Polkadoodles Challenge #35 Anything Goes

Hello my dears,  I'm here to share my DT projects for our new 

 Anything Goes Challenge over  at

POLKADOODLES

The Design Team were challenged  to create something 

  Christmassy but NOT a card

Polkadoodles Craft Challenge

I decided to make a popcorn bucket with a lid and handle.  I also made a couple of pillow boxes to house some chocolates.   All my  papers, embellishments and tags are from the 

 Winnie from Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna Download 

All the elements have been printed out and adhered to 160gms card stock

then fussy cut and added to the boxes.  

I am going to be making lots more of these adorable Christmas boxes and

storing them away ready to add little extra goodies for friends and family.

Do please pop over and take a peek at the fabulous creations my lovely DT

buddies have made for you.  I look forward to seeing all your wonderful

creations over the coming week.  

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Crimbo Crackers: Anything Goes 

Time!!! To Celebrate!!

Hello my dear friends.  I'm here to share a card made with pieces of paper I had left over

from taking a class with the lovely Clare Charvill ( My Creative Spirit) last week!!

We worked on making a fabulous Album using the beautiful Graphic45 Imagine papers.

My album is complete but I'm waiting until my head cold andvoice heals before making a walk through video.  Hopefully it won't be long until I'm back to full health.

In the meantime here is the card using those leftover and snippet pieces of card.  I also

used The large G45 Tag and Atc tag set which includes these fabulous flower dies.

My Clock came from the Square Tag die set.  This has to be one of my most favourite

dies ever!! I'm going to be using these a lot more in my creations.

Here is a close up of that fabulous clock 

Thank you so much for popping in to visit with me, I hope you'll come back and see me soon.

In the meantime have a fabulous day.

1st Junk Journal + walk through video

Hello my dears,   I'm here today to share my first ever Junk Journal

I have a large box containing lots of snippets and off cuts of 

many Graphic45 collections I don't ever throw any of this precious

paper out.!!  I've now found a way to use them all up. 

I've made many mini albums and 1 travel journal but this album was way

out of my comfort zone.  I view quite a few walk through video's over on 

you tube but believe me watching and doing are two entirely different things. lol

Any ways I've completed the task I set myself and I'm quite pleased with the

result, although there is room for improvement and I've learned from the

mistakes I made, but hey ho!!! that's what crafting is all about isn't it.

Learning and progressing, trying new genre's and most of all having fun.!!!

here is a walk through video of how I created my first Junk Journal. 

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit, I do hope you enjoy it.

Simply Magnolia Challenge - Guest Designer

Hello my dears,  I'm here to share a card with you as a 
Guest Designer over at

Simply Magnolia

The theme is Glitter

I've merged these two sweet Tilda's.
Both have been coloured with copics and Derwent soft  pencils. I used
CC Floral Treats A3 card stock for my background paper and to make the
pretty flowers which were made with Graphic45 flower dies from the new
Large Tag and ATC die.

The cute Tilda on the left is called Fruit Salad and is
from the  Fruit Salad Collection 2018. The other Tilda is a special edition
stamp that was gifted to everyone who won a prize in the first Blog Hop 
of 2018.  I was fortunate to be one of those winners. 

Sentiment and matching die are from Tonic Studio. 

I used the pretty Papericious Crystal Clear glitter on my flowers.
