Docrafts Latest Christmas Range

Well its that lovely time of the month where I get to head off to Howdens Inverness to show off the latest beautiful products from Docrafts, its a hard job but someone has got to do it, I am so glad its me!!!

Its a great place through there and the ladies are lovely but this time round was extra nice as the morning session was full of newbies, at one point I had my head down it was so quiet i thought they'd all gone and when I did raise my head there was standing room only with a crowd watching my every move lol Huge thank you to Alison and Kellie for looking after me so well, can't wait to see you next month :D

Blinged Fairy Crown

Got round to adding some bling onto my Fairy crown :D I used stickles and some stick on bling. I am really chuffed with it now, I adore this range of papers from Docrafs., the yummy Fairy was a topper from the range just trimmed and the papers took from the Enchanted paper pack.
Anyho I used my Docrafts Pennant die, Enchanted fairies paper pack and topper, tri-boss hearts folder, some ink and scrap card to make a stable ring for your crown base.

And There Are More

I've been getting my groove on again, it's fantastic getting to play with some lush products :D

On A Roll

My craft groove is still kickin in I am delighted to say & today I managed a scrapbook page, I think it's been about 3 years since my last, I know slapped wrist!!!
I've started a real simple canvas as well with some lush butterfly's hopefully ill be able to how you tomorrow if I finish :D

Pastures New

I'm not giving away to much at the mo but I still wanted to show some of the 2012 craftiness so far.
I have the lush new Portobello Road stash and I know I would have loved them to bring out a Scottish range but with the Olympics & Queen Jubilee around the corner I understand why.
The ribbons and papers are über lush and I know I am going to play lots with this range :D
I also had fun with more of Do Crafts goodies!!

Tri Fold Bookmark

Creative Expressions Calling Card Challenge

 Life started out boring with these three kraft storage stacking tubs from Do-Crafts. The top black small was turned upside down and painted black with Tim Holtz cracked paint, the second I coloured using a Stazon Red ink pad and just wiped it all over the tub until it there was no kraft colour showing. The last which was the most fun was a bit of what I call decoupage, images where slapped on with pva in a totally random fashion and then left to dry completely, then I used Tim HoltZ walnut distress ink pad to colour the edges and add a little aged effect

 I found a little red satin ribbon in my collection but it was a bit too in your face so I ran a black Stazon in pad over to tone it down and then added it around the black top box to make it look a bit more like the hat.

I recently took delivery of these wonderful playing card rubber stamps, they where actually the reason behind this creation and my love of Alice :D To be honest there is nothing special going on with them, they where stamped coloured using my Copics and then I added 3-D clear glass over the red hearts and then on the back an ATC stamp(forgot to take a pic to show soz) To make a place for the cards to stand I didn't want to cut into the box so I had some cute teapot and teacup charms which where stuck down, with Pinflair silicone glue, side by side but with enough room to slide the playing cards in & the three cards where then glued together and added when the glue had dried.

I am actually really rather chuffed with the result and had peeps wishing to buy it :D
