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.

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!

MojoMonday 336 AND news :)

Hey everyone! 

I hope you've had an amazing week, sorry I've not been around much! I've been here, there and everywhere. First I'll tell you all my news! As you all know I've been try to see if I have a place in the crafting market and it seems I do! I've sold my first card on etsy and it's just been sent off to its new owner today! I've never been happier! I was dancing around the room and even ran down to my parents! Since then I have sold another, both Mother's Day cards.

Now I've made you all happy and warm inside, who would like to see a card? Here's the MojoMonday sketch we had this week, I knew what I would do as soon as I saw it! 

I had a lovely circle card topper from HunkyDory Crafts that was perfect for this card! So of course with Mothers Day coming up, another Mother's Day card was created. Include ribbon, twine and flowers and there you go! Here it is.

Enjoy your day all!

MojoMoney sketch #335

Hey everyone! I've got a few posts to do today so sorry if you have an abundance of them! The first is my MojoMonday sketch. I can't believe we're on sketch #335 already! I decided to switch this sketch around a little and even use a different size card base.
Here is the original sketch.

I've added a doily and moved the second square to the bottom right hand corner to add balance. Anyways here you go!

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!
