2012

Hi everyone - here is my page for the current challenge over at "Once Upon a Sketch".

This is a fabulous sketch to work from and I could indulge my love of flowers (I don't think you can ever have too many.  My thanks to Erin Blegan and Natalie May for the idea to use both a colour and a sepia photo.

I have used some hand made flowers in this layout - really easy to make using my Cuttlebug.

Always Cheeky

Hi everyone - this is my latest page for the Design Team at Green Tara.

Lots of lovely Green Tara flowers, lace and ribbon and of course some Glimmermist and Diamond Dust.

Green Tara's Crystal flowers and sprays are great for layouts, and you can break them up and use little bits to enhance your flower clusters.

123 December Challenge - "Love Makes The World Go Round"

Hi everyone - here is my entry in the December Challenge at 123 Challenge.  This month the challenge was - the colour marigold, the word "make" and make your own anything.  My "make your own anything" once again gave me the opportunity to play with my second love, parchment craft.  I made the doyley and the butterfly.

I really love doing the fine fiddly work in parchment craft and I've also done a lot of fussy cutting on this page

Black With 2 December Challenge - "Jingle Bells"

Hi everyone - here is my page for the December challenge over at Black With 2.  The challenge was black with red and green and a touch of gold or silver.  I had a lot of fun with some paint techniques on this one.

My favourite border punches, some flowers and a little bit of sparkle and I think it all works really well.

Black With 2 October Challenge - "Angel"

Hi everyone - here is my page for the October Challenge over at Black With 2.  The criteria was Lime and Cream on a black background.

I've sewn, splattered some paint, trimmed it with a lovely Green Tara Lace and threw on a few flowers.  I've left my chippies raw as I thought it went well with these colours and papers.

  

Hope you like it.

Until next time - Luv Jan xx

123 November Challenge - "Say Cheese Please"

Hi everyone -

Just finished my page for the November challenge at 123 Challenge.  The criterion was Grey, Stamping on or with something unusual and the word Please.

I indulged my love of parchment craft with this one and stamped flowers on parchment, cut them out, heat embossed, then embossed them

 I also stamped flowers on acetate, cut them out, then heated them to make them curl.  Of course I had to add some bling and sparkle or it wouldn’t be me.

"Out of the Hat" November Challege - "Sweet"

 Hi everyone - I've just finished my page for the November Challenge over at "Out of the Hat".  The criteria was "stripes, two different punches and make a flower".  I love my round the page Martha Stewart punches and use them all the time.  I think my "made" flowers are complimented really well with the beautiful Prima spray.
