*Third Post of the day - please scroll down*

The lovely Kathy set the challenge on the CMLI group on Craftbubble,. It was a sketch using a DL card and 'white space'....oh no!! I embraced it fully and even did two cards, YAY ME!!

The first card was coloured using cosmic shimmers as paint which was a technique I have never tried before (I bought them this weekend!)

As I was supposed to have white space I put the sentiment on the inside

I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Creative Inspirations - plain and simple
Crafts and Me - things with wings
Corrosive Challenges - magical creatures


Here is my second card

Christmas recipe club #2

 *2nd post of today - please scroll down*

Clare set the recipe for this fortnight's challenge, which was ; 
- as white as a ghost
- a touch of Christmas colours
- a present
- a knot or bow

I knew the perfect stamp and a way to to get a touch of Christmas colours....paper piecing! The gifts are paper pieced with some scraps i had lying around!

 I am also entering this into I Love Promarkers Challenge and the Alphabet Challenge blog which is paper piecing.

Book'n'Stash

This is the grungeboard book i created, the front and back look wonky but one of them looks longer than the other! oh and the stuff i bought :)

Fab weekend

I have had a wonderful weekend with my crafting buddies, we travelled down to Accrington and did a workshop at Dawn Bibby's shop with Rachel who owns Darkroom Door crafts. We had a fab time and chatted to Dawn herself, sadly one of our merry bunch couldn't be there but glitter was thrown in her favour. We made a book using grunge board and paste..i will post pics tomorrow..there was also much shopping going on!

Thanks to Phil and Mrs Phil at Maple Lodge who let us take over their dining room for the weekend and craft :)
