Stars! #VisibleImage

Morning all!

So i'm here this morning to shout about a brand new challenge over at That Craft Place!

This week's challenge is

STARS!

Up to quite recently i've had a major issue with a lack of embellishments so i errrr went a bit mad, and stars.... well they were included! I was to originally use a different stamp set for my design team work today but i've misplaced it, it's somewhere in my craft-rooms honestly! grrr... so whilst i was at the NEC i popped by the lovely Visible Image stand (who are our sponsor this fortnight!) and said hello to the lovely Mark & Helen! Whilst i was there i brought the lovely Molly Rules stamp set (wiiiiissssh i brought more now i love how crisp these stamps stamp out) they're defo on my list for next stamps to buy! 

So what did i create this week?

Well... i've been inundated with Christmas things the last few weeks so i thought i'd actually make myself something for a change haha!

And dug out the STARS!

I also wanted to enter my project into this month's challenge over at Visible Image which is ''Make it sparkle''

I created a T-Bar Star Dangle Bracelet totally from scratch toooooook me absolutely hours and my finger tips are still sore a day later! And I absolutely love how it turned out! (never wanna take it off) haha! I've been inundated with requests to make more!! eeeekkk! my poor fingers haha!

I Stamped out the Molly Rules Stamps onto Frosted Shrinkles and coloured them in with Promarkers and flexmarkers before carefully trimming round them and punching a hole to create the charms which are soooo darn cute! I added some sparkle dusts to the one side of the charms just to give it a little more sparkle hehe! 

So here's my finished Bracelet!

Advent!

Hey All!

I'm back with a mammoth of a project today!
Which can be found in the Die Cut Crazy Magazine Special Subscription only issue of our Christmas edition out soon!

So with my hubby convinced that he should onnnnnly have  a One direction advent calendar (you've got more chance of me having a spice girls one) haha! With the holidays coming around so soon and the countdown to Christmas beginning soon what a fun and festive way to celebrate than to make your own advent calendar filled with your favourite goodies! I’ve been toying with the idea for years and this year I’ve made it my mission to finally complete that project (and munch on a few extra chocolates along the way!). Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with the traditional chocolate advent calendars but I thought how cool would it be to make something I could keep and use year after year and fill each box with something I like to treat myself through-out the month of December!

Completely made from scratch using card stock! and my cameo ;)
And after wrestling with card stock glue and sticking myself to everything bar the actual project after 3 hours i completed it!!! AND I LOVE IT! I'd like to enter my project to the following challenges

Cute Card Thursday  - #296 Anything but a Card

Fab 'n' Funky- #194  Anything Goes
Paper Shelter Challenge  - #138 Christmas

Penny's Paper-Crafty - #154 Anything goes

I love the simpleness of it and it's something i can keep and use over and over in christmas's to come!

I’d purchased the Cutting file for the advent calendar from the Silhouette Store via my cameo, a bargain of only $0.99! And Lori Whitlock’s video tutorial helps no end with the instructions of how to put it together! Which I thoroughly recommend! I changed the design by mixing the colours of the boxes instead of all white to make it more my own, and used the beautiful papers from Echo park along with some white die cut numbers also cut out via my cameo and finished it with some matching sparkly gems!
Each square is a box that comes out.....



Which can be filled with your favorite treats! I must admit i grossly under estimated how much a box holds so i need to go shopping for chocolate again! (haha) At the moment mine has Lindor Chocolates but there is so much more room in there I’m sure more sweets will be filled in there soon!

But i guess they'd be fab for kids, or anyone really you could fill these cute boxes with a present a day! beats the boring naff chocs in a normal advent calender I guess and now.... my hubby really does want one and nope!!! HE'S Stuck with with One Direction one haha!!!!

Twinkle twinkle...

Afternoon all!

Apologies for the late post, Christmas season is in full swing at work so i'm extra knackered and need lots of snoozes, not that i can sleep any better with it being so busy, i've come to the conclusion after nearly 6 years of night work i'm never going to get into a pattern unless i curl up and die haha!

anyways! i'm here to tell y'all about a new challenge over at That Craft Place!

this fortnight it's all about SENTIMENTS!
I must admit this isn't something i do! The idea of this challenge is that your sentiment be the focal point of your project, i'm feeling a little blah about my design work this week as it was sooooo out of the box for me! 

but here's what i came up with....

* DSP -  My Minds eye

*Sentiment - Cut out on my cameo

*Embellishments  - Flowers - Prima, Stars - Ebay, Dew drops - robin's nest, Buttons - stash, star die cuts - cameo
