Perfectly Rustics Challenge 28 - Bow or Ruffle

Hello There,

Yes I am still here, I have just been unwell for what seems like a long time.  Hopefully I am on the mend and I don't pick anything else up. 

Over at Perfectly Rustics we are up to our 28th challenge and this time it is bows and ruffles.  I decided to add a ruffle to a scrapbook page using a photo of Owen.  Who says boy pages can't include ribbon.  I am really happy with the way the page turned out.  I love the feeling you get when you create a project that you are really happy with and you can't stop looking at it.  Anyway enough of the chat, here is my page.

 

So get your ribbons and paper out and create a bow or a ribbon to add to your project and enter it in the challenge at Perfectly Rustics.

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:

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

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:

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

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.
