Last Minute Halloween...



My make over on the Bubbly Scrumptious blog this week is a Halloween card with a bit of a difference, To make it you don't need any Halloween stash, just some patterned paper, any patterned paper, it just needs to be pumpkin coloured!  There's a how to- make it over on the blog.



This is the only card I've managed to create this week, don't know why I just can't get inspired with the paper and glue.  So I've been knitting and baking instead.  I hope to be back soon.


Christmas Is Coming...


I've been playing with the wonderful new Christmas releases from Pink Petticoat and here's my first card using the Berries and Handwritten Sentiments downloads. Finished off with a sparkly button from the Ribbon Girl and some pearl beads.
I'll be back with some more makes before the week is out.

While I'm here I must just tell you about the lovely afternoon that Emma and I spent at QVC yesterday, first we had a tour of the 'Craft Prep' room, then some lovely lunch and just before leaving we sneaked in to the studio to see Marion's Creative Keeepsake show being filmed, what a day!

Edited to add:  The Holly punch I've used is a Woodware one!

Jingle All The Way To Christmas...


As it's 25th of the month it's time for another Jingle All The Way To Christmas challenge over on the Ribbon Girl blog.
To enter the challenge all you need to do is create a new Christmas themed project, blog about it mentioning this challenge then link your project over on the Ribbon Girl blog.  The challenge will run for 2 weeks and will end on Tuesday 8th November at 9PM UK time.

For my card I used the gorgeous wavecrest seam binding and a tiny jingle bell.  It's a poor photo - looks aand sounds a lot better in real life ! ;)

Creepy Crafting...


I'm not really a Halloween fan, probably because I'm so easily scared lol!  I do enjoy making Halloween projects though , so I just had to find time for this week's challenge over on the City Crafter Blog - A Boo-tiful Color Challenge. Now I really need to get back in the kitchen, those pots won't wash themselves.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Christmas Crafting....


Just a couple of Christmas cards I made using the Teresa Collins Noel Papers and Chipboard elements.  



I've never worked with a complete kit before. I normally just go for the 6x6  paper pad and then it stays in the cupboard because none of my other supplies match it!   Using a kit makes cardmaking a breeze, just perfect for Christams cards.

My Crafting Journey...


I've been making some card samples for the new Craft shows on QVC.  Once the cards have been on-air I can post the pics here on my blog.  So here are a couple that were on Dyan Reaveley's show a couple of weeks ago. 


They were made with Claudine Hellmuth Creative Layers Stamps.  So much fun to work with.  I used acrylic paint with the foam stamp, let it dry, and then stamped over the top with the matching acrylic stamp and archival ink.

My cards on QVC, who'd have thought it.  You never can tell where your crafting journey will take you...

A Treat Holder...


Today I'm sharing how to make this simple treat holder over on the Bubbly Scrumptious blog.  I've chosen a vintage style for mine but it could work for Halloween or Christmas.  Go HERE for how to make it.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Must go, I'm off to the Knitting and Stitching show at Ally Pally tomorrow and I haven't written my shopping list yet!
