Craftaganza 2012 - Day 1

Have had the most awesome time ever at the Crafter's Companion Craftaganza which ran over 3 days! I'm totally exhausted!!! I know these aren't in date order but better late than never!

 

The first day was Thursday and the first class we had was with Claire Hamer and we used the amazing E-Bossers!!!!! We had to share which didn't go down well, we all wanted one each! LOL! We made this, totally love it and have it hanging in my "crafty area". We used the fabulous new Die'sire dies and quilling flowers.

 

Next class was with Sarah Millsop and we made a necklace and earring set, well nearly, I made half the necklace but promise to finish it, just took so long to get the hang of making loops, I was loopy by the time it ended!! LOL!!! But did manage the earrings!!!!

 

 

 

The last class of the day was with Sheena Douglass, what a laugh she is!!! and I made this!! Pretty impressed with myself I have to say.  We used Luminarte paints which were awesome! Added some stamps, embossed it, a bit of tearing and voi-la!!!!

 

 

Will be back with more!!!

Thanks for popping by!

Mark's Birthday!

Hi everyone, hope you are all okay and thanks so much for popping by!

 

Something different today!  It was my other half's birthday yesterday and he was 40!!!  I made him these 2 cards, one from me and one from my daughter, Ashleigh.  He likes my cards but just not his style so I used my Serif programme to make these!  Have to say when he opened them he was chuffed to bits and said you won't find these in a card shop! He even took a photo of them on his phone so he must of liked them.  Was so pleased as it took forever and a day to find the right images!!!!

 

The one from me!

His favourite group - Blink 182!

 

The one from Ashleigh!

One of his favourite cars from his favourite film - Smokey & The Bandit!

 

Thanks for popping by, love to read your comments!

 

 Will be putting up some Celebratory Blog Candy in my next post, just got to work out how to do Mister Linky as never done it before!!!!

Mulberry Wood - Birthday card for Aunty!

Hi Everyone, hope you are well! I'm still getting there, on a new tablet now called "Gabapentin"!!!

 

My card today is for my other halfs Aunty who lives in London, it's her birthday on Tuesday so need to get it off in the post tomorrow!!

 

I have used a stamp from the Mulberry Wood Everyday Range, it's called "Friend" but as you can see you can use it for other occasions and I have coloured him in using my Spectrum Noir Pens (of course)!  I have used Core'dinations and used an embossing folder, Petit Dot to give a different effect. I used backing paper from the Mulberry Wood CD for the card and insert. The die I have used is a Nestabilities called Eyelet Squares.  I have added some glitzy pink ribbon through the die which I thought gave a nice effect (not fully through mind you as didn't want to waste it!!). Next I added a sentiment from the same stamp plate and just cut freehand and layered up, coloured too with Speccies! Then a couple of punched flowers from my stash and added some pearls.

 

Spectrum Noir Colours Used:

Dog - TN2,3 & 4

Ears - EB2, 3 & 5

Flowers - PP3, 4 & 5

Daisy - IG2, Blender, GB5

Leaf & Stem - DG1, 2 & 3

Ground - IG1, 2, 5 & Blender

Around Image - IG1
