Hello Nomad friends. Time is flying but you still have a couple of days to join lots of challenges. The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge is still open and there are lots of amazing sponsors. The Lost Coast Portal to Creativity also has a Cat Challenge, but don't forget to include real stamping on your catty anything. I made a cute little Christmas card using a Hunkydory topper and an embossed snowflake background.
I embossed the snowflakes on some black ribbed paper and smeared with blue distress oxide ink. I mounted it askew on a yellow card base and smeared the exposed corners with the same blue ink. Add the topper and sentiment and done.

Hello Nomad friends. Yeah! the weekend, and rolling towards month's end and the most Bootastic time of the year. But first a little Christmas bear action.
I've used the BYSHC sketch and a scrap of card I stamped and embossed with lots of holiday words. I used a lovely piece of burgundy patterned paper with gold foil detail for the second layer so decided to used a vellum layer on top so it wasn't totally hidden. Die cut the bear and embossed with a scandi folder and cut a co-ordinating scandi border from white scraps.

Hello Nomad friends. I made another shaker since the last one was a roaring success.
I used Unity Old Bird stamp and partially fussy cut around the old lady before slipping in an arch die to cut my shaker window. Using a single piece of foam cut with the same die behind the stamped panel is a winner in my book. Used Autumn colours on the old lady and found some lovely sequins in autumn shades for the shaker.

Hello Nomad friends. Isn't it nice to stretch the supplies and make em do things a bit differently. I used a die that is supposed to be used for boxes to make a lot of fringes from scraps of patterned paper.
I glued down the uncut bits and left the fringes to flap around. Then I added three wooden painted embellishments that I believe came as a freebie in an order. Aren't they adorbs!!!!

Hello Nomad friends. I have had a bit of a make-it weekend. Despite an impromptu party last evening. I just had to ink up this cool Carabelle Studio duck Jo sent me.
I kept it simple with one of my favourite Carmen's Veranda sentiments.

And I also had a go at weaving a christmas heart shaped basket. The jury is out but I like my bubble wrap stamped background. And the soft pink glitter snowflakes.

Hello Nomad friends. I finally finished a fancy fold card I started putting together a while ago. Snowflakes were the answer.
I die cut the snowflakes from silver glitter card. The one in the middle I cut twice and stuck them back to back cos you can see the back of that one when the card is closed.

Hello Nomad friends. Isn't it great when guests descend and a fun time is had by all. Even got a game of scrabble in, although scrabble in Norwegian is still a bit of a reach for me. I still have trouble with those weird letter combos. Will just have to play more often bwahahaahahahah. Anyway, the guests have staggered off into the windy night and I am going for a little midnight crafting. What better at midnight than bats!!!
I've used Poppystamps Batty Triptych die and a white textured base card which I smeared with black ink. I added a purple layer embossed with a swirly folder and smeared with black ink. I found a couple of scraps of card painted with Aztec purple pearlescent paint and cut them into squares big enough for the batty squares, which I cut from black scraps. I layered the batty positive and negative cuts on the painty squares and then arranged them on my embossed panel.
Hope you are having a great weekend. Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

Hello Nomad friends. I love games, and Halloween, and Lost Coast Design stamps! So I put em all together today for day 17 of the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity 31 Days of Halloween celebration.

Hello Nomad friends. I've been playing with some aall and create stamps and also turned up some long lost galaxy markers.
I used a purple galaxy marker on the edge of my card base and also on the skull noses. I added a green panel stamped with A&C Lined Crescent stamped with prickly pear archival ink. I stamped the A&C quirks bodies directly on the card and coloured with blue galaxy marker. I stamped the heads on white scraps, added some blue and purple galaxy marker colour, fussy cut and glued them on the bodies. A couple of small sentiments from A&C choose happy and done.

Hello Nomad friends. Today I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some sweet Halloween inspiration. I'm sharing a treat holder I made using the awesome Frank by Carmen's Veranda for the 31 Days of Halloween event.
Hello Nomad friends. Gosh Friday the 13th bwaahahahaahahahaaha. Hope you have a wonderful day. I'm back in a bootastic mood with a couple of dies from Poppystamps. Oldies but goodies.
Navy base card and I cut a black panel using a Simon Says Stamp rectangle stitch die. I cut Poppystamps House in the Woods into the black panel and backed the windows with some orange scraps. I cut two different gold cardstock pieces with a 2.5" circle die, cut Poppystamps Kitty Cat Face into one and layered them together. Then just a matter of layering everything up for a purrfect moonlit scene.

Hello Nomad friends. This month we are remembering our friend Janis Woolbright who passed away in January this year. Many of you may have known Janis from her Cat's Lovers Hop, or crossed her path on various challenges, or you may have been the recipient of love and comments from her. Jo is hosting a memorial Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge over at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge and today we are launching an additional game for you to play along with. I have gone though some of Janis' blog posts and pulled out a number of cards featuring techniques and themes that Janis liked to use and I have put them together in a Tic-Tac-Toe board. This game is independent of the main Christmas Kickstart Cat Lovers Challenge and has it's own linky. You can make a card for the Tic-Tac-Toe and also enter it in the main challenge if you also include a cat, and you can link it up to other challenges on other sites. This of course means you actually have more chances at all the amazing sponsor prizes that are available this month at Christmas Kickstart Challenge cos there will be a prize for this game too. Here's the board I put together with Janis' awesome cards.
To enter this challenge make a CHRISTMAS CARD using three options from the board on a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line. The options are in white writing at the bottom of each picture.
Max 3 entries per person.
