Anything But a Quirky Card!!

 Hi guys! Hope all are well and fighting fit! And those who aren't please get well soon. It's that Quirky Time again when I wonder if it really is Sunday or am I still dreaming and it's Monday morning and I've forgot to go to work... (I did do that last week!) Anyway!! We have a new challenge starting over on Quirky Crafts challenge blog, sponsored by Robyn's Fetish. Don't forget to read the post! Loads last time didn't and missed adding 'stuff' to their fabulous creations, so couldn't really be counted! This fortnight  it's Caro's turn to set the theme and she has chosen...

A.B.C. which means Anything But a Card using Autumn Colours!!

Here's my make.  I've done a bit of recycling and used a black bag I had some pressies in. Cut it down a bit, and then covered it with some orangey/browny Halloween papers (by Bearly Mine, a mixture of bought as well as freebies,and made a Trick Or Treat Bag. Find them,  HERE and here... here and here (although they may all lead to the same place) On the front of the bag I've added BearlyAPumpkin   by our sponsor, which is  on sale at the moment $2.50 now $1.63 (Not sure what that is in pounds) and some punched out Tags using up some scraps, one of those is a PinkPetticoat  paper and the Boo paper is by....ummmm? Linked it before.....here's a card I made using the Boo papers HERE and the freebie papers can be found HERE That should keep you busy for a little while!

 I've added eyelets and eyelash wool to black cord handles and a little silver coloured metel clip to help keep it closed. 

The Font is a freebie. It looks like bones and is called HeadHunter download it HERE

Hope my Trick or Treat bag gives you some ideas. For more just pop over to Quirky Crafts to see what the rest of the team has come up with!

Down On The Quirky Farm!

It's That Quirky Time Again!!! Quirky Crafts Challenge should have started over on the challenge blog. And if you're reading this, yay! the timer's worked! It is Caro's turn to set the theme this week and being a country girl (like me!) and remembering all those hot summer days playing around on the farm as a child, Caro's decided that this challenge will be....

Recycling on the Farm

Easy! Anything to do with farms, animals, barns, tractors etc BUT she would also like you to include at least one recycled element on your creation! (Ok...who thought of manure??)

We are lucky enough to have two sponsors this week. More prizes!! The first prize, chosen by the design team, will receive some lovely 'Moo' ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, and the second prize is a $5 gift voucher from our other sponsor Digital delights.
I didn't make a card this time. I made this Alphabet Hanging thing-me-jig, the idea is, once you have all twenty six made they could lace or clip together like a book..(or hang around a room) I used cardboard from a cat food box as my recycled thing and some garden raffia from the green house. (I dusted off the cobwebs first!) The tiny buttons I'm sure are by Woodware. The chicken ribbons you can see in the top photo, came from Crafty Ribbons (I won loads of them one Easter!)
I've coloured both Farmer Giles and Claudia Cow with Promarkers from our sponsors and put them together, in Word. No 3D-ing this time, just the one layer.
I was going to just use the 'grass' and flowers paper, but I didn't have enough. (think that came from Hobby Craft) The brown whirly paper behind it, came in a 'Goody Bag' called Sugar & Spice by Dovecraft. Also have some clear stamps and brads to match (Note to self ..use them!)
The font I've used you probably already have, it's called Arial Rounded MT Bold or Google the name.

I've also been having a go at making a new 'Badge' for the store. I've added it to the corner of some of the pictures. Not sure about the yellow, might change it to blue...or green...maybe blue! I've used my Hedgie with his Watering Can. What d'you think? It's not quite finished but I'm quite chuffed with myself seeing I have cheese for brains! Thanks really goes to the Bugaboo Bear, which I have to add to my Catch the Bug GDT cards, didn't I get mad with that!!! And then it just suddenly clicked how I could do the same with this badge, which I've had kicking around for ages. That's it! Call into Quirky Craft and have a go! Thanks for stopping by! Back laters to add some...
