Perfectly Rustics - 1 Year Anniversary!

Hello There,

It is hard to believe that the Perfectly Rustics Challenge Blog has been going for a year now!  My how time does fly, which is the theme for this fortnight's challenge, incorporate a clock or time in your project.  I used this theme to create a scrapbook page of a photo of myself when I was about the same age that my son is now.  Here is the page:

 

I look forward to seeing your creations over at Perfectly Rustics and a big welcome to our new Design Team Member Cathie Borowski!

 

Happy Crafting and may the crafting force be with you.

 

3rd Birthday Card

Hello There,

With a 3rd Birthday Card to make for a little girl, I searched out some challenges to provide some inspiration.  I have used a sketch from Just Add Ink and colour combination from Color Throwdown.

Here is the sketch:

 

And here is the colour combination:

 

 

And here is my card:

I am really happy with the way that this card turned out, I love the double bow and the three little hits of bling.

 

Happy Crafting and may the crafting force be with you!

 

 

Perfectly Rustics Challenge 25 - Starbursts

Hello There,

Challenge time over at Perfectly Rustics again and this time is it starbursts.  I used the Stampin' Up! starburst framelits, which I just love to create this double page layout.  I also used a punch art Care Bear, this time it is Grumpy Bear, which is my son's favourite teddy.

Here is my layout:

Two challenges for the Price of One!

Hello There!

I decided to utilise two challenges to complete one scrapbooking page, the layout design comes from Sketch n Scrap and the colour combination comes from Just Add Ink.

Here is the layout design:

 

And the colours are:

 

 

I went with summer starfruit, gumball green and midnight muse, three of my favourite colours. 

 

Here is my page:

 

 

 

I totally love the way that this page has turned out.

Care Bear Fun!

Hello There!

I am loving punch art at the moment and have slowly been building up my collection of punches so that I can make all sorts of wonderful things.  I have recently made a Peppa and George pig, much to the delight of Owen, my nearly 3 year old son.  This time I have made a Care Bear for a very special friend who is celebrating her birthday this week and just happens to love Care Bears, so when I saw this gorgeous little punch art bears, I knew that I had to make one for her.  I made Cheer Bear.  Here is the card:

 

I created the background with an embossing folder, sponging and some bleaching on the clouds.

 



I used silver ink for the greeting and added some silver sequins for a little more bling.

This is the inside of the card.  I just happened to have some washi tape that matched perfectly with the card.

 

I am really happy with the way that this card has turned out.

 

Happy crafting and may the crafting force be with you!

Perfectly Rustics - Glorious Buttons

Hello There,

The challenge this fortnight over at Perfectly Rustics is to add buttons to your creations.  I did a scrapbook page of one of my favourite photos of Owen.  It took a while to actually do this photo as I wanted it to be perfect as it is one of my favourites.  I was really happy with the way that the page turned out. Here it is:

 

So raid your stash of buttons and get creative.

 

Thanks for stopping by and may the crafting force be with you.
