I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books.

3D Flowers at Come and Get It Challenges

This is my last week on the guest design team at Come and Get it Challenges. I cannot believe 6 months have gone by. I have enjoyed the challenge, meet some wonderful people and have learnt a lot about challenge blogs. Cindy, Leslie, Shell and Julie have very dedicated to making sure the Come and Get It is successful. I had not realized how many hours are put in to running a challenge blog . Thank you for inviting Meighan and I to join you.


The challenge this week is 3D flowers and I chose to make an easel card to showcase my flowers. I used Tim Holt’s Tattered Flower die cut to make the flowers and once I had them assembled I wet them with water and crinkled them to give them some shape.

The rubber stamp I used is by Kanban Rubber Stamps and after I had coloured the image I used a silver glitter pen to give her some sparkle. 
Come join us at Come and get it Challenges this week.  Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting.

Red, Black and khaki – Party Time Tuesday Challenge # 56


I am back from holidays and ready to do some creating.  This colour/photo challenge is all about the colours red, black and khaki or cream. I chose to use this elegant lady rubber stamp by Kanban Stamps from England.  I just love their designs.  I coloured the image with my Copics and red glitter pen and layered the card with dye cut papers in the colour theme of the challenge, then added some bows and bling.  My bows had white pearls on them so I painted the pearls with red glitter to complete the colour theme of the challenge.
Come join the fun at Party Time Tuesday’s challenges.
Thanks for stopping by.  Now back to my craft room to so some more creating.
