oh-so pretty in pink...TSTR #124

Hello folks! Welcome to another week and a new challenge at The Shabby Tea Room! This week Debbie is our shabby hostess and she asks that we use:
                         *THE COLOURS FROM THE INSPIRATION PICTURE
                         *A FLOWER

Isn't that picture just mouth-watering delish! This week our sponsor is Digital Papers By Janet(Etsy). Just love her digi's. The papers are just a dream to work with. I used Antique Cards 1. First Prize wins 3 collages, Second Prize wins 2 collages and Third 1 collage. Let's get playing.

I chose to make a pocket with a tag this week. The papers are just so beautiful I didn't want to cover them up.

Lovely layers and a shabby bloom, made out of layers of muslin, fabric and my hand crocheted trim, all topped off with a ribbon flower.

The tag I left blank.. made the rose and flowers 3D to add a little pop...

My little set, all ready for it's recipient.. love the dreamy romance of Janet's papers!

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!

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:)

diamonds are a girls best friend...TSTR #119

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?
