New month, new challenge at Craft Queen

Happy Sunday to you all!

Another month has rolled by and we have a great new challenge over at Craft Queen.  This month is a wedding theme… all you need to do is create any project at all with a wedding theme and use any of Craft Queens products and you will go into the random draw to win a ribbon pack 🙂

Here is my take – close ups first…

I hand made the flowers with calico and used a simple Craft Queen button in the centre.  Also used more yummy Satin Seam binding for a background layer – you all know how much I love this stuff!!

Be sure to check out the other DT inspiration and all entries here.

Bird is the word "Sparkle"

Hi there Everyone 🙂
What a super busy weekend I have had!  Lots of fun Mummy things on Sat and a craft show today 🙂  Lots of fun indeed but absolutely no scrapping – I know, I’ll be ok!!
… So onto why I’m here and that is to let you know this fortnights word challenge at Bird is the Word… I could NOT wait for this one!  It is “Sparkle” and I have been itching to scrap Caitlin’s 5th Birthday party and what a FAB word to do them with 🙂  I went all out with sparkles, flowers and even hand cut a couple of fairies.
I’m sorry these photos are so dark, we have had no end of poor weather here, and it seemed every time I went to photograph these it was overcast or raining!!!
This one I lightened…..
I really hope you have the chance to play along this fortnight, this one has been a favourite for me and I can’t wait to see what creations you all come up with!!
Have a scrappy week everyone!

Scrap Friends Design Team Call out

Hi Everyone,

Did you know that Scrap Friends is having a Design Team call out?  Well they are, and they are looking for all sorts of scrappy people at all levels of experience so I thought why not give it a go? You need to create a brand new project just for the call out inspired by the below photo.  They have a great on-line store with all the best brands and this really neat way to search for products by colour, theme, manufacturer etc AND what I love the most is that they are local to me, so delivery is overnight!!! Yeahhh for me!

Here is the inspiration for your entry:

I really loved this colour combo – so easy to work with.
So here is what I came up with, close ups first so you can see all the pretties 🙂 (Prima flowers and resin, Martha punch, Scrapware and Kaiser chippie, Craft Queen button and Glitz Design paper and those pretty pearls are My2Angels)

I don’t think I will ever get sick of that yummy satin seam binding from Craft Queen if you don’t have any of this yet, you NEED IT!

and the full layout…

How well did that background turn out!  So pleased with it.

So that is my entry… if you want to give it a go (and why not!) you can check all the details out here entries close at the end of the month.

Bird is the word "Charm"

Hi everyone!  
I know every time I post a BITW challenge I make a comment about how fast the fortnight has gone and this fortnight has been no different! This weeks word is Charm….  First thing I thought of was “lucky charm” and then my romantic side kicked in so I went with this….
For the background I have misted using my new Prima template, I have a feeling you are going to see quite a bit of this one!!… and a close up…
Check out all the other DT work and this months sketch here.  There is quite a range of ideas this week!
Last but not least… I have been lucky enough to receive my very first ever Blog award!  
Thanks so much Melinda! You always inspire me so it means a lot that you support my little blog and find inspiration here 🙂
  
Have a great week everyone and thanks for stopping by!
