Believe!

 Today's post is for the New Challenge at 

Creative Artiste Mixed Media

This is a short one this month as we are

in the process of selling our small farm and

moving to a retirement village.

With so much to do my craft time is very limited.

I did get a bit of time to create this small piece

giving me the chance to unwind from decluttering etc.

Had brother in law help over Easter and has

done a good job of helping take some 

farm supplies back to his place.

I did take a few photos and made a list of products used.

I cased this card Here and you can click on her blog

showing how she made it.

I used gesso, texture paste, Lindy's Magical's,

torn paper, washi tape, chipboard, art stones,

gold mica powder, butterfly die from stash, 

cabachon and sentiment. 

Attached to purple base.

Head over and check out what my Team Mates created

and hope you can add your mixed media piece to our Gallery.

This will be my last piece for now as I pack up

my craft room for the big move north.

Just 'Hi'

It is my turn to Host at Just Us Girls

for our Colour Week and I chose 

Purple Orange and Mustard.

With a new month we have a New Guest - 

Colleen Begley is joining us. Welcome!

Once again I saw a CAS card from 

former Jugs Designer Cecile Ribon

which was perfect using the above colours.

Added a Spellbinder square die, floral die,

 purple ribbon, thread and gem.

Finished with a simple sentiment.

Popped in front of DP (the same as the floral die)

Check out what Colleen and the Team created

and hope they inspired you to

add yours to our Gallery.

Simply For You!

Sue is Hosting our Stencil Challenge at Just Us Girls

A CAS card here for today's post.

My stencil is from Tim textured onto kraft paper.

Added a few die cut daisies with liquid pearls to the centre,

some black thread to the back and

 tied tagged sentiment to complete.

Attached to white card base.

Head over and see what our Guest Tracey

and the Team stencilled for your inspiration

and come join in with yours to our Gallery.

As it is the last challenge for the month we bid farewell to

Tracey and a Big Thank You for sharing her talents with us.

Happy Birthday & Challenge #300 for Cut It Up.

It's our BIRTHDAY and

Our #300th Challenge at 

Cut It Up Challenge 

How cool is that!

I seem to be in a Daisy Mood lately

as I did for my last CIU card but this time - 

 using different dies and colours.

I stencilled the background and added a

 combination of Lindy's Magicals and Nuvo Shimmer,

die cutting and inking my daisy and leaves.

Added some scripting to the background,

a tiny frame and finished with a

Happy Birthday Sentiment.

Attached to white card base.

Head over and see what wonderful

Birthday cards the Team created.

Hope to see yours in our Gallery.

A Jugs/Time Out Reminder

 Today's post is a Reminder that you still have time to 

enter your Bird/Birds of a Feather cards for our Collaboration with

us at Just Us Girls and Time Out

A really CAS card here using the lovely bird stamp

from That's Crafty with an appropriate blue background

from my Magical's for the sky.

Die cut the frame and backed it in black

onto blue card base.

Hope you have entered our JUGS Challenge

and Time Out Challenge. If not you still have a

wee bit of time to do so.

It's all about The Birds!

We have a special treat for you this time round at

Just Us Girls 

We are collaborating with Time Out Challenge

for their Birds of a Feather

It is our Word Week and Bobby is Hosting with

BIRDS 

For all the details check our Blog Post.

I have several birds flying around the flowers and bird cage.

Kraft paper is so hard to photograph and 

a shame it doesn't show it's true colours here.

I have used an old Spellbinder die for the frame,

Kaisercraft bird cage, different dies for the birds,

big fourish and MS punch for the flowers.

Centres have Liquid Pearls.

Background is an old retired SU stamp

and sentiment is STAMPlorations.

Added a few pearls to the cage.

Head over and check out how our Guest Tracy

and the Team chose to showcase their BIRDS,

join in our Bird Challenge

and your card will be automatically entered through our link

to Time Out Birds of a Feather Challenge

(which runs for two weeks)

See you there

There's Tartan Trees for Christmas Craft Creations

 Hello and Welcome!

Here is this month's Theme for

Christmas Craft Creations

I have once again gone CAS using some of my

precious Tartan Designer Paper - like how scraps

come in handy like they did here.

Die cut my trees, adding a silver snowflake

and adding small strips of that paper to the side.

Attached to shimmery card stock and white card base.

Have you checked out the gallery to see 

what my Team Mates created?

It's always fun to see how they inspire you with their creations.

Hope to see yours there! I know how we all have

so much designer paper eh! No excuse!
