Crafty Secrets is our sponsor this week. Boy oh boy did I have fun playing around with so many goodies. I just adore Crafty Secrets products. I used the "Material Girl" stamp set and Creating with Vintage Illustrations CD 2. Tons of great goodies to use! You could win a $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE to buy your own goodies!

I chose to make a crafty pocket. SO inspired by Cherry's creations.... The inspiration photo made me think of girly girl goodness and fit perfectly with the Material Girl stamps.

Love the dress form stamp.The ruler border banner is from CD #2..

Heat embossed sewing machine. so many great stamps in this little set!

Great patterened papers to print out. I had so much fun playing with these goodies. So join us and have a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Crafty secrets!

you're invited...TSTR #121

You're invited! To the newest challenge at The Shabby Tea Room, that is. I'm your host this week and I ask that you MAKE AN INVITATION based on the inspiration photo. Time to let your imagination run wild!

Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps. Our winner will receive 5 digital images of their choice! I used the teapot image this week for my project:)

My invitation is for a tea party.. and whenever I think of tea parties I think of one of my favourite stories, Through the Looking Glass and have to include a clock...

 I made a pocket for my invite to slip into.

I shrunk the teapot image.. love the mini teapots all in a line:)

I hope you will accept our invitation and play along with us this week!
Don`t forget to visit our Shabby Team for some more inspiration!

time flies...

Goodbye May, you came and went far too quickly..

Goodbye spring, you were short and fleeting...

Goodbye brown-in between-season that we get here in our little town...

Hello June, half way through already...

Hello green foliage, it's about time we see you again...

Hello yard work, fresh cut grass, flowers sprouting and blooming.

Hello rising temperatures...

Hello sunshine...

Time certainly has been passing quickly around here.. I lost a month somewhere in between my birthday and now.. I've been keeping busy with a few orders here and there for some special people.. this is my first non design team post in a while! (Not going to lie, was a little bit disenchanted with posting other than for my weekly Shabby Tea Room challenges.. )Time to shake out the cobwebs and get right back into it!.  Just a quick little post today to get in on the challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog. We are asked to use a clock somewhere on our project. I layered a great Prima chipboard embellie on top of a vintage pocket watch(Graphics Fairy)
I'm off to link up!
Happy Weekend!

E.T.A Thanks for the DT at CCCB for choosing me as a spotlight artist for week 114! Such an honour:)

Hello new weekly challenge at The Shabby Tea Room. This week Fran is our hostess and she asks that we use:
                                         -COLOURS FROM THE INSPIRATION PHOTO
                                         - PEARLS AND CRYSTALS!

We are lucky to have TWO sponsors for this week's challenge. Digital Papers by Janet(Etsy) and Meljen's Designs. I chose to use the "Stamped with Love" image from Meljen and Antique Papers from Janet's Etsy store! This week you have a chance to win 4 images from Meljen's or 3, 2 or 1 collages (for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place respectively) from Janet's!!

I LOVED this challenge.. any opportunity I get to add some sparkle and bling I jump at the chance! That inspiration picture is just stunning! Let's dazzle!

Aren't those frames just too cute? I fussy cut them both, cut out the center of one and added some muslin to hold my pin and crystals..the other I left intact.

A shabby bloom with stacked pearls in the center..

Loving the papers by Janet.. sooo beautiful. So, what are you waiting for, come join in the challenge this week!

I'm headed to check out the rest of the Shabby Design Team. Won't you join me?

sweet summertime...TSTR #117

Hello Tea Room fans!

It's Monday and we are back with another fabby Shabby Tea Room challenge. This week the lovely Starr is our hostess and she asks that we use;
                                            -COLOURS: PINK, BROWN AND TEAL/AQUA
                                            -BLING!

We are lucky to have not one but TWO sponsors this week! Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps and Little Things For Cute Creations Etsy. You have the chance to win 5 digital images from Robyn's and a $15 gift certificate to Little Things For Cute Creations. Ready to play?!

I used the "I Heart You" heart and sentiment to create an everyday occasion card.. when I think of bling I think of pretty half pearls, gorgeous ornate frames.. glittery buttons... all of which I used here today.

Totally digging the fancy script.. the frilly heart behind the frame is the second half of the I Heart You image!

Loving the pink, brown and aqua colour scheme.. It will be one I turn to again.

Don't forget to stop by the Shabby Girl's blogs to see more great ideas!
