Hi Crafty Bloggers,

Just wanted to share my entry for this weeks My Time to Craft challenge which is All White Except Image! I'd forgotten how much I love the white on white look!!

 I added a little sparkle to my image too, by colouring the hearts with stickles!

So happy with how this turned out!

Another Engagement Card

I just wanted to share with you a card I made for some friends who recently got engaged!
I tried to keep it fairly simple, and made them their own little logo type thing with their initials in:

 I embossed the backgrounds using my Cuttlebug All-in-One folders

 I designed the logo on my Cricut Gypsy, attempting to draw inspiration from the classic entwined rings

 Printed and foiled the sentiment then cut out, embossed and inked with the Nesties and DI! And added some little rhinestones and ribbons to finsih off

12 Tags of 2012 - September

So I have FINALLY got round to doing my September Tag for Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2012!
As usual with me I didn't quite have everything so I made a few things up but I think that is kinda the point to inspire you to be creative!

Here is my tag:

 So for my background I had no metal foil tape, so attempted to make my own by just running regular kitchen foil through my xyron! It worked fairly well but obviously isn't quite as thick as the real stuff, and obviously my alcohol inks were a bit more 'girly' rather than the rustic metal look of Tim's but I really liked this so stuck with it.

 I cut this globe out using my Cricut as I knew the wording of the sentiment I wanted to use, this I also did on word printed it out, cut out with one of my nesties and then distressed with DI!

 I had no metal numbers either, so cut this out with my Cricut again and then embossed with Platinum UTEE and I really like the effect!!!

So all in all very happy with my final result! I added a key I'd molded from Clay and a little letter ornament as my finishing touches!

Especially For You Christmas Card

I made this card for the SSD DT Call. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this image, and so kept the rest of the card fairly simple.
I shall also be entering into Anything Goes

 I embossed the corners of the base card using the Cuttlebug All-In-One Christmas set.

 Coloured the image in with coloured pencils and mattted her on an embossed nestie with foam tape.

 I highlighted the berries in the embossed design with some little red rhinestones,

 Printed and foiled a sentiment

And voila!
