Challenge 10 "Things with Wing's"

This is just a quick post as I am really struggling at the moment to have any motivation what with things at home!! But not to worry hopefully my problems will sort themselves out and I will be back to crafting shortly!!!!

Also in a mad moment I have erased my blog list so I am now trying to put it right which is a right pain!!! lol

This week the challenge over at the Crafty Purple Frog is "Things with Wings" So here is my design which I have kept very simple!

The beautiful papers are plain purple bazzils and Prima "Sweet Fairy" don't you think they are just perfect with the decoupage image "Hope" which you can find here.

The sentiment is from the new range at LOTV added with the butterflies and stickles perfect.

She really looks much better in the flesh!!!

Thanks for looking! Please pop over to my team mates blogs as they have some wonderful work to show you as always.

The Challenge this week over at The Crafty Purple Frog is "Magical"

Another hard choice for the image this week as Amy sent some more fabulous designs to us that will be on sale at the Crafty Purple Frog tomorrow!!

This is my choice she is just so delicious and such fabulous colours and perfect for the theme over at The Crafty Purple Frog Challenge!!!.


Just love how she looks in the photo's and I have caught the colours so perfectly.

I have made my background with Tim Holts distress inks and then stamped and embossed some prima butterfly flourishes in some beautiful colours.

I have added two of Tim's corner and some lush seam binding.

A metal tag with believe on and some extra butterfly's from the sheets.

I must admit I was a bit lost with the theme but in the end I must say I love the finished results.

Check out the other DT Blogs some fabulous designs!!!!

With such a beautiful image I decided to stay with plain card and gold miri as I didn't want to loose the image in a load a patterns she is far too elegant for that.

Well this is my last post for Christmas I'm sorry for the lack of posting and commenting as I'm just so busy with work and getting prepared for the big day!!!

Hopefully I will be back to normal soon (did I say normal well that will be a first) lol

Here is a Christmas card I have done for my Sister-in-Law it really is very beautiful and the image sits so elegantly. I am also entering this into the "The Sweetpea Stampers" Challenge Anything Goes.

The image is Northern Most Serenity and can be found at the Crafty Purple Frog.

Used a sheet of Miri cad and this and it looks fab with the light!

Couldn't find flowers to match so I sprayed these with glimmer mist and now they are perfect. Punched some leaves and added a few pins.


Thats it then just going to get ready for work!!

Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and get lots of crafty goodies!!

Lots of Love
