tea time recipe box

Helllloooo! I've been gone a while. over a month it seems. I just completely lost my mojo. It happens. No amount of pushing paper around will bring it back, so after doing that and failing, decided to just kick back and chill. Result .... finally .... was MOJO! Yeah! 

For our challenge this week at Crafts 4 Eternity is anything goes! So what will you make?

I've made a recipe box. Been wanting to do one of these for ages, so this was the perfect opportunity.

I created the box myself and then added Glitz papers to the sides.

I've created flowers using the . The lid has a Tim Holtz Curio Knob to lift.

One side of the box using a Magnolia Bon Voyage Flower Die.

Thank you for looking.

where flowers bloom

Hello and happy Friday! We have a fabby colour challenge over at Crafts 4 Eternity today.

These colours really did help brighten my day. The weather is so dreary and depressing at the moment, as I'm sure you all know!

Papers: Little Yellow Bicycle ~ Elizabeth Park.

I went a bit crazy with the frantage on this one. It wasn't only the card that got covered in glitter.

I made the flowers from a Martha Stewart punch, which I bought years ago and only used once before.

Image: Magnolia ~ Forget Me Not Tilda. Isn't she cute?

 

I made a pull out card. Love those cute birds.

And where flowers bloom.

It's the first time I've used this Tim Holtz ~ Butterfly die, another one I've had forever.

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• Favourite colours ~ Midweek Magnolias 
• I for image ~ Alphabet Challenge

Thank you for looking.

bride in church doorway

What a fab challenge we have today at Crafts 4 Eternity: use three embellishments starting with the same letter.

I have BRICKS, BEADS and BLOOMS.

The base papers are Doodlebug and these must be amongst the first papers I ever bought! So good to be using them up now!

The church doorway was created with a Spellbinders ~ Arched Windows One die.

I created the brickwork around the doorway using texture paste and a That Special Touch ~ Stone Wall Mask. Love the texture it gives.

sweetheart

I just cannot believe that it is Friday already. Where has the week gone? Well time for another challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity where we have a sweet treat for you. Just feature cakes, chocolates, sweets etc.

Papers and some embellishments: Bo Bunny Smoochable

I used a Rangers kraft tag which I inked up with distress inks and dylusions sprays.

I used the Magnolia Chocolate stamp on the top part of the tag. 

I embossed Magnolia Cupid Tilda in white embossing powder. I love how detailed this came out.

I cut out the 'sweetheart' sentiment from the Bo Bunny papers, taped it behind a >Tim Holtz Ornate Frame and then filled it with glossy accents.

I sprayed the frame with Dylusions and then heat dried it with a heat gun. 

Thank you for looking.

I have used some lace trims also.

I made the tag with a double layer of the Magnolia Wave Tag die cut.
