Here is my take on the 'Winged' Challenge over on This Thursday
I used one of my pastel grunge look papers from Cosmo Cricket stamped it with my fave flower stamp in white on the background, gave these 2 little angels wings, stamped out the meaning of friend, added a few gems and a couple dragonfly brads. xxx
H•A•P•P•Y B•I•R•T•H•D•A•Y to Linda from the other Papergirls... Chris, Denise, Rosie and Chriss xxx have a fab day.
The background paper used on this Friends ATC is the fabulous Cosmo Cricket range.

I bought this fantastic stamp in memory of my dad who served in the RAF for 22yrs. I purchased it from Crafty Individuals they have the most amazing stamps.
I have stamped it onto a linen picture postcard I bought whilst on holiday with Ray in Granada, Spain, it holds special memories for me.

Just 25mins ago I realised I had not made a house for Dans challenge over HERE so I quickly put this one together just so I didnt miss it again this week. Onto a scrap piece of Cosmo Cricket paper I stamped the only Eiffel tower stamp I have ..sorry if you have seen it before...added a3 old postage stamps and franked away. Finished and blogged in no time. Phew!
The house shape is from one of the templates Linda sent me ...thanx Linda. xx
The front cover and one page from this beautiful Quote book that has been put together by our talented designer Linda. 
All the papers are Cosmo Cricket, mainly the ‘Gretel’ and ‘Be Good’ ranges (Peppermint Candy and Believe).
I for one love these papers.... See more of Lnda's work HERE
Thanx Linda for your giving us some of your creative time. xx
I coated a white ATC in ink then removed some of the ink in places using a mixture of house hold bleach and water... then built up more ink by adding it to a small piece of bubble wrap to make a background.. coated this fabulous stamp in the same ink... I bought the stamp from Crafty Individuals stamped it onto the ATC ... removed the stamp and WOW ...love the 2 tone result... I am showing this for the Wednesday stamper challenge over HERE.
Showing this one I made 2yrs ago as i am running out of time to create another one especially for this challenge ..sorry. To see more in the challenge click on HERE
For the 'Theme Thursday' challenge I did this ATC. I stamped onto 'Crafty Individuals' paper from the new 6x6 book. To see more on this challenge click on HERE
This is my first time entering into 'The Daring Card Makers' challenge however I am cheating slightly as this is a card I made about 2yrs ago...(hope thats ok) I dont have a dog but just wanted to use the peel off (cute dog image) at the time.
Not a 'peel off' kinda person but did buy some cute black dog sheets a few years ago.

As I am into Houses at the moment I thought I would post one of Linda's, Linda makes the most amazing houses ever.
For this ATC she used 4 different Cosmo Cricket papers...I love it Linda Thank you, I am so lucky to have it in my collection. :))
To see more of Linda's work just pop over HERE

For the above ATC I used one of Freddie's Friends 3Decoupage A4 sheets plus a small piece of ribbon from Fat Friedie's Craft Shed... click on HERE ... (they have a summer sale on at the moment). It was totally outside of my box for this one.... never really had a go at decoupage before... sorry Niki, I didn't stick to the instructions on the sheet, I found myself doing it my way. :))
This little baby is one of the first RECYCLED ATC's I made it was all cut from a birthday card someone received... I added rub on letters to complete it.
This I thought was very fitting for the TMTA challenge on COLOUR.
Are you a head of feet person? And whats your fave colour?
Happy Monday Luv Chriss x
This fairy ATC's was created a while ago and to achieve this look I used a plain white ATC card covering all of it using just 1 ink pad, some bubble wrap printing on the background and a mixture of household bleach and water, the bleaching technique changes the ink giving different shades of the same colour to the end result. I am in control to a certain degree but once the stamp is inked and applied there is always a surprise when the stamp is removed. I love this technique.
I am entering this for the Mixed Media Monday over HERE
This FABULOUS stamp I purchased from Crafty Individuals you can find this one and and a whole lot more if you click on HERE
Luv Chriss x
A couple of days ago 'The Papergirls' received this award from the lovely and very talented Terrie, Thank you Terrie from all of us.
This 'Little Star' has been waiting in the wings...(excuse the pun)..for her turn to be shown off. The background paper is one of Cosmo Cricket I have given it texture by adding 3D liquid embossing to the background and the little star, I also used gold metal embossing powder to the edges and made a crown from german metal.
This ATC below is a favourite of mine and wanted to add her to 'The Papergirls' blog
They both fit in nicely with the challenge set by Theme Thursday over here 
I am entering this card for the Crazy Amigo challenge here... however I am unable to tell you anything about the stamps as I have had them about 8yrs, I bought them at a craft show in Leeds on a sheet without any packaging.
The licence plate boarder stamp was bought from an American site this year, it's one of 'The Queen's Dresser Drawers'.
The image is also from an American site I am unable to recall at the moment, sorry.
I think this fits in well with the challenge.
Luv Chriss x
'Who Says I Can't Dance' is an ATC I already had stored in my archives to show sometime soon.
