Just a short one! 12 tags of 2014

Hey everyone! 

I'm just popping on to show you all my latest tag for the 12 tags of 2014 with Tim Holtz. I was so inspired by this piece and it pushed me to use my tags to the best I can. Here is the finished tag! Wish me luck.

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!

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:

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.

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!

Evening all

Good evening everyone! 

I hope your all having a lovely weekend, I've had a fantastic one. Yesterday unfortunately I was working but got to finish early :D My weekend of relaxation then started. I've watched movies, eaten chocolate, seen my boyfriend and made things! My clear out session is still in progress too.

Today my sister, boyfriend and I all pitched in to make a gingerbread house. My sister is in competition with her friends to make the best so here is our entry! I must admit I ate a lot of icing today. Do you like it? 

(Yes that's my boyfriend hiding behind the house!)

I also decided that seen as this Christmas I don't have a new dress to wear on the big day, I needed to make myself a piece of jewellery. I made a batch of resin pendants when I tried resin a few months back and decided to use this flowery pendant for Christmas. Add a few charms and some suede cord and you have a cute little necklace.

I hope your weekend ends great!

The Shabby Tea Room entry- #196

Hey everyone! 

It's that time of the week again. It's my Shabby Tea Room entry time. This week I found it perticularly difficult as I stopped making Christmas card making a while a go but I carried on and made this beauty! 

This is the shabby tea room link for this week, why not join in?

(http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/week-196-noel.html?m=1)

This week we had to make a card or project inspired the picture (pictured above) AND include polka dots and 

buttons. This is what I created. Quite honestly, I love this design! 

Thank you all for reading. Wish me good luck!
