Something with wings and lace rrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Another wonderful Nellie Snellen image coloued with DIs and Cosmic Shimmer paints. Kraft card stock is by Papermania and paper is a Papercraft Mag freebie. The beautiful lace is by Kaiser crafts and card candy treasure is from Craftworks.

Really love these pirate images.

I am entering this in Bunny Zoe's Crafts Challenge Lace. Nicola gives great service as I got the images and lace from her and it arrived very quickly.

I think it also fits with Charisma Cardzt Challenge -things with wings ( parrot!).

Thanks for taking a peek. Go find a little inner pirate today! Xxx

Yo Ho Ho

This card is one for the boys - who doesn't want to be a pirate?

Love these Nellie Snellen images. I've gone with DIs for colouring and teamed him with card stock (cream&blue from DCWV and Kraft from Papermania). Card candy treasure is from Craftworks. Sentiment is a LOTV.

This is fitting for Karen's song theme over on craft bubble. Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum!

I am also entering this in Simon Says Stamp Challenge Father's Day/ For a Male - the DT creations are amazing!

Crochet jam jar Cover!

Not the most essential piece of kit but a project I completed on my newest journey in the craft world - teach yourself crochet - the jam jar Cover!



Pattern taken from Nicki Trench's book "Cute and Easy Crochet". I've added the button and beads and the crochet chain tie. It was very relaxing to make - slightly worries I could become obsessed and I'm not sure how many jam jar covers the world needs - lol. Must get back to the bigger project.

I had a lovely postal package this morning - my win from the ABC Christmas Challenge. I picked myself some lovely Basic Grey papers - Sweet Threads, some Claudine Hellmuth Matte Medium and a wonderful Bag-O-Buttons from Simon Says Stamp Shop. I have to say the papers and buttons are more gorgeous than I'd expected. For some of my crafty friends buttons are a precious bling which up until now I didn't really get. I DO NOW!



Any how I am off for a little bit of button stroking right now. Have yourselves a very pleasant Thursday. XXX

Liking the crochet vibe

Have been enjoying experimenting with a few different patterns so here are a few granny squares and flowers and a trial piece of a granny stripe.




Here is a project at the beginning - will show you as I progress - not sure how I will get on so we will see.



I've just treated myself to this lovely book with a token I had for my birthday - I keep them a while so I can have a treat later in the year - lol.


It's nice having something I can do anywhere. What do you all do that you can do wherever?

A Pink Fourth Pearly Birthday

One of LO's friends is Four today - Happy Birthday Hannah - and we are going to her party on Saturday. So here is Tilda celebrating with a pink balloon with a special Anita's Glitterations Four added.

I have used PMs to colour this lil' cutie. Papers are some lovely freebies from Mag. Flower is a Marianne D Die and other one is from a Sizzix one. The lovely Pearls are from Bunny Zoe's Crafts - and are lush.



The LO is Nicola's again from Craft Made & Loving it as it works well. I ripped the paper using a Papermania shaped ruler and the Kraft cardstock is also PMs.

I am entering this in the lovely I love PMs Challenge #67 Pearls. The work on display is amazing and the pearls are divine - so go and check it out.

Thanks for looking.

My first crochet Square

I've discovered a very gorgeous and creative blog written by an uber talented lady - it's called Attic 24 and it's written by Lucy. Do go for a browse and take a coffee as you will be there a while admiring her pics and crochet.

Lucy has many patterns and tutorials which she has created which are fab to follow. I fell in crochet love with her Summer Garden Granny Squares so I've had a go. Whilst it is no-where near Lucy's beautiful standards i am quite thrilled with it as it resembles what i was aiming at first time! A bit more prhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifactice and you never know I may make a blanket! The best bit is LO has wanted to have a go too, so has been happily playing with her own ball of yellow thread.

Off to town to buy her another colour as she has announced that she needs some pink - of course!

I've also just discovered I won the challenge over at the ABC Christmas Challenge - so thanks to Samantha and Helen and the team - what a great start to Wednesday. go and check out their new challenge - Kids with a Gift Holder. Catch you all later. XXX

Hanglar and Stanglar Dots.

I have a few little girl birthdays in June so I have to start early on these. The Lovely Hanglar Only Challenge #25 is dots. I thought this was perfect to get going. So here is a cute H&S girlie in a spotty-dotty dress amongst My Mind's Eye Dotty papers. She is coloured in using DIs.



I have used my newly acquired Marianne D flower Die and pearls (they only arrived this morning from the lovely nikki at Bunny Zoe's Craft!). The layout is one designed by Nicola (see post below)I liked it so much I thought I would use it again.



The swirl is a Sizzix die. I've added a little glitter with a clear Sakura pen. The papers were ripped using a shaped ruler by papermania and the card is Kraft cardstock by that Co too.

Do pop over to the Lovely Hanglar Only challenge as there is much to admire and dribble over if you like these cuties.

Thanks for stopping by. XXX
