IACW Guest Designer

I was asked to be a guest designer on Its a Creative World . I had to make something with the theme of 'Acheivement'in mind. I thought i'ld start my Art Journal it's not the best thing in the world but it's my first attempt in creating a Art Journal and hopefully I'll grow and grow !

Some of the DT have made great examples too ranging from paper to Digi to Fabric. These Ladies are sooooo Inspirational and theres something New every day !!!!
Check them out & my step by step instructions are there too x

Flower Embellishment

Afternoon xxx
I have published a Embellishment I made for Fiskarettes made with Fiskars Squeeze punches Circles X.L & Large. You'll need 8 Large Circles punched with the Large Circle Squeeze punch. One XL Circle punched with the XL Circle Squeeze punch, Some stick on gems, Glue dots, Ink (opt).

Pinch 7 of the smaller circles as I have done in the photo below…



Then fold back edges in the next photo below….



Next I’ve glued the petals around the base of the XL Circle (this just makes it easier to pick up and glue onto your project) forming a ring of petals. You will need lots of glue dots the big juicy ones are better seeing the petals are not flat.

Glue gems or pearls onto the last Circle (ink edges if wanted) Add lots of glue dots to the back and place onto the flower. Take the off cuts of the punch and roll round like a tight swiss roll….unravel a little and glue behind the flower.

Hope you like xxxx
This is what i've made with it too .....

STILL TIME TO ENTER DT CALL

Hiya There's still time to enter the DT call over at Fiskarettes :) Check out the full details at www.fiskarettes.co.uk its for 3 months and you will get lovely tools to play with....go on what have you got to loose ?

Our NEW Twilight Crop & Craft.

We are really excited about our first ever crop and hope that it is an enjoyable friendly place to come and laugh,chat & be inspired and more importantly scrap on a evening. The crop is on Wed 19th MAY ~ 6.30 - 10pm at Olveston School.(outskirts of Bristol)It will be £5 for the crop , classes are extra. Light Refreshments available.

We will have a class at our first crop, Taught by by myself and we will also will be asking you to fill in a questionnaire to ask you what you would like to see at an evening crop in the future.

We will have a small selection of 12 by 12" papers and some card stock but we are thinking about having a shop in the future if it is viable.

As one persons 'junk' is often another person's 'treasure', if you have any scrapping supplies you would like to sell, please make sure it is clearly labelled with the price you would like and your name. Joy will be running the second hand table for the first half hour of the crop.

We are hoping to open the gates at 6.30 on the dot, as the school have informed me they have an after school club and need to ensure every child is off the premises before we open up the playground for parking. Please do not drive in the playground before 6:30 (there are places to wait in the layby outside if you are early.

See you very soon.

Debbie, Jayne, and Joy. x

Circle Maaaaaad

Here's a simple layout I've created using Circles cut with a Fiskars XL Squeeze circle punch...I just love the 3D effect. Probably add Journaling to this at a later date :)

Modscraps Challenge

There's a Sketch Challenge over at Modscraps HERE
I have created this layout (sorry about the photo it was a bit rushed and the lighting isn't great) There were 4 photos used in the Challenge but I'm a use one photo lady !!! So I chopped up a photo in the end !

Rag Doll finally finished :)

Here's a little doll I made with a kit I bought. I say I made it but I did have lots of help from Lynne a friend because the instructions were awful & I am not a sewer! still think she needs a mouth. she's got beads in her bottom lol but that gives her a bit of weight. I had to sew a little cotton bag to put them in as we decided they might come out of the felt seams.

A what I called 1 hour project took all day :) But she's cute & my 4 yr old loves her (thankgoodness) :D
