 Hello everyone :)

Thank-you for the lovely comments last week :)

I'm back today with my C4E DT card. This weeks challenge is called

SWEET TOOTH

We would like to see your sweet themed projects, anything with sweets, chocolate or cake on.

 

Our sponsor Crafty Sentiments Designs  has kindly donated a choice of 3 digital stamps to one randomly selected winner.

 For my card this week I have used a C4E digital image called A Balanced Diet.

The lovely Nella is balancing some yummy cupcakes which are topped with gems!

I have coloured Nella with Distress ink and just a hint of stickles ;)

 The DP's are Bo Bunny and I have used a Bo Bunny sentiment stamp along with a My Minds Eye Butterfly stamp and Martha Stewart punched butterflies.

  A few flatback gems and generous helpings of Stickles complete the card.

Crafts 4 Eternity recipe challenege #123 - Tic Tac Toe

 Hello everyone :)

I can't believe I haven't blogged for almost a month! 

It's all go here at the moment with family and work stuff I did get a day off to visit a craft show at The Bath and West Show Ground a couple of weeks ago :) It was a lovely day out with mum :)

 

 Today I have my DT card for the Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe challenge.

I've used a technique I will be teaching this Sunday (12th May) called Multi Medium resist.

It's fab! Unfortunately it doesn't photograph well :(  If you click on the photos to enlarge them it might show a little better. 

Our challenge this week is a game of Tic Tac Toe. I have used Pink, 3 of something (3 pearl gems) and Bling.

I have used a couple of Tim Holtz dies, Torn Notebook on the edge die and Sewing room.

Lots of paint, distress inks, stickles and gems.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid, must get some more I'm running low! And the DP is Bo Bunny Isabella.

The card is very sparkly IRL, and has more dimension than the photos show. Must find a spare hour or two to sort out photographing projects!

All the challenge details and gorgeous DT inspiration can be found

HERE

There is a fab prize up for grabs kindly donated by regular sponsors Floppy Latte.

I will leave you with this last photo of my craft space! 

There are loads of projects on the go at the moment, but most of the mess is from making one simple card!

This all has to be cleared by Saturday night so I can pack for the crop! It will get worse before then lol!

Don't forget to join us for this weeks C4E Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by

Have fun!

Egg-cellent Easter

Hello everyone :)

Sorry I'm a bit late with my post today :(  The internet has been a bit iffy today.

This weeks Crafts 4 Eternity challenge is ...

EGG-CELLENT EASTER!

we would like you to share your Easter projects with us this week.

Any type of project, cards, gifts, layouts and even hats! 

 

It's my turn to sponsor this week!

One randomly selected winner will receive a choice of 3 digital stamps from the C4E collection.

The Design team have been busy again and have some gorgeous inspiration to see, I enlisted the help of my 7 year old to make an Easter hat for his Easter bonnet parade at school today.

It probably wasn't the wisest idea to ask him what he wanted lol! 

"I want a baseball cap with eggs and daffodils"

EEK!!! 

Quick search online for some ideas of how to create a baseball cap from card and 2 attempts to get it right and we have a baseball cap.....sort of it wasn't quite tall enough!

 So we dug out the crepe paper and tissue paper, I start sticking while Alix has fun colouring in Easter eggs.

I drew some daffodil shapes for him to cut out and along with his eggs they are stuck on.

He wanted one hiding behind the sign.

Alix wrote the "Happy Easter" bunting which was squeezed on to the length of ribbon strung between two skewers.

 And here is the little monkey! He was a bit embarrassed in the parade and rushed past so quick all I got was a blurr lol! Got him when we got home though!

So thanks to my baby for helping me with this weeks DT project!

Join us HERE for the challenge this week and to see the fabulous DT creations.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Michele and Alix :)
