Good Morning!

ASFOS + Everybody Art & Some Sad News ...

Good Morning!

As stated in the title I have some sad news to share with you all today ... unfortunately the wonderful A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR CHALLENGE BLOG is CLOSING after this week's Challenge ... I have to say I was very saddened when I found out this news as not only have I enjoyed being part of the Design Team for a short while but I also took part in the Challenges beforehand so it will be missed a lot!

Good Morning!

I hope that all of you living in the UK are enjoying your Bank Holiday, I bet a few of you are taking advantage of the extra crafting time!

Charisma Cardz - Glitter It!

Good Morning!

This week it is the turn of Team Gem over at CHARISMA CARDZ which I am part of! The Challenge we have is Glitter It! I have decided to make something different from a card and I've created a Christmas Decoration!

I have tried a technique on this that I had never tried before ... until now! I won some Angel Fibres a few month's ago but never really knew what to do with them so I popped them into a drawer until I figured something out, finally I have! lol I love the effect you get when using them and I will definitely be playing with them again :) I have placed them between the cardstock cut with Nesties.

I have also used my Magnolia Tree Stamp to add some tree embellishments :)

Good Afternoon!

Apologies for the late posting! This week at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS the Challenge is picked by one of my Design Team, Katy. She has chosen the theme of TEXT ME! We would like to see some text on your creations, e.g. on your Design Paper or Ribbon, however simply just putting a sentiment on your creation will not qualify.

This week we also have a Second Guest Designer and her name is Louise, I hope you get time to pop by and check out what she has made :)
