Japanese Girl


Hiya, another piece of good news, I'm here this morning with my first post as DT for Creative Craft Cottage. 

Our theme is 'Eileen's Challenge - Anything Goes'. This is our special challenge dedicated to the original owner of this challenge blog who sadly passed away after a brave fight with Cancer. The DT have added a Lavender ribbon or bow to our projects as that is the general colour for Cancer. Please feel free to add this to your project, but this is not an entry requirement.

Sponsoring us is the fab Lemon Shortbread. Their image I'm using is the gorgeous Kimono Japanese Girl and here is what I created:-

Say it with Flowers ...

Hiya Crafty Friends, I'm here again with another piece of inspiration for you. This time for Crafty Addicts new challenge, that starts today. Kindly sponsoring us this month is Lacy Sunshine and I am using the gorgeous Rory's Lilacs, which is very apt for our optional theme of 'Say it with Flowers', but you can still follow our normal 'Anything Goes'. I really enjoyed creating this one, as I was able to use some of my new paper flowers that my son brought me back from his holiday in Florida (having been pointed in the direction of a Michael's store that was close to his hotel lol)  and with lilacs being one of my favourite flowers, but also my favourite colour too!!

Finishing off with die cut butterflies and adhesive jewels!...
