I had such fun making this Tag Clipboard.It's my entry for the challenge over in the UK&Ireland Swap group on Facebook. I've used my new papers and some stamps to make all the notes,journal tabs etc. Finally adding the key on a chain,ribbon and flowers.

Some Good News!

My very best friend Rosie and myself had talked many times about setting up our own challenge blog. Due to personal circumstances (bereavement) and other commitments, we never got around to creating our challenge blog....until now.

The challenges will run bi-weekly and there will be a winners prize for each challenge by one of our sponsors.
The first challenge which is "Anything Goes" is now up and running,so please pop over and have a look. You can also see the lovely work by our wonderful design team.

Thank you to   Zoe   and  Joanne  for this award

"Live"

My bestie gave me this "Wooden Word" last year and I hadn't got around to doing anything with it,until today.To my shame I'd forgotten all about it and I only found it today because I was looking for something else....shame on me. lol. Anyway, as you can see I've not done an awful lot with it, apart from colour it with ink and add the flowers and stick pin. I did lay some embellishments on some of the letters,but it looked too cluttered, so I've gone with the "less is more" look....

Use Red

Yay, I got to play with a brand new stamp today.It's an Andy Skinner stamp, from a set I bought on ebay. The set is Easter themed and I just fell in love with this Butterfly one. I've made this Atc for the challenge over at   http://funwithatcs.blogspot.co.uk/   The theme is to Use Red, so I coloured my atc using Firebrick Red ink.The background I stamped using 2 stamps from Visible Image, then stamped the butterfly on a separate piece of card and coloured it, using a damp brush and distress inks. After cutting the image out I added blue wire for the antennae before shaping the image and fixing it to the atc with a foam pad.

A little Bookmark

Here's a little Bookmark I made for the challenge over at Desmet Designs Weekly Challenge over on Facebook. I've used one of my new Kaiserkraft stamps for the image,then I re-stamped the label and the butterfly to add a layer,which was part of the theme.The other requirement was to add a charm, so I added one that actually came off one of my daughter's pieces of costume jewellery.

Stitching,Faux or Real

I thought I would pop these atcs on to my blog to share with you all.These are for the Atc Swap UK Group over on Facebook.For all of you that know me,you will know how much I love making atcs. The theme is "Stitching" faux or real. Mine as you see are faux, lol. I used one of my sewing style stamps from B.Line Designs, although all 5 atcs are the same, I have used different backing papers for highlighting the bodice, the label and postage mark. I've not shown them here,but I did also stamp the atc envelopes to match the theme.
