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.

Time to create!

Hey everyone! 

Soo what have I been doing? Well it starts off with tags (obviously) and this pretty little poppet was made for my dad when he was rather ill. Inspired by Tim Holtz.

The next two are cards. I don't know how these came about but I love these pieces from Docrafts. 

I'll just show you this too! Even though it's totally of topic. I've been getting myself into vintage clothing, but only just bought my first piece yesterday. Here is my new 80's shirt. It's gorgeous and only cost me £3.29. Bargain.

It's me again..

Hey all!

It's me again. I've not been very motivated this week, felt very down in the dumps. However I was able to make a few things. I've been reading Docrafts Creativity for a while now as you know and yesterday I decided to have a go at a card layout which inspired me. I dug into my dads paper box and nicked a few bits of trasing paper to emboss. The effect was amazing and inked it looks great! Bare in mind when you dry emboss tracing paper, it cracks. Doesn't make the design any less awesome though. Here's my tracing paper card:

Doesn't the flower and embossed oval look amazing! Not to toot my own horn or anything!
EDIT: This card is now on etsy! Take a Peak: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/179572332/dry-embossed-vintage-themed-blank-card?ref=shop_home_active_2

I've also made these this week:

Thank you for all being on my journey of creativity! See you all soon.

Taggies..

Hey all! 

Today I tried something a little different for me, I tried making tags. Well art tags anyways. I've been looking at a few on Pinterest and was inspired. Here are a few I made. 

This is a beautiful design, I'm very proud of this. Of corse my bigshot took most of the action here, but I love the colours my ink made too. I hope my sister will like this one!

I'm in love with Graphic 45 papers! I got this little kit with a magazine recently and I've decided to buy a few more soon! The vintage theme is defiantly me ATM.

Again my bigshot and embossing folders took place here. I then rubbed ink over the embossed areas. I think it shows the design well.

Another cutely vintage tag here. I have no idea what I will use this for but it needs a beautiful present I think! 

Another bigshot taggie, I'm really liking making bold tags. They seem to jump at me.

I'm glad you want to read today,

Crafty happenings

Hey all! 

Just a little post today to show you all what I managed to make yesterday. I didn't plan to have a crafty day, however it just happened. I made some beautiful items too.

These were my "using up" tags. I had plain tags and left over Christmas paper so these beauties were made. Hopefully I'll remember to use these next year! 

These are the first pair of earrings I've made using my mallet, steel block and new book. These are gorgeous and I loved making bohemian jewellery! What do you think? 

This is the gorgeous card kit I bought with my Christmas money. For a spare half an hour I thought I'd give this a go. It's a gorgeous card kit for an autumn birthday. To be put away maybe.

Thank you for reading today.
