Crafty Gals Corner's 6th Blogiversary!!!

Hello and welcome to our 6th Blogiversary blog hop, at Crafty Gals Corner.
To start off the celebration, and to be eligible to win the sponsor prize, you'll have to visit each blog, leave some bloggie love, and collect a secret letter from each teamie.  At the end of the hop, you need to go back to Crafty Gals Corner blog and leave a comment with the Secret Word".  

The theme for our challenge #202 is ~ 'Tis the Season
(Anything to celebrate this festive season)

Our amazing sponsor helping us celebrate our 6th Blogiversary is

Prize ~ 3 Digi Stamps

In addition, Crafty Gals Corner will also be sponsoring the following prizes:

1 pair of LulaRoe Leggings
(So you'll be nice and comfy while making your next project😀)

1 x $5.00 gift certificate to digi store of choice.

Using Ginger Spice Cocoa Mug digi, I made this fancy window card.
The base of the card is a design from the Silhouette store. The card stock and candy cane paper are both from The Paper Studio. I coloured the image using copic markers.


Since there was no place to write a message on the front of the card, I made a panel at the back.  The stamp is from Great Impressions and the red card stock is from Recollections.


The final size of this card is 5.5" x 5.5"., and as you can see it folds flat for mailing.


And now, as promised and for your convenience, here is the list of the teamies participating in our blogiversary blog hop.  I have linked each name to their blog, so grab a cuppa, click and enjoy 😀

                   Lena - You are here and my secret letter is S

Now, don't forget to go back to the Crafty Gals Corner blog and leave a comment with the secret word.  Also remember that you have to leave a comment on every blog as you hop along the way.

In addition to the lovely prizes being offered by Crafty Gals Corner, I have a prize for a lucky winner who leaves a comment on my blog.  This will be a $10 gift certificate to a digi store of choice.  I would love for you to become a follower of my blog as well, but it is merely a kind request, not a requirement :-)

Since we are a monthly challenge blog, you have till January 7th to complete your hopping :-)
I will announce the winner on our next challenge on January 8, 2020.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Happy hopping and good luck!

Till next time,

Crafty Gals Corner Blog Hop

Hello crafting friends! Welcome to the Crafty Gals Corner Blog Hop! We do these blog hops twice a year in order to welcome our newest team members! Some of these lovely ladies have extra candy you can win, in addition to the sponsor prize!

Our sponsor this week is:

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

In order to win the sponsor prize you need to leave a comment ON EACH of the gals below.  Each of these gals has a letter you must collect. At the end of the hop return to the Crafty Gals Corner post and leave a comment with the Secret Word!

Using Lily Mermaid, I created this card for my son's girlfriend who turned 21.


It's an easel card. I used a variety of dies from Marianne Designs and Cottage Cutz to create this underwater scene. Since I'm a tropical girl at heart and love anything and everything to do with the sea/ocean, I had loads of fun putting this card together.


 Here is a pic showing the front of the card, closed flat for mailing.


And here is a pic of the inside. I love this message in the bottle die from Cottage Cutz. I computer generated the greeting. All my card stock is GinaK's. I used Memento Teal Zeal ink to sponge in the background and Memento Desert Sand to shade in the large scallop die.  I find it tedious to cut each die out of individual colours, so normally cut them all in white and then use my copic markers colour them in with my colour of choice. The little bottle was cut out of clear acetate and vellum.  When you layer them together, you get the appearance of frosted glass. 

In addition to the sponsor prize that you can win by hopping along with us, I have a little package of crafty goodness to give away.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  I will pick a winner on Tuesday night and announce it in next week's post.  Oh, yes, I almost forgot to tell you that Samantha, our team leader, has shaken things up a bit this term.  We now have two teams at Crafty Gals Corner.  We have the Crafty Belles, which I'm proud to belong to, and the Scrappy Gals. Each team will host the Crafty Gals Corner challenges on alternate weeks. Now for a pic of my blog hop candy ...


Just in case you lose your way, here is a list of the blog hop order to help you along your way.

Lena  { You are here and my letter is "L"}

Well, crafting friends, I hope you enjoyed my card and will join in this fun blog hop. Not only will you get to meet all of our new team mates, but you will enjoy loads of inspiration along the way.  Now before I go, I will tell you that my letter is "L" for Lena!   Nah, just a happy coincidence :-)  You have till noon, CST on Tuesday, 11 July 2017, to play along with us and to link your project to the Crafty Gals Corner blog.

Till next time, happy crafting!

Challenge #103 at CGC & Blogiversary Celebration

Hello dear friends. I have to begin this post by apologising for being MIA. I have family and friends visiting from overseas and my time is being spent with them, catching up and just having fun.
I do miss visiting your blogs and looking at your lovely holiday creations, but I will try to make up for it in January.  Until then, I hope you will all be patient with me :-)
I stole a few minutes to write this post to invite you to join in our 2nd Annual Year End Bash and Blogiversary Blog Hop at Crafty Gals Corner.

We have SEVEN wonderful sponsors who are helping us celebrate.

Prize: 3 Digital Images/ 1 Digital Set




Prize: 7 Digital Images




Prize: 3 Digital Images




Prize: THREE WINNERS
1 - Grand Prize of 3 digital images
1 - prize of 1 digital image
1- prize of 1 digital image


Prize: 3 digital images below


Prize: $20 gift Certificate



Prize: $12 Gift Certificate

In addition, we have some of our DT members, who are also offering blog candy on their blogs.  Please follow their individual instructions in order to stand a chance of winning some wonderful prizes.  Here is a pic of the prize I'm giving to one lucky participant.  All you have to do is to leave a comment on my blog sharing one of your New Year's Resolutions :-)


I made three projects using various images from some of our wonderful sponsors.

I used Blessings of the Season by Beccy's Place to create this birthday card for a dear friend who celebrates her birthday on Christmas Day.



For the next card, I used Friends Don't Let Friends Wine Alone 2 by Bugbaoo Stamps and made this Christmas card. I made this image more Christmas-y by adding a Santa hat to the friend on the left, a holly hair clip to the friend in the middle and some Christmas earrings to the friend on the right.  I believe these gals' celebration will last from Christmas to New Year! :-)


For my last card, I decided to make a start on my Easter 2017 cards, so using Egg Colouring Avery by The Paper Nest Dolls, I made this cute Easter card that may find its way to my little granddaughter :-)


I hope you will join in the fun and help us celebrate our 2nd Blogiversary!   Here is the blog hop schedule for you to hop along.  Remember there are prizes to be won along the way :-)
Lena  ...  You're here!

You have till noon, CST, on Tuesday, 3 December 2017, to link your project to our challenge #103, "Anything  Goes", at Crafty Gals Corner. I will announce the winner of the blog candy on our next post on 4 January 2017.  Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see all of your very creative projects.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you and your loved ones a very Blessed New Year. May 2017 bring you loads of love, joy and good health!

Christmas in July fun here at my blog

Hello bloggie friends.  So, in the spirit of Christmas in July, and the fact that I love Christmas and enjoy making Christmas cards the most, I came up with a way to celebrate Christmas in July with you all,  here at Lena's Creations.  And of course, since it's Christmas, there will be a "present" at the end of the month :-)

So here's how it works ~ I will post various DT posts throughout the month as usual, but all of them will have a Christmas theme.  Not too sure how I'm going to pull this one off yet, but I do love a challenge :-)

All you have to do to play along with me, is become a follower of my blog and leave me a comment on each of the Christmas related blog posts.  Easy, right?  At the end of the month, I will pick a winner chosen by Brian.son (in case you don't know ...  my son, Brian, picks a random winner for me:-)) and that person will win this fun package of Christmas crafting goodies.


  I hope you will join me in this Christmas in July celebration :-)
My first DT post will be with Christmas Cards All Year 'Round on July 1st.

Till then,
Crafty hugs,

"Glad You're My Dad" Blog Hop with Cardz TV

Hi bloggie friends, I'm so glad you could join us today for our  "Glad You're My Dad" blog hop.


  So grab your favourite beverage, sit back, relax and enjoy the fun, inspiration and the chance to win some candy along the way :-)

Here's the card I made for my husband for Father's Day. 


 I used a stamp from the "Happy Days" set and put it in the shaker porthole.


Here is a close up of the porthole with the itty bitty beads I used. I love cards with a shaker element on them. They are always so fun.  I'm hoping that my hubby enjoys it too :-)


On the inside, I used a stamp from the Cardz TV Father's Day stamp set.
Other supplies used:
Blue Cardstocks - GinaK.
White card base - Recollections
Dies - Cottage Cuts Nautical Collection
Background Fishing Net Stamp - Our Daily Bread Designs
Twine and charm are from my stash.

Here is a close up of the stamp sets I used from Cardz TV to show you all the other wonderful phrases and greetings that come in these sets. 



And, yes, you guessed it!  There is blog candy to be collected from my blog hop and also from Mary at Cardz TV.  For both, all you need to do is to leave a comment and to become a follower, if you're not one already.
I will be giving away this little bundle of crafting goodies to one lucky participant.  I will choose and announce the winner on Friday, 27 May 2016. 


Mary will be giving 3 sets of Cardz TV stamps for her blog hop candy, so if you're a follower of Cardz TV, just leave a comment on her blog!  If you're not follower yet, then do become one.  Trust me, you won't regret it.  Mary always has the most wonderful and easy to follow video tutorials on her blog. Mary will use random.org to pick a winner and will make the announcement on Monday, 23 May 2016 on her blog.  Here are the three newest Cardz TV stamps sets ... look how fun they are and you could win them, just by playing along!




Below is a list of all the stops in today's Glad You're My Dad blog hop.  If you get lost along the way, just come back here and you will find your way to continue with the fun.

It's a Blogiversary Celebration at Crafty Gals Corner!

Hello all and welcome to our first blogiversary celebration here at Crafty Gals Corner.  Can you believe that it's been a full year since Samantha, our wonderful team leader, started this challenge blog?  What fun this year has been with all our exciting challenges and wonderful sponsors.  Thank you for supporting us!

To kick off this celebration, our challenge this week is Anything Goes.  We have EIGHT sponsors plus a blog hop for you to enjoy.  There will be 8 random winners who will win our sponsors' prizes and there will also be blog candy from our DT members along the way.

Let me begin by showing you all our wonderful sponsors this week (listed in alphabetical):

Wow, thank you so much to our wonderful sponsors for helping us celebrate this milestone!

 So, here are the projects I made for this week's challenge ...


This first card uses an image from The Stamping Boutique, called Bring It, Snowman.
Isn't it adorable?



 My second card uses a stamp set called Ice Fishing from DeeDee's Images. I love using these stamp sets as they come with uncoloured and pre-coloured images as well as papers, so it all matches perfectly without a lot of effort of searching for the correct papers in the right shades :-)
To avoid making this post too long, I haven't listed any details on the materials used to make these cards, but please feel free to email me if you want any information on either of these cards.

   And now to the blog hop.  I have listed below the blog hop schedule for your convenience.  Should you lose your way, you can always come back here or go back to the Crafty Gals Corner blog and continue with your hop along the way :-)

Lena  ~ You are here!
Crafty Gals Corner

 I do have blog candy for one lucky winner.  All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post.  But to make it more fun, I would like you to share something fun you did this Christmas, or some fun new crafting toy you received.  You don't have to become a follower of my blog, but it would be muchly appreciated if you did! :-)

 My hobby room is painted and I've finally found my camera, so as promised earlier, here is a pic of the blog candy I will be offering to one lucky bloggie friend.

    By the way, my new camera was one of my wonderful presents from Santa this year.  And I must have been a really good girl because I also got a baby Minc, a Cut 'n Boss, a Fuse Tool, and a Heatwave pen.  Can you see me doing a happy dance or rocking around the Christmas tree? :-)  In order to win one of our sponsor prizes, you will have to link one of your beautiful projects to the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #52, by noon, CST, on Tuesday, 5 January 2016.  This will also be the day when I'll close my challenge.

 Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you join us in our blogiversary celebration and have fun hopping along with us.  Can you believe that this is the last Wednesday for 2015?!  Any New Year Resolutions?  I hope that at least one of them is that you will continue to support us by joining us in another year of fun challenges.

 Happy New Year All!
