Shabby Chic Tag...

It's been a while since I last entered a challenge over on The Shabby Tea Room  blog.  This week's the theme is

Elegance & Lace

I had a couple of hours spare this morning so I made a shabby chic tag using some lovely products from The Ribbon Girl store I had lying on my craft bench.  A nice change from all the CAS cards I've been creating lately.
Check out The Shabby Tea Room Blog for some wonderful inspiration and creativity from the Design Team.

I did say I couldn't stop making them!  This card was made with all those litlle punchies and scraps that are lying around on your desk and was inspired by the lovely cards on Kirsty's blog.

I'm entering it for 'The Sweet Days of Summer' challenge over at The Shabby Tearoom.

Another Bloom

I just can't stop making blooms.  I made this one with pink bias binding and the spark was the 'Pink Lemonade' Challenge over at the The Shabby Tea Room to use Pink, Green Neutrals and Flowers.

I used the same method as here but instead of using ruffled ribbon I ruffled the bias binding myself with a  running stitch along one side.  I created the frame with some scraps of Amy Butler Sola papers that I'm eeking out -  love the muted colours.

Other Supplies:
Stampin Up Cardstock -  Crumb Cake and Pink Pirouette
Sentiment from Pink Petticoat Pretty Potties Collection
Machine Stitching

Anyone for Eggs?

Chocolate eggs that is.  :)  I've 'upcycled' an egg carton to fill with chocolate eggs for an Easter gift.
I've been planning this project in my head for weeks now and this weeks Shabby Tea Room 'Spring Color Challenge' seemed the perfect opportunity to create it!
