Happy Mothers Day

Auzz Trinklets N Craft theme for May is 'Mothers Day'

My Mum loves the colour orange.......I created this card for her using 'Altenew Brush Art Floral'

I used chalk inks to stamp the flowers and leaves. The heart shape card was die cut with my cricut using 'Lifes a Party' cartridge. I used foam to mount the top layer to the card for added dimension.

A splatter of gold colour shine and a few sequins.

More flowers inside. 

I've had this stamp for ages.....I'm using here for the first time. I really like the shape of the flowers! I think you are going to see it a lot more😊

Happy Creating

The Shabby Tea Room # 245

Hey Everyone.......happy Monday to you!

Its time to start creating  for your 'Valentine'

The new challenge theme at The Shabby Tea Room is 'I {Heart} You'

along with this pretty photo for inspiration.

My Artistic Adventures Etsy is sponsoring this challenge. 

I have used 'Vintage Victorian Shabby Chic cupid arrow postcards and Vintage Valentine Sweethearts digital paper on both cards.

I really love the pretty Heart prints........Here's another card with the blue paper. I have used 'Life's a Party cricut cartridge to cut the Heart shape card and 3 D Bows for the paper bow.  The heart shape window was created in Cricut Craft Room. I covered the edges with gold paint ( I have no ink) I know it looks a bit messy!  I rubbed it on with my fingers, then I picked up the bow, which then left paint where I  didn't want it.....Oh well.......lets call it 'Shabby' ?

Paper Sweeties 'Hello Friend' stamp set for the inside.

Lets see Your {Heart} creations........for a chance to win some pretty papers.

Be sure to check out what the other DT members have created

Happy Crafting

Hey everyone......Guess where I am?

 As you read this I am in Yosemite National Park , yep I'm in America. We are on our way to Canada ...to help my husband parents  celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. I'm so excited.... on Sunday I will be in San Francisco, I can't wait to meet with Leah , one of the leaders of Stuck on U Sketches, woo hoo!

Any way

Its time to show you the new "Die cut" challenge at Stuck on U Sketches.

A friend of mine is getting engaged....this is the card I made for her.

 Die cut Window

The card shape is from "Life's a Party" cartridge. I created the window using a clear plastic sheet ...adding some sequins , then I  stitched around the edges to hold them in place. Love these pretty papers from Heidi Swapp.

Thank you for visiting........as soon as I get a chance I'll stop by to see what you have been creating.

Welcome Baby

Stuck on U Sketches Die cut challenge this week is 

"Word Art"

 How adorable is this photo of my niece's new  baby girl.....Eliza Jade.

The word art 'Welcome Baby' is part of the scallop background paper cut all in one piece using 'Life's a Party' cricut cartridge. I then  cut the letters from a white glitter card stock, the dots are liquid pearls.The butterflies were cut using 'Art Philosophy' cartridge. The pretty papers are Kaiser Lullaby collection.

I'm entering my layout in the challenge at "Scrap the Girls"........add Hearts or Doilies - I have added both :)

Everyone needs a party hat! I have cupcake toppers and pretty gift bags......

As you all might know I like using my cricut......I have combined it with Paper Sweeties stamps.

I cut the party hat with 'Lifes a Party' cartridge, then stamped all over it with a circle pattern from 

"Fun Shapes" stamp. I used 'Art Philosophy' for the scallop circle shape layering it with a tiny doily then a another Fun shape.

I added ' Heart xox 'shape wings to the butterfly using 'Fun shapes' , Butterfly Kisses is from 'You are Amazing'

The Heart shape for this topper is from "Love",  Sweetness x 10 is from 'You are Amazing'

'Fun shapes' was used again to make this cute little banner for the sweet bags. Oh, and I stamped Sweet on the peg.

Follow your Heart............

'The Shabby Tea Room' challenge # 114 ........ Be inspired by the colours in this gorgeous photo and to create a Shape Card.

I decided to go with my favourite shape a HEART. 

I used 'Life's a Party' cricut cartridge to cut the scallop heart.

I wanted to create flowers similar to the ones in the  photo.......lots and lots of pretty petals.

So  I recycled some tissue paper, cutting lots of layers with a flower die. 

They look so soft and fluffy:) Underneath the crinkle ribbon and flowers is a lace doily........it is a little hard to make out in the photo. The sentiment is from stamping up and the embossing folder is from Sizzix.

 

I have a" Guest Design " spot at The Shabby Tea Room on Monday...........so excited:)

Have a fabulous weekend everyone

Thank you 4 stopping by, see you soon

Happy Easter

Hi.........and Happy Easter to everyone,

The kids are on school holidays at the moment........... there has not been a lot of time for creating.

Yesterday I made a few Easter baskets and boxes for them , so that is what I have to show you today.

For this basket I used Easter 2010 , the flowers are from "Mothers Day Bouquet"

 I love this one........its from "Wrap it Up". I tied some twine around the edges for added strength .

This one and the following two are all from "Life's a party"

See you back here on Sunday for "Birthday Sundaes".

Its a busy week for me............two of my children have Birthdays 3 days apart, so I'll be busy baking and I still have to make them cards!

 So much for being organised!

HAPPY EASTER to you, enjoy the time with your families.

Bye 4 now

Tracey
