Take your pick!

Hi all

I thought I'd make an appearance around here and show you what I've been doing lately!

I've had a few trials and tribulations over that past few weeks and at the moment I've totally fallen out of love with my pens and colouring - I just can't get my act together at all

when it comes to my alcohol pens : (

However I haven't stopped crafting or creating.  I've really been enjoying die cutting and mixed media, journaling, construction work and general messy crafting!  

I have a few projects to share that I made for Crafter's Companion recently

They have some great deals on Hochanda tomorrow with pick and mix packs

They are all featuring the  Die'sire Classiques corner die collection

I made this easel card with the fab lace corner die 

and Luxury card pack in Ice blue

The bow is the lovely Brooch die from the Downton Abbey range

 words are all from the Diesire only words sets

 - great sentiments for every occasion!

This box is made with the heart corner die

black card and Centura pearl metallics card

My final card was a really quick and easy one

made with the butterfly corner die and  Sheena Stamping card

Highlighted with Pebeo gilding wax (empire gold)

The butterflies and swirls are from Sara's Shabby chic collection

The shows are on at 8am and 11am tomorrow 

Lots of fab demos from the Crafter's Companion team

- be there or be square!!

I'll be back soon with some more to share

have a great weekend

Winter (wonderland)Chaos and spring fever

Good morning all

We're up and running again over at 

Winter Wonderland

We found out that our lovely DT leader Eileen (Stars cards) is very poorly in hospital at the moment and we've been cast a drift a bit , firstly because we didn't know where she was , then we didn't know what to do without her!  In the meantime Helen has taken over temporarily and we are running the challenge without our sponsors at the moment as we're not really sure about things!!

I'm sure you all agree that we need  to thank Helen for taking on the task and  also send our love and prayers to Eileen, we are being updated by her friend as to how she is and hope we will hear some good news about her soon

Anyway......

the theme of the challenge is

Spring Fever

(flowers, romance, sunshine  etc)

(we don't run Christmas challenges for the first few weeks of the year - to give you all a break!!)

I decided just to go with a pretty floral scene - of what I would like it to be like - instead of miserable cold and damp!!
