Pegs and Bags to show you...

Here are a few bits I have made for my craft fairs. Both ideas have been completely shamelessly nicked from the fantastic It's All Fiddle Fart blog. The pegs are basic wooden clothes pegs with a small magnet glued onto the back, front side covered in paper and decorated with gems, buttons, flowers etc. The handbags are too tall so I need to work on that but I like the overall effect of the bags and they were so quick to make.

Girly Card for 3 Challenges and a Very Good Cause...

This is my entry for these 3 challenges:
Simon Says 24 Hour Card for Paige/Girly Challenge
Basic Grey Week 5 Challenge - A Sketch by Martine
Passion for ProMarkers Week 19 - Apricot & Cool Aqua & Flower

I have followed Martine's fabby sketch for the Basic Grey challenge and will be sending the card to Paige for the Simon Says Challenge. I have used a card blank and an oval die-cut greeting from Craftwork Cards, beautiful Basic Grey Marrakech papers, Basic Grey Lemonade buttons, Prima e-line white flowers coloured with cool aqua and apricot ProMarkers with vanilla dew drops added to the centres. The image was given to me so not sure what it is (sorry!) I have coloured her with cool aqua, apricot, sandstone, ivory & blush ProMarkers and matted her onto some apricot and pale blue cardstock.

Thanks for looking x

Another Christmas Card...

I love this Tilda image, she's so pretty! The paper is from a Papermania Christmas range and is leftover bits from some coaster calendars I made. The snowflakes are by K&Co, Swell Noel. Not my usual 'style' but I think I quite like it ;-)

A Christmas Card for 2 Challenges

This is my card for the following 2 challenges...
Creative Card Crew Challenge 30 - All That Sparkles
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 51 - Aminal Antics

For the card I have used a large square card blank & circle greeting from Craftwork Cards, green & red Bazzill cardstock, Eskimo Kisses papers from Basic Grey, the glittered 3D snowflake is from K&Co Swell Noel range. The gorgeous stamp is by Gillian Roberts and called Bear and Robin and coloured with Promarkers and white opaque pen. The ribbon was from my stash and the scallop circle was cut with my Quickutz Squeeze and is part of a 2 die set called journaling block. I used lots of Stickles Icicle glitter glue on the bears Santa hat.

Hope you like it x

Advent Calendar Countdown...

I had a go making this cute advent calendar countdown thingie after seeing this fab idea on Helen's brilliant blog. I have used a chipboard coaster, printed the text in Word and cut out. I added a holly stamp to each page and coloured in with ProMarkers. The paper covering the coaster and clip is by Papermania and the 3D snowflakes are from K&Co Swell Noel range. I am going to add this to my mum and dad's advent countdown bag - here.

I loved making this and want to say a huge thank you to Helen for the brilliant idea xxx
