Allsorts Challenge - 3 punches


Hi


This weeks its 3 punches at allsorts. I have made a christmas card using a penny black image, papers are a mix of doodlebug and papermania. I have used a swirl punch, a die shape which i hope will count and a martha stewart punch.


I have also used some hobby house pearls and a crafters companion greeting.

Another Blog Award.......






Thank you very much queen of craft Kay Carley for my blog award. I am really pleased. I don't have a lot of followers but truly love my blog and get a real pleasure from those who pop by and leave a comment.
3 things i love about myself (i am not good at this bit):

Naughty sense of humour


Patience


my crafty obsessions!


A picture i love.....well it is above and is me at my sisters wedding. I lost a massive amount of weight to fit this dress and went from a size 20 in it to a size 14, i was told to look sexy and straddle the bentley and i am quite proud of how i look in it.

Thanks Kay

My First Blog Award


Hi


I have been away for a week but am back raring to go with the challenges.....


My craft partner in crime Sharon has awarded me my first blog award which i am truly chuffed about.


Apparently i now need to say why i started blogging and give it to 10 deserving crafters (very challenging).


So why the craftnut blog! I have always been crafty, when i was a little tot i loved glitter and chibbling according to my mum, have always enjoyed sewing and neddlepoint and tried most crafts at one time or another. I have made cards for a few years now and started blogging when i was looking at some of the work in Craft Stamper, googled some of the artists and discovered a new world with challenges. I started my first challenge with the Penny Black saturday challenge and have tried to enter every week since, along with some other favourites!


So who are my 10 favourites - well i got to 7 at the moment!
Thanks
