Moving!

 Hello everyone :)

Due to my terrible organizing skills at the moment and current work load I have decided to stop posting on the Lilac Diary for a while.

I have found that I am posting the same posts both here and on the C4E Cafe blog and only having time to post once a week.

So for a while, until I discover the whereabouts of the organizing fairy!!

 I will be posting only on the C4E Cafe blog.

I hope that you will understand and will continued to follow me over

HERE

So for the last time here for a while I will tell you that we have a new challenge on the 

C4E Recipe Challenge blog HERE

This week we are sponsored by Pink Gem Designs and as always there is fabulous inspiration from the design team.

This weeks theme is Bear Necessities and we would like to see your Bear themed projects.

Join us HERE for the challenge.

And that is it for a while :(

Many thanks to all my lovely followers and friends for your support, comments and friendship.

I do hope you will follow me over to my new home and join me for coffee and cupcakes :)

 Take care

C4E Recipe challenge #76 - Dashing Dads

 Hello everyone :)

I hope you have had a good week!

Thank-you for the lovely comments last week, the Thanksgiving service went well and the rain held off for a while which was great. I'll try to pop back with some pics soon.

 We have a new challenge for you over on the Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe challenge blog today.

DASHING DADS!

We would like to see all your Father's day or Male themed projects.

We are sponsored this week by Crafty Sentiments Designs and as always there is gorgeous inspiration from the talented design team.

For my card this week I got out the Distress ink pads, stamps and crackle accents. I can't remember all the different stamps and inks I used lol! I just kept grabbing them from the draw!

 

The letters were cut using the Tim Holtz Ransom Masks as a stencil, painted with Gold paint and attacked with the crackle accents.

 

I cut the cogs using Tim Holtz alterations die, they were painted with Gold acrylic paint, inked with Walnut stain Distress Ink and finished with Crackle accents.

I've finished off the card with a couple of brads and some tim Holtz metal cogs....hmmmm bit of a Tim Holtz obsession?? lol!

 Over to you now :) 

Hop over

 HERE 

to join us with this weeks challenge and see the fabulous inspiration from the design team.
