Rustle, Crunch, Repeat!


Mo's Digital Images had a sketch challenge for
this lovely Patreon freebie so I had to have a go at it.

The image is just adorable and it comes with the
gorgeous background papers.
It's called 'leaves n biscuits'.
I paired it up with a paper pack from Nitwits
called Tailwags.
I used an old leaf punch to add some leaves
and the sentiment is also free with the image
so punched it out and layered it up
with an added paw print.
Perfect little autumn buddy!
He has been coloured up with my markers.

It's my hubby's 66th birthday today
so we are hoping to get away for the day, weather permitting!
I hope you have a great weekend
with nicer weather than last weekend!!!

Double Post


I have another card to share for our challenge over at
STAMPING SENSATIONS
where the optional theme is CAS.

For this card I have used a stamp set called Summer Surfboard
from Amazon. The card base is from my stash
and the sentiment was stamped from a set called
Sending Support (SU) and punched using an oval punch.
I masked the stamp to fit in lots of boards
and they have been coloured using my markers.

Remember we have a lovely prize up for grabs
so be sure and get your entries in.

I also have another card for our challenge over at
where the optional theme is cute!

For my card I went with a House-Mouse Stamp called
cheese wrapper.
The papers are front a Nitwits set called Believe
and I used a kraft card for my base.
The image has been coloured with markers.
The flowers, border and sentiment have been printed off
and 3d'd  and I finished it off with some
pearl stars which I am not overly happy about.
But they are stuck now lol.

Remember we have two prizes up for grabs
this month so be sure and join us.

Christening Day


I had a Christening card to make recently and this
is what I came up with.
The papers are from Nitwits - baby milestone girl
image is from Mo' Digital Images.
She has been coloured with markers and
her dress and hat have been covered in wink of stella,
but not showing in photo unfortunately.
I embossed the background using a Cuttlebug embossing folder.
Flowers where printed and fussy cut
from same Nitwits set.
It was finished with a ribbon and gems.

It's still chucking it down here.
My poor flowers have had the heads beat off them.
September is generally a nice month here
but certainly not this year!
Have a good week.

Things with wings


I sharing another tag and ATC for our midway challenge over at
where the option theme is things with wings.

For my tag base I started by covering it
in cosmic shimmer in candy pink.
I then used a stencil and some gesso
to add texture here and there.
When it was dry I stamped some text using
a stamp set called Gorgeously Made (SU).
Then I stamped some flowers from a set
called Flourishing Phrases and cut them out.
I inked up the background in various colours
of distress ink then spritzed with water and
removed some again.
The flowers were cut to fit the tag
and some pearls added to the centres.
Next came the dragonfly which was stamped, punched,
coloured and layered up.
The set is from SU called Dragonfly Garden.
I added some sentiments from an old Hunkydory book
and some sequins here and there.
It was finished with a piece of seam binding
which I coloured to match.
I definitely embraced the journey here lol
but totally enjoyed getting messy.

I would like to enter my tag into

************************************


For my ATC I used some scrap paper cut to the size.
I stamped tree branch, leaves and music notes
directly onto my base. Then I stamped and punched
the bird, layering it up, and added to my branch.
The stamp set used is called Sweet Songbirds (SU).
The wording was cut from a free craft paper set from
years ago, which I coloured to match the bird.
I finally ran the ATC through my sewing machine
for the stitching.

Be happy!


I made another little brad bound book,
this time for myself.
I have filled it with lots of inspirational
saying that I have been collecting for a few years.

I just wanted something I could dip into
when I needed and I am quite pleased
with the finished book.

You can watch a quick flip through here


The papers I used are from  an old pack from
We R Memory Keepers called Promenade Pinwheel.
It has been laminated and I used brads as my
binding so I can add more if I want to.
The closure is a simple elastic with a little
flower attached.
Inside I have used lots of lace from my stash
and used an SU butterfly punch, using the leftover
papers, to keep the butterfly theme throughout.
I did add a few pages of vellum which has been
border embossed using an old folder from
Crafter's Companion.

It's absolutely miserable out there today.
Even the house is in darkness!
A day for the craft room me thinks 😑

Vintage Folio


This folio has been lying around for a while waiting to be finished
so I finally took the bull by the horns.
It was a free download from Vectoria Designs a long time
ago which I printed off and inked up the edges.
The front has a bakers twine closure to which
I threaded on some cute star beads.
You can see the insides here

I have filled it with some tags, a mini notebook and
some atcs.

Cute little mini TNB


Back with the last of my Traveller's Note Books.
This bunch have been rainbow themed for
the upcoming craft show.

You can watch a quick run through here

I did make a bunch of the little ones, some bigger ones
and a few mini sketch books.


These are  the sketch books.
I just kept them plain, no beads etc, with brad spine and elastic closure.


My daughter was over the moon and hopefully
they will sell for her.
I bought all the stuff from Amazon which included
stickers, papers, elastic, beads, keyrings and ribbon.
Stamp set used: Love this moment (SU).

September Tag-along (and ATC's)


It's time for a new theme over at
and our optional theme has been chosen by Lynn
and she wants us to use
things with wings.


  

For my tag I followed a tutorial on YouTube from
Treasure Books, HERE.
She was making a teabag holder so I went with tag holder. 


It's a lovely fold using 6"x6" papers
and inside I could fit another two tags.
So the front is a tag, inside holds two tags
and there is a little mini tag that holds it closed.


I used yellow card (SU),
paper scraps from my stash (SU),
stamp sets called
Delightful Day, Approaching Perfection and
Framed Florets.
I also used bakers twine, a brad, butterfly punch (SU)
and my sewing machine.

I would like to enter this into


**********************************************

For my ATC I used a piece of scrap paper
and in the centre I stamped using a set from
Papermania called Chronology.
I then added some flower stickers to the corners.
I machine stitched around the edges and added
some black ink for definition.
The dragonfly was stamped, gold embossed and punched using
an old set from SU called Dragonfly Garden.
I inked it up with my blending brush and
added some gold pearls.
I finished it off with some wording from
the same sheet of paper which I ink blended
to match the dragonfly.
