sewing things

Using up old stuff with a cute piece of Crate Paper chipboard, the papers are from a prize I won from a crop, flowers just lots of layers.

scattered hearts

Another one of those patterned paper free cards, I’m never happy with my scattering of things (gems etc) or the hearts on this card.

vellum skies

@lawnfawn held their 4th annual catalogue contest, and the rules said no patterned paper. Now I love patterned paper, so I thought I’d give the challenge a go.

The ‘cloud vellum’ was created by colouring vellum with promarkers and then using teh blender to remove cloudy sections of colour.

bright starburst

A while ago I made a card with the @lawnfawn paper plane forming a starburst but I wasn’t quite happy with it, so I revisited the idea here again.

flippy birthday

Apologies for the complete lack of updates of late, my life should be getting back to normal after a new job, a new house (as well as moving for a short term waiting to get into the house) and general chaos associated with such a big move. I am now starting to get settled again, and am relishing every moment of crafting I get to relax.

Interestingly, this card features the very first die I bought and the most recent.

home sweet home

Sorry it’s been quiet around here, hopefully I should manage a few posts in the coming days and weeks. I’m in the process of buying a house and am currently staying with family and friends until the solicitors work their magic, consequently my crafting supplies are all packed away.

An old stamp from whipper snapper, and some nice relaxing colouring in.

I’m really trying hard to make this layers thing work for me, but I’m not always happy with it, I tried making this one look a bit less flat which I’m liking, but really this layout needs a bit more detail to be really finished.

blushing bride

I love the B side of @mymindseyeinc papers, they’re always so useable and I used to hoard them, but now in my mindset of stashbusting I’m not holding on to anything no matter how pretty, it shall be used, and I shall enjoy using it. So upon finding these (now four year old) Bloom & Grow papers I decided that they were perfect to scrap this photo of my wedding, as you can see I wasn’t exactly the blushing bride :P

wake of hearts

Let me start of saying I love my highgloss @lawnfawn hearts, but this card didn’t turn out quite how I had planned it… the scattering of hearts isn’t quite how I imagined I wanted them, I’m working up ideas on how to improve this in my head, so lets call this one version 1.
