Monochrome Allice in Wonderland Card.

Hi everyone!
I finally got round to making an Alice in Wonderland theme card that I have been asked to make:

This card did not go to the original plan! (to say the least) I planned to do fun bright colours- but ended up going vintagy with browns and creams--Do not ask me how that happened!!
It was for a lady's 30th Birthday so I didn't want to make it too kiddish, but more elegant -- hopefully I succeeded!
Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolor Effect Background card

I decided to do a card using Tim Holtz distress inks to create a watercolor effect background-  

they are perfect for this technique! 

I decided to watercolor the image too..

I like the background as it looks like clouds on a rainy day. I do love this technique, but its impossible to duplicate.. Every single background is different!

Thanks for stopping by!

Party Time Tuesdays- First ever sneak peek!!

Hello!!
Thanks for coming by...
This time for Party Time Tuesdays I created a Magnolia Tilda card:

Love this image!! I used a doily underneath the image along with Wild Orchid Craft flowers (my favourite!)

A special tip-- I like to put cheesecloth behind my images sometimes to create texture and dimension. It adds a really delicate, girly effect. 

I also like to add home-made enamel dots with my flower clusters (I made these dots by melting colourful perler beads in the oven!)

Roses Tag

Hi All!!
Have not made a tag for AGES-- but was cruising through the Tag Tuesday Blog and got inspired by everyone's wonderful creations!

Tried to go a bit vintage, which I don't usually do very well.. But I love roses and have many in my stash, so that part was easy ;) I find I have a lot more fun creating tags like this when I don't worry so much about getting everything "perfect."... Sometimes I forget that crafting supposed to be fun, not stressful. 

Thanks for looking!!

Fun projects with Amy Tangerine

Here are a few cards I whipped up yesterday using the Amy Tangerine "Hey There" collection.. I adore these papers, the colours and designs are so bright and fun...

 Also made some fun mixed media coasters.. I'm a little addicted to crackle painting-- I love adding different layers and textures and enjoy mixed media- because there's no such thing as mistakes!

Steampunk Tag

I have never attempted steampunk before, but thought I'd give it a go! I am in a swap and made this tag:

I don't know if it really qualifies as steampunk, but I am still quite happy with it... It was hard to find things in my stash to use, I don't own any steampunk images or gears, etc... Anyway, hope my partner like it.
Thanks for looking :)

Some Recent Projects

Hey All!
I have been getting involved in some swaps online recently.. so thought I'd share some projects:
This is for a postcard swap on Facebook...

These are for an altered domino swap on Lil Scrap of heaven..

Swaps are a great motivator, because you know you HAVE to get it done, no excuses.. Haven't received any swaps back as of yet- but there's a few on the way... Its great receiving surprises in the mail!

TAG TUESDAY- "Proverbs"

Just whipped this tag together for TAG TUESDAY...This weeks challenge was proverbs... There were so many nice sayings to choose from, but decided on this one...

This proverb is so true!! I had no #8 shipping tags left, so I cut tags from manila folders...pretty much exactly the same...This works out alot cheaper too...at my local scrapbook store tags are $9 for 20...Manila folders are only a couple of dollars and make plenty :)...Gotta love a bargain!

My first domino book!

I made a domino book for a swap on "The Craft Hole" on Facebook... It was heaps of fun to make!

A added a loop at the top so it could also hang on the tree as a decoration... As it was my first one it was a little time consuming... But hopefully the next one won't take as long. I really like how it turned out...

BLOG HOP- Rock your Style!!!

Hello ALL!
365 Cards is hosting a blog hop this week! If you comment on all designers posts you have the chance to win fantastic prizes- Its as easy as that...
This is my "Clean and Simple" paper bag card that represents my style:

                 
A decorated peg holds the bag card together....
I LOVE paper bag cards because there is no wasted space... Space for a tag/gift card and a greeting and small gift in the "bag part" of the card... I love using pinks, black and white together too.

I encourage everyone to have a go at creating a paper bag card, it is so simple and effective. There are plenty of Youtube videos out there that show you how its done. There are so many ways and different sizing, depending on the size bags you use. This is the tutorial video I followed:

Thank you so much for stopping by!!! Feel free to look around and follow me!! :-)
