From Trash to Treasure.....

Good morning all, hope you have had a fab weekend, mine has been spent sleeping on and off, feeling sooo tired and 'pooped'....Still can't shake this infection off yet...hopefully soon!!!

Well since this is supposed to be 'Blue Monday'.....why not cheer yourself up and pop over to Creata Challenge for our new Upcycle 'From Trash to Treasure' challenge ....

To give you a little inspiration, I decided to re-do an old pen holder and covered it using Creata 12x12 backing paper. I used Joy Craft Banner die, Alphabet die, Flowers and Flourishes dies and Butterfly die. Other papers used were backing paper card and mirror board and to finish off I used Creata peel offs and resin flowers, brads and gems from my stash!

Girl's Love To Shop....

Good morning all, hope you have had a wonderful weekend.....Mine was spent catching up with family, which was fun! Can't believe we are back to Monday again, where are the weeks going?!

Well since it's Monday and two weeks have passed, it must be that time again.....yes it's time for our new My Besties UK challenge...... This weeks theme is Girls Love To Shop!

For my sample this week I have used the image 162 by Sherri Baldy, which you can purchase here. I coloured the image using Promarkers, Almond, Blush, Cerise, Turquoise, Blossom, Baby Pink, Powder Blue, Meadow Green, Sandstone, Lavender and Honeycomb. I cut out image using Spellbinders Label eight and mounted on to Creata metalic card, die cut using decorative label eight. I have used Creata backing paper, mirror and backing paper card as my background. To finish off, I used flowers, resin flowers, lace ribbon and gems from my stash. I added Joy Craft die cut flourishes from Creata backing paper card and for my sentiment, I printed and topped on Creata backing paper card. And finally I added a bit of sparkle using Ranger Stickle diamond glitter glue and Creative Expressions enchanted gold guilding wax. So for your inspiration here is my sample...

Craftitude New Challenge.....

Good morning Folks, how are we all today, ..... I must admit I've been feeling pretty awful, have had a sinus headache for a couple or so days now and it's driving me madder than normal!!!

Anyway we have a new Anything Goes/Ribbons and Pearls challenge starting over at Craftitude, so why not come and play with us, there are fab prizes up for grabs!!

To give you some inspiration here is my sample. I have used the digi image Belle Pin Up by Sassy Studios, which you can purchase here.
A bit of an homage to my son, who played Lumiere in his school show before Christmas!! Well done Daniel!!

My Sample

Close Ups

I coloured in stamp using my Promarkers, Canary Yellow, Mustard, Tan, Sandstone, Almond, Blush, Antique Pink and China Blue. My background, I used an image from the internet and placed this on to Creata mirror card, along with the Lumiere image too. The rose image I had in my stash.....for the sentiment, I printed the verse on to white card, added a couple of music note peel-offs and mounted also on to Creata mirror card. To finish off I added a bow/charm and gems from my stash. I added some Stickles Frosted Lace glitter glue to the rose and some Diamond to Belle's dress and also to highlight Lumiere's flames!

Hope this has given you some inspiration to follow, hopefully you will be able to join us at Craftitude, would love to see what you create!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments!!
