i believe in fairies

This week's challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity is to include something ALTERED  on your project.

I have altered a chipboard door hanger.

Actually I cheated. I took a door hanger that I had bought, traced around it onto chipboard, cut a hole with my nesties and decorated it. Does that count? I'm too tight to pay 75p everytime I want to make a chipboard door hanger

I have used Prima ~ Fairy Flora 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 papers.

I cut the grass using the Magnolia Doohickey ~ Grass die which I layered up three times and added some stickles and ribbon.

The image is Magnolia ~ Beautiful Tilda. I have coloured her with copics and added more stickles.

For the tree, I used Magnolia Doohickey die ~ Magnolia tree, which I love!

Next up is the Magnolia doohickey ~ dream tage.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

• fairy tales - One Stop Craft Challenge
• things with wings - A Spoonfull of Sugar 
• use a diecut - My Time to Craft 
• texture &/or layers - Theme Thursday
• magical worlds - Sir Stampalot Challenge
• anything goes - Truly Scrumptious and Creative Card Crew
• blossoms & blooms - Paperplay Challenges
• alter/recycle - C.R.A.F.T. Challenge

Thank you for looking.

fate and dreams collide

Well hurrar! Blogger is working again and all is well with the world.

Today's challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity is to use any or all of the above colours in your project. 

 

To make my envelope album, I've used the red and white colours. Whether they are grenadine and vanilla, I have no idea.

I've used Bazzill cardstock for the cover and jazzed it up by spritzing it with Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz stamp and I made a metal frame using the Tim Holtz Sizzix ~ Tags & Bookplates die and uhmmm, a piece of metal!

The book is made up of envelopes and tags.

The tags were cut with the Sizzix Tags & Bookplates die.

The envelopes were cut with my Sizzix ~ Envelope die.

I've given each envelope a different fastening closure.

I used up another of those Tim Holtz ~ Fragments. Woohoo! Only another 42 to go.

Papers used were Pink Paislee ~ 365 degrees. Seems I had quite a few of the same sheets in my stash.

Sorry about all the photos, I just like taking photos.

I'm going to enter this in at the following challenges:

'anything goes': Crafty Creations, Simon Says Stamp & Show and The Crazy Challenge

'flowers': Crazy 4 Challenges.

Good luck to the Royal Couple

Good luck to Wills and Kate. I'm sitting on the sofa with my box of tissues ... lol!

The world is watching ...

all that jazz

I just love jazz music, do you? This is my entry (for which I am very late) for our challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity. This week, we have a recipe challenge: a doiley, a charm and a feather. Now I must admit, I'm all out of feathers apart from the ones that my cat leaves strewn all over the patio, so that sent me rummaging through my paper stash looking for cardstock with feather patterns on them. Surprisingly there were quite a few, but as soon as I came across this one: Graphic 45 ~ Curtain Call, I knew that this was the one I wanted to play with. I have used a little strip of the peacock feather cardstock in my piece.

I distressed a tag using a Tim Holtz technique and stamped it with stamps from Graphic 45 ~Curtain Call 3 collection.

Added a lace doiley ...

... and a mini tag with a Tim Holtz ~ Type Charm.

I am going to pop this in at the following challenges:

'distressing': Simon Says Stamp & Show.
'dancing shoes/vintage': Created By Hand.
'vintage': Truly Scrumptious.
'truly dimensional': Papertake Weekly.

Thank you for looking.

teardrops ... miss u

 

At Crafts 4 Eternity this week, the colour recipe is YELLOW and GREEN.

For my piece, I have used the beautiful sketch by Chelsea at Crafting Life's Pieces.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:
'just add flowers': The Crazy Challenge.
'tons of texture': A Spoon Full of Sugar.
'anything goes': Papertake Weekly and All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge.

Here is my finished piece:

I've used Basic Grey ~ Curio papers, combining the 12x 12 and 6x6. These papers are just gorgeous.

I used a Tim Holtz ~ Ornate Plate for my title. Just dabbed some gold paint on to make it look a little more vintage.

The teardrop embellishments are by Maya Road. I stuck some paper on the back and inked the edges.

Couldn't resist making a pull out tag again. 

The image is Magnolia ~ Farewell Tilda. As usual I coloured her with copics and added some stickles.

Pretty crocheted doilies.

Thank you for looking.
