In September I decided to launch an Ellephantastic Cards & Crafts online shop after blogging for just over a year. In the shop I sell my handmade cards, gifts & knitted items, which you can also order, and an expanding range of digi images. I am new to digi images, so like my crafting the inspriation & ability is growing with time.

The DT have done some lovely work as always and I am sure you

Challenge # 2 - Butterflies

Hello everyone and welcome to the second challenge at Crafty Catz, this week it is my turn, Suzie to host the challenge. Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week's challenge it was lovely to see how you all used our colour combo and you came up with some fantastic creations. Check back later to see who won the candy !
So onto this week's challenge which is 'butterflies'. We want to see butterflies on your creations, whether it be on the papers, image or punched, whatever takes your fancy. This week we are sponsored by Crafty Ribbons, big thanks to Ali xxx

Crafty Ribbons is a ribbon emporium, we are passionate about ribbon and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others.

Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel? Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft. Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all! Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths, we even have a ribbonbox to keep them in!

With a few simple instructions turn your hand to ribbon embroidery, with soft and delicious sheer or pure silk ribbons. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects, they use nothing but ribbon. Go on, have a try... It's worth it !

This is the prize which is up for grabs this week -


The DT have done some lovely work as always and I am sure you will agree. If you have a moment please pop over to the DT's individual blogs and see what they have been up to this week.
