We're off!!

Our challenge is now live over at

Tag-along (and ATC's)

where the theme for May is anything goes!

You can make a tag, an ATC or an ATC coin or all three!

Be sure to hit the follow button and

join us monthly.

For my tag I use flower dies from Tonic Studios,

a leaf punch from SU and the stamp set is

called Hope You Know (SU).

I used inks for my background,

layered up a lacy corner then arranged

my flowers and leaves to suit.

I finished with the sentiment and some pearls

and a ribbon at the top.

I would like to enter my tag into

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

For my ATC I made an inky background and

splashed some water on top, then I

stamped in black using stamp sets from

Molly Blooms and SU.

The sentiment was cut from a pack from

Hunkydory. I finished by inking around

the edges in black ink.

I hope you will join us with your Tags and ATC's

 and one lucky winner will receive this super Tonic Tag die set

from the lovely people at CraftStash who we are sadly closing their doors very soon.

But it does mean they have a huge sale going on

with some super bargains so well worth popping over to take a look.

Tri fold Folio

I have another stash busting folio to share today.

The tutorial is from Cathy's Garden on YouTube.

I have changed a few things and everything has

been machine stitched which makes it really sturdy.

This one is a tri fold folio.

I have made a notebook for the left side with matching pen.

The pockets, front, back and centre contain a tag.

The centre is a larger notebook and to the right I have

made a little scratch pad with various scraps

stitched together.

You can watch a quick walk through here

Mini album for my daughter

I wanted to share another album I made recently.

This one measures 4" wide by 5 1/2" deep.

I went a bit mad with the amount of pages I added

and photos and it's kind of bursting out of itself lol.

So to reinforce it a bit more I added double eyelets

to the centre pages and threaded through some ribbon

and tied a smaller bow.

You can see how fat it ended up lol but it did use up

lots of paper and became a home for lots of old photos.

I spent about two weeks putting this one together, on and off

but was pretty pleased with the finished album.

You can watch a walk through of the album here

Gift card idea

Happy Monday!

I have another box card fun fold to share.

This one was my practise one so not perfect,

but with a bit of twiddling I got it back on form lol.

Very handy shape as it covers a card and a gift in one

if you pop some money or vouchers inside.

I used some retired paper for this one. I love the summery colours along with

the soft blue on the opposite side.

The stamp set is called Hope you Know.

I added some ribbon to make it easier to retrieve the

card from inside the box.

June Mood Board

It's time for our June challenge over at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

and we have another mood board to inspire you.

My card was inspired by the black, silver and pink colours

along with the flowers.

We do of course have a great prize up for grabs so be

sure and join us!

For my card I decided to make a striped background using

1/2" strips of black and white paper.

The flowers have been stamped, stencilled and cut.

I then added a sentiment and some silver thread along with

enamel dots in red and silver.

I even followed the stripes onto the inside with some

stamped and coloured flower corners and a sentiment.

I hope you get time to come and play along.
