Candy Winner Announced!

Good morning lovelies & a very Happy Burns Day to you all!

It's time to announce the winner of my followers Candy giveaway!

I consulted with Mr Random.Org this morning & he generated a number for me

Little drum roll please drrrrrr...................

# 9 - That's you Rachel Fisher! Yay

Please email me 

dawnyfox(at)gmail(dot)com

to claim your prize!

Now while I was chatting to Mr Random, he accidently generated 

another number so to be fair I thought I'd add in another little prize!

#28 That's you Karin! 

can you also email me for a little surprise!

Thanks to everyone who played along & to all of you who visit my blog!

I love seeing all you little faces at the top of my blog each time

I log in.  It reminds me how many lovely people I have met

through blogging & the crafting world!

Surprise Wallet

Good morning all!

Here I am with a different little project for you!

Surprise wallet, one of the fabulous 3D projects from the

 

Spring & Summer 3D Templates CD-Rom

I decided not embellish this project as I wanted to showcase

it in the basic form. I reckon this would be suitable  for a male or a female.

Just adapt the papers & embellishments to suit!

I've tucked a little credit card sized gift card inside!

In this photo I've tucked the gift card in the other side!

 I constructed this project using a good quality double sided paper

which I feel is the perfect weight for all the projectson the CD.

There are easy to follow instructions for all the projects & the files are

 available in both PDF for hand-cutting or SVG for machine cutting. 

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like it!

Baking Shelf 2

Good morning all! It seems I'm on a roll this week! lol

It's Thursday & time for a card for Just Inklined

Here it is!

The lovely image which I have used is called

Baking Shelf 2

It reminds me of visiting relatives when I was a little girl, there was

always a cake being made, in the oven or ready to eat!

I used this sketch 

from Sketch Saturday for my layout

Here's a closer look at the image.

I coloured it up with my watercolour pencils!

I think I still need a lot of practice but I'm fairly happy with 

how it turned out! I inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink

The papers I have used are Kitschy Kitchen by Melissa Frances

Perfect for a kitchen/Baking themed card with all those little cakes.

I added a little Petit Four case under the seam binding bow

just to embellish!  Lol! Well it's a bit different &

this card is destined for a Truffle Making friend of mine!

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like my card.

Here's my card!

The image I have used is from our sponsor 

Lacy Sunshine

She's called Emily Spring Ladybugs

A closer look at the image. 

Coloured with a mix of Flemarkers & promarkers. 

The edges were distresses with a pair of serrated scissors, then inked 

with a liquid chalk inkpad.The DP is from Papermania &

the butterflies were punched with a Tonic punch.

The lace & ribbon threaded through it are from my stash,

as are the little self adhesive pearls on the butterflies!

Good morning all, 

 Here I am with my DT sample for the 

Anything Goes Challenge over at The Crafting Cafe

I have used the image Umbrella- Whimsy 2 from our sponsor 

The Stamping Boutique.

To make this circle stepper card.

I cased a card made by a blogger friend of mine Ali, a while back!

It took me ages to figure out the measurements & after tearing out my hair,

doing so, I realised I should have looked for a tutorial! Doh!

Anyhoo, the base was made using Dottie Card from Anna Marie Designs

The fabric behind the image & sentiment is recycled from a

gauze dressing which was out of date.

The flourishes are cut using Marianne Design Dies.

The pins are from my stash & the flowers were from a candy I won ages ago!

Here's a closer look at the image!

I coloured it with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers,

Then inked all the edges with Spun Sugar Distress Ink

The theme for the new challenge is to make a Man Card

Here's my project, made using the Boys To Men CD

The pyramid decoupage & papers were all from the CD.

The sentiment was made on my pc.

The layout is the great sketch over at Little Claires

Surprise Purse

Good morning lovelies, it's not often I'm here here on a Monday but I just

had to share this little project with you all!

This is Surprise Purse from the Spring & Summer Templates CD Rom

available from La Pashe

Here's the inside of the purse, as you open it, the inside panel pops up

to reveal a little gift card, cash or whatever you choose to put inside!

(in this case a gift card for a local restaurant)

To make this little project I used papers from Papermania, 

a little pearl ribbon slider & some ribbon from my stash.

As I don't have a cutting machine, I used the PNG file, hand cut

& used super sticky DST to stick it together.
