De-stampelwinkel catch up..... picture heavy long post!

Today is my day to post at DE-STAMPELWINKEL,
I have used a star from one of our pound stores to make a decoration for my 'gitter dragon' daughter.
I removed the bits and pieces that were attached to the star and gave it a rough coat of paint.
The bits i took off will of cause be recycled at a later date:)
Its so not my 'thing' but GD loves it.
Next up ..... remember the kiddies board books that babies all have?
 I thought that one of these altered would make a lovely gift box.... for a small piece of jewellery i have yet to complete.
 I stamped onto DP, coloured my image with promarkers
then carefully covered my altered board book.
 Next.... something a little whimsical....
 I made a bird cage using TH dies....
 ... but i didnt want birds in my cage, I wanted little dragons.
Loads of fussy cutting with these little guys but the finished piece is really quite cute....  i use 'cute' in a quirky quaint kind of way.... not super sweet sugary way :)
 Finally on my DE-STEMPELWINKEL catch up i have a set of 3 ATC's
All just stamped ,masked, coloured with promarkers and then ink distressed.

All the stamps for all these projects come from DE-STEMPELWINKEL.
... as do most of the other supplies used.
Hope i havent bored you to tears..... needing to get caught up with all my projects so i can make a fresh start for CREEPMAS.
I'd like to enter the following challenges....
CRAFTY HANDS- 'SPARKLE AND BLING' ....the star.

I LOVE PROMARKERS...ANYTHING GOES....all 4 projects use promarkers.... although the best examples are the ATC's...and the altered board book.

IKE'S WORLD NEW CHALLENGE

I must say its good to be back in the land of blogging.
Lots of family things have happened recently, the happiest event being the birth of my new 
grand-dragon Evalyn-mai a gorgeous sister for my precious little Lily-rose.
I hope to be back now crafting more often.... so without further ado...
...... since a lot of people are getting chilly weather now and winter draws on - we are giving you a chilly theme for Challenge #6 -at IKE'S WORLD.....
'' IT FEELS LIKE WINTER''.
We want to see anything wintry and chilly to make us all want to rush off for a hot chocolate in front of a cozy fire. :-D ..... OR A MUG OF STRONG BLACK TEA SITTING BY THE RADIATOR!
I have used Poe and candle, to make to chilly ATC'S.
You have 2 weeks to enter this challenge..... remember also that IKE also gives you a gorgeous digi to enter the challenge with if you want..... the digi is well worth stopping by for and becoming a follower of the blog.
Below i shall show you the canvas i made forchallenge #5 that blogger in its wisdom seems to have eaten :(
