Crafty Muse ~ Mayday

Over at Crafty Muse the next challenge
will be a MayDay Creation ...
love, flowers, romance!

So we are looking for cards or makes that celebrate
the start of May, Spring or Beltene.
It is the time of year when warmer weather begins
and flowers and trees start to blossom.
It is said to be a time of love and romance.
It is when people celebrate the coming of summer
with lots of different customs that are
expressions of joy and hope after a long winter.

Beltane marked the beginning of the pastoral summer season
when the herds of livestock were driven out to

the summer pastures and mountain grazing lands.

There is a prize for this Challenge.
The winner can pick a download package
and
there will be new download packages available soon !!


Now....using vellum. and acetate.
combining it with crap lighting....
makes good pictures hard to get!

So I used Angelique and coloured her
like a sparkly daisy!
The flowers are vellum punched out
with wee green gems.
Acetate was stamped with my fave flower
stamp using white stayzon.
Cutting out the window with my nestie.
I also cute the same but smaller in yellow
and used it inside to cover the acetate edges.

Inside is another piece of green vellum
with flower peel offs coloured with sukura.

Angelique was given some sparkle
with glamour dust to her wings & petal skirt.
Come on over, join in & see what the other
DT girlies have made this fortnight!

love teen xx

Crafty Muse.....Spot the dot!

New challenge over at Crafty Muse.

LOTS OF SPOTS!!!

So thats whatca got!

I am continuing to use the same
"Love is stamp" as part of the planned gift
for my sister's Birthday in June.
I am planning to make several cards
all with this stamp on it as it is her fave passage.

I have used two crafty muse images on this card.
I have used Angelique here on the front....

I am also still loving the brown, pink & cream combo.

I have continued the circles inside...
the left hand panel is larger than the right
the same as the card I made in card class last night.
I think I will be using this quiet a bit just now!

And I also used Millie inside,
who has a spotty dress on.
I dont know who makes these papers.
They were on special in packs at local craft store.

I added a white circle inside the card
so my sister can write her message in it.
it is layered up using my nesties.

I used 3 different sized punches to cut out the circles.
I must admit I am not keen on dots and spots
but I enjoyed this card.

Crafty Muse ~ change of seasons

Time for a new challenge over at Crafty Muse.
and seeing as we have just had a change of season
Spring or Autumn depending on which side of the world you live on
then we would like you to make a project based on that theme:

Change of Season

So since I am enjoying the start Spring this is what I made
using Angelique holding flowers.

I used the same design from card class on Tuesday.
The image matting overhangs the front page.

Papers are Bo Bunny which I love just now.

I love Spring, The promise of new life in nature.
The warmer weather.
It's all good baby!

Cupcakes mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Due to stuff and various things going on
I have been really getting these
Crafty Ribbons Cup Cake challenge cards posted here.
They are at last on their way to the guys at Crafty Ribbons.

You get a lovely selection of the ribbons they want you to use
and I love playing with ribbons as you know so it was a win win situation!!

Here they are.....

This one I am not sure about.
I love the ribbon flowery thing I made with wee bits of the ribbons in the kit.
The backing paper was a freebie from a magazine this month.
The Happy Birthday bit is a lovely thick ribbon from the ribbons I was sent for this challenge.

This one I didn't like as I was making it, but now love.
the cupcake is made from textured card stock.
I put the icing and the paper cake through cuttle bug folders,
the bottom one is actually my Christmas tree one.
The candy squiggles are chopped up zigzag ribbons from the kit.
The candles were made from wee bits of ribbon, glitter glue & liquid pearls.
I should have put the I love cupcakes ribbon over a wee bit
as I have hidden the cute wee heart on it.


Lastly, I know I have shown this card before,
But I love Sammi's beautiful wee fairy girls.
This wee cutie is Angelique!

I think I need to go get some breakfast....
all this talk about cupcakes is making me hungry!
