Scrap The Girls......March Challenge.....

Hi Everyone.

I loved the challenge over at 'Scrap the Girls' so was happy to find some time to actually do it. You can find out all about it here:  
http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-challenge.html.....

The challenge was to use one of the 'She' quotes as your title and your inspiration...
I knew exactly which quote and photo I wanted to use and here is my take........

'She must be something special......SHE IS......

                                            SHE IS......

And a couple of close ups of the gorgeous (these have always been my favourite) prima flowers.........

And the new bottle cap beauties I have been making .......

Take care and I hope you all have a great week....

Thanks for looking xxxxxx

'Kraft it up' ...... March Challenge......

This months challenge at 'Kraft it up' can be found here: http://kraftitup.blogspot.com/2011/03/kraft-it-up-march-challenge.html.....
This months challenge is to use the following saying in your title or in your journalling.....'There is no greater gift than today'......
I had the perfect photo of little Sophia with her mum at 3 weeks old.......I just adore the photo......xxxxxx
I have used Kraft of course, then made some hand-made rolled flowers from some scraps of kraft...I used the saying as my title and just added 'Unconditional Love' as well.    Am happy with the end result.
So here is my take on the challenge:



                                                'UNCONDITIONAL   LOVE'

And a little close up of the hand-made kraft flowers......

Thanks again KIU for such inspirational challenges and great examples...

Thanks for looking.

Take care...

I will be back to the blog shop ......

Hi Everyone,
Well you would all know that I decided a couple of weeks ago to open an Etsy shop.   Well it seems that it just wasnt meant to be for me and I am fine with that so have decided to open the blog again.  I recieved so many emails from followers telling me that they didnt like to shop through etsy, that it wasnt australian etc etc and even had to take some things off the blog for customers to purchase just through me.  I was happy to do this and am more than happy to stick with the blog again.  I appreciate all your friendly emails and took into consideration your thoughts and ideas .  I will leave the etsy shop open with a few items for sale but will be back in a few weeks with some old and lovely new goodies.....
Once again THANKYOU so much everyone....

P.S   Stayed tuned for another giveaway very soon xxxxxxxx

Exciting News to share.....

Hi Everyone...
I just wanted to let you all know that I have finally decided to open my own 'Etsy' shop.
The shop on my blog has proven to be very popular and I just think that etsy shop will allow me to upload new products as they are produced and will actually save me a lot less in the work I put into it.  I hope you all will check it out from time to time and I look forward to seeing some familiar faces.
I think it will take me a few days to finish the uploads of new product I have BUT you should see a full shop very soon.

Thankyou all for your wonderful and continued support.

Take Care.

Lets Get Shabby ...... Challenge No 21.....

Hi Everyone,
Well I made myself a promise that I would definately attempt the challenge over at 'Lets get Shabby' this month.   I have been so very busy of late that I have missed a couple and quiet sad that I have as I simply LOVE this site.  Anyway I was true to my promise and managed to get this one done... You can find out all about the challenge here: http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com/2011/02/challenge-21.html

The challenge was to use denim and lace.   
I decided to cut up an old pair of jeans that were sitting in the box of things to go to the salvo's and had it in my head just what I wanted to do.   I am not completly satisfied that its shabby enough BUT am happy with my end results.   I have used white tissue paper which I crumpled and layered to make a somewhat kind of frame for my photo. I then put layers of mod podge over this and the whole page.   I used the denim to make part of the umbrella and also the stems of the flowers.   I have used some pieces of lace and also tied a bow with a lacy piece from my mum....This is the gorgeous 'Evie' on the beach at the entrance.

                                                                     'ENJOY'

                                                                     

                                                        And a couple of close-ups.....

The different laces and the detail of the tissue paper.....

Detail of the denim........

More details of the denim.....

Thats it for me this time round.

Take care.
