is Memory Box.
    I stamped the image twice more on teal/blue card, and cut and layered them, one over the original image, and one for an embellishment.
     I would like to enter the following challenges
    Paperminutes  for 'no people or animals'
    Samuel Taylor's Crafts  for die cuts
    Simply Create Too  for use it twice (I used 2 flowers)
    Bizzy Becs  for flower power

    Black and White

    I love black and white, so when I saw this challenge at Just Some Lines, I knew I had to enter.
    I have used a white diecut shape that was sent to me and added a rub on sentiment by Kaisercraft. I made the flower from a Basic Grey 6x6 pad called 'Out of Print', finished off with a candi type stick-on
    Hope you like it!

    Edited to add that I drew first place with this card - how exciting!

    My take on bunting

    I made this recently for a thank-you item. The pink background has a lovely texture with a gold fleck through it.
    The sentiment is gold embossed and cut out with a label die, and is slightly raised in the centre.
    The butterfly, which was a gift from a fellow crafter, has been coloured with gold, and gold halo Lumiere paints and also used the gold to edge the pink card

    Today's card uses a gorgeous digi from Saturated Canary, which I have coloured with Promarkers. The pretty paper in the background is from a wonderful 6x6 paper pad that I won from Cindy Vernon. I have added a printed sentiment, some lace, and a little pink butterfly.

    Friends

    I was rather pleased with the way this one finished.
    I found a lovely background to print from Astrid's site, and have layered it onto blue metallic card.The nesties label is cut with my cuttlebug and the words are a lovely rub-on that I bought in Australia. I tied the label on with matching blue sheer ribbon, cut out a flower from some old lace and adhered it to blue card. I coloured the pearls and rhinestones with copics. (used 3 of each)

    I would like to enter the following challenges

    Polkadoodles   - use 3 of something (it's their 3rd birthday)
    Artful Times #5    -  ribbon and lace
    Joanna Sheen    -  remember when  (has a nostalgic look)
