Friday 8pm challenge

This challenge was to use the sketch provided and a wood grain effect if possible.
Here's my LO






and a close up of the woodgrain in case you can't see it it the main picture.

Friday 6pm challenge

Please forgive me but I will be popping in and out all day today and tomorrow to blog the pictures of the projects I complete for Shilmelles online crop.

So here's the first one. Friday 6pm challenge and the theme, yep you guessed, cupcakes.




I made a mini book of photographs of the cake shop windows in St Kilda, Melbourne. I think if I am going to keep up I need to be much less ambitious with the other challenges. Hope you like my pictures.

Create 10 class 2

So I am still keeping up and here is my class 2 LO. Not sure that dry brushing is ever going to be my thing but I did give it a go.
I made a bookmark for the extra challenge which was to use some techniques from class1 and class 2. I had another go at the dry brushing to create a background. I used the distressed and cut paper technique from class 2 and the ribbon roses technique from class 1.

Well look at me blogging twice on the same day hehe!!!


Here my submission for this weeks Sunday Stamper challenge. The challenge is to use "silver". I ran a piece of silver mirri card through the big shot with the cuttlebug paisley embossing folder and picked up the detail with black staz on. The flowers are stamped on to grunge paper covered in text papers, sorry I don't know where the stamps are from.

Create 10 class 1


I am taking part in the Create 10 project. A project everyday for 10 days. So far I am keeping up well LOL.


Here's my first LO complete with my ribbon and tissue paper roses - don't look too close.The instructions did say to pleat the ribbon evenly but as you can see I didn't quite mange that.

I apologise for the poor photgraphy, my camera doesn't like the colour lilac for some reason. Shame really as its my favourite colour.

Well Its almost Cyber crop time again on UK Scrappers and to keep us busy while we prepare the leader of Team Thimbles set us a weekend challenge - to make or alter a box to keep all out treasures in. Heres mine, I am quite pleased with how it turned out.
