ECLECTIC ELLAPU CHALLENGE 

 Great challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu and the theme is 'B IS FOR..........'  You need to incorporate 3 things beginning with the letter B .... head on over and see what great makes the Purple Design Team has come up with .... 

Here is my project 

B is for BOX 

B is for BLING ..... who doesn't love a bit of BLING .....

B is for BIRTHDAY CARD ...

I recovered this box (which I got from a car boot sale) and added the file pages which are labeled 'General Birthday' 'Childrens Birthday" "Wedding & Anniversary' 'Get Well & Thinking of you" and "Open and Blank"   

I have made a selection of cards for each occasion and now all I have to do is personalise  the card I want to suit the person I will be giving it to .... Great way to be prepared for those birthdays, events and  those unexpected times you need a card ....

Hope you like it ... please leave a comment 

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to enter the challenge at Eclectic Ellapu

LEJ DESIGNS CHALLENGE

I am sooo late in posting this .... I haven't been very well : (      enough moaning lol 

This weeks LEJ Challenge is 'Celebrate'   

I saw this gate on LEJ blog and loved it ..... it reminded me of a gate that would lead you to a walled garden .... the perfect place to have a celebratory garden party ....

I cut the image in half so I could have it so the gates opened .... Then I feel it all went wrong 

I tried doing a garden scene but I didn't think it worked .... I wanted to add something other than the PARTY banner but no matter what I tried it just wouldn't work so I ended up leaving it like this ...... 

BUT I am VERY VERY unhappy with the inside and feel that I have not done justice to Lindsey's beautiful gate (but the image I had in my head was FAB .... wish you could all see in there ) ..... so Lindsey I apologise for my terrible effort for this challenge : ( 

thank you for stopping by and I hope I am forgiven for my terrible card ....

YAY My 1st Design Team Project 

My very first DT project for eclecticellapu   

The theme was self made flowers ... doesn't matter what you make them from or what you use them for just make them .... how cool is that ... so on to my project 

 I decided I wanted to wear my flowers so I stamped onto some canvas(using stayzon black ink and heat set it with my heat tool)  that i had left over from stretching a canvas to paint on (soooo glad I kept the scraps ... I KNEW I was right NEVER to throw anything away LOL )  then I put the canvas through my big shot using the Tim Holtz die 'Tattered Florals'   Before assembling the Jewellery I coated the flowers (both sides) with Mod Podge to make it much more durable. 

I poked a hole in the center of the 2 flowers and put a brad through ... I used the back of the brads to fasten the flowers to the leather cord ... and the one for the chain I used 1 on the arms of the brads to make a loop to go around the chain .... 

Hope you like what i have done and thank you as always for stopping by

HELLO ....

Well I have more good news ... I have been picked to join the Eclectic Ellapu Design Team I was really thrilled as I now get to create Cards for LEJ Designs and ANYTHING I want for Eclectic Ellapu blog .... I was really sad that Crafty-Emblies closed down as I loved working with their products and being on their design team .... so being asked to join another team where I can create what I want is fantastic ... I will blog again when my first Design Team project goes live which is not too long off now ... only a few days ...

I just wanted to share a couple of things I have made ..

These shoes are made from card and are for my cousin who has just had a new baby girl together with his partner ... baby Florence who is super cute !!! Congratulations Steven and Bev ... xxxx

I bought this cup holder from a carboot sale last weekend ... I got the idea from a friend of mine Deb who put a photo of her desk on facebook and she had one with all her tape on it 

it was only 50p.    I sanded it down and painted it 

Then dry brushed gold metallic paint over the top 

I am really happy with how it turned out and now I always know where my tape is (which is a first !!) 

I made a flip flap album for my in laws who will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on the 8th June this year ..

I plan it give it to them then take it back so I can add the photographs from the party they are having .... just hope they like it ..

Many thanks for stopping by I appreciate you taking the time

MORE STUFF TO SHARE 

Hey again : ) 

a few more things to share with you 

 I have to apologies for my photos I have NO idea what is going on ....OR how to fix them : (    this is a card challenge from Yvonne over at UK & Ireland craft swap group to make a card from only scraps ... it was fun  ..

This is for my in-laws who will be celebrating their 50th  wedding anniversary on 8th June 2013 ...

This clock I have made from foam board ... I cut the foam board to the size I wanted and hot glued it together ... the clock face is from Crafty-Emblies and it is mounted onto a jewellery display box ... I decided to mount it onto the box so you have easy access to the working parts of the clock and batterys .... it is fully working ... the pendulum does not work and is for decoration only it is made from a crystal necklace and a crystal pendant ..

I would love to hear what you think 

Many many thanks for stopping by
