I made this card by matching up two digital images and coloured with Promarkers.

Chipboard House.

I made this a while ago and found the photo on my desktop, It has two decorated chipboard covers with a little notelet book inside.

Peachy Keen stamps challenge

I made this card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge I used a peachy keen stamped image and flowers from Cara Craft Supplies.

Digital image and sugary flowers.

I love this Mo Manning digital image and these sugary looking prima flowers and brads from CCS

Lazer cut backgrounds and other cards.

I set myself a challenge to use these new Lazer cut backgrounds from Cara Craft Supplies, when I saw them first I loved them but thought about how I could use them ? then once I start using them that was it, I was on a roll, they are so easy to use and give a neat professional finish to cards, another thing I love about them is the designs can be used all year round and not just for Christmas.

These two cards are made using My minds eye papers and a Timeless Impressions rubber stamp, aslo from Cara Craft supplies.

My October Workshop

Had a great day today at the workshop, we made five cards and a baby Train wall hanging, we stamped and embossed and had a candle decorating demo, so all in all we had a really busy day, it was great to meet everyone again and also meet up with new people, here are the cards we made and some sample cards/candles I had on display.

Attention : I explained at my workshop that it is dangerous to use taper candles with this technique as the flame is too close to the outside of the candle.

Simple pleasures and some fabric flowers..

Have been playing around with some silky fabric and felt today the roses are something I have wanted to try for ages they measure about 2 inches each and the felt flowers are cut with my big shot, the card is made using digital images coloured with pro markers.

Paperplay challenge week 36, Spot this

This weeks Paperplay Challenge was set by Julie

(Quote Julie) " Pretty self-explanatory really. I am a sucker for buying spotty paper (and stripy - but we won't go there!), then I don't use it up because I don't want to cut into it. So this week, I'd like everyone to make spotty things (using paper or indeed anything else spotty you wish)"

For this challenge I went with some Autumn colours, felt flowers and a Tilda image.

If you would like to enter the Paperplay challenge and be in with the chance to win a crafty prize all you have to do is get those spotty papers out and make a card/altered item or whatever you like and post your blog page on the Paperplay challenge blog.
