Funky Fairys Challenge #40

Thanks to everyone who took part in last weeks challenge which was "Picture It", there was only a few of you who entered but all of your creations were gorgeous.

This weeks Funky Fairy Challenge is....

"Touchy Feely"

We would like to see you use different textures on your projects.

The DT have all been busy creating what we hope is some inspiring projects for you, and we also welcome our Guest Designer Suzy, who is joining us for the next two challenges.  Please be sure to check out all the DT's and GD creations.  Here's mine...

This is a tree, as you can see...lol.  I have painstakingly covered a polystyrene cone with lots and lots of cut out paper triangles.  The baubles are headed pins then added the thin tinsel around it.  The tree trunk is a bunch of wooden kebab sticks which stand in a cotton reel that I've covered with velvety xmas ribbon.  I just saw this polystyrene cone at Hobbycraft last week and had myself a little lightbulb moment...lol.  I think you'll agree there is plenty of texture to this tree, not quite sure about the star on top, may have to rethink this before I put it out at Christmas.

RECIPE

Papers - Funky Fairys 'Shabby Christmas'

Other Materials - Polystyrene Cone, Kebab Sticks, Cotton Reel, Wide Ribbon, Star Decoration, Headed Pins, Thin Tinsel.

I just about used three A4 Sheets of patterned paper to make up this tree.

We do hope you will join us for this weeks challenge, we look forward to seeing your work.

Hugs

My altered project is a Loo Roll Book.  I've used the cardboard tubes from the middle of toilet rolls, which have been flattened and covered with papers.  Each tube acts as a two-sided page, you can then add ATC's or tags to sit in the individual pockets, I've yet to add these as I'm using this book in a loo roll book swap over on Magical Crafts so wanted to keep the tags/ATC's a surprise for the recipient.

Funky Fairys Challenges and Blog Hop

***BLOG HOP & CANDY NOW CLOSED***

Welcome to the 1st Funky Fairy's Blog Hop to celebrate the merging of the Shop & Challenge Design Teams. We thought that we had to mark this occasion & celebrate with a "Funky Fairy" party . . . or a blog hop in this instance!

Now the theme this week over on the Challenge Blog is "Case It". This simply means that we have been looking at each others fab projects and choosing one to "CASE" (case is an acronym for Copy And Share Everything) so you create a project using someone else's work as your inspiration but do not need to copy it exactly. Well as you can imagine all the DT members got involved & have pulled "a blinder" this week and if you follow the blog hop you will see all their brilliant projects. Please do leave a comment on every blog you visit to be eligible for the fab prize being offered by Funky Fairy's Papercrafts (via the Inspiration Blog) . . . we will check you know!

Here is my project . . . .

 

  

Now I drew inspiration for this mosaic box by CASING a wonderful project by Lorraine for the 'Dare To Be Sqaure' challenge back in April.  Here is a picture of Lorraine's inspiring project.

For my box I used Funky Fairys 'Simply Brushed' papers for the mosaic squares. The box was a plain wooden craft box from The Range.  I painted the box lid with grey acrylic paint and the box base with purple and green twinkling H2O's then rubbed down with some sandpaper.

Now you have just left Jilly's blog & already got their letter but please don't forget to collect my letter which is "N". At this point you should have 8 letters. The next blog you need to pop over & visit is Ginny's Blog. If you have not collected all the previous letters, please pop back to the beginning of our blog hop over on the Inspiration Blog.

****CANDY ALERT****

I'm offering one lucky winner a little bit of candy to be eligble for my candy draw you must have taken part in the Blog Hop, so when you leave a comment please say your on the "Funky Blog Hop".  The candy will close at 9 a.m. (GMT) on Friday 4th September.  A winner will be drawn randomly and announced on the new Funky Fairy challenge and on here next Wednesday 9th September.  Now what is the candy you are wondering, well the lucky winner will recieve the above mosaic box which I made for this weeks challenge with some surprises inside.

We do hope you are enjoying the Funky Fairys Blog Hop and it would be wonderful if you took part in our CASE It challenge too, where this week the challenge is also being sponsered by Simon Says Stamp. 

Enjoy your day!!!

This is a scheduled post written last night as I'm at work today so I've no update on Dusty really except we managed to get a few teaspoons of the high protein food from the vet down him last night and a little water, so maybe the antibiotics are working. Steve's on Dusty sitting duty today and he'll have the task of trying to get the antibiotic capsule down him, that should be fun, it takes military precision just to get a worming tablet down him. Thanks to everyone for all your kind words and thoughts.

Funky Fairys Challenges #27

Thanks to everyone who joined in with last weeks 'GIRLY' Challenge, wow there was some wonderful creations and always a pleasure visiting your blogs.

This week over on Funky Fairys Challenges we have another theme for you...

"THINKING OF YOU"

The DT have all been really busy with their creations, so there's lots of inspiration to be found, so make sure you take a look. And here's mine....

I've used Funky Fairys 'Distressing Vines'. I punched holes through the paper and weaved the ribbon through then added a bow to the corner. The sentiment was a peel-off I then chalked and inked the area, then removed the peel-off. Cut out the sentiment using labels 2 nesties in the bug and mounted onto some more of the DP. Added a touch of faux stitching around the edges of the papers. Punched flowers from the papers and layered together with foam pads to add a bit height.

I do hope you'll join us this week for the challenge the DT are ready and eager to visit your blogs to check out your creations.

Need some Funky Fairys papers??

Ribbon is from stash, added some tiny pearl flower rings with a pearl brad through them to the handle bases. Finished with a plastic black flower centre and another pearl flower ring with a pink gem in the middle to the bottom corner of the sentiment.

Funky Fairys Challenge #25

It's Wednesday and that means it's Funky Fairys Challenge Day!!!

Thanks to everyone who took part in last weeks challenge are you the winner? Go check out the FF challenge blog to find out.

This week we have a fabby sketch by Jilly....

You can change the sizes of the squares, turn the sketch to landscape and add any embellishments as long as your finished project shows resemblence to the above sketch!!

Here's my take on the sketch...

This has to be the tallest card I've ever made, it's A4 folded lengthways!! Coloured Tilda with copics and a touch of sakura stardust applied with a waterbrush to her wings. The papers, cupcake images and sentiment are all from the gorgeous Funky Fairys Cupcake Crazy kit, I bet you can tell I love this as I've used it so much lately, there's just so much to choose from in the kit and I want to use it all!!! lol. I coloured the cupcakes with copics and used blue stickles on the hundreds and thousands. Instead of adding corners I've used card candy. I'm yet to tackle making an envelope for this leggy creation, but I know I have some A3 paper so will give it a bash.

Don't forget to check out all the other DT creations, all amazing takes on the sketch to help inspire you.

I know there are so many challenges out in blogland right now but if you've never taken part in the Funky Fairys Challenge why not pop over and give it a go, we would love to see you. You could win a FF download if you've used at least one Funky Fairy product on your creation.

Don't forget to check out the Funky Fairys Shop too, not only will you see a big picture of me on the homepage (I'm shop DT of the month!!), but you can check out all the gorgeous kits available for download, and if you fancied treating yourself you wouldn't need to rob a bank.

Funky Fairys Challenge #23

"BEACH"

Yes it's a beach theme, we want to see your creations using this theme be it a card, ATC, altered item etc..

Remember to be in with a chance of winning a wonderful Funky Fairy download you must use at least one FF papercraft item on your creation. Check out the links below for Funky Fairy products:

The Funky Fairys Papercraft Shop - online download shop!!

The DT have been working hard this week to create some inspiring projects for you, so be sure to check them out on the challenge blog and you can visit their blogs by clicking on their names.

Here is my DT project for the 'Beach Theme'.

I've used FF papers from 'It's So Distressing Vol.5 for the castle and 'Gorjuss Ginghams' for the flag. I cut the castle shape by hand approx 6" width at the bottom, finishing as approx 5 1/2" width across the top, the height is the approx 7 1/2". Mounted the castle shape onto a 5 x 5 base card. I've used some shells which I've had in my craft stash for years, and stuck them along the bottom, then used some card candy as pebbles running along the top. I made the flag using a cocktail stick then hand cut the flag attaching to the cocktail stick. With some scissors I carefully shaped the flag into a wave to give some defintition. The poem I found on an internet search and is by John McLeod, cut using Labels 2 nesties in the bug and also mounted onto some embossed pearlised cream card, lightly chalked in blue. And finally before mounting the poem onto the card I punched some holes in two corners and tied some beige funky wool through them. Below is a closer picture of the poem.

I do hope you'll join us for this weeks challenge the DT love visiting your blogs and seeing all your creations!!!

Well what wonderful weather we are having here in the UK this week, it looks like it's going to be another scorcher today, but I must do some crafting today in my little craft cave after a being a little slack the past few days what with going out with Emma on Monday then yesterday Steve and myself headed to the coast ending up at Cleethorpes and then Mablethorpe with Mollie for a good old run on the beach and a paddle. The only thing I miss from living down in Sussex is the sea, living only 5 mins from the sea was lovely, though Worthing beach doesn't have the lovely sand that we see on the beaches on some of the north east coast, but I do love the sea air. We enjoyed yesterday so much we're hoping to do it again tomorrow. Enjoy your day everyone!!
