A New Craft Dash Challenge – my first one as a DT member!!!

03.07.2013 by 5 Comments

Hello again folks – just popping in to share my card for the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge!  In case you missed it (ahem) I am lucky enough to have been chosen to join the new Craft Dash Design Team – yay!  Check out Paulina’s blog, Pretty Pink Posh to see the announcement and take a look at the other designers blogs – they’re FAB!

So the challenge this time is to feature “Stars” somewhere on your creation.  I have used a Hero Arts background stamp for my star element – can’t wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

Now as luck would have it my very first challenge as a new DT member just so happens to be sponsored by Clearly Besotted Stamps – my other beloved DT “gig”!!!  How fabulous is that?  It also coincides with the imminent July Release from CBS so I have managed to sneak in a little peak here at one of the AMAZING new stamp sets available on 6th July!

Please go and check out all the other DT’s blogs and also my fellow CBS teamies too!

As has been the case with the last couple of Craft Dashes that I’ve participated in I have also made  a wee You Tube video so if you fancy watching it here it is!!

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you feel inspired to go and check out the Craft Dash challenge – can’t wait to see you playing along.

Bug Hugs,

A Passion For Papertrey Challenge – Inspired

03.07.2013 by Leave a Comment

This week over at A Passion For Papertrey we want to see what inspires you!  Have you seen a photo on Pinterest or have something in your wardrobe that inspires you to create?  If so, get your crafty stuff together and see what you come up with!

I have just returned  from the Glastonbury Festival and if you can’t be inspired there you can’t be inspired anywhere!!!  There is colour and design everywhere you look, there is every kind of food you can imagine and obviously there’s the music!

The thing I will remember most is the colours – the whole site is festooned in flags, banners, ribbons, feathers, sparkly things……  it’s amazing.  My card is a take on the HUGE letters that spell out Glastonbury on the hill over looking the festival and I’ve chosen the brightest and boldest inks I could lay my hands on!!

inspired by Glastonbury Hope you can pop on by the blog to see the fabulous cards Kate and Aimes have come up with this time and maybe join in the fun too?

Thanks for stopping by,
