Craft Challenge projects

Good Morning Ladies,

Oh my goodness I am so excited to share all of your amazing crafts Ladies, you have all come up with so amazing designs........

Micheles's projects are all amazing, a fantastic Memo block holder, that includes a calendar, which is a genius addition, particularly when you are sat making notes while on the phone. 

A desk calendar made using pretty patterned paper and a little calendar, such a simple design but a genius idea.  

Last up is the cutest gift box I have ever seen, this cute little duck is do cute, they make great party bag box, or little lunch box for a picnic.  Thank you so much Michele xxx

Lynda, oh my goodness, 3 stunning pieces of art!  One amazing Frame, two canvases, all of which were created using  Pebeo paints. 

Lynda, you have found your 'niche'! You are amazing at creating such depth and texture, each one is individual, some have metal embellishments on, which gives even more dimension. You are amazing at these 'arty' things Lynda, thank you so much for sharing. Xxx

Maria, I live your Chocolate Bar Wrapper, you have decorated it so perfectly too, I love how you have coloured you image too, such delicate shades, it really works 

Next up Maria's amazing Frame, it has a lovely sentiment and stamped image are the perfect centre piece for that beautifully​ decorated frame. Thank you so much for taking  part. XXx

Lilian, I absolutely love this project and the whole idea behind it.  Each flower has been made with a piece of card, then folded in a simple origami type fold.

A few of these gathered together make a beautiful bouquet, Lilian makes these to take into ladies that are in Hospital and can't have cut Flowers, such a fantastic idea Lilian, I know Iwould have loved to be looking at one these in hospital, thank you so much Lilian xxx

Val, wow what a fantastic idea! So much nicer than sticking it in a bottle bag! 

I love the glitzy jacket and bow tie. I had noticed that the bottle was empty though Val !! Thank you so much for taking part xxx

Janet has created a beautiful card with stunning box to present it in, I love the colours you have used Janet.

 Janet's next craft is a  gorgeous large tag, decorated with gorgeous material, with matching flower trim around the whole outer edge of the frame.  I love how you have turned the resin lady into an angel using an appliqué butterfly as the wings, absolutely stunning Janet, thank you for sharing them xxx

Karen has created these two amazing framed works of art! 

My daughter's friends have been celebrating their 30th birthday's recently and I have made a couple of these pictures as part of their gift to the recipient.

 This is the latest one. The "girls" compile a list of words that are relevant to the recipient and I create the "piece" in Serif using the font Vagabond. There are 100's of these ideas on Pinterest/Etsy/Not on the High Street/Getting Personal etc and are obviously quite expensive. This cost the price of a cheap frame and a piece of A4 card

Oscar was about 7 months old and we bought the letters "D" and "A" from Hobbycraft. The frame is from The Range. We took loads of photos and it was hard to decide on which three to use. I turned them black and white in Serif and cropped them to size. It's not a brilliant photo as it was difficult trying not to get reflections from the glass.

Two amazing and very professional looking gift ideas, I love the Dad Frame, so personal and so perfectly finished!  

Thank you so much Karen for taking part xxx

Margaret made one of Karen's Chocolate Bar wrappers, it's so pretty, you have decorated it so beautifully.  I hope you have more of the Chocolate today(if it's still there) 

Weren't they all amazing, ?! You are all so talented​ Ladies,, thinking caps on for next weeks Challenge ladies, always open to try a new idea. 

Have a lovely Sunday

Love and hugs

Sandra
