DELIGHTFUL CHALLENGES 

Their theme this week is 

ADD A SENTIMENT

I really want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments and kindness, I hope to see you all later.

Question

Is anybody else having problems with Blogger?  I seem to be having MEGA ones, I can't leave comments and nothing seems to be working as it should be, when I click on comment and the box comes up it just stays blank. Any suggestions (polite ones) are welcome.

Thank you so much for all the comments that I have got regarding the problems with Blogger, I am so glad that I am not alone, I turned the laptop off completely this afternoon in complete frustration, I had a headache and was tempted to throw the laptop in the bin I had had enough, lol.  I am back I am able to comment but not sure for how long, I really hope that this gets sorted, before I go completely grey, lol.

GDT FOR THE ABC CHALLENGE-U FOR UNIQUE

Hi all, I was chosen as one of the top 5 in the ABC challenge last month then invited to be their GDT for the month of October, well here I am showing off my UNIQUE project which is a double card tag, if that doesn't make sense then follow me onto my picture display and details......but first let me tell you about the challenge itself.

U  for UNIQUE (Anything goes but make it a one of a kind item)

Ok let me explain what I have done, I had a bit of a brainwave, lol, I bought some very large tags last month 8.5" x 3.5", I covered one with some Christmas paper from a pad that I have had for awhile, I then added a 5" x 5" card tag, I covered the top of the card tag with some more of the Christmas paper and re-punched the holes in both the card and tag so I could pull the ribbon through, are you with me so far? 

I then adhered a white doily to the reverse of the card tag and glued it to the large tag. 

I then started to add my embellishments and image,  my embellishments consist of some postage stamps that are part of one of the Christmas paper designs I chose some and cut them out, I also added a sentiment banner, snowflake and a flower.  

This next picture is a closer look at my image which of course is Tilda she is a Christmas Tilda that I have had for a few years but she can be used for any occasion, I stamped her with Momento Tuxedo ink, coloured her with Graph It Markers then cut her out, I also stamped out the candy cane and bow image which is also from Magnolia, I cut it out and sat Tilda on it. 

The next picture shows the inside of the card tag, I used some more of the papers, stamped a sentiment then punched it out. 

The next picture show a different view 

my final picture shows a close up Tilda 

After reading my details and seeing the pictures I hope it now all makes sense, lol, if not just ask me some questions.

I have scheduled this post but would like to enter my card into the following challenges, I will be back a little later to link them up.

Fantasy Fae Ivy Wand Elf

I have coloured her with Graph It Markers and Copics, I mounted her onto gold mirri card, I used my EK Success cutter for the gold mirri card circle and the green paper which I have had for yonks, it is from Elusive Images (Chocolate Baroque) it has a lovely leafy design on which I thought was perfect for this image.  I used my ivy corner die for the corners and a Spellbinder die for the decorative strip across the centre, I coloured a white gold foiled sentiment tag and used twine for the attachment.
