Hi everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Starting the new year with a new challenge

at Crafty Calenders! The theme is "Something New." As always you can make

anything you want but it must fit the theme. We're lucky enough to have 2 sponsors

For this challenge, I started by using a new technique using

shaving foam! Shaving foam, a few drops of ink swirled together makes the

best marble effect!  I found this technique from one of my mums craft

magazines and I was so happy with the results! That's my something new...a new technique

Sparkle, Bling and Embellish with Crafty Calendars!

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone! How're you? Today is a new challenge over at Crafty Calendars  

and the theme is "Sparkle, Bling and Embellish" This challenge is

sponsored by Brenda's Lace and Ribbons specials with an amazing prize

of a goody bag!

For this challenge I decided to make a canvas for my room. I took

a blank mini canvas and sprayed it with Orange&Yellow dylusions.

To add some sparkle, while the canvas was still wet, I sprinkled the canvas

with some glitter. I then die-cut a load of different sized butterfly's 

and put some Tim Holtz words and finished it off with some gems.

The other girls have made some amazing creations so remember to go

over to the challenge blog to see them!

 

Thanks for visiting my blog today, I'll see you soon!

Halloween with Crafty Calenders!

Hey everyone! Today there's a new challenge over at Crafty Calenders

and the theme is HALLOWEEN! I love any thing Halloween so I loved

this theme! For this theme I made some mummy ATC'S, I started

by cutting some black card down to the right size and then I ripped some

paper and inked the edges, some with black and some with light brown.

I then found some googly eyes. These were actually really easy to make and

I love them, I think they look awesome! The sponsor is Di's Digis

Summer Challene #10 & #11

 

 

Hi everyone! Are you alright? Today, I'm sharing my Summer challenges #10 & #11 which is "Watch and review a Christmas movie" and "Watch and review another Christmas movie" I love watching Christmas movies because it makes me feel really festive and in the Christmas mood! The movies I watched are "I'll be home for Christmas" and "Winter Wonderland."

 

 I'll be home for Christmas is such a good film and it made me feel so Christmassy! It's about a boy named Jake and he's really spoiled and always finds an excuse to stay at his boarding school rather than go home for Christmas. Then when his dad offers him the family Porsche if he comes home by Christmas eve, he rushes to get home but then some kids that he's been mean to before, puts him into a Santa costume, glues his beard and hat onto his head and stranded him in the middle of a desert. He tries everything to get home but things keep getting in they way but then eventually he gets home for Christmas and learns that not everything is about the presents.

 

Winter Wonderland is the first Christmas film that I watched this year and I will probably watch it again because I really like it! It's about a family who goes Christmas shopping and the dad leaves his 2 sons to look after his daughter Mary. The oldest son laves them waiting in line to see Santa. After seeing Santa, they go around looking in shops and they find a bag of money and lots of it! They decide to spend most of it and then give the rest of their dad. The money turns out to be fake and the owners REALLY want the money back!

my first challenge with them, the theme is anything goes. The sponsor is

Summer Challenge #9

 

 

Hi everyone, are you alright? It's the first of September

already! I don't go back to school until the 10th so I'm trying

to get in as much crafty time as possible! Today I'm sharing

Summer Challenge #9 I'm already half way done with my

challenges! Challenge #9 is "Decorate a mug". I love everything

Paris and for this mug I used a paris skyline die, die-cut it in

paper, stuck it onto the mug and drew round it with a fine liner. I

filled it in with a sharpie and wrote Paris with a love heart. I baked it in

 the oven for half and hour and then once it was cooled down, I went

over it again. This was so easy to make and I love the fact that you can

decorate it however you want and make it your own. I'll definitely

be doing some more of these!

 

Thanks for visiting my blog and I'll see you soon!
