Some Design Team CHRISTMAS InspirationFor 2Crafty Chipboard

Hi there 2Crafty fans, thanks for stopping by.

Today I have my first Christmas creation for the year to share with you.

A lovely "off the page" piece that you could either hang or sit on a shelf.

As my base I have used one of the NEW 2Crafty  10" "Decorative Panels.

This particular one is their 10" Flourish Star.

I have also used lots of other Christmas themed chipboard pieces

from 2Crafty Chipboard, including these gorgeous reindeer,

title, stars & even some of their holly chipboard pieces too.

Lots of flowers, Christmas berries & a big red spotty bow,

some little mini pinecones & finished off with lots of gold sequins.

So there you have it, my first Christmas creation for the 

season, completed. I hope I have inspired you to perhaps

do something similar.

Until next time...

Guest Designing For Splashy Mix Challenge"Little Angel"

Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by the blog today.

I was invited by Shylaa Shree, the owner of 

"Splashy Mix Challenges"

to be a Guest Designer for them this month.

Splashy Mix Challenges October Challenge

I wanted to share with you this layout I created for them in this

glorious gold & white colour palette.

I have to say this was pretty easy as I just adore gold & white together.

I used a beautiful paper from A.B.Sudios & some gorgeous chipboard from 2Crafty.

A little mixed media & some fabulous gold flowers from "Little Birdie".

 Some yummy layers and lots of bling.

I hope I have inspired you to perhaps play along with their challenge

as they also have some great prizes on off too.

Well thats all from me today.

Until next time...

My "More Than Words" ChallengeOctober Design Team Reveal"Escape" Into Fantasy !!

 Hello there, thanks for stopping by the blog today.

Well the beginning of the month brings us a NEW challenge over on the

More Than Words Challenge blog.

The October challenge ….

So this months challenge is to use a black background 

& to be inspired by some sort of costume!!!

I found this fabulous photo on the internet, with the most 

amazing headdress & I just knew it would be perfect for this challenge

& so I have created a real "FANTASY" layout.

 I have created a lovely mixed media background which I knew

would really POP on the black.

 Lots of mediums & some fabulous Lindy's Gang spray.

Some awesome 2Crafty Chipboard pieces which I have heat embossed in gold.

I think the "HERO" piece on  my layout would have to be these gorgeous

brass metal wings !!! I have been dying to use them.

I think the other "HERO" piece on my layout are these fabulous,

super old, Prima resin type flowers with gold trim. 

I have had them in my stash for about eight years & I was always waiting

 for just the right thing to use them on!! Well this was it & I couldn't be

happier with how they look.

Well there is my take on this months MTW challenge.

Black with lots of sprakle, shimmer & glitter.

I hope you can play along with us too.

Until next time....
