Lovely to find somewhere to be able to use a digital stamp in a challenge. I have used this Pink Gem Summer Milly Digital stamp. Lovely simple sketch to follow--thank you.

Black and White Challenge

Here at the Craft-room the challenge is Black and White. Always love to see what the DTS come up with and also what other people make. I think I may have overdone the distressing a bit on the image but I did enjoy making the card.

Autumn and Sewing Box Challenges

Image
Love Autumn shades so made this card for the C-R-A-F-T Challenge 125  where they have Autumn as the theme. Also it is for the Just for Fun  bedroom or sewing box challenge. I have already raided the bedroom and made something from there but my sewing box didn't seem to inspire me at all. I did find some lace which I coloured with Promarkers and 5 red buttons and I think they go nicely with this card.

The good, the bad and the ugly

A tough challenge at Dragon's Dream TIO this week. I had to think long and hard to find an idea. So---- It's almost time for Pantomime! 'Oh Yes It Is', I say Where good and bad and ugly come together in a play. We shout and cheer, we sing and jeer but always at the end Everyone is happy because it was all just pretend. The good fairy, the wicked queen and the ugly sisters and my new little alpha set :)

Well this was difficult for me as our bedroom is shoe box size and no room for much at all except the bed -well that's all you need in a bedroom really :). We do have a curtained cupboard built into the wall that holds hundreds of things so I decided to see what treasures may be hidden in there. Not many for sure lol. I did find a cardboard box that had held my new slippers and for some unknown reason I had put my old slippers in the box and kept it. I get dafter in me old age! Here is the box-now what shall I do with it? Here is what I did with it. I shaped it and then sprayed it inside and out with gold paint--stamped lightly on to it to make it look old and added some things I had embossed. Not pretty but functional for a change. It is a great  holder for all of the Christmas cards I have made so far and doesn't take up too much room at all. Off to find some more boxes to h...
