Elegant Moi?

Sorry this is later than planned guys was waiting for another blog to go live, read on....

Hello,

I have some great news to share today, I have been successful in my application to the House Of Cards design team.  I am really excited to be asked to join this new team and new challenge.  This is based in the U.S of A so the timings will be different from usual but I am, genuinely, so excited about this.  Please Click here to see the other members of the team and click through for their blogs!!

I gained my place, based on this card, which I used for my application, in the Classic and Elegant team (I would never of thought of myself as Elegant but I'll try my hardest, honest!).  Please click on the link to see the challenge blog, there are even prizes for followers, if you've come to my blog from House of Cards, Welcome please feel free to look around!?! lol

To celebrate Today I am showing 2 cards which, Hopefully, match the Classic and Elegant tag as well as my first Blog candy ( coming tomorrow)!!

Firstly this offering...

This card embodies what makes me happy, Crafting, from the comments I get my friends and family believe that Happiness is homemade.  It may not always be the right colour, style or even very good however the very act of making something or receiving something homemade, I feel, is more personal and cheering than anything shop bought.

This card is made with the filigree Card technique using Spellbinders Enchanted Labels 28.  The sentiment is form Waltzing mouse .






Secondly this card is designed to encourage everyone to enter the new challenge with the simple message "Try It"

It would be great to see everyone entering this challenge as they are wonderful (I've seen some of the inspiration for the challenges, July's is fabulous)

Blog candy to follow tomorrow so check back, all I can say is Enjoy...

No Mojo!?!

Hello Everyone,

Sorry this post is late but I had scheduled it and it didn't go live!

There is no Sunday Mojo challenge this week as I am very disorganised and by the time I remembered it was my turn to crash the goodies Wendy's son, DIL and beautiful granddaughter had arrived from England.  We decided to postpone this weeks challenge till next week instead.

Therefore instead of the challenge I decided to have a giveaway!  last week I received a delivery of Dies from the U.K. in the packet were two of the same die.  I contacted the company and they said to keep the extra one as it was too expensive, as it was their mistake, to send it back!  therefore I am giving away this die...

Spellbinders Bauble Blossoms one BNIP!

This is the die I used to make the flowers on yesterdays creation scroll down to have a look!

 I will do a draw next Sunday of all the people who comment this week so if you want to win the die simply be a follower and comment on anything this week, Simples!

All White (`n Black)

Good morning all,  I mentioned earlier in the week that I like to cut all my new dies in either black or white when I receive them to see how they cut. 

 

 This card is one from the vaults with a mix of die cuts made in this way.  I decided, when I was clearing my scraps at the weekend, to see what I could do with these.  here's what I came up with...

 

 

Im not sure what to say about this, I'm not even sure what all the dies I used were, they are all Spellbinders I think, Ill run a competition on this one if anyone can identify all the dies I used they can have a card of their choice posted to the!  Enjoy...
