Happy Birthday Dad!

Hi, hope you had a fab weekend.

Saturday was Hubby's birthday and yesterday was our anniversary.

Slightly less celebrating than anticipated as Ossian collapsed with stomach pains - suspected appendicitis! He's doing ok at the moment.

Today is my Dad's 80th Birthday and as you read this I will be helping throw him a party.

This week over at BBTB2 Mayra asked us to celebrate cricut and use any cut we like.

Perfect timing for my Dad's card....

The card base is 8 by 8"

I used Real Dial Size at 1.5" for my cuts from Artbooking.

Very little inking from me....shock! horror! lol!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Do check out all the fabulous inspiration from my team mates and I hope you come and join in the fun.

I hope to catch up with you this week.

Thanks for looking.

                                                        

Cricut cut stencils

Happy Monday!

Hope you had a great weekend.

 

 

This week over at BBTB2, Maureen has asked us to use our cricuts to cut a stencil.

She is certainly bang on trend, stencils are everywhere!

 

 

I used Artbooking for the stencil cut at 5".

I inked my background with mowed lawn, seedless preserves and vintage photo and misted.

Heat dryed and then used Paperartsy Grunge paste over my stencil. I kept it rustic as I wanted the rough texture of wood.

 

I used Wild Card 2 for the owl at 4".

The DP is MME - So Sophie.

The leaves and sentiment are Paper Smooches...my latest obsession!

 

This was to show the dimension.

 

Do check out all the wonderful and varied inspiration from the DT and come and join in the fun. Remember your stencil has to be cut on your cricut.

 

Hope to catch up with you over the next couple of days.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

 

BBTB2 - Valentine Match Box

Happy Monday Friends!

Well, it's my turn to host this week's challenge over at BBTB2 and love is in the air!

I challenged my DT sisters to make a Valentine project using a heart.

 

I made a matchbox of love!!! Yeah...that was a bit sloppy wasn't it?!!

 

 

And for the inside....

 

 

I included messages, hearts and chocolate.

 

 

Supplies: Cricut TBBM, Artbooking, MME - Lost & Found - Record it

 

I used an oldie but a goodie for the box, TBBM at 3"  and the other cuts were Artbooking.

There's an extra stitched heart die from My Creative Time too.

 

I am entering this over at :-  FCCB - seeing red.

Pumpkin Canvas

Hi, how are you doing? Hope you had a good weekend.

 

Today my talented DT sister, Caroline, has asked us to use pumpkins in our challenge over at BBTB2.

I decided to make some home décor.

 



 

 

My canvas is 6 x 4.

I painted it with weathered wood and willow paints and added some walnut stain and spun sugar  distress ink and stencils.

My cuts were at 8" from Artbooking with the Autumn title at 5.25".

 

I added heirloom gold to my pumpkin.

Autumn Bronze Gilding Wax, you can click here to see my video tutorial.

Lancashire Rose Gilding Flakes, you can click here for my video tutorial.

 

 

I inked and scrunched my cuts.

Added lots of foam pads and silicone glue for dimension.

 

I loved how this turned out!

 

I know, picture heavy but they just don't do it justice!

Come and join us and see the wonderful inspiration the DT ladies have for you.

 

Thanks for stopping by.
