Clearance Sale

Want a bargain?

Scrapbooking Allsorts are having a Clearance Sale.

Hi, it's time for some more inspiration for the current Fashionista challenge, which has a Shabby Chic theme. My DT creation is this mail box which was a lot of fun and given more time would probably added a lot more embellishing. I can't believe I hadn't even used a butterfly. That's not like me at all!

Valentine Magic Card

Hi, it's rather late so I will have to keep it short and hopefully add some more photos of my magic card during the week. I have stamped and coloured 'Valentino' from Magnolia and added the love text stamp in the background. Simply Magnolia has a new challenge theme of Vintage Valentine and due to a lack of time I've kept my embellishing quite simple.

I did have time to airbrush the background with Copics W7, E42, R39 and top it off with some shabby white frantage.

Anyone for Icecream?

I know many of you are experiencing cold weather around the world, while it's been extremely hot here in Australia this last week, at the very least where I am we had 4 days in a row over 40 degrees Celsius (104F). I would usually of made the most of it in a cool place crafting away but even that was hard to do. As it is now much cooler so I have created this card for the 'Anything Goes' Fashionista Challenge and ironically I have used a Summer theme.

I have masked two stamps, Tilda with Cherry Ice and Time for Icecream.

Christmas Bling at Fashionista

Today I have a little something for Christmas to share.

I created this tree by first making a cone out of paper, then after giving the cuttlebug a good workout, I have covered the cone with one of Magnolia's leaf die cuts and tiny flowers and finished decorating it with some handmade bows, bling and shabby white distress stain on the leaves. The star is a stick pin, I have so many of these I was pleased to get to use it. Tilda has been coloured with copics.

The Fashionista Challenge blog's new challenge is 'Christmas Bling'

I was going to make a box to sit it all on, but opted instead to create a display box instead.

The top is decorated with Magnolia red and white berries, white cherry blossoms and a Prima Shabby Chic resin treasure. (the heart and scroll)

Off to School

Hi, my project today is a little backpack created as a gift bag to hold some pencils, erasers, etc. You can see the template HERE. I made mine a little taller to fit in the pencils and it makes a cute gift for someone starting school. This ties in with Simply Magnolia's newest challenge, which is to create a bag and decorate it.
