The Shabby Tea Room- Week 210

Hey everyone! 

Let's have a shabby tea room post and guess what this week is! Random week! We have no limits, they haven't asked for anything except our creativity! I love this is idea however I do like the idea that we get given an item to put in the card- I mean this is why I do shabby tea room competition. 

This is the photo we were given.

I know this is a late card and I won't be able to enter it but I've done it anyways!

The Shabby Tea Room- Week #207

Hey everyone,
Just another combined short post today, only because I'm having to use my fathers laptop. Currently I have broken my laptop and my phone so connecting to the internet is a real problem, however I am here and writing to you!
This weeks Shabby Tea room project is right up my street! Its names "Wishi Washi", heres the picture we were given:

(http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/week-207-wishy-washi.html)
I adore this photo! Washi features mostly in my scrapbooking and smashbooking, so adding to my cards was a new concept to me. Of course I'm adding my Shabby Tea Room pieces with MojoMonday sketches. Heres this weeks:

                                                          

The idea of using a tall and skinny card has hit me before and I have tried using them, however the dont sell as well as I thought they would. However, being as keen as I am to do these challenges, I took the bull by the horns and made this! 

                                       

EDIT: Here is the card on etsy!

Of course I couldn't finish this post without showing you all my little haul that came through the post from Hobbycraft.

                                    

I bought myself some more card bases (square and c5), Mothers day themed flower decopatch, Gems, pearls and Tim Holtz Distress Ink. This made my day when I was feeling so yucky!

Thank you for reading today!

Combined post

Hey all!

I've decided to make this a combined post with my Shabby Tea Room week #206 card and my MojoMonday card sketch. This weeks shabby tea room picture was difficult! I don't make baby cards! But here is the photo they gave us for inspiration.

(http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/week-206-baby-shower-party.html?m=1)

I decided to use the little hint of purple I could find in the picture and rolled with that.

This is the MojoMonday sketch this week that I tied in with the card.

Now don't get me wrong, I like my mind to be stretched. But this was difficult! Luckily I found an old sheet of baby sentiments (purple!) and that made my creative journey ten times easier. Here's my card:

 

EDIT: Heres the link for the card up on etsy!

I hope you like my entry!

The Shabby Tea Room Entry #201

Hey everyone! 

It's that time again, I love doing these Shabby Tea Room entries! This weeks competition was a little different for me, we had a sketch to use and not a picture! But me being me, I had to turn my card pretty pink! 

Here's the sketch we were given:

The Shabby Tea Room entry #200

Hey everyone! 

It's that time of the week again, the time where I show you my shabby tea room entry. This week I found it really hard even though it was all my style! We were given this photo.

(http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/week-200-so-romantic.html?m=1)

We were told to add roses too and unfortunately for me, I had no red roses left! So I decided to make my roses a little less ominant and used them as my background. Here is my entry this week.

I'm so proud of myself for making this poise today! I used a tiny flower die and cut it 5 times. I sanded each flower, then held them all with pink brad.

Wish me luck everyone!

Entry #199- The Shabby Tea Room

Hey all! 

Now all the festivities are over, it's time to get back into the swing of things with my shabby tea room entries! 

This week we were given this photo about the new year. We had to use black, white, cream and kraft.

I had a few ideas but as soon as I saw the photo (above) I chose to use the roses and music note paper as my inspiration. 

Here is what I came up with:

The roses and heart look yellow hear due to lighting but I assure you they are cream :) 

Here is the link to The Shabby Tea room:

Wish me luck everyone!

This weeks photo was beautiful. Here it is:

We had to make a card or papercraft item using red, white, gingham and/or gingerbread. Well you know how much I like my gingerbread theme this year so this was a diddle for me! 

I came up with this design:

I liked this design so much I've already used the card for my work friends! Fingers crossed for me everyone.

Thanks for reading today.
