November challenge

some of my Paper Doll friends have sent me their cards for the challenge I set for this month and here they are....
 
Firstly Kerry decided to use
 
A background from her part done box.
 A topper from her part done box.
Buttons.
Ribbon.
A stamp she'd never used before.
 
and this is the result....
 
well done Kerry on using bits from your part done box and a neglected stamp :o)
 
Gillian used
flowers
metal butterfly
metal buckle
piece of a jigsaw
and some ribbon
 
with this result....
 
 
you cannot see it very well in the photo but their is some subtle stamping added to the background card (think you can just make it out in the left hand top corner - looks very classy.
 
 
Sylvi went for
a feather
buttons
brads
flowers
and beads
 
and another fab result...
 
such a lovely blend of autumnal colours - well done Sylvi.
 
 
Chrissie selected
a handmade topper
flock paper
rub on stars
a peel off
and a card flower
 
and this beauty materialised...
 
 
 
 


 

a bit of this and some of that...

.... although awol from here I have been making a few things in my crafty room.  Seem to be into boxes and bags at the moment, so here are a few that I made with my Ultimate Pro....


firstly three bags....
 
 



 
then I started on boxes,  you can't really see the design on the top of this one in this picture but...

 
 
it comes across better in this picture - always handy to have a masculine little box ready to pop a little gift in for the men in your life....

 
I really enjoyed making this heart box and there will be many more coming off the production line shortly.....


 
finally a little wedgewood box...

 
I also wanted to make a special card for a friend who became a great grandmother this week (I still say impossible, she is much too young) and although this isn't the 'normal' style of baby card I wanted to incorporate the baby's name - Poppy - so used my all time favourite poppy stamp.
