Funky Fun

Good morning all, I hope you haven't been too confused by the clocks going back.....I forgot to set my watch so I was out of bed at 8.30, which doesn't sound too bad but it was actually 7.30! On a Sunday morning! The only time I'm up at that time on a Sunday is when I do a wedding fayre lol

So, enough about me and onto the challenge for this month as chosen by Amanda

Christmas is all about the kids

so thats what I am setting for this month's theme.

Anything Christmassy for a child.  It can be anything you want........a card, a gift, a layout, a decoration ~ whatever your imagination can come up with.

I made a gift bag from a brown envelope and card. I will be adding a tutorial to my blog for the gift bag so please check it out Scruff's Corner 

The paper used is the Freebie from Anice which is available to download from the Funky Hand web site. Please don't just take the paper and run, we would love to see you join in with our challenge and show us what you make. The rules for the challenge are.......you must use a Funky Hand product and that's it!

While you're on the Funky Hand web site for the freebie paper, please take an extra 10 minutes or so and have a look around. There are lots of new Christmas downloads at fabulous prices and each download has it's own gallery to (hopefully) give you a bit of inspiration.

I'll leave you to get on with your tour of the web site and look forward to seeing what you come up with for our challenge. Please don't forget to add your name to the link below

Kids Christmas - Ni Style!

Afternoon bloggers, sorry I am late sharing my post with you today, I have just had a week off work and completely lost track of the date..... I don't know where the days have gone!

Anyway, the challenge here at Get Funky! this month (set by Amanda) is for kids Christmas and so I immediately wanted to use the cute Santa image from the new Oh Come All Ye Crafters Digital Stamp download, I have also used a green paper from the Make A List download and the funky freebie for this month which has a jazzy star pattern on it, fab!

The Santa image was coloured in using promarkers, the present is an old Quickutz die and the ribbon and sentiment are from my HUGE Xmas craft stash!
I have not added any extra embellishments to the card yet as I thought with so many patterns and layers on there already it could become a bit cluttered. I might walk away and leave it for a few days then come back to it and see what I think, sometimes it is just best not to over think it and know when to walk away! ;)

I look forward to seeing your kids card entries, just don't forget......

Thanks for stopping by today, Ni. :)

Santa's Coming

Morning everyone and welcome to Get Funky. The lovely Amanda has set the challenge for this month and it is Christmas for the Kids.
So what does every kid big and small want? Why it's Santa to stop at their house isn't it!
So I made a door hanger instructing Santa to do just that
I used the Papercraft Factory CD's for this by selecting my paper from the Twelve Crafters Crafting CD and moving it to the workspace then I changed to the Craft The Year  Away CD and brought the door hanger template onto the workspace on top of my chosen paper- printed this and cut it out.
Used this cute Santa digi from the new download Oh Come All Ye Crafters Digital Stamps, coloured him and printed off the words STOP SANTA

Remember to join in you must use a Funky Hand product and Anice has been kind enough to give you a Funky Freebie to help you join in.
Hope you can join us this month

Ruth's Kids Christmas

Do you realise that it is less than 70 day to Christmas?!  Where did the year go?!  I'm actually quite organised this year in making my special family Christmas cards and here is one that fits Amanda's challenge this month which is:

Kids Christmas Cards

I've made a wordbook for both boys - this one is for Samuel (obviously!) and I've used the not yet released Winter Wonderland Wordbook download so you get a sneak peak of this collection which is perfect for those pesky males!

This was really easy to make - I printed off the letters I required (printed one of the plain papers on the reverse of each sheet) and then layered them up!  I've added glitter glue around the edges of each letter plus three Marianne Creatable snowflake dies plus a little ribbon over the 'book' end.

Perfect for when you just don't want to colour an image and then try and find papers to match.  And there is no fiddly cutting out either!

The rules for our challenge are really easy and you need to make sure you've used a Funky Hand product in your creation.  There is always a Funky freebie download available on the Funky Hand website www.funkyhand.com that fits in with the monthly challenge!  Good luck!

Christmas is all about the kids......

Hello!  It's Amanda here and welcome to my Funky Fifteenth Challenge!!

I know we all dread the C word coming up when it comes to crafting, some love it and make cards happily all year, some hate it and are last minute crafters.  I love Christmas and I actually enjoy making cards and gifts for friends and family but I just can't seem to get motivated to start early enough and always end up rushing at the end!  The first cards I always make though are for my kids, at least that way if I don't make any more cards at least my babies have their cards, and as we all know

Christmas is all about the kids

so thats what I am setting for this month's theme.

Anything Christmassy for a child.  It can be anything you want........a card, a gift, a layout, a decoration ~ whatever your imagination can come up with.

You can enter as many times as you like and can combine with as many challenges as you like.  AND you get the chance to win the Funky Hand download of you choice.  Simples as the wee meerkat says :)

As always our one and only rule here at Get Funky is that you need to use at least item from Funky Hand on your creation.  There are loads of scrummy craft cds and downloads available on the Funky Hand website.  Especially the new O Come All Ye Crafters downloads.

For those who are new to Funky Hand and don't have any Funky Hand stash there is a Funky Freebie backing paper available on the website www.funkyhand.com.  :)                    

My card for this month was made using the  Santa Baby download.  The image is from the 12 Crafters Crafting cd.  The topper of the card detaches to become a Christmas Tree decoration.

I do hope you will come and join in with the Get Funky fun this month.  Please click on the blue frog to enter.

Baby's 1st Christmas Wordbook

It's my turn ((Debbie) to show you my offering for Lou's challenge.
This months the Get Funky Challenge is.....

                           

WORDBOOKS

So it can be any word, any theme as long as it is a wordbook!! and..

As always you must use at least one Funky Hand product on your wordbook..:)

Anice has provided a great Funky freebie to help you create a wordbook and it'll count as at least one funky hand product if you don't have any cd's etc. at home.

 I've just become an Auntie again to a beautiful baby girl so decided to make a wordbook for her Mum and Dad as a keepsake.

I've used one of the new wordbook downloads Santa baby.
and embellished it with some gems, snowflake punch and cut out some holly from one of the papers from the Santa baby papers download.

There's still a couple of days to join in as the challenge doesn't close until Sunday 14th October and they are incredibly simple to cut out. So why not devote a little bit of time to capture someones's memories, they are such well received gifts too.
