Door Hanger

Here's a door hanger I made. When I saw the image of the plant pots, I knew I had the perfect stamp to go with it. So I decided to make a door hanger and pop it in my study. I made this at 3am this morning when I couldn't sleep.

Tooth Fairy Box

This week's design challenge was to make anything but a card. I decided to alter a box and use this adorable Fairy image. I made a Tooth Fairy box, I loved the image.

Busy busy...no time for crafting

Time goes by so fast. You've great plans to settle down and craft but then life gets in the way. Juggling work, college, home life, trips to London and an unexpected stint in hospital, there's been no time to craft and I WANT TO CRAFT!! This all in the last 2 weeks too.

When I started college I said that some of what I do would go on hold but never intended for crafting to stop. So today, resting my poor back...I've got 4 protruding disks causing awful pain and am on so many pain killers...I decided to browse Pinterest. I just love that site, it's great.

I've a few projects to work on like the my May Holiday Card Swap that I'm hosting over on Art & Images By Kym (you'll see the button below) - a pretty cool swap where in I list a number of unusual holidays around the world, then we make a card based on one and post it to our partner. I also have a DT challenge to make for Pattie's Creations Design Challenges. She has a seriously good Etsy shop where she sells her own digi images and there's an amazing selection to choose from. I'd recommend popping over and treating yourself. Then I've a special project to work on for my mum's 60th and I want to make some token gifts for some special friends. All this crafting on top of another assignment and some studying too. 

It's Easter Time

It's Easter time, a time for chocolate eggs and my favorite, chocolate mini eggs. This week Pattie is hosting an Easter them over on her Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. I fell in love with this image and just had to use it. I decide to make a duo, a card and altered ceramic holder...full of mini eggs...yummy!

Where's the time going?

Wow, it's been nearly a month since I last posted or did any crafting. I can't believe it. I started college on the 25th March and it's taken up a lot of my time. I can't believe though that so much time has passed since I last crafted and my blog looks so bare. I'm going to be working on something really special in the coming days so will be sure to pop images up. Oh, also folks on Friday, Pattie of Pattie's Creations Design Challenge will be posting a new challenge so be sure to check out her blog and enjoy the fun. You'll find her blog HERE

Altered Clothes Hanger

Humming birds are such beautiful creatures. They symbolise the environment of life and lightness of being, joy and playfulness, as well as adaptability.

I remember as a child while on vacation in Orlando, seeing a Humming bird flutter over a flower in the Magic Kingdom. It's a memory that I've always loved and even more so since my father's passing. It brings so much peace to me. So when I saw that Pattie had a Humming bird in her Etsy store, I had to use it.

I then decided to alter a wooden hanger. I painted it white, then dabbed pale gold paint on it and left the hanger to dry. I coloured Pattie's image in using metalic, water colour and plain colouring pencils, affixed the image to the hanger and then tied fuscia ribbon around it before using those sweet little flowers that you see.

Steampunk Faux Leather

Here's another tag that I made using the faux leather technique. I've popped up a tutorial on this technique too.You'll find the tutorial under the Tutorial tab at the top of this blog. It's messy, fun and very straight forward to do. Be sure to leave a comment and link to your blog, if you try this out yourself.
