My new blog.

I have just created a new blog called Sheer Elegance. This is where all my Wedding Stationary will be located.

I will post here when photographs have been up loaded so please take a look.

Wedding

Well the last 4 weeks my time has been taken up by making decorations etc for my cousins wedding which was on 16th Many 2009. This is the first time I have every decorated a venue and I was quite pleased with the end result!

Take a peek at the photo's below.

Craft Stamper ATC Swap

I have decided to have a go at making some more ATC's. This being my 1st attempt at actually being in an ATC swap. The ATC's are being sent to The Craft Stamper Magazine who hold a themed swap every month and this month the theme was Birds.



I used a swirl stamp from Dulcie Jackson using clear embossing powder and then inked it with yellow and blue.I then used the free bird stamp that came with the magazine this month and added accents with gel pens.I then added some beading to each corner.
The photo doesn't really capture the sparkle of the ATC's but you can see what I have done.
Really looking forward to receiving other ATC's in return to see what other people's interpretation of the theme.

Denzel Card. ( Dewdrop Craftz Challenge )

This is a card I have made for the Dewdrop Craftz Challenge.The challenge is to create something for the men! Pop over to the blog to find out more as anyone can take part.
This stamp is Denzel the Dog which I have purchased from Dewdrop Craftz which was shouting out for a kennel!
I wanted to make a little card which I could give to my husband just to remind him how much I love him " A little note..............to say I love you so much ".

Hopefully I have managed to create a cute card!!!

Clara Clock!

Here is my creation for Dewdrop Craftz Challenge.
The Clara Clock.

We had to come up with something which wasn't a card! This got me thinking for quite a while.............As been as my son is starting school in September I thought about making him a clock to help him learn the numbers and to recognise how to tell the time.
It is a long way off before he will be able to do that but we have to start somewhere!

Hopefully cute Clara can help him ( Clara is a stamp purchased from Dewdrop Craftz )

Dewdrop Craftz Challenge.

Now that things have settled down a bit I am able to participate in some challenges! At last!!!

This is my entry into this months challenge by Dewdrop Craftz which is a layered card.

My 1st Attempt!

Well I read somewhere in a magazine that you should try something new every year.

So I saw that as a challenge and decided to have a go at making fashion jewellery!

This is one is the 1st necklace that I have made and now I am hooked and can't stop!

I have recycled an old chain and added some beads! As this was a present for my brother-in-laws wife I had to make a box for it to go in!

Here's to many evenings of making jewellery! I just have to figure out how I am going to incorporate it into scrapbooking etc.
