Tagul Word Art

Good Morning All

I just had to show you this card I made yesterday using this site HERE

I found this site  from Facebook, one of the groups I follow on there.  You choose  your words, the font, the colour and the shape then print it or save it to your account for future use.

I will be making afew Christmas cards using this as one shape you can use is a Christmas tree.

The first word you type in will be the biggest word on your creation.

It's a fab tool to work with but I have to get to grips with the colours yet

Have a great Sunday

Sparkle for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts challenge this week is hosted by Tracy Mouse

and it is a typical girly one 'Sparkle'.

I used a LOTV Topper, recycled a sparkly scalloped circle from another card and cut it up to edge the main image.

Added some sparkle to afew roses, sentiment tags and a bead pin with a string bow and a gem.

We do not have a sponsor this week but Brenda, our boss lady is

offering

apair of tickets to the NEC Hobbycraft show in November

so well worth entering this week.


Pop over to the challenge blog and see what all the rest of the DT have been up to.

Hat & Scarf for MAWTT

Good Morning All

We had a really good turnout of entries on last fortnights challenge at MAWTT, great.

Janice is hosting this fortnights challenge at Moving Along With The Times and she would like to see Hats & Scarves (must be wearing both).

I used a sweet decoupage from Crafters Companion called Paintbox Poppets.  There are lots of tiny pieces but it is diecut so that makes it alot easier.

The two papers I have used are some of the first I  ever bought!!!!!!! 

So they must be 9 or 10 years old.

I added a crochet heart and a Teddy charm.

Pop over the Challenge blog and see all the other lovely DT creations.

Cupcake Flowers

Good Morning All

Still feeling abit down after Hollie going home but we have MIL here and my Mum arrives n Saturday, so keeping busy.

Back into my craft room and trying to get it tidy and clearing alot of stuff.  Using alot  on my cards too, all odd bits and bobs.

I got this idea from a You Tube video HERE.

Quite easy, and I inked the edges and spritzed with water to try and make the ink run abit.

I will use these to decorate my book folds.

Buttons

Good Morning All

Having withdrawal symptoms from Hollie, such a fab week.  She is such a character, so much fun.  Counting the weeks now until 30th November when I get on the plane to UK to see all the family.

I stamped this lovely image with a Lakeland stamp I have had for years, I stuck tiny buttons where the blossoms are and more shaped buttons in the corners.

Papers are from my scrap box, all matted onto yellow card and a white card blank.

Lots of Layers

Good Morning All

When I saw the theme for Allsorts Challenge this week, picked by Mervi,  I just knew what I was going to make.

Hollie and her Mum and Dad arrived on Wednesday and I put this on the dressing table in Hollies bedroom.

As you know I am into Book Art and I thought the hedgehogs looked so sweet.

Animals for MAWTT

Good Morning All

If you are a follower of  Moving Along With The Times Challenge
you will know that Hazel has finished as Team Leader, other things in life taking over, as they do.
  I and the other DT members did not want the challenge to finish, so I decided to step into the breach.  I have been running it through the Summer, but today is the first of our regular fortnightly challenges.
So todays challenge is hosted by me for Team B,
 (as we now have two teams running every fortnight).

I would like to see an animal on your creation, the cuter the better.

I used this cute Humphrey decoupage from Crafters Companion, scraps of paper and card from my box, quilled flowers and two types of ribbon.

I hope you will join us over at the challenge blog, and wish me well in my new venture of running the challenge blog.

She looks so grown up with her hair in a pony tail.

Dressing up with her cousin.

She asked me last night, would I have the paddling pool ready for when she got here.
What could I say, too dark, too tired, we will see.

Mad for Embellishing

Good Morning All

Ladybug Crafts challenge this month was 'Mad for Embellishing', But Sarah seems to  have gone AWOL, but I will post this anyway

I added butterflies, the pink ones from Mei Flower, the silver ones punched from Dufex.  Parchment flowers with gem centres and a homemade sentiment tag with twine, and finally some square gems in the corner.  The big flower in the centre is a cut out one that I have had in stash for years !!!
