Sister's of Craft - New 'Anything Goes' Challenge

Good Morning Crafty Peeps, how are you all? I hope you are enjoying what's left of our Summer, if you can call it that now! Well if you are looking for something to do, then why not come and join us over at the Sister's of Craft, where on the first of every month we have an 'Anything Goes' 'All of the Time' challenge. So that means you can use any style, design, colour, layout, products, craft and project. It's as simple as that!!! Our Sponsor this month is:-

Scrappers Delights

The Winner will receive 3 digis

So on to my DT sample for some inspiration.....here is what I have created...using Crafty Honeys Shopper.

My Sample 

I coloured in image using Promarkers, Almond, Blush, Vanilla, Tan, Gold, Lemon, Rose Pink, Baby Pink, Pink Carnation, Cerise, Antique Pink, Moss Green, Bright Green, Leaf Green, Cool Aqua, China Blue and Orchid. I cut out image and placed on top of Creata patterned mirror card, die cut using Spellbinders decorative labels 8. For the base I have used a Creata white scalloped card blank, topped it with Creata mirror card and then I embossed Creata silky card with Cuttlebug Swirls folder and cut in to 4 equal squares and placed as shown.....I made up flowers using Creative Expression Delicate Daisies dies by Sue Wilson and felt that I had in my stash and finished with brads too. I added flourishes using Joycraft dies and glitter paper from my stash, finishing off with pearls and gems.

Close Ups 

I hope this inspires you to come on over and join in the fun with my "Sister's" and myself. Remember 'Anything Goes' there's no restrictions on what you create to enter!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave such lovely comments.

Lavender Blue Dilly Dilly....

Hiya Folks

Sorry not been on for a wee while, have been away on holiday for a week and a bit. Had a lovely break, just what I/We needed, with my Hubby and youngest Son down in Lincolnshire and had a wee tour round parts of Norfolk too, where my family come from. Managed to go and visit the Norfolk Lavender Centre in Heacham again.....What a lovely place, love going there. The gorgeous lavender was blooming in abundance. We even managed to be there on the first harvest day of the year! Here are a couple of pics!!

On our way back we stopped off to see how my Father-in-law was doing, he has been moved in to a care home/ rehabilitation centre. He's getting over his operations but is still very frail and showing signs of confussion. He has been going through more tests. It has been a hard time for us all. Will update more when I can!
