CRAFT Challenge DT Call

Good Evening,

There is a Design Team Call over at CRAFT Challenge and those wishing to apply for a position on the team have been asked to create a blog post showing some of their best work and say why  you would like to be part of the team.

The closing date for this call is 31^st March.

I have chosen the following examples because they are amongst my favourites, ones I particularly enjoyed making.

       

        

               

I would love to be part of this talented team because I enjoy the diversity of the challenges they provide. The thing I love most about being part of a DT is the sharing of ideas and being able to visit the blogs of other crafters to see how they have interpreted the challenge. We all learn so much from each other all of the time.

So fingers crossed……..

Key To My Heart

Good morning,

It’s the first Friday of the month and time for a new challenge over at

Creative Artistes Mixed Media Challenge

As always our challenge is Anything Goes with a twist – Use Chipboard

For my project I altered a champagne bottle using Gesso, white acrylic paint, decopatch paper, mulberry and silk flowers, lace, feathers and pearl trim.

I then used frontage on a chipboard key and lock, cut a frame for the vintage picture using a spellbinder die. I embossed this with Wow embossing powder.

Good morning,

                      Can you believe that we have just begun the second month of the year? As it’s the first Friday of the month we have a new challenge over at

Creative Artistes Mixed Media Challenge

This month it’s anything goes – no twist just whatever you like.

We have so many babies arriving in the next few months, so I decided to make a keepsake to welcome the new baby which can also double as a gift.

Filled with socks rolled as rosebuds this can be used as a new baby gift or for a baby shower gift.

I used a cutting file from  Sandra’s Scrap Shop for my Silhouette machine. The template is available as a pdf also if you don’t have a cutting machine.

The papers are from the Baby Elephant set by Designloverstudio over at Etsy.

The lace and ribbon are from my stash.

Hearts and bears were from ebay

Flowers are from Wild orchid crafts.
