turquoise white & black wedding: happiness be yours

Hello there! Well you can tell I didn't have a seasonal bone in my body when I made this piece for the black, white and one other colour at Cupcake Craft Challenge!

I don't know what it was about this challenge, but for some reason I went for a wedding theme using turquoise, white and black.

I have a very white background with a touch of turquoise and a hint of black.

This is pretty much Magnolia themed.

Images: I can never tire of this couple Magnolia: Sitting Wedding Tilda and Sitting Wedding Edwin. Coloured with copic markers and I added some stickles. I have them sitting on a Magnolia ~ Vintage Couch which I just inked and cut out, adding on some stickles to mute the brightness a little. 

Magnolia sentiment.

And even Magnolia Doohickeys with a lush Teresa Collins brad.

I am entering into the following challenges:

• feeling blue ~ Fussy & Fancy Challenges
• use some texture ~ Stampin' for the Weekend
• stitched up ~ Totally Papercrafts
• anything goes ~ Tilda's Town
• flowers ~ Sweet Stampin
• anything goes ~ Creative Card Crew
• pastel colours ~ Deep Ocean Challenge

Thank you for looking.

Good evening! Today sees a new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity where we want to see some kind of musical element on your project.

I was going to make a whole batch of similar cards, but that idea fizzled out after two. LOL!

Here is the first:

Papers: Teresa Collins ~ Noel. I have tons of this paper, it is gorgeous.

Here is the second one.

Love these wooden hearts which I sprayed with glimmer mists.

Thank you for looking.

you can dance

In the words of Madonna ... you can dance ...

This week at Crafts 4 Eternity we have this fabulous colour challenge. You can use any combination of the colours that you like, but I just love a pink and purple colour combo, so went with it.

I used my Spellbinders ~ Grand Labels Four to cut out a double layer and I cut an aperture in the top layer and then glittered all the edges.

Papers: >Fancy Pants ~ Dancing Girl.

In the back of my head, I wanted to create an effect as if she were on stage, but I'm not sure I achieved that.

Love this cute little Tilda Magnolia ~ Tilda with Ballet Shoes. I coloured her with copics and added some stickles.

Off to a bonfire night tonight, burgers & mulled wine. Yum!

 

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• pearls & flowers ~ Fussy & Fancy
• anything goes ~ Anything Goes; Stampin' for the Weekend; Raise the Bar
• flowers in 3D ~ Shopping Our Stash

today

Hello and happy Friday! Another week rolls by. Today it is a new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity where we have a theme of bugs.

With this in mind, I was packing up from a project made way back when (was running out of room on my craft desk) and saw this paper and thought it would be good to use for this challenge.

It wasn't until I'd finished that I suddenly thought, are these waspy type creatures actually bugs? Or are bugs really, crawl along the ground type creatures? You know, I did spend quite some time thinking about this ... lol. Eventually, I decided that any little creature that bugs me is a bug and these sure do, so they fit the bill.

Papers: Teresa Collins ~ Everyday Moments. These are a really beautiful luxuriously thick cardstock, love them.

The sentiment is also cut from the card and I added some Prima bloomers and a lacey flower. 

Thank you for looking.

warm memories

Hello! Happy Friday! So happy to be here after a yukky week trying to work through a head cold. It is soooo exhausting when it drags on so long. Not much crafty time going on as I've been so exhausted by the time I got home from work at night. Anyway, hopefully now I am over the worst in time to enjoy the weekend!

Today we have a fabby new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity and that is lots of leaves. So we want to see lots of leaves on your creations.

For my project I made a box and filled it with some little autumn themed note cards.

Only, because of my yukky week, I have only so far made two notecards and unfortunately haven't had any daylight hours to take a photo of them, so I will have to come back and post them later. But they have more leaves on them!

So, going back to my box, I am really into making boxes right now. For the papers I have used Imaginisce ~ Apple Cider.

Also used my absolutely most favourite die, Magnolia ~ Magnolia tree. Added some little incy wincy flowers.

Thank you for looking and I'll be back later with my notecards!

Good evening! I'm so late getting my blog post written up for this week's challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenges.  Truth is, I came down with a stonking head cold yesterday evening and woke up with it full blown today. My head doesn't feel like it belongs to me and my concentration levels are zero! 

So, on with the challenge where we have a think pink theme! Include as much or as little as you like.

Well when I was scrabbling around, trying to think what to do, I had a bit of a bingo moment when I came across these Teresa Collins ~ Freestyle bracket album covers.

I dug out the matching paper and cut some words from it.

Added an extra clock.

Image: Dina Wakley ~ Lonely Girl. I'm loving these stamps.

Thank you for looking!
