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,

10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge #20

22.06.2013 by 4 Comments

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,

Caryn xxx
