Hello..........thank you so much for stopping by  

I'd like to show you what I've made for the new "Die cut" Challenge at "Stuck on U Sketches"
We would like to see your creations with Die cut numbers.


My Christmas Card 


I've used Cricut - A 'Quilted Christmas' for the card base,
Plantin School Book' for the numbers and 'Art Philosophy' for the scallop shape under the numbers......I also used the coordinating stamp for the design.

I look forward to seeing what you create.........be sure to visit "Stuck on U Sketches" to see all the fabulous DT inspiration.

I've been so busy with family and decorating the house for Christmas.......I still have 'Things to do, Places to go, People to see :)  Hope to be back soon?

White with One.........

 My favourite colour is Blue.......so I had to find sometime to play along with this months colour challenge at White with one!

'White with one' and Blueberry

Here's what I came up with....


As I was trying to choose papers , I lay them all out with just an inch or so showing.......It was just a fluke but I liked how they looked together so I decided to use them all. I cut them in strips , then joined them with a zig zag stitch. Some pretty flowers, pearls, lace , sequins, doily...just a few of my favourite things :)

White with One have joined up with "Creative Scrappers" ........this is the sketch  followed.


Thanks for stopping by..........Enjoy your weekend :)

Hello...........the last two weeks have just flown! Time to show you the new "Die cut challenge" at "Stuck on U Sketches.
The theme is FOOD
Well, I decided to get a head start on some Christmas cards, so...........here is my cute little ginger bread girl and boy and house.


I used 'My Community' to cut the house. The roof is covered in puffy paint, with a sprinkling of glitter. I cut the girl and boy with 'Paper Doll dressups'.....the faces are stamped with 'Peachy Keen' and I used 'Art Philosophy' for the scallop card shape.

The design team have some fabulous creations to show you......be sure to stop by HERE and check them out!

Friends.......

Hi everyone,
Its been a very busy week.........Not a lot of time to create :( 

But I did make some time today to do a layout for this months "Scrap the Girls" challenge.
Its a quote challenge.

"Friendship isn't a Big Thing, its a Million Little Things"

Here's my take on it....

  

I had lots of fun designing this overlay with my Gypsy then cutting it with the cricut. It was too pink, so I brushed some Gesso over it to tone it down. I've added bits and pieces of everything........flowers, buttons, sequins, washi tape, staples, lace and twine. I stamped the banner then coloured it in.

So Happy its the weekend tomorrow......Its going to be fun........I'll tell you more next week!

Happy creating........thanks for popping by, have a great day :)

Hearts......

Hey there,

Its time to show you the new Die cut challenge at Stuck on U Sketches.
"Create a Banner"
I've created a simple Banner using lots of Hearts from scrap paper.......embellishing them with flowers, buttons and some liquid pearls.


The large doily heart was cut using Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art ....the smaller ones were cut with George. I used my sewing machine to join them all together. 

This looks really pretty hanging across my kitchen dresser.

Yay.......its Friday, have a great weekend
