Possibility

 Hi Everyone, 

Today,  I'm over on That's Crafty's blog sharing some creativity.

With my designer papers still close to hand after making last weeks project (see here and here) I thought I'd delve into them again for this week project- a mixed media card/ journo page.    

This time one of the designer paper served as a background for a textured That's Crafty! mandala stencil. Rather than go for a colourful mandala with crisp lines I decided to go with a more neutral, dare I say 'dirty' colour palette so the finished card / journo page would have a vintage, distressed kinda grungy feel/ look.


There's more to see and read over on the blog so would love for you to come join me.
 If you click HERE you'll be with me in super quick time. 
Hope see you soon

Always

 Hi Everyone 

As it was Valentines day at the start of the week I thought for my post today over on That's Crafty's blog I'd make a layered 'heart plaque' that is a project primarily based around 'paper crafting' with designer/ scrapbook papers. 

It's a quick and easy make that will allow you to showcase some of your favourite paper designs to create a piece of shaped art that you could display around the home or maybe gift as a token of love to someone you care about.

If you'd like to find and more you are welcome to come join me over on the blog. Just click HERE and you'll on you're on your way . 
Hope to see you soon

'Pattern Play' at PaperArtsy

 Hi Everyone and Welcome, 

Tonight, I would like to invite you to join me over on PaperArtsy's blog where I am sharing a project I have created for their current topic 'Pattern Play'. 

It's always such a pleasure to create with PaperArtsy's fabulous products and I am so thrilled and honoured to be one of their 'Creative team' into 2022 contributing to this topic.

I had lots of 'Pattern Playing' fun creating a '2022 'Happy' box that I plan to fill with lots of happy moments, memories, events  (no matter how big or small) that happen throughout my year so at the end of 2022 I can look back and reflect on what I hope will be a box full to the brim with 'happy's'. 


This project allowed for me to create patterned panels to cover the box.....


....along with patterned cards on which to write my happy moments , memories and events. 


To find out more about my Pattern Play 'Happy box' creativity and see more photos you are very  welcome to accept my open invitation (no R.S.V.P necessary) to come join me over on PaperArtsy's blog.
