Competition time!

Hey everyone! 

Sorry I've been AWOL! I've been trying to be fitter hence no time to post. But I assure you, I have been making some beauties and commissions have been coming in. 

However today I thought I would share this little competition from a favourite blogger of mine! I've followed Jenny since reading about her in Papercraft Inspirations Magazine, she always has gorgeous inspiration and amazing competitions!

 (http://jfroog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/candy-time.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:%20designByJenny%20(.Design%20by%20Jenny) this is her blog link! 

This is her current competition! 

All of these pieces are just like my latest style and colouring is so me at the moment! I hope I win this! I also recognise the sweet bag from the magazine. 

Good luck everyone!

Mixed Entry and first coloured person!

Hey everyone! 

Today I'm going to be doing a mixed post again! Here is my entry to MojoMonday 340 and TheShabbyTeaRoom week 213. As soon as I saw the photo on Shabby Tea Room (http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/week-213-floral-fantasy.html) I knew that the MojoMonday sketch would work! Of course then I wanted to try out my new idea too! Here is the pictures we were given.

Here is my little bit of colouring I wanted to add too.. 

The Shabby Tea Room wanted flowers, lace/ribbon and inspired by the photo. MojoMonday wanted the layout and it's a competition this week! So you may see more entries from me! 

I love this card so much! I hope everyone does too! It will be up on etsy soon.

Good Morning Oxfordshire

Good morning everyone! 

Today I'm feeling in a super happy mood because mr postman has just brought to my door a package I have been waiting for for nearly a week now. My Spectrum Noir pens! As some of you May or may not know, I've been trying to grow my collection and practise my colouring for quite a while now, but these pens were missing and to me they are quite important! 

I purchased the Greens and Pale Hues from Hobbycrafts.co.uk and as they were doing a 3 for 2 offer I received the Browns for free! This allows me to start colouring flowers and people properly! I hope this will improve my cards without my shabby vintage chic looks disappearing. My total collection looks like this so far...

I downloaded and printed this colour sheet from the Spectrum Noir website (SpectrumNoir.com) as it allows you to see which pens you still need to purchase. I'm close to buying all of my base colours now with only the extra packs to get, however these are quite far out of my budget at the moment. I also currently only have a few stamps to play with but have found some cute people digi stamps on etsy! 

I don't know whether I have spoken about this but I am also practising for the Spectrum Noir Accreditation Program at the moment. All the tests are online but pen buying comes first! 

See you all soon!

MojoMonday 339

Hey everyone! 

It's time for me to start with my MojoMonday posts again, I kind of slipped off the rail with them there! 

Here is this weeks sketch. I loved the idea of using a thin card but I decided to use small instead! 

Here is my version of the card with (of course) Decopatch! My favourite thing ever! 

I hope you've enjoyed today's post everyone! Sorry it was quick!

Morning everyone!

Hey all!

I'm sorry I've been away for a while! I decided it was time for some me time, but I'm back! I know I've got to do my second post about me, but I've decided today to show you one of my new ideas I'm trying! 

Currently I've been asked to make a few commissions, including one for my mother. Father and a motoerbike one! I'm going to show you the motorbike card today. Of course it features my new idea. 

This is the motorbike commission. I'm very proud of this card! For only having two days to make a card, I downloaded a Harley Davison from etsy (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/91028672/harley-panhead-digital-stamp?ref=favs_view_1) and coloured it in with my Spectrum Noir on 240gsm card. I think it came out perfectly! I've added a little ribbon and a Gorjuss background. 

Spectrum Noirs are my pens of choice at the moment because they are so easy to blend and there are so many basic colours. I'm just about to buy my essentials and browns range so I can colour in stamps featuring people and bears. 

Just another little update, there is a competition on my Facebook page at the moment to WIN six cute cards. 

Http://Facebook.com/BeautifulBeadsNow is my page, all you need to do is like the picture and share the photo. Just one week left! 

All the love!
