A card a layout and a freebee

Busy busy busy, but I have managed to set aside some time to do a little post and make a little freebee for you all.

Well I'm hosting the Design House Digital 4 Play challenge today. Available Uk 24 hour clock 12.00 and USS 6.00. You can buy all 4 of the kits I used for the grand total of $3.00 on the 22nd April Only  

I had to pick 4 kits from DHD to play with, well thats a really hard job as there are loads of great kits to play with. 

I picked some lovely Mattes by Vanessa Fenton and some amazing papers by Mary Moseley to start with as they were both kits I love and had already decided I wanted to use, but I decided to challenge myself and pick a template as I hardly ever use one. The one I chose is by Tisha Chestnut and I think it offers loads of scope for playing with. The last kit I chose was by Kristin Damon and has some stitches in that I really liked and papers and a journalling block that  I thought would work well with my other choices. I avoided picking embellishment kits as I tend to use a lot of embellishments.

Anyway here is the layout that I made from the kits. Couldn't help myself and cut out one of the flowers from the background paper to make the flower embellishments, 

I also made this card using the same template and kits,

 I think you could give this card to either a man or a woman and its gone into my emergency I'm an idiot card stash , for those times when time just gets away from you and the next thing you know its .......s birthday tommorow and you need to get the card in the post.

Anyway if you want to play along with the challenge or just buy one or two of the kits you can find out more on the 4play blog post

So as promised here is my freebee. Hope some of you find it ueful

you can download this freebee paper here

So that's it for me for today

BYEE for now

Hi all well the weather here in the UK is GREY and more GREY, but fortunately for us crafters we can put colour back into our day by playing with paper whether that is paper or digital papers. So here are a couple of projects that I have played with over the last few days.

1st is a slider card that I have made for a tutorial on the Design House Digital Blog I hope you like it

I love these sliders they are great for cards and also a great way to hide journalling. If you would like to learn how to make this card, or how to make your own sliders or want to find out about the lovely digital papers I have used you can go to the Design House Digital Hybrid Tutorial.

At the weekend My husband daughter and grandson Oh and me too went to Catalyst Science Museum in Widnes. We had a lovely time. Whilst there my grandson had a lolly and I just had to do a layout as soon as I came home.

I used 4 kits from Design House digital they are Noted doodle stamps I love these stamps they are so useful and great for all sorts of layouts.  I used Vanity Fair Grunge squares  on either side of the layout, these are so adaptable. The papers used were from  Baby Boy Papers and finally I just had to use the  Sweet Shoppe Embellishment kit it was perfect for this layout.

So that's it for today hope you have a fantastic day.

Thursday and Its This Thursday its all about.... Fresh 1st Challenge

Wow its been so exciting working on the new challenge, and its finally here. Our 1st challenge is fresh . It can be fresh techniques, fresh products . the word or whatever else fresh brings to mind I love my design team mates work and here is mine. As you can see I got a bit carried away and have made loads of stuff, to see my other peices , design team examples and some free downloads as well go to

http://www.thisthursday.wordpress.com/




This is my 1st Fimo plaque I made some fake malacite for the base, I will be doing a tutorial for Fake malacite and other fimo techniques on This Thursday at a later date . I ran my fimo through a pasta maker to condition it and also to get a consistant thickness. I also used Liquid fimo to which I added a tiny spot of alcohol ink to tint it to create the blue and green tinted glazes. This is put onto the Plaque after the oven and then cured with a normal heat gun I inked around the edge of the white plaque with one of the colorbox queue Rain Forest ink pad which is part of the great prize supplied by Craft 4 Creation all my examples use the queue ink pads except the Digi layout

This is a daisy pyramage There is a round version of the pyramage sheet available for download free on This Thursdays freebee page and an equivelant GSD file for all craft robo users
This card I directed tapped the ink pads onto a cuttlebug embossing folder. Then embossed onto white card. The I inked over the raised pattern with black ink. then cut out the two main shapes. Then punched two circles. I used the corners as added detail on the card. Oh and of course added the fresh as a daisy
This Digi Lo I wanted to find out if I could paper peice digitally this is my 1st attempt. I used the word and the defintiton for Fresh

There are a couple more examples on the challenge including a clipboard with Inked Grungeboard letters oh and a project using Cuttlebug embossing .

Well thats This thursdays, 1st challenge can't wait to see your examples, and I am hoping to catch up with some challenges that i have missed over the last week
