Hello folks!  Today I get to share some BRRRRilliant news that I’ve been sitting on for a wee while and am absolutely thrilled that the day has arrived that I can finally let it out.  I am honoured to announce that I have been picked by the ever-so-sweet Paulina at Pretty Pink Posh to join the new design team for the 10 minute Craft Dash Challenge!!!  Woo-hooo!!!  I am so happy and grateful to join this amazing team (check em all out HERE) – I am in such talented company.  If you haven’t played along with the 10 Minute Craft Dash before then you MUST check it out.  It does wonders for your mojo and can get your adrenaline pumping like nobody’s business!  It’s like Extreme Crafting!!

A new challenge is posted every fortnight but if you want to get a wee sneaky-peek at the latest challenge before it goes live on Paulina’s blog then make sure you pop over and “like” her Facebook page (just click on exclusives for the new challenge details).

Hey everyone – been a busy week here for me so haven’t crafted as much as I’d like!  Would love to not have to go to work!!!

I’ve made another little You Tube video for the 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge over at Pretty Pink Posh – this time the colours are pink, yellow and grey – gorgeous combination!

I went for the brightest pink I could think of – Neon Pink from Hero Arts along with Butter Bar and Smokey Shadow (Papertrey Ink).

Here is my video and the final card:

The sentiment I’ve chosen is totally wrong – I wish I had picked a more bold, solid font but hey ho!!!

Thanks for stopping by.  My weekend is going to consist of packing and loading the caravan ready for us to head off on Wednesday to the Glastonbury Festival!!  So excited about it – really hoping for no rain though, lol!!  Not sure sure what the chances of that are in England in the height of summer!!

Cheerio for now,

Hello!  I’m here with a card for the current 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge over at Pretty Pink Posh.  This is the first time I’ve played along but it was LOADS of fun and I can’t wait to do it again!!

I also thought it was a great time to make my first ever You Tube Video!  I have been pondering for a while about doing one and recently bought a sweet little pocket camcorder just for the purpose!  I love watching crafty videos on YT and have seen quite a few made for the Craft Dash challenge so this is what finally made me take the leap from thinking about it to doing it!

Here’s are the colours for the challenge :

And here is my video and the card I created :

As you can see I couldn’t resist adding the sequins – I guess that means I failed the challenge doesn’t it?  My 13 year old tech-expert son told me – I am a total “noob” (?) when it comes to this so hopefully with a bit of practice I will be able to offer a slightly more polished performance in future videos!!!  I won’t have my head in so much for one thing, lol!!

I am actually working on my next video already – a craft haul I got today from Simon Says Stamp!!

See you soon,
