The papers are all from Summertime Designs Dance With Me Kit. The sentiment is from a Daisy & Dandylion set and is stamped onto some red card.

For my card  I have used this gorgeous silhouette from Floppy Latte called Butterfly Solace, the only thing I have done is add a little stickles to her wings for some sparkle.

The paper was a freebie from Bearly Mine Designs a while ago and I have used my new Marianne die for the silver mat under the image and the silver swirl under the flowers. The ribbon was cream coloured originally but I coloured it to match with my pro marker. I've added a butterfly charm to the bow. The flowers are plain white ones which I've edged with a pro marker to match them in.

Oh dear I'm late for this weeks Incy Wincy Challenge  which started on Monday my excuse well I coudn't get to my craft desk to get this card finished we have been decorating the older 2 kids bedrooms. They decided to swap bedrooms so we did 2 bedrooms in 4 days and I have to say they both look fab, Rhys went for lime green and silver grey walls and Shannon choose some wallpaper which is black with duck egg blue flowers on one wall and duck egg blue paint on the others. Back to this weeks challenge, we are being sponsored by the fantastic Dustin Pike, who is offering the winner a $10 gift card for his store, Doodle Dragon Studios

This weeks challenge is a sketch which our very own Heather has designed for you.

I've used this fab space themed cupcake from Dustin Pike coloured with promarkers and I've used Woodware Fluffy Stuff for the smoke coming out of the rocket. the rocket has been heat embossed with clear powder for a shiny look. The paper is another out of the fab grab box I got from SJ Crafts and the silver ric rac came from Crafty Ribbons.

I must just add sorry the poor quality photo's but the batteries had run out in the camera and nobody had thought to charge another set so I had to use my phone to take the pics.

Recipe time at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 108

Most of you will know that I have been GDT for C.R.A.F.T Challenge twice and they have asked me to join their DT, so I jumped at the chance. This week is my first challenge as part of their DT, This weeks challenge is a recipe: 1 tag, two circles, 3 squares or rectangles.

We are sponsored this week by  Digital Delights who are offering a fab prize for the winner of 3 images from their shop of choice. I have used  Presley the Pirate from Digital Delights on my card.

The papers are a free download from the Epson site you can find them here. I distressed the edges and inked them with antique linen distress ink. The gold coins are part of the same free kit, I have printed them twice and cut the smaller one out twice so I could de-coupage it, I used a sakura stardust pen to go over the coins to make them sparkle. I used some antique brads to hold the map in place. 

My tag is hidden behind the map, it's very simple just a retangle again distressed and inked with a piece of striped ribbon attached.

Don't forget to pop over to the Challenge and see what the redt of the DT have come up with.

Button challenge at Crafty Ribbons

 I was lucky enough to be picked for the last challenge at Crafty Ribbons blog, this time round we had to use one of the new button boxes for our challenge pieces, I chose the Tutti Frutti colour range. What can I say apart from wow what a great way to buy buttons you get a great range of sizes and styles in each box and the colours all coordinate perfectly with each other.
For my first project I decided to make a clock with buttons instead of numbers. This clock is made from an old cd the hands and mechanisms were bought from ebay. The paper is from DCWV and I have simply stuckk the buttons onto the paper where the numbers should be.

For my second project I decided to make a button hairband. With a length of elastic I measured around Aimee's head to get the right size sewed it together to make a circle, then I cut some flowers out of felt I used my Tim Holtz tattered flowers die for this and layered them up with a button for the centre of the flower. I then positioned the flower slightly to one side of the elastic circle and sewed it on. Next I sewed some buttons around the elastic so they went down tojust below Aimee's ears.

 Here's a photo of Aimee wearing the hairband and her new dress that I made for her over Easter, the colours in the fabric match perfectly with the colours of the buttons.

 Another photo of my little model thisis the one I made for her to keep.

And last photo this is the one I sent of to Ali at Crafty Ribbons basicly the same design just slightly more pastel colours.
I have to say even after making these projects I still have loads of buttons left over.
