Embellishments

Hi There!!

It's good to be writing a post today after such a long silence. I have been very busy over the last few couple of month's.I started to use my gym every week and I have enrolled on a sewing course. I've had my machine for so long and it's been very unloved. 

Today I have a some card's to share using the embellishment's I made in my previous post here

 

 I had real fun mounting my embellie's on chipboard and painting and glittering them. It's so satisfying!!

I used some acrylic paint and glitter glue on the butterfly, I like the distressed feel!!

 

Thanks for visiting today!!

January Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Hi There

I am happy to be joining in with this months blog hop!! There are so many set's which I love from PTI, but I decided to go for the Beautiful Blooms II set and dies. I remember the first time I saw these and they were at the top of my wish list. I had so much fun playing with them.

The Brief :With the new year comes a clean slate along with many resolutions.  This month's blog hop challenge involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust!  Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it might hold.  If you are in need of inspiration for your chosen set, feel free to utilize the gallery posted in the side bar of each set's sale page on our website, or go to the Previous Countdown page here on my blog where each set is organized by month of release.  2011 is the year where what's old is new again!

This weekend decided to cut and stamp a few image's with nothing really in mind. Once I had them all there in front of me I had so much inspiration. I'm sure i'll be having fun with these for some time!!

 

Bye for Now!!

October PTI Blog Hop

Hi There

I am really excited to be taking part in another PTI Blog Hop!!

 

For this month we were asked to make a card for a winter celebration (full explanation below)

"There is always a lot of focus on Christmas in our industry this time of year, as that is what the majority of the population celebrates. However, this month's blog hop is dedicated to those that celebrate winter holidays other than Christmas. Create a project that celebrates Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or some other winter holiday as we embrace everyone's beliefs in a celebration of diversity through paper crafting."

I have chosen to make a card for Diwali the Hindu Festival of Light. The reason I made this choice is that my home town of Leicester plays a big part in the Diwali celebrations. People travel from all over the UK to visit Belgrave Road in Leicester and celebrate with a big fireworks display !!

 

I thought I would try to re-create my favorite firework the cathrine wheel. I used the Green Thumb set and Dots Spots to create my fireworks.

Thanks for visiting today !!

Thank you Nicole

Hi There

Sorry I am a little late to join in the fun! I have a very early morning every day with my little boy and here in the UK the hop didn't start until very late. But I am here now!

I've been using PTI Goods for a about a year and I am totally in love with the products. If I can use the PTI version then I will every time. The reason that I would like to thank you Nicole is because the work that you do has changed my life and given me something that is for me and that I love.  You have touched people's life in a special way and that should be celebrated. 

Thank You

 
 

On I personal note, My son Max was born 15 weeks early and has Mild Cp and learning disability. Last April I found myself having to give up my job due to the struggles of having a son like Max. I have always worked and found this very hard. When I decided to take up Card Making, I didn't have a clue!! I didn't even know what a Blog was before.

Very lucky for me that I brought a magazine, which featured a card by Dawn Mcvey!! and the rest is history!! I have learn't so much from all the PTI Team. I want to thank you not only for creating such top quality and lovable products. But for also going the extra mile by showing people how to use them and giving a place to talk and share experience's.

Nicole your the best!!  

Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart!!

Adele :)
