Cupcake Inspirations DT

 Good Morning

Today is Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 

The theme is AG.

I used my Oxide Inks for the background and stamped some butterflies from AALL & CREATE No. #825

And added 3 of my punched butterflies.

I'm happy with how this turned out.

Bookmark Notebooks

 Hi

I showed these on my You Tube last week.

Bookmarks that include a Notebook and a pen holder too. Very handy.

Very often when I am reading, I have a thought and wish I had a pen and paper with me to make a note. This solves that problem.

Alos, I like to include a pen with a journal so it serves two purposes for me.

Here's the video if you would like to see it.

Thanks for the visit.

Fave Craft Item for MAWTT

 Hi

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this month is

Favourite Craft Item or Tool, Die Stamp etc.

At present I am loving my Groovi parchment work again, ever since my fall, I have been doing alot of it.

Here are two that feature the Poppets collection of images and Grid work which I love doing and it's very effective too.

This is a circle grid with a pre coloured Poppet before adding a sentiment.

Sentiment added

It still amazes me how piercing 4 holes and snipping gives this lovely cross.

This one is an un coloured poppet, which I have left just added afew gems.

Outlawz DT

 Hi Everyone.

1st of the month means new challenges and today is Outlawz Twisted and ABAC Challenges and later on there will be MAWTT.

1st today is Anything But  A Card for Outlawz.

This time we have a theme of 

Lets Play  Make Something from Childhood.

Now these paper beads bring back some memories.  I made a big tin of these using old magazines and my intention was to make a hanging door curtain, which never happened by the way!!!!

I make them into Dangles for my Journals

I start with pieces of paper, either printed or magazines.

I mark 1cm intervals at top and the bottom but not in straight lines, I alternate the marks so I end up with very long triangles.

I use a quilling tool as these are very small, if bigger I would use a cocktail stick or very fine knitting needle.

Ending up with these, glue on the end.

Then I cover with Modpodge or Clear Nail varnish. 

Then I store them in a takeaway box until needed.

I add different bits - beads, chain or small ephemera.

They look good hanging off journal pages and I love making them.

*************************

Now onto the Twisted Challenge.

Colour challenge

I used a digital image and an inky background from my Reverse Colouring book and scraps of offcuts, stamped sentiment and some leftover crystal art gems.

The camera does alter the colour because in real life they are very similar to the chart.

Crochet

 Hi

Happy Birthday to me.

Yes I am, sshhhhh, 68 years old today.

John is taking me out for a meal to a new Italian restaurant across the road from where we live, so that will be nice.

This is a lovely star blanket by Hooked by Robin on You Tube.  Odds left over from other projects.

Very pretty.

Groovi Christmas

 Hi

Days are flying by and it will soon be Christmas!!!!!!!

My crafty friend Eve, bought me a set of 'Twas The Night ' pre printed parchment toppers from Claritystamp for my Christmas gift last year.

They are ready to use as they are or you can remove some of the ink from the reverse side to make it white on the front, like the one on the left.

I  added a square embossed border and abit of grid work.

Here is one made into a card with a grid border.

I love them.
