ATC storage box

Glad this idea got published in the new issue of the papercraft junkies mag as my made ATCs were littered everywhere as my ATC wall is full now of swaps lol... it's an ATC storage box made using 2 sheets of 12x12 cardstock... so i chose lime green for the base, didn't see the point in decorating the bit that no one would really ever see... and then a blue flower patterned piece for the lid and then i added some orange and yellow felt flowers to the lid as decoration... and there we have it a quick and easy way to keep my ATCs safe :)

Teenager card

This weeks Papertake Weekly challenge is to make a card for a teenager... so i've made a decoupage from a hard fairy image and then used a variety of pink peel offs and a piece of deep pink ribbon... this is really just an extension of the grungy work i've been doing tonight :)

Tilda Clock

Here's a little something that's been sitting half done on my desk for ages, i got as far as the backing paper and got bored lol. So tonight i decided to finish it.. i've taken a pre-coloured image of tilda in her raincoat, 3 felt flowers and 3 white gems.. ok so the hands are tad small but at least they stay out the way of the flowers which are raised. Think it's going to go up above my desk.. when i find a battery and a hook as he's hidden things again lol

Grungy Tilda

This weeks Tilda & Co challenge is 'Distressed Tilda' and how much did i enjoy this challenge! Not really done a lot of crafting since i started my new job but i thoroughly enjoyed this one as it's so me lol well how i was during college.. i've gone off the baggy jeans.. but the mad hair, music and some of the clothes and jewellery live on lol.... So i edited rough tilda slightly, i didn't bother inking the jumper patterns or her wings.. i added laces to the boots, patches to the trousers, patterns and studs to the jumper, black buterfly wings and red streaks in tilda's hair... The background paper has been scrunched up then inked ip, then a frame from the urban grunge kit stuck over the top and finally some silver ribbon across the top and bottom as it needed some sparkle to it :)

Linda's Candy

Linda over at Linanna designs is celebrating 1000hits with some blog candy so gave have a little looksie :)

Lots to do challenge- silhouettes

Here's my first piece of DT work for the lots to do challenge blog. This weeks challenge is silhouettes, so i've made an ATC using chequered blue paper, clear glitter hearts peel offs, white vine peel off and cut out shape of a couple... so go join in the challenge!

order finished :)

There we go that's it, all finished! Made the second pearl and hematite necklace for my order, similar to the previous but there's two different size oval beads used on this one. Then i made some little origami gift boxes and tied them with ribbon, so now they look like proper gifts :)

more bits n bobs

Just sharing a couple of other bits i've made tonight..

Jewellery order pt 1

So some of you may remember i made a pearl and hematite necklace (and bracelet) for a friend's daughter's 18th birthday... well she's been wearing it lots, even everywhere they went on holiday in new york... and now he has asked me to make 2 more of the necklaces, one for a friend and one for his mum lol... so i'm making them all slightly different so that no one has the same so can wear them at the same time without looking daft... so this one is pearls and hematite oval beads... now i just need my new batch of pearls to arrive so that i can make the second necklace..not sure what shape hematite to use as i've done ovals, stubs and hearts already.... any ideas?

Peel off classic car card

This weeks Daring Cardmakers challenge is to make a card using peel offs, this thursday challenge is opposites attract and the Dutch Dare challenge is to use designer paper, so i've combined the 3 challenges for this card.

I've used; cherry arte doodle designer paper ribbed white card, plain white card, happy birthday peel off and classic car peel offs from the papermill for the car, loves and dots around the edges. I'm actually quite pleased with this card now, i hated it when i started as peel offs aren't something i normally solely make a card from, where's my stamped images?! lol
