Happy Sunday

Good Morning All

Sunday again and here is my little challenge sketch for you to follow if you want to play along for a small gift.

This is my card following the sketch.

I used a Paintbox Poppets topper from Crafters Companion

and added 3 homemade sentiment tags.

The blue backing card is embossed but not showing very well.

Cook / Baking for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and our Mervi has chosen the theme of

 Kitchen - Cooking/ Baking

As usual, when abit stuck, I delve into my LOTV stash for something to use and found this Thomas the Cat topper, so sweet in both senses of the word !!!

The card base is using paper scraps that were a some paper pads I bought when I was in UK

See my post here to see the bases I made with them.

Also there was a bag of these candy button things with some stuff I bought too, and I mean a BIG bag.

I gave all my craft club ladies some in their Christmas bags.

I,ve never seen them before but I love them, there are loads of different colours and designs.

I added a Birthday cake charm to the ribbon that is masking the join of the two papers.

A homemade sentiment tag tied with twine.

Brenda is giving this lovely Gingerbread stamp set as a prize.

A Little bit Shabby for MAWTT

Good Morning All

Moving Along With The Times Challenge this week is hosted by a newer DT, June, but as she is not well I am standing in for her.

She wants to see
A Little bit Shabby Chic 
creations this time.

Now I love Shabby Chic but I find it quite hard to accomplish.

The Eiffel tower paper is from a pad I bought in the Works in UK.

So I kept it sort of browns and blacks.

I distressed the edges of the papers and then inked them.

I made a tiny card to go inside the envelope made from book pages.

I stamped afew Happy Birthdays along the edge so that people know it is a Birthday card.

Then I found an Eiffel tower charm in my stash - perfect.

Pop over to the challenge blog to see all the other wonderful DT creations.

Junk Journal for Crafty Ribbons

Good Morning All

Here is my inspiration post for Crafty Ribbons Design Team.

I LOVE Seam Binding and use it alot for all sorts of things on both cards and altered items.

Here is another Junk Journal I have made, hopefully, to sell.

I have used the binding for the closure.

There is also lots of laces in store too.

It is great for the tags too, as it doesn't create too much bulk within the pages.

Pop over to the store and see the massive range available at 

Also, there is free P&P on orders over 15quid.
